Sorry that I haven’t been posting much lately.  I kind of hate my blog design right now and my computer isn’t fixed yet.  Solution: Avoid blog at all costs.

Hopefully that will turn around soon:)

I am outrageously tired tonight, so it’s going to be a short ToT.  Lily has been a ball of energy all day… I’m glad she’s in bed, even though she’s still awake somehow.  I can hear her in there giving her bear kisses and singing to her music<3

1. 
Thomas deployed yesterday. Finally. We’ve had over ten different departure dates over the last month so it was nice t finally see him go in a way… because now we can start counting down the days until he’s home!
We had to drop him off at the airport at 4:00 in the morning. Lily was in high spirits [as you can see in the crappy cell phone picture] until I told her to tell her daddy bye-bye and turned to walk away. She is very big on having both of us hold her hands when she’s walking and loves to snuggle between the two of us on the couch. Thomas took her to check the mail the other day and she cried because I was staying behind. So walking away from Thomas was hard for her she whined all the way back to the car -which took a while because I got lost in the airport:p

2. It’s highly doubtful that I got pregnant before he left. Which has been kind of hard on me over the last few days. A good friend of mine just gave birth to her second child and while I am over the moon happy for her and her family it was kind of a kick in the stomach. I’m all too familiar with the feeling and am proud of myself for being able to recognize it and deal with it in a much more positive way than I could have when we were trying for Lily.
I guess now I spend my summer running around with Lily and laying by the pool in a bathing suit instead of being sick and tired from growing a little person. We are beyond blessed with Lily and I will wake up every morning and know that I will never want anything in the world as much as I wanted her. My life is so rich and my heart so full because of her. And once I think of all of that it’s hard to be sad about it anymore:)

3. I’ve been working on a new design for the blog [again]. If you haven’t noticed I’m one of the most indecisive people when it comes to designing. I’m just really eclectic and once I fall in love with something I find something else that I love just as much and can’t decide between the two haha.
But the design is done [it's nothing special, but it's what I like right now haha]. The only issue is that I haven’t figured out how to edit my blog from my laptop. I have to go through FTP and all of that and it’s all set up on my desktop. Not a big deal, just a few file swaps via thumb drive… except that my desktop decided to not turn on and just wants to flash its little green light at me. I googled it and it looks like I just need to buy a new power cord for it. Fingers crossed. So be on the look out for that over the next few days and I hope you all have a wonderful week:)

Sunday was our last day with Thomas. Lily got to snuggle up with her daddy and spend an hour reading all of her favorite books over and over again.
I know she will be so different when he gets home in September so I wanted to grab these moments and have them for ever.

Took them out to get a few shots together before his deployment. As you can see it didn’t go as well as I had hoped:p
