Ok, guys, if I ever get on here belly aching again, just remind me to look back at this post.

I feel really good today about my whole sitch (although it still sucks that I have until May before H is home for good). I'm really, really tired \:\)

Last night, we got on the web cam and I have to tell you guys that I have the most awesome H!! He now has started calling me "My Kelly" again and it just sends little butterflies in my stomach when he does. Also, the way he was looking at me is . . . well, I don't think I can explain it. I just KNOW he loves me so much and that is so awesome!

Yesterday, I took the boys to the nature center. We live in this small podunk town that has no zoo or anything much for kids to do. But, the nature center is kind of cool. S7 especially loves animals and they have all sorts of snakes, lizards, spiders & other "different" kinds of things. We actually have S7's bday party there every year. They got to pet a skunk yesterday and the bearded dragons and a python. Even S almost 2 did!

I'm just reminding myself how blessed we are. I guess H's year away has been a good thing for our M in some ways, I just wish it was over NOW!

When I hold little S almost 2's hand, he's just so sweet. His hands are still so itty bitty, but he acts like such a little man already.

My only concern right now is that H is really good friends w/ a couple over there -- both of them are there right now. The guy is a real jerk, drinks way too much, etc. and last night the girl was sobbing on my H's shoulder about him. Well, the guy is actually leaving a few months before her and I just hope my H doesn't get sucked into some sort of, well, ANYTHING w/ her if she comes knocking for comfort from him!

I finally just sent H the website for the B&B where I got us a reservation while he's home this next month. I couldn't wait any longer for him to get the info I sent him in the mail about it. He is SOOOO excited about it. \:\)
