Starting over...

The last blog that I wrote was a while ago, after Christmas for that matter. Well, a lot has taken place. My husband is still deployed, but will be coming home soon. It has been a long year for all three of us, but one of growth, also. Dean has started the sixth grade, and is loving it. I talked to his teacher this week, who loves having him in class and said that Dean is always wanting to help him in class. Love hearing those words. We are reaching a point in his treatment for his bi-polar that will hopefully show some major changes. He is coming off of his Zoloft, which we found and have learned is not user friendly with his mood stabilizers. I have graduated with an associates in arts for elementary education and have moved on to my bachelors program. Only eleven years in the making, but I am happy to say that I am proud of my achievement. I got good grades and kept them up. I have finished my first class and have started out with an A-. Both my husband and I have decided that teaching is our calling, but he will be done before I am. I will be done after three and a half years, since I am working towards a masters degree.
For Gerry's home coming I have been working on a great surprise for my hero. I am flying his mother down to Georgia to hopefully be here in time for his homecoming flight, so she can be there when he comes off the plane. Eight years was the last time they saw each other and I am excited to have this homecoming to look forward to her being here, and giving them both a wonderful gift. I intend on recording it for their enjoyment, so I will post it when I get it done.
More later....
