Week 9 DONE!

Deployment Recap:

Emotional: I'm doing quite well- stress of the holidays is over and I finally heard from Lyle!!!!! 

Physical: I was incredibly lazy the past week when I was in Spokane. It was beyond cold and snowy outside and I used every excuse I could to stay curled up on the couch with warm blankets. I did finally go running today now that I'm back on the Island- it felt good and I have some big plans in the works for 2013. 

Communication: YES! We finally got emails, phone calls and even some Skype/FaceTime. The boat pulled into a port and it was such a huge relief to hear from Lyle again. 

Something Fun You did This week: Hung out with my family and friends in Spokane. 

What are you looking forward to next week: Getting back into a good, healthy, more relaxed routine. 

What made you happy this week: Hearing from Lyle was huge! And of course seeing my mom and sisters and spending a lot of time with them. It was so great to relax and be with those that I love. 

What made you sad/mad this week: Not a darn thing. 

What do you miss this week: I still miss Lyle, seeing him is great but it only makes me want him home. 

Favorite song/show/movie of the moment: Lots of new music thanks to the Satellite Radio in my mom's SUV- Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood, True Romance by Citizens, Forest Whitaker by Bad Books, Symptoms by Atlas Genius.
