100 Days of Deployment

Deployments... Not the fun-est thing to go through, but they definitely give one time to really get to know ones self. 

This is what 100 days of deployment looks like through my eyes, and my camera. (If you actually read my blog you might recognize most of the pictures. I'm sorry but your just going to have to deal with me going over everything since Ricky left.)

The very first picture is one Ricky took. I really like it. It feels like a good deployment picture.

This is how I've been able to talk to and see my husband for the last 100 days. Still it's better then nothing.

 This is the very first of my projects. It was from mutual but still a project all the same.

 I reorganized the bathrooms, to mix things up and give me something to do.

 I started christmas shopping early.

 I made this to store all of the coins Ricky's gotten, until we can find a better way to put them on display.

 I started and finished this project all within about a week. I was desperate for something to do.

 My poor puppy got sick and I had one of the most challenging weeks of my life, but I know now that without that week I wouldn't have found my strength as an individual.

 More christmas shopping. This is Ricky's.

 I got my most awesome camera. I love it!

 I got a 30% off at Kohl's with my charge card, plus my employee discount so I went a little crazy and got a lot things that I thought Ricky and I would enjoy having and called them Christmas presents. 

 As you can see they are random but totally worth it.

 Well... I guess I could have said no to this one but too late now.

 I got a Christmas tree to help me get in the mood for Christmas.

 I hung out with friends who were kind enough to invite me over for dinner regularly so that I didn't have to cook for one.

 I put my camera to use and took some photos of some friends. (I really enjoyed doing this and am hoping to do more of it. HINT HINT)  :)

 I went home and was greeted by the loving faces of my family. Doesn't he look so excited to see me.

 I spent a lot of time with family, both mine,

 and Ricky's. I really enjoyed getting to know my new little brother in-law. 

 And it was great to spend time with the in-laws in general. Thank you guys for completely making me apart of your family!

 I was lucky enough to be home when my sister in-law had her baby girl. I love babies!

This is Abby. She is absolutely gorgeous and was so awake when I was taking pictures. I loved it!

 I started a new project. I hope it turns out good, but we will see since I don't really know what I'm doing and am just kind of winging it.

And just recently, (Wednesday night) we had a combined activity for mutual where we hoped to teach our youth about etiquette. It actually went over very well. 

So that has pretty much been a fast forward of what I've been doing since Ricky has been deployed. But the best part of reaching 100 days is that I don't have too much longer before he comes home! I can hardly wait!
