Where I Left Off

It's been quite some time since I've posted anything here. Not that I've forgotten, this journey has been a non-stop roller coaster since my husband left. Honestly, I don't know where to start or how much I should share. I guess I'll start where I left off with some of the milestones...

Once Wan got to basic I was able to settle in to things pretty quickly. His company got a Facebook page so I was able to see pictures and connect with the family members pretty easily.
I was looking for our first place together as a married couple. I could not find anything that was in our budget! This just added to the frustration and stress I was experiencing. I kept a lot of this from my husband for a while because I didn't want him to worry or get distracted from his training. I was finally able to find an affordable place in our budget and moved in June 1st! I was so happy and thought things were finally going to settle into place...

Night one at the apartment I noticed my bedroom wall was against my neighbors living room. He's a young guy who LOVES loud rap music! It was horrible, I ended up sleeping in the living room for quite some time after too many confrontations with him to the point that I'm scared of him. It's a horrible situation that I hope to never find myself in again. Thankfully we just got approved for another unit and are set to move in September 1st!

Like I said...my life is a roller coaster!

Along with the stress of Wan being gone and the apartment, I found myself having severe side effects to the cortisone injections I got to treat my back pain. It made my Cortisol Hormone (manages metabolism, stress, etc.) sky rocket so bad that I was crying ALL the time! I thought I was going crazy because I could not control my crying. It was embarrassing and affected my work and social life a lot. Thankfully my doctor was able to treat it and my supervisor's at work were very understanding.

I decided to tell my husband what was going on and I'm glad I did. He was very supportive and did his best to give me comfort and kind words. He's so amazing. I'm very luck to have married my best friend. His training is going great and we are only a little ways away from being together again! It's been a long 6+ months and I am so ready for him to be back home.

My husband has lost over 50lbs while at FLW and I am so proud of him!

My handsome man <3

I know it's hard to include what's been going on in my life the past 6 months but I hope this has shed some light on this crazy ride I'm on. I am so blessed and grateful for these experiences and I know I will learn so much from all of this.

I can't wait to be back with my husband again and continue on this journey...through these eyes ;)
