We are now 12 months till Jason’s official retirement from the Navy. By next March 2023, he will have served 21 years of service behind him. Hubby is working on completing appointments, figuring out life and what he wants to do. I think part of that will be his pursuit of a Bachelors and using the GI BIll. In the meantime I plan on continue to work, starting school in the fall. Ella will be starting Modeling training for the next 6 months. Hazel will start Ballet or gymnastics over the summer and possibly swim lessons. We plan to spend lots of time at the base pool and beaches. The girls are coming up on spring break mid march and I am planing some trips around my work schedule. Ella still has lacrosse through late April, Hazel is finished with the winter cheer season.

For me, as this is an exciting time for all of us, I am having some difficulties keeping up, with everything. Whether its job performance, caring for the kids, various responsibilities. Jason tells me all the time, to not spread myself thin. I don’t think that this is the case, but maybe I also cant see things on the exterior, objectively. I am managing, but not nearly as well as I could be. Today I have another weekend lacrosse game with Ella, it is time well worth it for the time spent together. We drive this time near St. Augustine. The amount of girls lacrosse just visible with the round robin games on Sunday in the NE Florida area is just amazing. As I feel myself struggling, Sundays with Ella seems to be just enough to ground me.
