Jason's appointment and more :)

Today was the day that we took Jason down to San Diego to see the audiologist for his hearing screen. It took us an hour and a half to get there, when usually it takes about 35 minutes..traffic was horrible this morning and we were stuck in traffic for quite awhile. When we got there, it took us about a half hour to even get in. During that time, I saw plenty of patients come and go and I realized how thankful I am that Jason doesn't have horrible problems like some have to go through. It hurt my heart to see some of those children. When Jason got called back, he wasn't bashful at all and did fantastic with all they needed him to do. He ended up passing all of the hearing tests (which I knew he would) and we are approved for 50 visits of speech therapy..but we won't be able to use them because our insurance will be up April 15th and we would have to go through the whole process to get approved once we got to Indiana anyways, so there wouldn't be enough time. Jason talks a lot, he just doesn't talk as much as he should, BUT I think he is learning more everyday..so I think he was just a little delayed on that. We are just gonna work as much as we can on it and keep on a certain schedule with it.

As time is getting closer for us to move...I realize that this journey with Ben being in the military has been an exciting one. We have had great experiences and we have had horrible experiences. The good outweigh the bad of course. We got married during this experience, said goodbye way too many times for him to leave.. but thankfully he has only had one deployment and made it home safe to meet his son. Having Jason alone wasn't ideal and we will never get that family moment in the hospital like most people do, but I'm thankful for all the family moments we have had and the many more to come. I'm completely thankful that Benjamin was able to come back to us from his deployment safe. A lot of women (and men) are not as lucky as we were and will never get their spouse/parent back...and my heart goes out to all of those people. After seeing what some people have to go through, I feel ashamed for ever being upset that I had to do things on my own for awhile and I hate that I've gotten jealous of others when they would have their husbands their for the birth of their kids. I am just ready for this journey to end and a new one to begin. It's going to be very hard after being so used to out here. I love our insurance so much and it's going to be difficult to adjust to one outside of the military, but if everyone else can do it, so can we. We are staying positive and staying on track with our lives and are excited for this new journey.

We will be San Francisco bound tomorrow and I am super excited! I have wanted to go ever since we have been out here, but I am glad that we waited until we had Jason and now Jason is a little older, so maybe he will have a little bit of fun! All we have planned so far is Alcatraz and seeing the Golden Gate Bridge so far.. so maybe I should get on to figuring out what else we will be doing!

I have started selling Scentsy and was super excited to start..but it has not been going as well as I had hoped yet.. BUT I am also not back in Indiana yet, where a lot of my stuff has been shipped to and I will be able to do better once I can throw parties and let people actually see the warmers and smell the scents.

I just have to say..this moving process sucks! It's so hard to pack with a 2 year old. I am over packing already and just want to snap my fingers and be in Indiana. If only, huh? lol. It feels soooo far away, but it's just around the corner. :)
