The countdown is almost over!!

We here in the Sedillo household are in our homestretch of our countdown. So excited to be together again! So much has happened while Jonathan has been gone. We moved in to our new house on Kadena. With a few bumps in the road we've managed to successfully accomplish the move. I am still unpacking but once I get some help with big things from Jonathan unpacking should be easy and smooth.

A few days after I fully moved in to the house I rolled my right ankle twice trying to get off the couch. That landed me in the ER with a severely sprained ankle and one roll away from a broken ankle. I was discharged from the hospital unable to drive with crutches and a wrapped ankle. My 1st thought is how the hell am I gonna take care of baby girl while on crutches?! I was able to talk to Jonathan on fb when I got home and just about had a breakdown trying to figure out what I was gonna do til he got home. Thanks to him I was able to have help come over to the house during the day and help me with tasks. The help was amazing! Martha was the one who came over and since then I think our little ones have been best friends! :) Eva, her daughter, calls Abby 'baby habby'. It's too cute. :) Its always nice when they come over. Abs gets entertained by Eva and I can chat with Martha and our apartment isn't so quiet. Well since my injury I have just recently started driving again, I can bare weight on my ankle, AND I'm down to one crutch. I'm hoping to just have a limp when Jonathan comes home. Also since my trip to the ER we finally got my car back to the house today so it's not on Lester.

Abs has been her crazy self since Jonathan left. She is not eating 6 - 8 oz bottles and has just recently started baby food. (which has been confusing since I don't know how to fit it in her schedule just yet) Abs has perfected rolling over from back to front. Its so great to see her rolling over now. :) She has become more vocal and will somewhat talk to herself. She has also become a laughing machine. I can't wait to see Abs reaction when she sees her Daddy again. She really misses him.

I'm hoping that everything goes perfect when Jonathan comes home. Abs and i have been waiting for this day for a while. I know its not a short period of time but it seems like forever since this is the first time Jonathan has been gone from Abigail. Poor baby girl has had a hard time with him being gone. I can't wait to see her smile when she sees her daddy. :)

Well I;m gonna hop of of here and I will probably update after Jonathan gets home. I'll post pictures if I can snap some. Until then we love you all! <3

Sitting Waiting Wishing

So I had been dreading the arrival of June and July for a while and now that June has left July is here I'm just wishing the time would fly by. Most of you guys, if not all of you, know that we have been in Okinawa since May of 2010. Since then I have been struggling on and off with homesickness. Well, I knew that these two months were gonna be a hard month to deal with. My baby sister was graduating and was turning 18, many of my friends where going home for visits and I was stuck in Okinawa sitting by my waiting for pictures from a lot of the happenings. I spent days crying and looking at some of the pictures that had been posted on Facebook wishing I could be at home to participate in the Graduation parties and whatnot. As the days passed it got a bit easier until we found out that we had to prepare for Jonathan to be gone for a bit and while he'd be gone I'd have to move myself from our apartment on Kinser to our new house on Kadena. Luckily with the short amount of time I had to move and the last minute notice I had people who helped me move. Now I'm sitting here in my new place and I only have the kitchen unpacked and some laundry washed. I keep reminding myself not to get overwhelmed and Jonathan will be home school. I have to say if it weren't for friends here on island I'd probably go insane. We still have a ways to go til he comes home but we are looking forward to having him home. Poor baby girl is really missing her Daddy. I think she's still expecting him to come home after work. Everyday gets easier which is good but she still has those days where she only wants her Daddy and it kills me. I know she's ready for him to come home. I'm taking it day by day. I'm used to this more than Abs but seeing her having a hard time and seeing her do stuff that Jonathan is missing out on is heartbreaking at times. Again this isn't a permanent thing so he WILL be home and it'll be nice to have him here. I know he misses us and he has two people here in Okinawa that miss him just as much maybe more.
