Delicious Blog!

I was going through my magazine stash cutting out articles so I can recycle and clear up some space and came across this amazing site in one of them. http://www.smittenkitchen.com/. I think everyone who loves cooking will love this site and I, for one, am thinking about trying the swiss buttercream for my 25th birthday cake this week! So go check it out! :)

Can't Sleep

So I am sitting here listening to the hubby snore, wishing I could sleep. But I cannot, so I will write instead. It has been four months since we packed up all of our stuff and moved from Germany. Well 3 1/2, but other than me who's counting. :) I am so sad not to be living there anymore. I love being home. But in a lot of ways, Germany was home as well. It was the first place the hubby and I lived with our future bright. He had no injuries. I was 20 years old living for the first time outside my parents home. It was such an amazing time in our lives. I sometimes wish we could go back to then and be those same two people again. But we cannot. We are five years older and wiser, or so we think. So much has changed. I think that is what bothers me the most. I was such a strong military wife. I loved being one. I loved helping new wives. I loved knowing my husband was serving our country. I am so proud of him. And now that whole life is gone. We have a ton of friends we met while he was in, spread out across the country and world. And I guess I just wish for that friendship and understanding. The strength I knew I had to have and did have, that I somehow cannot seem to find now. I am back home, not alone, because my hubby is at my side, but so very different than that optimistic girl I once was. And I fear the people I grew up with, will never understand.
