Amazing news I need to share....

So I am very excited to announce that after 3 years of trying and two rounds of infertility medications, we are finally going to be able to welcome a new member to The Combs family in 2012!!! My husband and I are so excited that God has chosen this time for us. In saying that, it is somewhat bittersweet with my husband deploying to the Middle East in a week. I know that this is going to make things trying but we will have a wonderful new addition to the family when its all over. We are keeping out fingers crossed that he will at least be able to be home for the birth if nothing else. We are lucky to have a great unit here and so it should be no problem, as long as something doesn't come up.

Here goes nothing....

So as my family and I are looking into the face of yet another deployment I was thinking of ways to make this one go smoother then the last one. It came to mind to start a blog. This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time but just haven't had to time to do it. After two moves across the country (the first one to Texas from Indiana, where I'm from and then to Washington state) I have thought to myself this is probably the easiest way to stay in touch with my friends and family that are all over the world as well as to keep my husband in the loop of day to day life as he travels thousands of miles away to defend our freedom.
