I'm sure you'd like to know what is happening in one hundred and thirteen days. Well I'd like to tell you. MY HUSBAND IS GETTING OUT OF THE ARMY!!!!!!!!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't as scared as I am excited. I'm so so so excited, but the fear of the unknown really freaks me out. I know I shouldn't worry and I know everything will be okay in the end, but it is still a scary transition. This is the only life I've known as a married woman. It helps that Chase's ETS date isn't until September, so we will still get the same paycheck we're getting for a couple of months after we move back to Oklahoma. I think I'm ready for him to be done with the active duty life and to start my own career, but still there's that part of me that's scared.
I'm not ready to have to live with family for a while as we get completely on our feet again, but I am very thankful that many have offered their homes to us. I'm not ready to not have heath or dental care. I'm not ready to not have the steady income that we have now. I am ready to see my family and friends everyday, or at least a lot more often. I'm ready to go to Cosmetology school and hopefully become a Cosmetologist by 2014. I'm ready to see and hang out with my sister more as she's growing up so quickly. I'm very excited that I'll be there for her whole senior year!
It's also exciting to know that when Chase and I decide to have kids, our family and friends will be close by. We won't be living 4+ hours away. I'm excited that we don't have to move because the Army says so. I'm excited that my husband won't have any more 24 hour duties, field time, or deployments!!!!
There are good things about this life that I'll miss. I will miss the friends I've made here and because Chase is in the Army. I'll miss the things I've seen, done and learned, but here's to moving on and finding more things to do, see and learn. :)
That is soo exciting. My husband's contract is up in 2 years. He's still unsure if he is going to reenlist or not. It's hard for me because he loves being a Marine and he's so good at it. He's living his dream and I like seeing him happy. But then again...I want him safe and around for any future children we may have. So it's a hard decision! I'm glad your husband is doing what he feels best and that you two will be able to start a new and exciting chapter of your lives together!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) I'm really excited, but I don't know. Lol. I'm still nervous. My husband didn't have a choice but to get out.
