I know he misses it, but I am with you and much happier with civilian life. I miss the military perks (who knew Walmart was so expensive?!) and such, but definately not the lifestyle. Moving around will never be the right thing for me. But I constantly see my dad reach for his cover when he leaves the building, and everytime we drove up to the gate at the apartments, he would automatically reach for his ID before he realized it wasn't necessary. It's hard adjusting but ultimately I think we are all a lot happier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-22976036763526459562009-01-02T13:12:00.000-05:002009-01-02T13:12:00.000-05:00i'm all about self-improvement this year. i'm goin...i'm all about self-improvement this year. i'm going to be a little selfish, because a better me only leads to better friendships, marriage, job, and other areas of my life.AndreaLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947251123686458404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-41293260892748603742009-01-02T00:50:00.000-05:002009-01-02T00:50:00.000-05:00Count me in on the "just over two years before 40 ...Count me in on the "just over two years before 40 and working on myself" ladies !

He too has been molded and shaped into the man he is as the US Navy as a major influence. The uniform he wears is part of who he is and I am already asking God to take him through this transition:)<BR/><BR/>Your also right about our children...I see that as I will only have my oldest under my roof for only 7 more months. I plan to shift my focus with them to more quality time and enjoy the people that God is creting them to be....<BR/><BR/><BR/>Love you Ms Hope (and maybe when I run away to Mellie's when can all meet:))<BR/><BR/><BR/>Happy New Year!Jill AKA busymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960307068449979881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-88063876110904695702009-01-01T16:49:00.000-05:002009-01-01T16:49:00.000-05:00That's a fantastic attitude.

The challenge is to keep it up.
