The year started, much like the last few, with my husband's presence being very scarce. His boat was preparing to go to sea, looming inspections, high level Navy visits and testing. Lots of stress from that angle, but nothing we haven't experienced before. It is the Navy after all.
Early in the year Wyatt had surgery.
We had our first child with stitches.

Declan swallowed his sister's little diary keys, while my husband was gone.
My mom almost died in the hospital.

Toward the end of the summer my husband accidentally crushed his foot.
A week after hurting his foot, my husband sustained a TBI.
We lost a large chunk of my husband's paycheck each month abruptly, due to him going on Limited Duty because of his injury.
On Halloween, I broke my foot. The base of my 5th metatarsal to be exact.
Friends have faded away.
Our dryer died last week and has yet to be fixed.
And more... but I suppose this stuff was the most notable.
My husband's TBI has changed everything and has dominated most of our life the last 4 months. This is something we'll be dealing with for a very long time and we are accepting that. This last year has tested us many times. We have persevered and we will continue to persevere. We are strong and only get stronger.
I have an amazing family. My children are amazing. My husband is amazing. The small group of friends who have stuck around through the tough times are incredible. 2015 has to be better. It WILL be better. We don't know what this year will bring as far as my husband's career or his recovery, but I do know good things have to be coming our way. You have to have the rain, to get the rainbow. We're just waiting or our rainbow.
Our hearts are bigger.
Our hearts are more full.
We are grateful.
We are resilient.
We. Are. Resilient.
