Just an update
I was at an army wives expo last month and put my name in some raffles, one of which was life coach sessions. I have been in a mood where it was hard to love myself and love others and I needed help. I prayed that my relationship with my husband and others would improve and I think that winning those 4 free sessions answered that. I had my second session with my life coach and it was even more emotional the second time. She had given me a handout of a tree with words on them called the "Tree of Love" and they were all words that we need to have to love ourselves. She has a page on facebook if you'd like to check it out, she posts loving words and pictures to help us love ourselves.

30 day blog challenge~day 6
What is your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality
My sign is Pisces and I know it fits my personality to a tee!
PISCES SUN : honest, unselfish, trustworthy, pearl merchant, peaceful, wealthy, uneventful, religious, prodigal, gullible, loved by women.
Mysticism, escape into the One; sees the unity, fails to make "normal" distinctions, often weak ego; victim, martyr, servant; tends to escapism, fantasy, drugs (especially alcohol), religion; very receptive, sensitive, even psychic; co-dependency, care-taking; withdrawn from the world; release from the world.
General character: Two fish are associated with your Zodiac Sign. You are generous, caring, and kind. However, you tend to be more concerned about other people's problems than your own. You are not a decisive person and may change your mind many times.Because of your good qualities, you are popular with many types of people, but when you are secretive you drive these friends away. Weak concentration skills can get you into trouble at school.
If you ask my husband if this is me he would laugh and agree ESPECIALLY with the sensitive and indecisive part, my friends would agree with the unselfish and trustworthy and definitely the concern with other peoples problems.

30 day blog challenge~day 5
What is your favorite comfort food and why?
I would have to say meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I love making meatloaf and I always make it different each time depending on my mood that day. My potatoes always consist of sour cream, butter, cheese, bacon bits, and seasonings.

30 day blog challenge~Day 4
What are your views on religion?
I always have had mixed feelings on the subject. I was raised Lutheran and growing up my parents made us go to church every Sunday. My sister and I both went to Sunday school and then when I was 15 my mom had me take classes so I can take communion (I forgot what it was called). I used to go to PWOC on Tuesdays at the church on post. I enjoyed it but sometimes I felt that the women were to submissive and I hate being told what to do and what I "need" to do as a woman. One point in my life I decided to take another route and study Wiccan. I did that for awhile but then realized that Christianity was more for me so I went back and prayed to God. The only thing I don't like about the Christian religion is that the people who are "Bible thumpers" try and tell you the things you do wrong and judge you. I was taught that only God judges but I guess they think they can talk for God. I don't know what is in store for my future and what God holds for it but I can wait and see. :)

30 day blog challenge~Day 3
What are your pet peeves?
Oh wow, I have a few!
1) People who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. I have to constantly remind not only my 2 kids but my husband as well..it even grosses me out when I use the public bathroom and see women go out without washing up. Germs people, hellooo!
2) Chewing with mouth open. I know I can be just as guilty sometimes but I'm trying to teach my kids that its impolite to do that and its gross!
3) Army wives who complain about things they can't control. Look, no one made you marry into the military lifestyle and if you married before he became a soldier you should have done your research. The army life is what you make of it, suck it up or find a civilian. Period.
4) Whistling. I loathe it, it annoys the inner most depth of my soul. I'm like Sheldon when it comes to people doing it.

30 day challenge~day 2
Where would you like to be in 10 years?
Well, thats an open ended question because 10 years ago I was married to a completely different man and we had no kids yet.
Well, in 10 years I'm hoping to have a stronger marriage with my now husband and hopefully not loose too much sanity with two teenagers at that time. I hope to have graduated college and have a successful career. I also hope to have more patience, be happier, and not sweat the small stuff

30 Day Blog Challenge~Day 1
I came across this site when I was on my addiction favorite site pinterest and I thought this was fun to do and since my husband is drowning in Call of Duty I have been finding other things to do than nag at him.
I was married before for 10 years to someone I shouldn't have been in the first place but hey, we live we learn right? I swore that I would never marry again and especially a soldier again..until I met my husband. We met last year in August and met through a crazy time in both our lives. We dated for a few weeks when he asked me to marry him. I was a bit skeptical but he grew on me and I fell hard. We got married October 12 and even though we have had our ups and downs we still can't get enough of each other.

My year in review
This past year was insane! I'm glad I survived though through a new job, a new husband, ect I want to rekindle those moments by posting this.
January
I started my job with Home Depot. I had just gotten laid off from my old job and went through a lot of stress looking for a new one.
February
A friend of mine passed that month and I still think about him to this day. He will always be missed by me and his friends and family.
March
It was my birthday and it was a very strange time for me. My birthday week/end I couldn't move, I was paralyzed. I laid in bed and cancelled my birthday plans. I had no clue what was going on, if it was because Joe had died the previous month or me just going through things. I had a very bad month...I did, however, buy a new car!
April
Not much went on, work and take care of kids, my life was kinda dull at this point.
May
Took the kids to see the play Pinkalicious, Lila of course LOVED it and she got to get a fairy wand
June
Home Depot had us volunteer to plant flowers and do work in and around the Fisher House on Fort Hood. The kids had a blast and it was good for them to do volunteer work
July
The kids started soccer and they absolutely loved it.
August
The kids started school, Braden in second grade and Lila in Kindergarten. They were so excited!
September
I met the guy that has changed my life. He has taught me to love again, to trust, and to know that I am higher than how I made myself out to be. I had bad relationships, I had been lied to, cheated on, manipulated and he worked hard to change my mind. I never knew what true love was, I never knew what it was like to be completely in love with someone til he came into my life.
October
People may think I'm crazy, I know this, I also know that in my heart that he was the one. He told me the second week we were together he was going to marry me and I told him he was crazy. When he left for a week back in September I couldn't sleep, couldn't focus, I wasn't myself. Thats when I knew he was the one. We got married October 12, it was just like "ok, lets get married"
November
I told my mom that Josh and I got married, then told everyone else. It was hard for me because of all the shit I put everyone through and my 10 year crap marriage. She was totally supportive and happy that I wasn't wild anymore. He got to meet my uncle Russ and aunt Mandy and they liked him too.
December
Was the hardest month I have had in quite sometime. I left my kids to meet Josh's family. I debated about it for awhile but it was important to him for me to meet his family. I enjoyed some of the trip, some not so great but it tested our relationship when I had to deal with his ex-wife. We had some huge arguments during that time but we stayed together through that time and I'm glad.

This was the view when we stayed overnight in Northern Nevada
I hope and pray that 2013 will be better for me emotionally and financially!

An update
So my soldierman and I have been married for almost 3 months and I never could imagine how much we have gone through in such a short amount of time. We are still getting used to each other, our moods, how we react, how we click, and even though we should have gotten to know more about each other before tying the knot we still simply can't get enough of each other. I have never met such an outspoken, upbeat, crazy man in my life. He is slowly changing his short temper attitude which I appreciate and I'm slowly changing my sensitive emotional one. We have little fights, sometimes big, but one things for sure, we promised that we'd never leave no matter what. He knows that I don't give up, I may be a little 5'3 to his over 6 foot tall bear status but I still stand in front of him and tell him "NO, you are not going to walk away, we are going to talk about this like adults"
I finally can say I found my best friend.
I finally can say I found my best friend.
One I fight with
One I wake up to
One I can just lay with
One I can spend forever with
