Update

I haven't written anything in a while... I am pretty bad at updating this thing!

Shawn is home from deployment, but still in Hawaii. We have less than eight months left before he is home with Ellie and me in Salt Lake City!!! We are getting pretty anxious now and the reality is starting to set in. We are excited to finally be together as a family.

Ellie turned four last week. My baby girl is not a baby anymore! She is a big girl! I look through pictures of her and I can't help but feel like time is flying way too fast. Yesterday I was at my cousin's wedding, and I was thinking about when we were kids. Now she was getting married and starting a family of her own. It made me think that one day I will be sitting there watching my own daughter dance at her own wedding. It was kind of a bittersweet revelation. I can not wait to see what the future holds, but it is crazy to think how fast the past four years have gone. If the rest of our years go this fast, I better not blink.

More to come later, I promise.
