The End of Recruiting

I am going to cope out now and give a list of good things and bad things that came out of our recruiting experience.

Good Things:

My friendship with K
My daughter was able to go to one of the best public schools in the country
My daughter Sophia
We were able to see all the sights in New England

Bad Things:

My marriage almost ended and its still not the same
My shingles
I had to see a therapist and take "happy" pills (not so bad really, but the reason I had to was bad)
I gained 40lbs
I had no money for months
Half of our furniture was broken in the move from KY to MA (our stuff was in two containers and they dropped one getting it on the truck)
I was patronized numerous times by my husbands station commander
My husband was gone from 5am to 12am Mon-Fri and 6am-4pm Sat
He missed b-day parties, plays, anniversaries, parent-teacher confrences, and vacations
He lost most of his hair and gained 40lbs

It was a rough three years and I guess I can say now that I wouldn't change it. My marriage will continue to heal, I am still not sure it will be what it once was though.
