Happy Holidays?

The military has such a great way to make your holidays happy and festive. The command list officially came out just after Christmas and on it was his deployment next summer. And although we expected it (hubby actually asked for this one) and knew it was coming somehow I was able to not think about it too seriously. That is until it was official. I kept thinking how next Christmas will be totally different without my husband and wondered how the kid would keep up our family traditions without dad. So I was a little sad during the holidays. But I'm over it. Can't be sad too long- life goes on. And we DID have a good Christmas!
