The Time Has Come:

Let's see here - it has been roughly 2 years and almost 9 months since our last post.  A lot has happened in that (what seems brief, but not entirely) time.   About half a year following the last post Blake received orders to Germany.  Yes folks, you guessed right, we were not even living here a year and then BAM!  We had some tough decisions to make because I was in the tail end of school and we knew that if I moved I may never get my degree.  So as many military couples debate, I know we are not alone, we made the choice to have me remain in Maryland while Blake moved to Germany.  I can say after one year, a brief few weeks of Blake being home, and now 4 months later - I'm OVER this separation.  I know that many other couples face these same trials and tribulations, and if I had to do it all over again I am sure that I would.  Neither one of us regret this decision, but I'm sure as you can imagine, it is very difficult to spend such a lengthy amount of time away from your significant other.

Now that June is a week away I am in the process of packing up our house and getting ready to head to Georgia for a few months.  Blake is currently living life deployed and I must await his return to Germany.  I am very eager to head home for a bit as there are new adventures coming our way, as well as new adventures for friends!  I very much look forward to seeing family and friends and cannot wait to share our Maryland endeavors with all!
