married he got out of the Army and joined the civilian world. After being married for 2 years, he ended up in the Reserves and being mobilized. For a year I experienced the life of an Army Wife before Brian returned to the civilian world. Now I'm once again going to be an Army Wife and little Hayley is going to be an Army brat! Brian has been mobilized again, this time under Operation Enduring Freedom. Over the years I've come to learn that you can take the man out of the military, but you can never take the military out of the man.
It's definitely going to be a big change for us. We've enjoyed the luxury of Brian working out of the house for the past three years and his short commute from the bedroom to the office will be replaced by a significantly longer commute from our home to MacDill Airforce Base in Tampa. He will be a Contract Officer, a job that he is optimistic will be fulfilling. He's going to miss getting to walk out of his office and play with Hayley on his lunch break and I know that Hayley is definitely going to miss seeing Daddy all throughout the day.
We spent the weekend tying up some loose ends around the house and spending time together with Hayley. We took Hayley over to the community pool (which is heated) today so she could get a dose of swimming followed by some quality time in the swing.
Hayley is finally beginning to get the hang of holding her own bottle (which would be a big help to us)!! Obviously you can tell she is quite pleased with herself and I couldn't help but share this picture!
