Turkey Day!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! That is just what we all should be doing, is giving thanks for all that we have in our life. No matter how bad you may think you have it, there is always someone else out there who has it worse. we should all give thanks for our jobs, oru families, the chance to go to school and better ourselves, and for the opprotunities to change the world. Everything we do is a chance to change things for the better. Many people think that a small gesture can't change anything but it all comes around eventually. I am hoping for peace on earth one day.............HA......one can dream though. Everyone have a wonderful thanksgiving, tell the people you love that you love them and eat lots of delicious food! It was a wonderful class! Thank you all.

So Close

As we are finishing up this class so is my husband with his deployment. He will be home soon and I am becoming more and more anxious and ready! I have missed him so much and so has our daughter Abigael. Since he has been gone she has started talking more, gotten closer to walking, and now has 4 teeth. It is amazing how much we can realize exactly how much we actually love someone when they are gone. This time apart has made me realize that my wedding vows were all so real. I completely believe in death till you part. Since he has been gone each time we talk I get butterflies all over again like when we were dating. I am also excited to be so close to finishing this paper. A few final touches and it will be turn in ready! It has been a wonderful class professor, thank you!

WOW week 8

So it is already week 8! This semester has flown by rather quickly just like the professor said. So this week for me is all about revising my draft and adding to it. I am going to make it as perfect as I can then submit it to the writing center. This week in my personal life my grandmother drove out to OK from GA to visit Abigael and I. It is really nice to have some company, soon it will be thanksgiving then Christmas and New Years are right around the corner. Sometime after that I should be expecting my husband to finally come home. I am really excited and anxious to finally see him. Abigael is getting 4 teeth in all at once and will be walking when he gets back. she will be a whole different girl when he sees her.

Almost There

We are almost done with class, it has gone by so fast. Soon we will turining our finished products. I am really glad we did our first draft it gave us a chance to see how we would potentially do on our papers. Now all we have to do add on to our paper, which is great. I am excited to revise my paper and turn it in to something amazing. In my home life things are going ok, I had a mild breakdown the other day. My husband being gone makes things much harder for me and for him. Our daughter is growing up before my eyes and he is missing it. He would love to see all of the new things she is doing but he can't. Hopefully the next couple of months will go by fast and he will be home soon.

Halloween

So it is Halloween. I just thought I would write about my plans and whats going on. This week my mom flew out from georgia to be with my daughter and i while my husband is gone. She has been such a huge help to us. I don't know how I would have made it through without her. For Halloween we dressed my daughter up as an elephant and I was a mouse. She was soo cute, we took her to a couple houses in my friends neighborhood. It was nice. I am very grateful to have soo many people in my life that love me. I have a lot of help from friends and family, it makes it a little easier on me. I would love to live closer to home but being in the military you really gain a whole other family within. My coworkers come together and we are all like one big extended family.

Half Way

So we are half way through this semester and it has gone by pretty fast. I am doing my paper on organ donation which I really feel strongly about this subject. I am for organ donation and am writing my paper on the opt-out system. The system we have now is opt-in which means you have to "apply" to be an organ donor. This is terrible now because the amount of organ donors we have to the amount of people who need organs is drastically different. Hopefully people will get on board with this program in the future. The great thing about this program is that if you don't want to be an organ donor all you would have to do is fill out a paper. Next week our first draft is due hopefully I will get it finished in time to turn it in to the writing center. The writing center is a wonderful resource! Thank you, until next time!

Week 4

So it is week 4 in class which is crazy how fast it is going,and it is week 2 in my husbands deploymet. I am counting down the days till he comes home! My daughter will be 9 months old in a few das which I tink is crazy. So far my looking at everythng as glass half full is working out for me. I am a much happier person and not so stressed out. I am attempting to get my school work all done early so i'm not rushing all the time. It seems though that I am a procrastinator just like my husband. My Abigael is doing so good she will be walking on her own very soon. She can walk if I holdher hands which is still really good. I am such a proud mommy! Speaking of, I am so lucky my mom is coming t visit me for haloween. We are going to take Abigael trick-or-treating, she is dressing up as an elephant, she will be adorable.
