over it. - Whimsical September

I miss my husband with every fiber of my being right now.

I was well aware of what I was getting myself into when I married Jamie.

When I married myself into the Army.

But right now I’m just pissed, for lack of better word. I am married, for crying out loud, and is it too dang much to ask to spend a Friday night together?

Making to-do lists, redecorating furniture, shopping at TJMaxx, practicing and speaking for Rachel’s Challenge – all things that I truly love that are keeping me from spiraling into a miny form of depression that will ensue if I spend too many nights alone thinking about how much I miss my handsome man. How much we are missing out on experiencing together. How much I just want this year to end.

Tomorrow Alabama kicks off another football season. I should be ecstatic like usual, but I’m just not. I just can’t be. I want to be watching the games with Jamie. And it’s not like we’ve watched every game together, but we’ve at least watched them at the same time and been able to text constantly back and forth about our frustrations and excitement the entire time.

I haven’t missed watching a season opener with Jamie since before I even knew he existed.

Deployment, I hate you.

I know the sun will come up tomorrow.

This is just me venting.

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
