So I'm sure everyone that could potentially come across my blog has already been immersed into the day to day countdown I have been keeping until Sean comes home. Today marks one week from the day he will leave Afghanistan. It has been a long and life changing 6 months. Which brings me to the name of my blog, With Love From Afghanistan, I have a love/hate relationship with this war-ridden country. Many of you probably don't know that 6 months ago I was ready to let the best man to ever come into my life walk right out and never look back. Lucky for us, Afghanistan happened and Sean deployed for 6 months. Although I'd have to say 6 months apart has been overkill, without the separation I'm not sure we'd be where we are today. I can't imagine spending one more day without this man in my life. If soul mates do exist then I now know that there is no one more perfect in this world for me than him. This is going to be the best year of my life, I can just feel it, so I thought it an appropriate time to start a blog. So welcome to my life, the ups, the downs and all the craziness in-between.

In an effort to be more health conscious and limit my dessert intake, Izzy (my 2 year old genius of a niece/goddaughter) and I decided to make homemade pumpkin muffins. She had a blast and probably reduced the amount of muffins we made by half bc she ate so much batter before we could even cook them! Who knew a 2 year old would be such a fan of low fat pumpkin muffins? She even shared them with Lola. She kept putting batter on her face and having "Lola beanie" as she calls her, lick it off. Perfect ending to a pretty hectic Monday.
