If you missed the last episode, John failed out of S.U.R.T. school and needs to see a doctor about his knee. But with his return home we now have the chance to spend the holidays together as a family. Every time John comes home from weeks or months away it is always a transition for the whole family. The military calls this reintegration and it's different for every family. For myself I have gotten into a rhythm with my children. I have no days off and I go from school work with the kids, adventures, playing and working on KZitem. I don't get any reprieves, no brakes, and honestly I don't ever have time to watch TV or read my own book. John himself just spent weeks or months working in a sleep deprived state with little to no breaks as well. And when he comes home it takes awhile for both of us to recover and build a new rhythm within our family that we feel we are supporting each other, having fun, and being successful in our own roles. The first few days of John returning home is like an awkward dance. He wants to sleep and recover, but he also wants to jump back in with family. After some time the dance isn't awkward and builds momentum.
🪖 If you new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! #MilitaryFamilyVlog We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
