work hard...play harder

it's officially October. which means the to do list is in full swing. i only have like a couple weeks left until the hubby ships out, and of course like any good wife, i have a list of things i want to get done before he leaves us for about 6 months. there are the tedious things like going through storage to find my winter clothes/lost maternity clothes, as well as organizing storage for the movers, getting our room set up for the new baby, getting everything he needs for bct/ait...etc. but then there is the list of sweet/fun stuff i want to get done before he leaves. this includes stuff like, making a few videos of him saying "hi" for our daughter to watch while he's gone, making a recording of his voice so i can play it on my belly every night for the new baby, a couple of family movie nights, we have to hit up a pumpkin patch, throw a few more park days in there, and of course take family pictures! that seems like a lot to get done in just a couple weeks...but being the planning queen i am, i'll make it happen! thankfully my hubby is on board with all of this. he told me he's enjoying every second he gets to spend with us since very shortly he will be away from us for so long. i have to say, i'm excited for this new chapter in our lives to begin, but the closer it gets to his ship out date, the more i realize just how much i'm going to miss him...that's why i want to make as many happy memories as we can before he leaves, so my daughter and i have those memories to hold onto while he's away.
