Has it really been 6 years???

6 years have come and gone.

I'm glad to report that in 6 years, I have grown up.
The struggles are still real, still everyday, still annoying.
But I've grown up.
I've gotten better at balancing my time, my energy, my family.

In 6 years, we've moved.
From Pomeroy, OH to Middleport, OH.
From Middleport, OH to Eglin AFB, Florida,
From Eglin AFB, Florida to Dayton, Ohio.

We've shifted from being a civilian family to a military family.
Bob has graduated from OU and is an officer in the Air Force.
So by default I am a military spouse, and our kids are now military brats.
He's working on his masters degree.

We've added to our family.
Not in the way I imagined.
Once in 2012 and again in 2014.
Sid came from Petwelfare on Eglin AFB.
Dox came from a different shelter.

Mike has grown.
Not only taller, but stronger.
Everyday he learns something new, and although the struggles are still the same, they are somehow not as major as they once where.
He underwent a major hip surgery in 2013.
He underwent a major shunt surgery in 2015.
He will undergo a major leg surgery in 2016.
He takes dance and loves it.

Greg has grown.
He has also gotten taller and stronger.
He has a quick wit about him, and is experimenting with jokes.
He is going into 5ht grade and has the best laugh.
He is tender hearted, and strong willed.
I wouldn't have him any other way.

A lot has changed in 6 years.
