Californication

Whew. It's been a while. I've been so busy trying to make a niche here in California for myself, that I've forgotten to write.

Little girl continues to grow and learn every day. She is getting so brave at the park and climbing things that make me hold my breath. She does, in fact, have ezcema, and it is getting better. It's been a long process, but it's looking better everyday. She has a kitten and loves him dearly, though she's quite rough with him.

The hubby is working his tush off to learn this language and pass school. I heard many people refer to this part of the schooling as 'deployment light' for a long time. I understand why. He's gone before I wake up, he gets home late most days. Some days he comes in for an hour or so before heading back to school for study hall, and is gone for another two hours or more. Plus two hours on Saturdays. It's difficult, and I know it doensn't truly compare to a deployment, but it is certainly a lot of alone time.

On a personal note, I'm now selling Pure Romance and it is SO much fun. It's stressful as well, but very fun. I'm making a few friends out here and there are two ladies in particular whom I am growing to love as sisters. I've put on a little 'happy weight' since being here and while it's not very much, on my short frame, it doesn't look good. So, Hubby and I are going to do P90X. I'll certainly let you know how that goes.

I've realized that my homesickness is no longer restricted to 'home' but also to Hawaii and the friends we left there. At least one of them will be moving close to us in August and I'm planning to go down and visit them. I have a trip planned to go and see my Aunt get married in September. My sister is going to come and visit and go to the wedding with me.

I have a lot of thoughts tumbling about, but it's time to get dinner to my wonderful husband who has duty today. :)

Good Evening and God Bless.
