Happy Valentine's Day

I'm not a big lovey dovey person. If you ask anyone in my family they would say I hate affection and emotions. The truth is I'm just tapped out. Having little ones hanging on you all day really doesn't leave you in the mood to be affectionate. If you know what I mean. When I first got married we did celebrate it. Probably just because I wanted a gift. Now we just go out to dinner. Some years it's the whole family others just us two. But I'm gonna go out of my norm and try to be LOVEY DOVEY.


To my kids,
 "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY" I love you all the same just in different ways {i get asked who I love more all the time is it just me or does anyone else hate that question}. Don't ever forget you are loved!!!!

XOXO
MOM

To the HMIC,
Thanks for putting up with me and for loving me all these years. I will admit it here I am not the easiest to get along with. Thanks for being my Valentine and for making me feel like a princess. Even when I don't look or act like one. You have come a long way from not being able to afford to take me out. To now being able to afford it all. I LOVE YOU!!!

XOXO,
your wife


And to everyone else hope you spend your day with the ones you love.

New Beginnings

Lately I've been pretty distracted. Remember in my goals for this year I put a house well we're finally under contract for one. We've been looking for one for a while now. Finally we found one that would work for our family. One we can tweek and make it our own. It has been a little frustrating especially being that we're in California and the house is in Texas. But after 100 + pictures and alot of back and forth we went for it. There's not that many choices and this one was the best fit. I knew this day would come someday I just didn't know it would come this fast. Going back home after 18 years will be different. No more military life. No more deployments. No more moves. No more new schools. No more new friends. No more good byes. No more new homes. No more new area codes. All of this is coming to an end. This will be our last move. We are going HOME. My kids will now know what grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and family is all about. Am I ready? I'm not sure I really don't know how I feel about it all. We've been alone for such a long time it might take some getting use to. Not only is this chapter of our lives ending but the new chapter has lots of changes in it. Some of those changes make me very nervous and have caused alot of anxiety. But for now I will be happy that we are under contract. Hope this month goes by smoothly and not to many bumps with the financing. Let's keep are fingers crossed.



It needs major landscaping but this way we can customize it.

New Bundle of Joy

Brody Allan

My brother and his girlfriend welcomed this beautiful bundle of joy yesterday. Now both my siblings have a kid. My little brother is no longer little anymore. Yesterday I was happy and crying when I heard the news. I guess I kind of feel like he's my son too. He lived with me for a few years after high school. He's the baby of the family and now he has his own baby. Man I'm getting old.......
