Day 87??

HAPPY BARAK OBAMA DAY!!
Ok so its been way too long I know...I can't even blame it on the holidays anymore...but I just have no time to collect my thoughts. Maybe i'm just motivated by the historical events of today, or maybe i just need to unwind. I'm so tired and can't find enough energy to recount the holidays online. With Ainslea's stomach anxiety, missing travis and trying to get back to a normal schedule has been draining. All i can really say is thank goodness for all my friends. I can honestly say if i didn't have the ability to vent and unwind in the comforts of friends both close and far away I might already be committed! I"ve had my ups and my downs and i may be having a competition with my neighbors as to whose kids can scream the loudest, but at the end of the day a 10 minute video conversation with Travis is the highlight of my day. Even though I can't share the extraordinary day's events side by side with him, I know he's just as proud to be an american from way over there as I am to be his wife way back home. We both have the hopes that the majority of this country has today that although things may take some time to turn around, the spirit of everyone is a good sign of things to come.....now if only i could convince Ainslea to eat her dinner without a fight!!!
