Not really sure if anyone reads this or not, but if you do, I am so sorry! What can I say? yep, I totally suck at this!!! Maybe it's because I don't have anything interesting to say, or maybe it's because I feel like there's not much going on around here? IDK, but yeah. My blog needs work!!!!!
So, maybe you want an update??? Just in case, here goes! Andy graduated BCT in early December, with HONORS!!!! He was one of 20 honor graduates (out of about 250) and he was also one of 10 to receive a PROMOTION!!! I got to go on stage and pin him myself!!! (This is a military tradition, when an individual gets a promotion the Spouse gets to "pin" his new rank on). Proudest moment of my life so far!!! This moment was the first time we were face to face in 10 weeks, and it was AMAZING, to say the least!!!
Then, in the middle of December, we got to have Andy home for TWO WHOLE WEEKS!!! That might not sound like much to you, but believe me, to us it was a lifetime! Simply awesome getting to spend so much time together. It will never be forgotten!!! Of course, Christmas happened during those two weeks as well and that was great, but as far as I was concerned having my Soldier home for awhile was all that mattered! Pretty sure my kids would agree with that, since they acted totally surprised that Santa had come. "but I thought Daddy was our present?" PRICELESS!!!!!
Andy is back where he needs to be, in training and doing great. We have 15 more weeks ahead of us before we are off on our new adventure together! We can't wait!!!! Hopefully by April we will know exactly where that might be!!!! Watch for updates!!! (I will try to get better at this, I swear! one can't suck forever, right?)
what else? hmm..... Shelbie's birthday is coming up and she is just beside herself with excitement!!! I can't believe my little girl is turning EIGHT!!!! Holy schmoly how did that happen? A fabulous little girl party is in the works, pretty sure Mama is just as excited as Shelbie is!!!!
I have been trying very hard to use my time wisely while Andy is gone. Most of my focus is on school (4.0, thank you very much!) and controlling my OCD tendencies on cleaning the house. Who am I kidding? I don't control it at all this place sparkles 99% of the time! I just can't help it!!! The kids are growing like little weeds and they surprise and amaze me with their beautiful little minds every single day. I have been very impressed by how quickly and easily they adapted to Military Life. They seem to "get it". They don't take things for granted and they are genuinely kind and concerned for other people. They understand the sacrifices that the men and women in our Armed Forces make for our Freedom and the other day while we were at the airport we saw an Airman and Owen and Shelbie approached him and told him thanks for serving our country!!! He shook their hands and looked at me like, "really?" and I just looked on, beaming with pride. What a blessing these little people are to me!!!! I thank the Good Lord every day for sending them to me! Without them I just don't know where I would be!
Ok, ok, enough gushing for one post!!!! Hopefully I will get better at keeping up with this, here's to trying, anyway!
