life is good...

Hello there,

    I just had my drill this weekend. It was only 2 days this time not to bad. Well while I was there I found out we had not 1 but 4 AT's this year. If you do not know what AT is that is the 2 weeks in the summer that you are suppose to do. Well my unit has 4 schedules this year they are spread out through the year not to bad but geez. I signed up for the 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks a year in the summer. Hey I will get paid good money for those 4 AT's so I can not complain much.

    Okay enough with my whoa is me. Weston has a little toofer coming in on the bottom gum. This will be his first tooth he is almost 9 months old getting his first tooth. EEK I am excited and sad. I am sad cause he will not have a toothless smile anymore. I think those are the cutest ones. He will still be cute with his one little tooth. Zoei is turning 5 this month! I can not believe it. Where has the time gone? This will be her first actual party that we have been able to put together for her where there are friends and family. I am excited for her and she is excited to.

    Right now I am relaxing on the back porch watching and listening to Josh, our friend Jason, and Zoei play in the pool. I had to get out to feed and lay weston down. I decided not to get back in cause it would be too much to put my swim suit back on. I am fine listening to them and the music playing while having an orange juice and rum. Weston is sleeping he looks so peaceful through his monitor.

    I am so blessed with such amazing friends and awesome family. I couldn't have asked for anything better. My life is going pretty good right now.

Update.

    The garden we were hoping to start didn't work out. I think I shocked them and put them in the sun to early and they did not make it. Lesson learned we plan to start over. I still have seeds left over from when we planted those. I am dead set on trying again and really want it to work out for us. I would love to be able to harvest fresh organic fruits and veggies from our own garden instead of buying them from the grocery store. 

    It is that time I have to go to my 2 week drill. I am not ready for this. This will be the longest I have been away from Weston since he was born. This is going to be so hard on me and my wonderful husband who will be the one watching both children while I am gone. I am really missing being active duty. I NEVER thought I would say that but it is true. I am not liking the guard. I thought it would help us by switching to guard but I was wrong it doesn't help as much as I thought it would. 

    I could not be happier with my 2 beautiful children. I am so in love with them. Seeing them love each other so much just melts my heart. I was blessed with 2 amazing human beings that I can call mine. Well ours cause if it wasn't for my husband I wouldn't have them. It is so crazy how much of a bond Zoei and Weston have. I am very glad I waited until Zo was 4 years old to have Weston. She is so loving and helpful. She loves playing with her brother and singing to him. i could not have asked for better babies. 

    I can not believe that this little man is 7 months already I have no idea where time has gone.

 This little girl is almost 5 years old I can not believe it either. Time has flown with her. I miss her being a baby but i am doing my best to cherish every moment with her and Weston.

    This post is kind of all over the place. It was kind of a random post since I haven't been on much lately. I hope I can get better about this.

Hello,

     I am unsure if anyone is actually reading this but I will continue to write and hope that some one will read and relate to me. I am in the process of getting out of the Army to go back to school to get a science degree. I figure that since I am am getting out I might as well go back to school and also be a mom again. I didn;t want to miss out on baby Weston's growing up so I decided that I would get out it would be better for my little family for me to get out and focus on our family and my education. I didn't miss out on Zoei's growing up and thought it wouldn't be fair if I missed out on baby Weston's. My husband is supporting me with this choice which is great I Have such an amazing and supporting husband. Through this process I have people asking why I am doing this and telling me that I am lossing money by getting out. Thank you for telling me but I have thought this all out not only that but my husband and I have sat down and actually talked it through and realized that we would be okay with me getting out financially and also emotionally. Yes I lose my pay check but I also gain the fact that they will be paying for me to go to school. I will still have medical to cover my family. I would love  it if people didn't jump to conclusions and let me worry about my family and our hardship that they know absolutely nothing about.

Sorry about that I have just been frustrated about the whole situation. On a better note I have about 2 months left in the Army. I have about 3 months left until baby Weston is born. We are going to be going on a little family vacation near the end of July to Arlington to go to Great Wolf Lodge and Six Flags. Zoei is going to love it. I can not wait this trip is much needed. I hope y'all are having a better start to the month than I am! =) We have a baby apt on the 8th I am excited I love hearing baby Weston's heartbeat. Oh yea we got an ultrasound done the other day and he looks like Zoei when she was still in the womb. It is really cute! This post is kind of all over the place.
