Kids again

Have you ever wished you could go back in time and be a kid again, or just ask like one for a day? No responsibilities, nothing to worry about.....just have fun? I must say it is nice to be able to do that every now and then! In fact, JCB and I have done this a little more than I'm sure we should. Last weekend the topic of forts came up and me being a girl, I really don't have much experience with them. I asked JCB if he knew how to build a good fort, because some day when we have kids he will have to help them. He said he knew how and I asked him if he would build one for us. Being the amazing husband that he is, he built me the coolest fort ever.....at least ever to me. We blew up the air mattress and watched movies and ate pizza two nights in a row. It was probably one of the funnest things I have done in a long time. Tonight was our second child-like day, including hot dogs, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, Uno, and drum sticks! It was a good thing I had been planning another kid night because JCB had a hard Monday at work. He loved being able to come home and not think about anything military the whole night. I myself had forgotten how much fun sidewalk chalk was. It was a little harder though this time around, since I had Jones sitting right on top of my drawings. Needless to say I had to dust off his newly cleaned butt from his bath today! Ugh! Here are some of the things I wrote on the sidewalk!







That one is my favorite!

Back in the adult world.....JCB and I leave this Friday for his 2 week block leave before deployment. I only have a month and a week left with my hubby before Uncle Sam gets him for a year. But I had some very encouraging words from a friend today that were definitely unintentional, and I know it will all be ok. I just need to rely more on God, because he is the One in control.....not me. I hate hearing that last part most of the time, but in this case, it's ok!

So, in closing, sorry it's been a while for the whole two people that read my blog, I'll get better I promise!

Til next time!
