New Years Resolutions
I’ll admit… I have never set New Year’s Resolutions. Maybe because I am afraid of failure. Maybe I have a hard time with the thought of limiting myself to improvement at only the beginning of the year. I think it is because of some reason in between there. I recently read an article with some New Year’s Resolutions from TRICARE: “New Year: Time to Commit to Old Resolutions” It includes ways that TRICARE can help you from smoking to stress to eating right. I think it is a concise way for you to think about how you can commit to a New Years Resolution and stick to it. My resolution…

We had our VERY first swim-lessons on Saturday.

We Have Established Communication
Hubby is finally at his final destination. After months of training and then integration they finally set up ‘camp’ for their remaining months while overseas this week. I am happy for him as I know he hasn’t exactly enjoyed all of the, what he feels as, unnecessary training. I think now they will settle into routine and we can pray the rest of our deployment time will fly. The best part of his settling down for the long-haul for us though is he finally has his own Internet access in his room, albeit it a bit archaic. It is so much better then relying on quick phone calls. Up until…
