The Past 3 years

The Past 3 years:
- Jeremy left January 14, 2009 and I got him back May 14, 2009
- We moved June 8, 2009 to El Paso, Texas with a Uhaul truck, my car, 2 kids, and a dog
- Found that we were expecting
- And then lost the baby
- Decided to let God take control and then were blessed again August 14, 2009
- Announced our pregnancy to our families
- Visited my grandparents in Nebraska and broke down in Liberal, Kansas
- My awesome daddy bought us a new car
- In September I found out that I had 2 clotting disorders and was put on Lovenox, blood thinners.
- Celebrated Halloween with a kitty cat for a kid
- Got to spend Thanksgiving with my parents
- In December, we found out that we were having a baby boy
- Visited Roswell, New Mexico a month before Keylan was due
- Keylan was born April 16, 2010 and our world changed =)
- Spent 6 days in the NICU, though he was full term, that was the hardest thing that I have, okay almost the hardest thing, been through
- My incision opened and wore a woundvac for 6 weeks with a toddler, a newborn, and a husband in the field.
- The first 2 months were really rough, Keylan was on a very strict feeding schedule with hundreds of tests done and in the end he was put in the hospital (dx: failure to thrive)
- Found out that he basically has fast metabolism with acid reflux
- My little girl turned 3 and we went to the circus for the first time.
- Celebrated the holidays
- Then in February we got to know a wonderful person who is a strong woman and awesome mommy (Nikki =) )
- Went to Albuquerque, New Mexico
- Celebrated two awesome little boys 1st birthdays in April
- Jeremy went to NTC and started preparing to deploy.
- August 7, 2011 we lost an amazing woman that will NEVER be forgotten. We miss granny everyday and I talk to her often.
- September we literally had 5 different deployment days; Granny had other plans though. 6 days before the last deployment day Jeremy had to have surgery to have his appendix removed. Simple surgery, but still really scary.
- Enjoyed the holidays with each other and with our families at Christmas.
- We got home from visiting in December to get in the car the next day. My daddy had a massive heart attack and at that very moment did not know if he would make it. Thankfully, he pulled through amazingly.
- It has been a slow few months, but we are starting to pack our tiny apartment up and get ready to load up a UHAUL and head back to Alabama.


I write all that out and could go into detail about everything. It amazes me just how much stuff happens in your life in one place in just a few years. I started thinking and crying while I cleaned our bedroom yesterday. Keylan has slept in that room, every night that he has been alive and here. I have always had my little boy just a few feet away and now he is about to have his own big boy room.
