Ok, let me catch you up about Tom, since last post I wrote about him he was still deployed and I was still very sad. Lol. Well, he got back the end of January and I was SOOO happy about that. I think everyone knows I didn’t enjoy those 4 months at all! We had so much fun together during the few weeks’ r&r he had, and then it was time to get back into the normal routines. Now, my parents had told me that I might have some trouble adjusting once he was home, and of course I rolled my eyes and said “yea, whatever”– as all of us do when we think our parents are wrong. But, once again, they were right. I had to learn to be on a schedule again, not sleep til 1 and stay up til 4. I had to put up with the comments about my driving and my music again. I had to start doing laundry every Wednesday- and folding it right away. After 4 months of washing only when I was out of things to wear, that was probably the biggest annoyance, lol. There are just so many little things that you get used to doing “your way”, and it can be really challenging to switch back to “our way”. I think we’re pretty much back into the swing of things now. And I do want to say that despite the adjustments and the challenges, it is 100% AWESOME to have my husband back where he belongs. 
Next up was February 18th- our 3rd anniversary! We got each other cards and went out to a really nice restaurant, Jam. It’s a classy teppanyaki style restaurant. We love it; the food and the atmosphere are just excellent; we’ve gone there a handful of times, usually for special occasions due to the higher price tag. We had a great time, and we both agreed: it feels like we’ve been together forever and feels impossible that it’s been 3 years already. Funny how that works, huh? 
(Yay, 3 years!)
Our next big adventure– we are off to China in 9 days!! It’s going to be SO incredibly awesome. Here’s the link where you can check out our game plan and be super jealous lol.
