Good evening!

A lot has happened. I have started CASA training!!!! Also classes started this week. I have had more blood work and an xray. One of my doctors have referred me to another doctor, hopefully they can tell me what is going on.

Well, I have two seminars today.  I also may be looking for a new job too. We shall see in a few weeks. Keep you posted on how things go.

How are all of you?

Back at it!

Bare with me this will be a jump around post.

Well, I have been able to write for a bit. I have been really busy. I finally have gotten everything in the works. My primary care told me not to worry because I'm a female so I'm suppose to be osteopenic (something like that). Mac is on a whole new schedule duty day(24 hours) then work day, which means he goes in around 6 one day and won't get off until after the next work day. Then he comes home and the next day works nights back to back. So this week he had duty Monday, came home after work Tuesday, nights tonight and tomorrow, then Friday off Saturday off, duty Sunday. Then this schedule just about repeats.

I have enrolled in school again. I will be going back for my second bachelors all online. I start on the 26th! This year we have a lot of stuff going on. So I will try to post frequently. no promises. It is crazy to see it's march!!

Mac starts looking at orders in November! What should I expect now......

MIA

Hello,

I want to apologize for not being active. Around the end of January I was told my grandmother has stage four cancer. That same day told my Aunt's mother-in-law ( I have known since I was 3ish) was hospitalized. She pasted a few days later. That same day I was told my great grandmother passed. It was a lot to take in. So in my family we share the memories and celebrate the life. It's a party. Weird, I know.

On another note, I'm still fighting with doctors about my health. February 10, I had another Dexa Scan. A Dexa scan is a bone scan it basically will tell the density of my bones. Well, as of February I have now had three scans. & this one states I have osteopenia. Tomorrow I get to talk to my doctor about the results so I will see what the next step is for this. I have been actively going to the gym, I tried the daily calcium dietary supplements, a few other things. So now I will see what is next.

Stay tuned for next move.

Be Who You Want Your Kids to Be!

This post will strictly be for me to vent.

Let me begin with saying how people don't want their kids bullying or even being bullied. Now, where do you think they learn to become these bullies. I'm going to use a prime example I see happen just about everyday. FACEBOOK. We see more bullies there then in reality. Why? Because the fear of retaliation is gone, we can hide behind the keyboard. I will narrow it down a bit. On facebook I'm sure you have seen the military hatred posts (like in the picture below). Yes she said mean things doesn't mean we have to also. Maybe she just truly doesn't understand the military life. Being a military brat is completely different than being a military spouse. Or being a civilian child and then marry into the military now that will change your outlook completely... But today the post hit me hard:

Well the person who reposted this continued to call her a piece of shit. And that got me thinking:

I understand how angry that post may make you. It makes me angry as well. But did you ever stop to think it was another hoax. Or even if it isn't, she does have her right to freedom of speech. We don't have to agree with her But it doesn't mean we have to go around and blast her, calling her names and what not.  I mean for those of you who have kids, you don't want them being the bully, correct?  Now, I'm not saying you do this, I'm saying it happens. If you are going to sit here and disrespect someone for their opinion, don't get mad when you are the one disrespected. Or if your kid becomes the bully you don't want them to be.  Who do you think they learn it from. We can't expect them not to do something we do. 

What happened to the golden rule: "Do onto others as you wish others to do onto you."
Be a role model.

Computer issues!

Heyy! 

I'm sorry I have been MIA. My computer needed to be repaired. It had so many viruses on it. But thankfully geek squad is great & got them all off.  So what have I been up too? Well, I was fighting a cold for a while. We visited family in jersey for New years. The dogs finally got to experience snow. That was a cute show haha. Now I have began to try making full means maybe not from scratch. but semi scratch! It's quite fun. I will continue to keep you posted. I also am still waiting to hear from my doctor about the John Hopkins things. 

I hope everyone's new year is starting off to a good start :)

Holidays Cheer

With the holidays literally around the corner, I try to share the cheer. But this year it seems to be really hard to get the mood. I managed to get Mac gifts however, the rest is all blah. I even tried to go see the lights at Botanical Gardens. They were amazing but just didn't helped.

So now, I'm still trying. I think it was because Mac was gone all year. I have the tree set up. presents under it. & Thanks to my mother in law there are now more presents.

Although, there are presents, I want to take a step back. Christmas isn't about the presents, it is about family and friends. However, I knew that years ago. I am shamed to admit I looked forward to gifts every year expect this one! I guess it took me being married and having my husband gone majority of the year to realize this. I have everything I want and need. I have a roof over my head, food and medical, amazing animals, everything I need. Now, I have Mac here. It's everything I need. I also have more things than I did growing up and I wouldn't take it for granted now.  So, yes gifts are nice, but lets not forget the meaning behind the holidays. There are many families who don't have their loved ones home for the holidays. They would give away all gifts just to have their loved ones home.

So I leave you with this surprise homecoming video.

Happy Holidays Everyone <3

Back to reality.

Good evening,  I'm sorry I haven't wrote much a lot has taken place since my last post.

First the big news(for me)! The weekend mac got home, he got me a new car! a 2013 Hyundai Elantra.

Well, Mac took his post deployment leave, he also had it extend (this is where I will explain a past post). His leave started off rough, he fought a cold so we relaxed at home until the beginning of December. December 2nd, marked the point where his leave was extended. During his extended leave we spent time in Florida. We enjoyed our time down there but there was one main reason we were there. & here is why:

Back in April I posted a post titled one month one week. It talked about how something had happened in the family and I'd rather not post details. Well, back in April, his grandfather past away. He wasn't allowed to come home until later, which then we have to pay to send him back (WAY TO MUCH MONEY). We thought about it. But his grandfather was cremated. On December 7, 2013 we laid his ashes to rest at the South Florida National Cemetery. I'm really happy mac was able to get closure. It was nice to meet his grandmother :). I will love to go back and stay some more (I'll post pictures soon).

On another note: my health. I went back to the Rheumatologist. He told me just about all my blood word was fine, expect something with red blood cells (nothing major). But he then went on to say, "well, we know something is wrong but we don't know what. I think you should go to john Hopkins center of internal medicine. They are the best and can figure out what exactly is going on." Ok well, I listened but that won't happen unless tricare pays for it. So this begins my research. (John Hopkins hospital is in Baltimore). He told me this at my appointment on the 9th.

After the appointment, I got a little down. I was thankful Mac had arranged for me to pick up my early Christmas present. That afternoon I got to pick up our new addition to the family! Skittles, our new kitten :). She is multi-colored and about 10 weeks old. pictures to come soon.

Well, I think I have filled you in. Christmas is coming soon, so I am trying to make sure I get everything covered before it's way too late. It feels great to be back and trying to get in the groove of things again.

Happy Holidays everyone!
