Almost forgot but only for a second

Here are the pics from Reis' first haircut. We passed through Auntie Sarah's on our way to St. Pete so he could get a little trim. I didn't want to do it, but it was all in his ears and eyes.

Thank you

Just wanted to say thank you for all the comments. It's nice to be able to ramble and have a little feedback. Life is so weird sometimes and crazy...I don't understand. My dad has moved some of his stuff out and is staying with his mom. To think about that makes me sad. I tell myself that maybe this is necessary and might help in the long run. One can only hope. Anyway, thank you. Hopefully my blogs will get a little more cheerful and not so freakin depressing...sorry:(

A glimpse at my soul...my heart is hurting

I probably will get this off my chest and then take it down...not sure if I should air all our business but writing this helps me. I am in a daze and hurting so bad because my parents have decided to separate for a while...divorce hasn't come up and I'm taking all the positives I can at the moment. To be on the phone and listen to your father crying and hysterical doesn't make for a good Sunday. It's the same way with my mom, but dad is taking it MUCH harder. I hate it all and am just kind of in a blurred state. Lots of prayer is needed.

Still here

I am still kicking. We finally got our place and moved in. The movers decided to show up last night at 10:30 when they called and were supposedly on their way at 10:30 that morning. They left this morning at 3:30 and I woke up around 8 to the sound of fire alarm tests in our building. Needless to say, I am exhausted and there is crap everywhere! At least my clothes are in my closet and the frig is full...and I have some wine. Will blog more when I don't feel like I have been ran over.

Virginia Friends

All of these pictures were taken with my cell phone so I am sorry if they aren't the best. Just thought I'd blog about some friends I have met here and enjoyed so much. Lyndon and Myriah below are Jason and Renee's two kiddies who we have come to know and love. I have learned a lot being a first time mother and watching Renee. She was always there to answer my dumb questions and would babysit at a moment's notice while trying to handle her 2 little ones. I had to post the pic of Brian in his kilt because it makes me laugh every time I look at it. You never know what Brian is going to have on when we decide to bbq and hang by the fire pit. He and his wife, Sarah, are like the modern day Brady bunch with 9 kids....yes, I said 9 kids. She had 3, he had 3, and then they had 3 together. I don't know how they do it but she seems pretty composed every time I see her. She has patience like no other. The picture of us girls Sarah, Renee, and myself screams military because we all showed up in our husband's jackets and looked like the 3 amigos....warmth over fashion is what I told myself. I wish them all the best and give them kudos for being able to live the military life for as long as they have...will miss them!

Bed Head

I can't believe how long his hair has gotten. He keeps messing with his ears because it hangs all on them. It is the cutest thing and I don't want to cut it and won't for a while....maybe just a little trim for his ears:) Brutus has started to come around and has finally figured out that Reis isn't just here for a visit and might as well get used to him. So, they play and have become buddies.

One week from today and we leave Virginia. I can't believe it has been 2 years. It seems like it was not so long ago that I was telling everyone that we will be back before you know it. It's finally here!!! I didn't think military life would be depressing but it kind of has been. I have now figured out possibly why people just aren't so friendly. If I knew my life was up in the air and never knew my next duty station, I guess I might be a little bitchy myself. I have made some good friends and it always seems like you get close right before having to leave. So, I am making the most of this week to have fun and hang out. Maybe my next blog will be one about them?

Ahhnold

Here's our picture from the fundraiser a couple of months ago. Thought it turned out okay although we are all looking at different cameras....oh well. At least we got a pic!

I am feeling a little better today. I went to the Dr. yesterday and she said I had no thyroid problems and was perfectly healthy...even my liver. That came as a shock after 5 years in college...lol. I am still confused as to why I am feeling this way, but I guess I can't complain if I got a clean bill of health. Maybe it's just the stress of moving and everything I know we have to get done in the next 2 weeks. I am hoping it wears off...I need to feel like me again.
