Just thinking.. and man is there a lot to think about! Some time around 10 December of 2010 I will be getting out of the Army. The thought is REALYL nuts to me. Not that I have been imagining myself staying in the Army, but the fact that I am getting my resume and KSAs together, really makes it a reality. There is SO much to plan in the short 11 months that are ahead of me! Moving Kayla a few months after starting her first year of school, finding a job from the other side of the country, the traveling/ coordination for the move... It can really be a bit overwhelming.

On the job front, my plan is to start applying around May. I plan to apply for TONS of jobs. Apparently just getting my foot in the door is what needs to be my priority... even if its not in my ideal location. Once I get an idea of where I may be working, I will be able to get a handle on schools and daycares in the area. WOW... this all seems like so much.

Ok... deep breathe... lets remember why im doing this....

Ever wondered how sweet my daughter is?...

Tonight, after reading a few books. I told her to get ready for bed. Mykah was sleeping on the couch next to us. She says "wait mommy... I have to say Prayers for Mykah so the angels can watch over him." Yes... pure sweetness. :o)



She adores her brother. Usually a day doesn't pass that she isn't singing or talking to him. She makes up little songs with his name in them. Its cute.

And don't even get me started on how he looks at her. WOW! I don't think I have ever seen more love in the eyes of a baby. Truely a perfect pair.







Well... got homework to do. And a workout to do... and some Sex and the City to watch! haha
(also considering changing my URL... but don't know yet.)

Back in the swing. . .

I have got to get back in the swing of things. I have use to be so great about posting pictures and updates, but lately I just don't have it in me. I still TAKE pictures, but rarely do I post them to flickr any more. And when was the last time I actually did an update on either child? I guess now that I have 2 children, and am still in school and still working I just don't force myself to find the time. That really has to change. There are so many little things that I REALLY don't want to forget.

Got to get bck in it!...

Thinking more about using this site again.

Well, we all know flickr has been like my second home! Most of our lives have been documented there. For some reason uploading videos has been a pain lately. Looking for other options for our videos cause im sure everyone is wanting to see those as much as pictures.

So, lets see how this site works with uploading videos. Will try more later. Just wanting to see how this does. :o)

We had a great weekend

While I contemplate picking this blog back up… figured I would work on linking my blog and my flickr… to make this a little easier. Let’s see how this works.

just about three years later

It has been so long since I have blogged here. I have read through it and kinda miss this thing! Since I have joined flickr I have spent most of my time putting pictures there and leaving tid-bits of my life there. Kinda debating whether I should pick this back up...
