Return to Normalcy

I know I haven't written anything since Hubby came home, but we have been busy learning what married life is about. Although we've almost been married for two years, we still feel like newlyweds since we've only spent about five months together. We've been figuring out what works for us and discovering our differences and how we've each changed since he left in December 2007. We have begun to settle into a groove and while I am still searching for a job, we have, for the first time, a sort of normalcy in our life and our marriage. This past weekend, we went to a marriage retreat in Honolulu that was put on by the chaplains in Scott's brigade. I thought this would be a great learning experience for us both. We learned a lot about the differences between men and women in how they communicate, after we heard what they had to say, everything made sense. I had a much greater understanding of Hubby, his moods and how he communicates. Our life is wonderful and our marriage is great. While he was gone, I could not fathom life together as we have grown so accustom to life apart. It was well worth the wait.
