MIB...Who? Me

Well, we all know over the last few months (ok several months) I have been MIB (Missing in Blogging). As I said on my last post, LIFE has been CHAOTIC and that is a understatement. We moved into our home a few weeks ago (earlier than planned) and it has been wonderful. We both love the house. It has sooo much room for all of us to move around in and not one of us has to been in the same room, not that we would do that. Sniper has been home a couple of weekends in the last month. I feel sorry for him. He has been putting in some quick weekend road trips and busting his ass around here, just to return back to work Monday mornings. Thanks to him, we are all moved in, completely unpacked, house decorated and just in enjoying home life. He has taken care of everything. EVERYTHING! This is just the norm for him, taking care of his baby (me) and his family. We both are getting very used to (and it's hard to say good bye after the weekends) being around each other and the family life we enjoy together. Having both of are families in our home, kids galore (and then some) and us. We been doing quite a bit of entertainment and have yet to have really any quite time together. Unless you count when we finally go to bed in the wee hours of the morning. Someday this will be the norm and we all will be living under one roof full time and not just on the weekends. As I have said before, until he has his surgery and is medically cleared to put in for recruiting duty, this life we live in now, will have to continue on (weekends ever so often). At the rate we/he is going it probably won't happen until early next year. Oh, and it looks like his surgery won't be until sometime in April (unless there is a cancellation in March). Way too close to the wedding. Hopefully that means he will have convalescent leave during our wedding and won't have to take any "leave" time (trying to find something positive out of it). As for the wedding.... The wedding is just 55 days to go (April 21st) and I will be Mrs. Sniper. YEAH!!!! I can't wait. Even though he completed most of the preparations back in December, there is still so much to do. What we have left to do is have my dress altered, wait for the girls dresses to come in, buy his trousers, have the boys fitted for their tuxes, a huge Costco run, get the invitations out (lagging on this one), finalize all the last minute details, finish writing my vows.......there's more, but I can't think straight. Well off to enjoy the last few hours with Sniper and "our" family, before he makes that road trip to work. Dyzgoneby, Longing for the day when we don't have to say see ya in a few weeks (or several weeks).
