Hunk from Hawaii

Hi-

You guessed it, yesterday was the day! We all waited and counted minutes until we knew He would be here. Then as I saw him drive in, you would of thought I was that 15 yr. old girl all over again. Flashes of memories waiting for him to pick me up from my Mothers house, flooded my mind and my heart. Then, he stepped out of that truck. I was full blasted in love all over again. "Is this hunk really all mine?" I thought.I was sure I'd just melt all over when our eyes caught for that first "hellooooo" glance. Actually Im still quite liquid.

I guess I've determined that being reunited with your beloved, has got to be the most intoxicating feeling., and what a gift that is.

My hunk understands that it will be quite hard for him to travel any distance for a very long time. (Especially since I've attached myself, quite literally to his side). Thats where I should be anyway.

It feels like a whole new life already!

Love- Mama Nut

Lady in Waiting

Good Morning Friends-

The countdown is nearly over, two days left until my man is home! I am wilting with anxiousness waiting for the day. Its definitely been a ride this summer. I realize how it must feel to be a single mother in ways few women experience; of course our soldiers wives have lived this way always, bless their souls. And for the record, I don't want to be single!No way, no how! If I get angry with my husband, and temptations of grandeur try to persuade me otherwise, I will remember this summer. So, there in lies the blessing. The lesson, of experience.

On a less introspective note, the first sale went quite well. My Mom was a trooper in the heat. (She swears the Irish are allergic to the desert and could quite possibly die from its dryness.) Therefore, she really was risking her very life in putting on this sale with me!ha But truly it was great to get more stuff out of the carport, out of my life! Lets pray the second one sells the rest.So I can rest.

My dear husband has promised me a month off! Thats right thirty days of rest, exploring and beach bumming to my hearts content. Man, I love the guy.

Well, I'll fill you in on how smoothly we really get out of here. I can't wait to see all my coocoonuts on the plane. Hopefully, we're not the live entertainment?!

Love and Blessings

Life in the Carport

Hey Everybody!
We're at thirteen days 'til Daddy comes. So glad to see many friends staying connected through our modern convenience of bloggerville. Yeah!!
My house is turned inside out, literally. Everything is in the carport ready to go to someone elses house. Thats kind of wierd, I must say. My Mom and I have been working non stop for the last few days. Even with all our work, we'll still have another phase of sale to do. But Ken will be helping with that one, I guess we could call it the heavy phase. (You know like, heavy stuff Im not going to touch?!)
Its been fun to see so many friends stop by to share well wishes. Its going to be a tear jerker when I leave this little qurkie town. I've really come to care for this place, and I've learned so much while I've lived wth these people. But we need to learn to take what's been given, an use it where we're goin'.Right? I can't wait to see how it all comes in handy.

Pondering....

Counting Down

The countdown is truly on. The children are X-ing out the days on the calendar until their Daddy comes home.,we're at 22 days. My excitement is starting to bubble at being reunited again.

These days of preparation is daunting to say the least. I didn't realize how many loose ends make up life. My job is to tie all these up before Ken comes back. My Mom will be coming next week to stay and help me with the projects, as well as getting the Estate Sale started. I thought we didn't have that much stuff...I was wrong. It will be so freeing to let it all go. To live a bit less cemented to this earth.

Ken loves Maui and assures me that I was meant to live there. He says I'll fit right in... what does he mean by that I wonder?! I think he sees me as a LBIM. See if you can guess what that stands for? Comment back with your guesses, you might win something from the island.haha
