Today was another weird day. Started out good with breakfast with the kids and then PWOC. Then it just flatlined. It was around 3 that I started not feeling well. I was tired and achey all over. I wanted to go to bed, but couldn't. So I ordered pizza and sat with the kids after dinner to watch tv and wait for bedtime. I was grateful when I put the kids to bed and was able to relax.
My husband is starting, I think, to be a little more comfortable with my situation here. I am starting to make connections and make some real friends. I am attending church and bible studies. I have even volunteered at the chapel nursery for this upcoming weekend. Also, I have a FRG meeting in a week that should help connect me with other spouses in the unit. I am feeling optimistic. I have a few really good friends that I know I can count on, and that is such a relief for me. Now, if I happen to make a few more, that would be great too. The point is, no Army wife can do this alone. She needs friends. Not just family either, she needs other women who have been through this and live this lifestyle. She also needs other women of faith to come beside her, encourage her, and pray with/for her in her times of hardship, need, happiness, and trial. I am happy to say that I am making those connections. I am excited that I not only have the unyielding support of my amazing family, my amazing best friend, my awesome husband, and now I have support right here where I live! It is an amazing feeling that truly does lift my spirits!
