About Me

My photo
I'm Coralyn, a Californian native. I am mother to a crazy 4 year old girl named Madison, a baby on the way, and a wrinkly Shar-pei. My husband is in the Army and we have moved from California to Hawaii and from Hawaii to beautiful Colorado. I'm a stay at home mom and student/art major. I love painting and drawing and hope to share some of these things with you throughout my blog along with other random moments in my life.

What was I thinking?

It's been difficult to blog lately because how hectic life has been. Since my husband left I been pretty depressed, and who wants to blog when they're depressed?

I've decided that moving back to California from Hawaii was a horrible idea. Why on earth did I leave HAWAII of all places to come back home? I think during all the stress I wasn't thinking clearly, and in no way was I aware of what moving back home truly meant for me. I have learned a valuable life lesson; never look back, only move forward. There is nothing left in my home town for me. Sure, it's nice to visit family and old friends, but honestly, what was I thinking moving back here? I miss my independence, my home, and transitioning with my child has been difficult. I can value this experience in the future when I am feeling homesick. There's a saying that my husband once told me that goes "you always miss where you've been, hate where you are, and can't wait to get to where you're going" and it's completely true.

What's done is done, and I am just join to have to stick it out. Only a few more months to go and my family will be reunited again. I will no longer have to wonder if my husband is safe where he is and that peace of mind alone is something I will treasure and never take for granted again; home is where he is.
