Busy.

   Long time, no post! Wow. Life has been crazy busy since the last post. Chris made it safely back to his COP after R&R. We miss him like crazy! R&R is such a tease! They give you long enough to get into a routine, then they take him away! But, Declan and I have been back into a routine since Chris left, and it definitely doesn't get easier. Things have been so rough lately. We've been super busy and Daddy has been super busy so we haven't been able to talk to him much lately.
   School has kept us busy. The classes I'm taking definitely aren't getting easier, so I'm having to keep up with my studying. But, finals are almost here and I can't wait for a break! Tomorrow is the only day I have class, then I'm done for the week. The professors however, decided to assign us a butt-load of homework. But, not too much longer and I'm done for he semseter! Next semester I'm taking Microbiology, Genetics, and Chemistry II. That will definitely keep me busy until Chris comes home!! I'm so excited!
   I was thinking the other day how awful it's gonna be waking up on thanksgiving day and christmas day without our Hero. =( Poor Dec. He has no idea. We are definitely ready for March to get here! We are SO anxious. We're gonna be SO busy next month! My sister-in-law is graduating from Nursing school in Virginia and Dec and I get to see her graduate! We can't wait to see her! A few days before her graduation, are my finals. Right after my last final, Dec and I are flying to Baltimore to stay with my brother-in-law and his wife. It will be an awesome break from school. We're gonna have a blast. Everytime I ask Dec if he wants to fly to see them, he says, "No, see Dada." It totally breaks my heart, but I just keep telling him that we'll see Daddy soon!
   Besides being busy, we are doing pretty well. I'm planning on working on Potty-Training Dec over thanksgiving break, so hopefull we'll see some improvement. We talk to Chris some, but he's been so busy lately. He's doing well, but he doesn't get to sleep as much as he should. They keep him busy with a lot of over-night duty, then has stuff for him to do during the day. He needs sleep so he can stay alert! We definitely appreciate all the prayers. They are keeping him alive! We're so thankful for all of the support we've been given as well!
