Getting in the Army

Well here's how it happened, the parents decided to get in the Army, then when we got to the recruiting office some one forgot to send one of his papers. So he had to fill it out again I think, I don't know I wasn't in there. So then we waited a few days and tried again this time they had all the papers so me Momma and and "the other two" went down to Florida for a few months then as we were about to be in the Army they messed up his papers again! so we waited in Florida a few more months then we were finally in the Army. So we went and picked up G.I.Jack and we started the eight-teen hour drive from Florida to Texas. We had made a hotel reservation in Texarkana. Apparently we made our reservation for the Texas side of town but when we got we went to the Arkansas side and when we got there they said they didn't have any reservations under our name so they asked us if we asked for our reservation on the Texas side we said yes and they said we were on the Arkansas side. So we drove to the other side and checked in. we stayed up a few hours watching T.V. then we went to sleep. the next day we made it here at Fort G. That's our story, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Call Of Duty Black Ops

Time for some Black Ops! Me personally I think that Black Ops is the most kick-butt game I have ever played. I mean its just awesome! You can set up computers to play against, so if you like playing those team games but your friends aren't there you can also set the computers to be on your team. You can access every gun and perk as soon as you start, unless your playing online then you have to get your guns by leveling up. My favorite guns personally are the RPK, the M60, the stoner 63, the famas, the AUG and the AK 47. My best perks are scavenger pro, slight of hand pro and marathon pro. I also like the semtex as my grenade and the nova gas, and I also like the claymore. As my secondary I like the ASP as my pistol, the law as my rocket launcher and the cross bow as my special. Next week I'm going to be talking about a game that you can't find on the shelves, its called castle crashers. The only way to get it is to be a Xbox live member and get it in the market place.

Avid Reader...

Currently reading Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption on my Kindle App for my Android phone. I love a good biography. I don't know how long I will survive reading it once it gets to the war stuff, but I have enjoyed the first parts of the book.

Saturday Night...

Tonight I am thankful for cupcakes and quick dinners. I am thankful for my children making friends and for my husband that trusts me and wraps his arms around me while I sleep.

Halo Reach.

Basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to chose a game I once played and tell you all the good and bad things about it. As you can see by the name of the tittle I'm going to be talking about the new Halo, also the last Halo. I pretty much found two or three problems, 1. you can't mix and match the elites armor like in 2 and 3, 2. the tank has no weak spot when indestructible vehicles is on like all the other vehicles, 3. in the campaign you can't take the warthog where ever you want anymore! 4. I'm not sure if you guys will like it or not but I like how you have to play the game with your friend and campaign to level up and buy armor. Now I'm going to tell you about the good things. 1.they made some new weapons like the concussion riffle and the DMR. (the battle riffle from 2 and 3 only they turned it into a single shot.) 2. they made the most awesome vehicle in 1 and took it out in 2 and 3 and now its back, I forgot the name but it has the maneuverability of the ghost and the fire power of the wraith. 3. they made new armor! it looks so cool and you can wear it in the campaign! you can even buy master chiefs voice so in the campaign you sound like him! There are other voices to from both 2, 3 and ODST. 4. they made it to where your armor can have ability's like running, jet pack, armor lock, (you press the button and you become in invincible for a short time.) drop shield, dodge and invisibility. That's it for this week! Next week I'm going to talk about the new COD Black Ops!

My Friend's

At my youth. I have a couple Friend's. There is one that home school's like me. She is my age and every thing. The only thing is all the other girls think I am taking there BFF. She is moving in July so after she move's. I will have more friend's That don't think I am taking theres. I will be sad wene she moves but I will have more friend's after she is gone.

My blessing of the day

I am thankful for Daddy's. That will bring there daughter's on Dates. Oh how I love daddy daughter Dates.

Our cat

Our cat is like other cats, she attacks anything that moves, she likes boxes and she likes naps. She's not like other cats in some ways too, she sometimes just decides to disappear and sometimes she likes us 1 second the next she's clawing at us and trying to bite us. Another good thing about cats is that their fuzzy, cuddly and lovable! That's what I like about our cat and other peoples cats.

You know you are a military wife when...

1. You have an SOP of when you can and can't freak out.
2. When your children's favorite channel is the Military Channel.
3. You know the joy of hearing the ripping of velcro at ungodly early hours in the morning.
4. A pile of gear in the foyer fills your heart with joy because it means your husband did actually come out of the field, even if just for a few hours.
5. You have celebrated holidays sometimes weeks or months after everyone else due to the needs of the Army.
6. You shop for home decorations with the forethought of can this be broken by the movers.
7. Sleeping in means you don't get up until 0730.
8. You know that benedryl is a better choice of a sleep agent than Tylenol PM because you don't need the pain relief.
9. You know the menstrual cycles of all of the women in your husband's unit, especially when they are in the field.
10. Your husband only ever wears two pair of shoes, combat boots and running shoes.

Today I am thankful...

For the excitement of my husband and children that there is snow falling outside. Just because I hate it, doesn't give me reason to be a joy stealer for them. So despite the fact that I am a Florida girl that prefers sand to snow, I can hunt the good stuff and know that they are so full of excitement and joy. For today that is enough for me.

My blessing of the day

I'm thankful for my momma. She is the best momma in the world. Love you momma.

Genesis 1:27 and what it means to me

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." I think that this verse means that we were created to love and care like him. That we were made to love are neighbors as we do our selves. That we were all made to be friends instead of foes. That we were made to follow his plan, not our own. That we were made to follow J.O.Y. (Jesus Others You). That we were made to help others at all times. That we were made to be like him in every single way ever possible.

Resilient...

I have to laugh. I know, I know... I shouldn't. But I have to. I have attended a class for the last 5 Thursdays on what the Army defines as a resilient family member. I have attended all of the classes and they have now deemed me "equipped". I have to laugh because if I slowed down too long and really thought about why they are teaching me to be resilient I would have to cry.
I choose instead to laugh. I choose instead to hunt the good stuff and to be joyful no matter what the situation.
Drama, what drama? There was drama?
I guess what really keeps me moving is that I have survived so much more than people know. I am 'more than an overcomer'. I don't often give the gory details, but what the Army defines as resilient I define as 'overcomer'. So what exactly does that mean?
It doesn't mean that life is a bowl of cherries and that you never face challenges, or failure, or success. It doesn't mean that you have perfect kids, or a perfect marriage or dogs that never poop on the floor. It means that when you lose everything, you realize it was just stuff. When you lose someone you love, that you remember that God still has a purpose for your life. You plan for the worst and hope for the best. You don't take all of your anger, frustration, fear out on anyone near you. They can't handle it. They don't deserve it. God, whom doesn't deserve it, is the only one that can handle it. I remember many a time sitting in the Ingles parking lot overlooking our little town and yelling and crying to God to change my life. To deliver me. He did. Not in any way that I could have predicted or phathomed - did that prepare me for here? Maybe, but after the last couple of years of walking out the recovery of a life and dreams destroyed, I just value things differently. What used to be a HUGE deal, is now just common place. What used to kick me over the edge now just may cause a few tears. Do I always get it right? No. Are there days that I want to lay in bed and pull the covers over my head? Yes. And I do. Plenty of times.
Sometimes being resilient is knowing that I have permission to shut out the rest of the world. Resilient is being able to say no, being able to set and enforce comfortable boundaries.
This is all what resilient means to me, what does it mean to you?

Bible study

⁵ Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, “Who does that young woman belong to?”

I'm happy I wasn't alive back then. If you read this you see that a girl was OWNED. I would hate for some one to talk about me like that. I know that was just how it was back then but' still. I know we are all owned till we turn eight teen I git that. But I would not want some one saying who does that girl belong to? I was watching the History Channel on Julius.S and he gave his fifteen year old daughter to a Forty year old guy to gain his trust. An how your dad chose your husband not you. You didn't even git to say no.

My likes and unlikes

The color Green its my birth stone. I love the darker Green. Lime Green just looks funny. I love Frog's not as a pet but at a stuffed animal. I love all animals tho. I also like waka waka by Shakira. I am lessing to it right now. I just have some thing about Africa. I would love to go there some day. Not to live just a trip for two weeks. I have a list of places I want to go before I die. I know I'm only eleven but..... On the list is Africa and Alaska and Jamaica. Thats my top three. I love to decorate my room. Not my whole room just on my bunk bed. I have my own room but I still have bunk beds. I just put up drawings I did. and ribbon. I don't really like to read unlike my whole family. I would rather just draw. or curl up with my puppy. I love fruit and veggies. I don't like sweets but I like a few sweets but not a lot. I could survive on strawberry milk and peanut butter.It has to be JIF though. My favorite animal is a Lieger. This is a Lieger by his momma.

The Lieger is the big one.

My siblings

First there is my brother, Techie, he likes to play on his computer, he likes to ride his bike and he can be a little goofy sometimes. He is good at video games (almost as good as me.), he likes to play his music really loud and he likes going to youth. Now for my sis, Skippy, she likes stuffed animals, she has maybe 50 of them. she also likes the real animals, she likes to play with her puppy, especially walking her and she likes to play with Lego's. She's cute, pretty, beautiful and what ever else you can think of. So that all of them, in all of their goofiness! Now you both know my siblings, and their cheesy butts! Tomorrow, I'll talk about the parents! Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Thankful

It's really stinks when Momma get sick. Yesterday Techie had to cook dinner and GI Jack had to go buy groceries. But they did it and I was so thankful. GI Jack even bought the fixings to cook dinner tonight. I am blessed and I am feeling better today!
