Ryan and Christy's Place

It's been so long, I almost forgot how to post! Does anyone still read this?

I feel as if some sort of "closure" is in order. We are obviously not posting as much as we used to -- and I hate to just leave our blog out there in cyberspace, dangling around with our last entry being about getting our dog. (Not that we don't love our dog.)

We're together now. Life's better. And I'd blog more, but entries about dirty dishes are hardly as compelling as entries on oh, IEDs, being away from home or thinking about stealing strawberry jam from the grocery store in a fit of rage. We've dealt with post-deployment issues -- everyone does -- but since we have each other to talk to every day, live and in person, the result is naturally less blogging.

I'd like to resume more eventually. I'd like to keep the blog -- I hope it doesn't ever disappear on me. (And Steve wouldn't do that ... right? Haha.) I read old entries from time to time, and they still make me cry. Maybe someone doing a Google search will find this site and read it, and maybe it will help them, even though my time in a deployment is over. That's still my hope. That's what this whole thing was for. To help me, to help Ryan, to help others, to meet others. It's a big world, but it's small, too.

Love you guys. We'll still be around. :)

P.S. Go wish Erika a happy wedding!
