It's Always Better When We're Together

We can't be more grateful for the fact that we live in this beautiful country, that  we have been living together for over a year now (no deployment!) and that we even get to work together--in the same building (I'm on the first floor, he's on the second)!  This means that we get to do a lot together...take Sina to school, have lunches (when time allows) together, pick Sina up from school and then do our grocery shopping together afterwards.  We even give Sina baths, read her bedtime stories, and put her to bed together. 

Together.

This will be our second Thanksgiving together in a row, which means that we're on a roll.  The year before last, I was in Kuwait and Malu was mobilizing for another deployment.  The year before that, I was in Colorado with family and Malu was deployed.

Today, I am so thankful for my husband, Vaimalu.

He's a fantastic father, provides for and protects our family, and is truly my best friend.  I am thankful for him everyday but this evening, as I watched him serenade Vaiosina as she took her bath, I couldn't help but think that there is so much love in our home and we couldn't be more blessed.

I also realize that this particular setting may be unconventional to some.  I mean, who serenades babies while they are in the bath tub, right?  He does and does it so well.  Apparently, Sina thinks so too.  She just sits there and bobs her head and sways her body to the music.

What lucky girls we are!

I'm savoring every moment we have the opportunity to share.  With another deployment looming on the horizon, we have to make every moment count!

Thanks Malu for all that you are and all that you do.  I love you!

One more day in the work week...yeah!
