Sorry for the interruption

You know, it's been a bit odd.  We've been preparing for or anticipating something/events since Dec. 1st so once it all came to pass and was behind us I found myself in a very strange place.  I've not really felt much like blogging, or visiting, or crying, or really anything for that matter.  I've been just, blah...  I will be catching everyone up on the happenings and going ons we have had, but right now I thought I would at least explain the absence. 
We did go to CA and got to see our bonus kids and had the ceremony for Chad (I'll blog later about all that) and then our bonus boys and two of the wives came for a visit (I'll blog later about that as well) and it was a great time (both).  However, now I find myself with really nothing to prepare or plan for so now I'm just left with my feelings (sad, happy, made, etc.) and honestly it scares me to death.  As long as I had something to get ready for I was fine, now, not so much.  I don't want to begin breaking down at the smallest things and there is a part of me that is terrified I might do just that.
So don't worry that I've been a bit quiet and not blogged much.  I promise to catch up and fill you in on everything.  I guess I just need to get my head around things first and then I will return.  :)

In the meantime, don't forget about R.E.D. Fridays http://400wakeups.blogspot.com or look for Daisy and Elm Jewelry and Rosaries on Face Book and support her business as well as our troops.  Also, don't forget about http://undergroundvintage.blogspot.com and support her business as well as our troops.  We also have a Christian rock band called "Take It Back" that you can search on Face Book or Myspace for and they too are donating to our Wings for Our Troops "in loving Memory of CPL Chad S Wade" with t-shirt sales and their music is reaching the world in a very unique way.  Support these folks who are paying it forward for our troops tomorrow!  Thank you in advance for all this support.
