Almost, for so many things

Lets start with its been almost 6 months since this deployment ended (exactly 6 months tomorrow). I still can't believe that at this time last year we were only 6 months into the stupid thing. It has been an interesting 6 months. My husband and I have both not found jobs yet, although I think both of us have fully enjoyed all of our family time together. But I think we are both ready for find something solid for all of us and to get back to reality, because as much as we would love to stay home with our son every day, we are not rich. Speaking of jobs, the hubby has an interview, starts in about 10 minutes. Hopefully next week we will find something out about it. There are a few other things that could be happening for jobs for him...but you know the Army, hurry up and wait. I applied for another job last week but I'm not holding my breath. It really sucks that after 4 years of college I still can't find a decent job. If the husband gets this job he will be looking into going to college as well. So please cross your fingers for him/us. It's almost time for our little man's birthday party! It's tomorrow. And let me tell you. I totally overdid it. I invited too many people. But, it's ok, or at least thats how I'm trying to justify it, he is our first kid. We have to celebrate his first year of life and our first year making it as parents. We got him this cool radio flyer 4-in-1 tricycle thingy. I am so excited for him to sit in it and take walks with him in it. His real birthday isn't until Tuesday so we will also go out to eat that night, sans hubby. Even though we aren't on deployment anymore the hubby still has Army stuff to do. Of course he has to leave for a week and miss our little guy's first birthday. But he did get to see him take his first real steps! Thank goodness it happened this week. Of course I was out running trying to get food for the party so I missed those steps, but it's ok. I guess that's all of the almost stuff for us right now.
