16 weeks down!

Can you believe it? 16 weeks! I feel like I shouldn't be counting in weeks anymore but in months! Almost 4 months down!!

This past week was probably most exciting week we have had since Chris left for Afghanistan. Generally our weeks are pretty routine and busy but last week was a workload... in a good way. We welcomed Baby Carter to our family and both Audrey and I have enjoyed having a new baby around so much!! I cannot believe he is over a week old already and by the time Uncle Chris meets him he will be at least 5 months old!

Also, this week was the Glass City Marathon that I do not need to elaborate on it anymore but wonderful weekend it was. A great accomplishment and wonderful people to share this experience with! I am looking forward to getting some rest and not stressing about adding running into my busy schedule and just getting out when I can.

As for Chris he is still in route to his new base and the communication is pretty decent. He has access to WiFi so I am able to talk to him via text message everyday :) Audrey is doing very well but told me the other day how hard it is without her dad. And that another kid's dad picked him up from school and why couldn't her dad pick her up. She still does not understand the realm of everything but we are chugging right along almost into May!

May will be another busy month including my birthday (uh oh, I may be getting officially old) headed to the Eric Church concert and some (hopefully) warmer weather! And I want to plan some kind of "vacation" for Audrey and I. When Chris is home we are always going somewhere... Hocking Hills, Kalahari, camping, Cedar Point... seems like at least once a month we are normally headed somewhere but now that he is deployed I feel like we shouldn't be doing those fun things without him. But I know for Audrey sake (and my sanity) we need to still be going places or doing things. Plus, I know that Chris wants us too! So with some warmer weather headed our way I want to take a break from this hectic life and get away for a few days. Finished with 16 weeks with the deployment and time seems to be flying by!
