Cats outta the bag!

For some time now Thayn and I have decided we didn't want to re enlist to stay in the military. It was great while it lasted but its just not for us. I am personally stoked about this decision as well as nervous, scared, and worried. But i know that we have eachother and we can get through anything. The army life just isnt for us and im glad we made a decision that makes us both happier. Its not the life we want to raise Marcus in. It is hard on Thayn to deploy and its hard on me as well! He cant imagine leaving both of us now and more kids to come in the future. The army has been good for us but its time to go home. Everyone is worried about us getting jobs and having insurance and now with a baby on the way its a scary thought and we have a lot we have to do before we get home. We have thought long and hard about this.. even wrote the pro's and con's. But no matter what we have made the decision and its official, well not completley official. He has some things he has to do before he is out of the military and we also have a little under a year here left in Hawaii. It has made us both happier and we both cannot wait to go home. Things will be hard and tight for a while, but that is ok. No matter what we do in life we are going to have struggles but this one seems like the right one and we are happy to make a new journey in our life. I am estatic that Marcus will be around his grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and so much more! He will be surrounded by his family and that is what we want too. We mis home and i cant wait to be there next year. Thayn is thrilled with this decision as well. He cant wait to be home with his family and to be able to take Marcus camping, and fishing. He is so happy and it makes me happy. I dont think i said happy enough in the blog post. :)

I am just thankful that we have eachother, we can get through it all. I am thankful for Marcus too. He brightens our day every day and he isnt even here yet. Life is not always easy but the people you have in it tend to make it a lot easier. :)

  1. I think you, Tiko, and M'er will be happy with the choice you have made. Don't let anyone get you down, it's what you two have decided is best for YOU TWO. No one else matters. You know you have the support of your family and friends, and that will help you get through the rough times ahead. I can't wait to see M'er raised in an environment where he won't just be around you and Tiko, but around ALL of his family. I'm so happy for you three and I'm glad you have included me in your lives.

I know its a hard thing to decide... but being selfish right now... its the right one cause I want nothing more than for you guys to be back with the family! things just arent the same at family parties and dinners... or even just hanging out. Im excited to be able to be around my (soon) new nephew. It will be easier to spoil! You have everyone here that will help with anything you guys need. Lovers you guys! :)
