The Light That Shines So Bright
Posted By jayna on December 16, 2009
Exactly one year ago tomorrow, the husband signed out of the Army. We were full of hope and optimism and the glass was sloshing around in all it’s half-fullness. We watched as our belongings were packed up with little care. And then we loaded up the rest of our lives and began our journey. Our “three hour tour” that would become a trip to our own living hell and back. Neither of us had any idea of what the entire year had in store for us.
We didn’t know that he would be dicked over by more companies than we can count. We didn’t know that we would almost buy our dream house, only to have it yanked out from under us. We didn’t know that our marriage would stumble, again and again. We didn’t know that we would end up raising two little girls under the watchful eye of an overzealous grandmother. And we certainly didn’t know that we could indeed stumble and fall and drag and claw and pull our family through to the end of the tunnel.
Well. We did. The light is shining clear and bright.
The husband is in Maryland. He starts his new job bright and early tomorrow morning. Exactly one year from where we started.
We can’t wait to join him on this bright and shiny new set of tracks.
Yay! That is the best news I have read all flippin day! Congratulations! Sometimes we need to go through the darkness to sooo appreciate the light. I am happy you made it!
I knew the day was coming, but knowing that it is here makes the whole thing all the more exciting. I hope y'all find that (next) dream house again real soon!
ah yes, the light at the end of the tunnel. SO happy for you!
YAY!!! Your family deserves everything in the world and the ultimate happiness! I am so glad things are looking up for you and praying you're together again soon!!!!!
By the way-that is one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen :)
So so happy for you!
I am so happy for you guys!
I am so happy for you guys! You have went through so much this year. I was right along side of you going through my own tribulations with my own family. I am so glad there is a light at the end of your tunnel. You give me hope that I'll find the light at the end of mine…someday. *sigh*
Glad you are up in my neck of the woods! I hope you like it and that you feel comfortable here!
