Life These Days

Thought I'd make a blog post and include some images from this morning. A little info on how my days have been lately with just the kiddies. Especially since daddy is away on the ship. Theyre getting ready for an upcoming deployment this year.

I'm taking this as a sort of practice for when the deployment does get here. So many different emotions going on in my head. Mainly because my honey is usually so involved in our day to day lives. We do everything together. I really do consider him my best friend.

So I've been trying to find a new normal for us. Making lots of lists, schedules, and changes to make sure we get to everything. It also helps me stay busy and in the moment. As opposed to focusing on the fact that he isn't here, ya know?

Well we've been taking on several projects around the house. The most recent was adding to a gallery wall in the boys room. My plan was to add shelves but they just didnt work out. I ended up just leaving them on the ground and using them as a book racks instead.

They were unfinished oak and I stained them with a weather wood color and painted the interior an aqua color. I'm including some photos of the attempt at putting them up haha. It's really just pictures of the boys fooling around. Enjoy!

Munden Point Park + Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge

So we headed to Back Bay Wildlife Refuge on Thursday afternoon. We’ve gone a couple times in the past & always enjoy our time there. This time we arrived around 3pm. Since the sun goes down later this time of year, we were able to see more. And by see more I mean snakes & deer which we definitely saw more of.

On Friday we just about made it to the North Carolina state line cause that’s where Munden Point Park is located. It was beautiful, peaceful, & secluded. Almost too secluded if you ask me haha. We had a great time though. There were lots of trees, water all around, and multiple playgrounds. We recommend checking it out. Both places are located in the Pungo/Sandbridge areas.

Well here is our experience pretty much in pictures or at least the kids’.
