another deployment day gone by

I last spoke with our soldier on June 27th, his 23rd birthday. His sisters and brother ask every day if I spoke with him. I see a trace of him on his web page.. no updates, no blogs, just a sign on, which for the most part on most days is enough to keep me going. Today though, I just miss him. I just wish he were here to see his sister's belly growing and his sister in laws belly growing. Wish he were here to see that Isabella is walking now. Emma has so many new adult teeth growing in and is excited about starting first grade.

We all miss our soldier and pray for his safety and the safety of all the men and women there. I just want to hear his voice. I hope he calls today.

keeping motivated

In the past, I had started some of my scrapbooking projects and left them unfinished. I am happy to say I have been working right along and will complete a project before moving on to the next.

I promise not to purchase anything new, papers, stickers, etc..until I do a hundred pages. The mini album I am creating now I will count as 5 pages since it is so small but still has taken quite a bit of time.

Besides having four wonderful adult children, I have three stepchildren with beautiful children of their own. I am Nana to them and love them dearly.
My own children are having grandbabies numbers three and four coming soon. That is motivation enough to get all the albums in order.

I promised my SrA I would finish his album before he comes home from this deployment from a sandy area . I will do so, NG, I promise.
I sure am lucky to have so many photos to organize.
