Some various updates.

Well, David is home and back to work. I am back to work on the weekends and at the end of the month will be during the week as well. Things are going well and we are getting to know each other again.

I started taking Clomid which is a fertility treatment. David and I are going to try to have a baby. I have finished my second cycle (month) out of the six I am allowed and so far no results. On a positive note, the first cycle I did not ovulate and this last cycle I DID ovulate. That is good news :)

While we discussed having a family we decided that my car (a two door coop) was not the best choice for babies so we decided to trade it in for a Chevrolet Sonic. David liked the car so much that he went ahead and traded his SUV in for another Sonic. Our payments worked out to be about the same so that is good. Plus now we both have cars that we love and that will be great if we have a family. 


David and I went to the last ball. I was not impressed with the food but the location was a lot better than last year. I also LOVED my dress this year. I did make a deal with David because he hates dressing up the deal was that he would not have to go to anymore balls if we went to this last one. 




We also got a new puppy, Max! He was born 09/10/11. He has already gotten so big! He is Yoric's shadow, everywhere Yoric goes there is Max. Also he is so smart. I taught him how to shake, sit, lay down and give hi fives. Right now we are working on "hugs". We will see how well that works out.




Getting back into the swing of things.

If someone had told me when David was deployed that I would have a hard time adjusting to him coming home I would of laughed at them! While he was deployed I could not imagine having a hard time adjusting but now that he is here I totally understand what people were talking about.

Since he has been back I have loved spending time with him although I have to admit that it was a struggle at first. I had to get used to being touched again and as odd as that seems it was a difficult at first. I had gone so long by myself that having someone in the house with me and at random times touching me (like my back, or holding my hand) was sooo odd.

Getting back into cleaning for two people is STILL a struggle for me. I had become accustomed to making a mess and cleaning after myself, now I have to clean up after another person. I find myself becoming angry sometimes because of the lack of help, but he was that way before he deployed so I do not know why I am having such a hard time with it now.

Having to account for my time is something else I am not used to. I had gotten used to being able to go wherever, whenever I wanted. Now I have someone who wants to know where I am and when I will be home. It is an adjustment.

I LOVE that David is home, I love spending time with him, but getting back into the swing of things has been a challenge.
