The Coombs Family

My wonderful husband just had a birthday, and this time I think we celebrated it perfectly. I didn't buy him a gift, and not for lack of effort. I tried to buy him a bullet proof vest to be very safe for his tactical shooting class he is taking soon. Well, I am not allowed to buy that unless he is law enforcement. I tried to argue, but it didn't happen. So he got to open no gifts from me, and he didn't care at all. In fact he asked me if he could take his birthday money and Christmas money he got from his grandparents and buy me a bow. I've recently got a taste of archery and I LOVE IT! I had no idea it was so fun to play Hunger Games all day, but holy cow- it is fun! We took our kids to my parents house the night before his birthday because my parents were watching my sisters kids for her anniversary trip. Once you already have her five kids, my two just blend in and they hardly notice. Ok that's a lie. My kids are much more demanding but her kids help balanc

We have 5 new resolutions this year, and I am documenting them to see if we can make it. 1. Home for good! Caleb needs to sleep in his own bed, at his own house, and get a job in town. It's been over two years now that he spends the week away from his family and I'm over it. Done. I have threatened to move to Roseburg and sell our house, but anybody who knows me knows that's an empty threat if there ever was one. I think Salem is too small, so Roseburg is pretty much out of the question. Caleb no longer works in Medford, but he is still gone the same amount of time. I am tired of having weird noises at night frighten me, running with my kids in the jogging stroller that now weighs 120 pounds, crawling into a cold bed, and doing family prayers without him. He has had many possible opportunities that have not worked out, but it appears he has a real one now and will be home in February. Crossing my fingers on this one, and my toes! Please come home Dr. Coombs. We need you!
