Merry Christmas from @thewoomers in Japan! Here’s our first #gopro video that Hudson put together! The amount of times we thought we were taking a photo vs. video was hilarious so enjoy our ignorance here 🎄✌🏼🥰 🇯🇵 (at Tokyo, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brx784uA15-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k4bu5da73bnu

Happy Birthday to the best mama a girl could have! 💕🎂🎉 I love you so much and I am so thankful for you every single day! You are the most compassionate and loving person I know. Your heart is bigger than this world. You are beautiful inside and out! Thank you for being my best friend. I have no idea what I’d do without you, but I am so grateful God blessed me with you as my mom. I love and miss you so much. I wish I could spend today with you going to middleburg, watching all of our favorite Christmas movies, and hanging out with Bella. I hope you have the best birthday ❤️ Te quiero mucho mama. I can never express how truly thankful I am for you 🥰 (at Charlottesville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrH2y0uAv5X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wdb7ayj87c6z

|| The more you perceive God’s purpose in your life, the less terrible the losses seem 🦋 || • • • • • • The truth is, a lot of what we want or do doesn’t really matter. Our life is so short in the view of eternity that we cannot live for ourselves. What good would it be if we lived selfishly for a measly 70-80 years? Our life is not about us, but rather something (someone!) so much more than we could ever imagine. So put off the old selfish self and accept the new and unknown. Expect the uncomfortable. It just might be a whole lot greater than you could ever imagine. (at Haleiwa, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpy2AyyAkcc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cqy8to6kxni3

I know this isn’t the best picture and yes I was that crazy person running around the wedding on my phone, but it was for a good reason. I also cannot express how happy this photo makes me and I legit start tearing up anytime I look at it. I hate that you’re missing out on these memories babe and I wish I could say this was the only time this would happen, but I’m thankful we got to “include you” for a little bit. Even though the cell service sucked and it was hard to hear you, I’m thankful that technology worked after 16 failed ft calls. Congratulations Sterling and Keela! You know Hudson would’ve been there in person if he could ❤️ #thanksemma #deploymentsucks #mymarine #missingmyperson https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo8o4kjAGvq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1unetgvce89l3

You’re one of the few constants I have in this ever changing life. Thanks for being my best friend amidst all the challenges that come our way. Maybe one day we’ll be able to spend more than a couple months together. Three months since this day seems like a lifetime ago 🖤 Love you https://www.instagram.com/p/BopT2Wzg6wg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ct2xx5rql44w

The first month is always the hardest. Glad I’m past the “hard” part. Miss you like crazy, Hudson 💛 One month down, too many to go... #deploymentsucks #mymarine #comehome (at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BomUgkAgp4M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=38ksjrfkz8qg

THE SUMMERTIME SADNESS IS REAL. Hudson left today on deployment numero dos and I’m not a fan... surprise surprise. Here’s to hoping the next six months fly by 👋🏼 ✈️ The clock starts yet again.

Until last week, Hudson had only been to the desert of California... And thought that’s all California had to offer 🙈 I wondered whether it was smart or not to burst that bubble, but ultimately I could not stay away (nor keep him from) from the beaches and beauty of SoCal. All in all, he embraced it and we’ve decided to never go anywhere else ever. Dear Marine Corps, would you mind moving all our stuff to La Jolla? K thanks, bye ✌🏼 #wishfulthinking (at Balboa Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWrxYrHzPC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s615jbju3od7
