Challenges

So life has certainly been a challenge while Adam is away. I miss him everyday still and wish so much that he could be here with me. It seems since he has been gone that there has been one challenge after another around here. Of course dog behavior has been a big one. I have had to muzzle Buster while at the dog park now. I recently got him a shock collar so will try to be training him with that. The dogs also decided to learn how to jump over the fence of the backyard so now I am planning on installing an electric fence.
Besides dealing with dogs I have been substituting a lot. I had 5th grade all week long and will do science lab at the same school next week. I'm glad for the steady work and hope it continues after the new year. I have also joined a gym and hoping to drop some weight and get better in shape before Adam comes home so we can go backpacking and hiking on our weekends.
Adam is currently up for orders and it's looking like if he doesn't get to be a survival training instructor then we will be moving to Ventura county in the middle of next year. Hopefully I will be able to find a teaching position there if we do end up moving.
Anyways, with the holidays surrounding me I can but wish for Adam's presence, I have this overwhelming feeling of sadness at least once a day where I wish he could be here more than anything. I will just be glad when he is home safe and sound next year and we can spend at least the next 3 years together without a deployment!
