Bad Blogger!!

I have been such a bad blogger.  I find myself getting behind on here so much!! So, lets play catch-up!!
Mike has left for training and will be deploying from there.  It was the hardest day of my life to watch my husband say "see you later" to our son.  I guess that I am still used to it (as much as one can be)...but, having Cason miss his Daddy is what gets me.  I know that time will fly and we will be back together again.  I just have to occupy my time until then.  We found out yesterday we will be able to see him before he leaves.  It requires an 8 hour drive and about $800 in hotel costs.  But, it will be worth every mile and penny. 
So far, my darling FL bestie, A day in the life of a Marine Corps wife..., has been keeping Cason and I busy.  We have practically moved into their house, well at least at dinner time.  She is an amazing cook. 
Last Monday, I was super proud of myself.  Went to the gym 2 times.  Went to the Fit Stops class and then to Zumba later that night.  In between, Cason and I went to her house for dinner.  Had a terrific meal.  She made orange chicken.  Well, on the way home from Zumba she and I both started getting stomach cramps...by the time we got back to her place we were ALL sick and getting worse by the moment.  She felt terrible, blaming herself for the food being bad.  Turns out...it wasn't the food.  It was a nasty virus that got to us all that quickly!! After 2 trips to the ER, several bags of fluids, and nausea meds I was feeling a bit better.  We all survived!!  Although, looking back, I really don't think that we believed we would make it.  Yes, it was THAT bad.  LOL!
Mike and I have made the decision to move on base.  After worrying about who would take Cason during an emergency with our closest friends leaving for JAPAN...we figured it would be the best for us.  I pray this is the right decision. 
It will be a little while before we actually move.  But, we will be saving a bit of money by moving there.  Not to mention be able to participate in more activities, meet others easier and feel a bit safer. 
I know that in our lifestyle, the military one, we find ourselves in some rather annoying situations.  We get upset, rant, vent, cry and pout.  But, one of the best things about this lifestyle is that when we meet friends they become family.  Maybe its because we are all so far from home.  Maybe it's because they just fit in...but saying goodbye is a part of this life aswell.  I am dreading the day I have to say goodbye to my FL bestie.  I know they are super stoked about moving to Oki, I just wish I could go with them.  :-)
Well, thats all for now.  I will post some pics tomorrow.  Goodnight all!
