I was on my way home from working out this morning and started thinking about why it's so hard for people to take the "high road" When I'm talking on this blog, I'm talking just as much to myself as I am anyone who this might hit home to. It honestly is so much easier to say hurtful, mean things than it is to say nice, encouraging, words! That's pretty crazy isn't it?!? I think so! This is something I'm totally guilty of especially with people that I'm really close to! The problem for me is that a lot of time I do things in advance to eliminate getting hurt worse! I guess I don't have enough faith in people, which is also sad! I guess the challenge for myself is to try and do the right thing even if it kills me, and it might kill me :)
This time home has been full of challenges and such a learning experience. Part of me wishes I never would have moved home this deployment, but the other part is glad for the lessons I've learned so far. It's been an eye opening experience in so many ways. It sucks, but I guess better to learn some of these lessons now than any later down the road?!?
Have a good day peeps!!

Thanks a bunch!!
I had to get a TB Test today.....YUCK! I didn't care for that much. I can get my blood taken all day long, but when it's lower in your arm like that.....I don't like that one bit.
I talked to Mo-bear a couple hours ago, he just got off the hill. He is going to be out the majority of the time that he's off the hill this time so keep him in your prayers. He was really sick right before he went up, but they gave him a z-pack and he's feelin good now. He told me that he got a package from the Willett's and a card from Nancheeee!! He was very stoked! I just really want to thank all of our fam and friends that have been soooo supportive through this deployment. The love has been amazing!! Even the community has played a big part in sending things over. The guys love getting things, but even just the cards and letters are sooooo helpful and appreciated. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so kind!!
Bootcamp: it's kicken my butt in gear and I LOVE it!!! I really didn't think I would like it this much. I'm really hurting, but it feels great. I haven't felt this sort of pain since volleyball. I heart it!! We'll see if I feel the same this time next week though ;)
I'm looking forward to tomorrow....Natasha is watching the kiddos for me and I'm going to go spend some sissy time with Fritts!! I'm really looking forward to having some no-kid time with her. We don't get to do that a lot so I'm really excited. I'm so blessed to have such a great little sister! I feel sad that Gracie isn't going to have a sister to share life with, but not sad enough to have another one :) I'm kiddin...really though...She can drive me crazy, but she really is one of my bestest friends!!
Enough random talk for now......
peace out!

I'm Tired!
Today was officially my first day of "boot camp" It's from 5:30-6:30 am, Monday-Friday. I was really nervous going this morning, but I pulled through. I'm going to be hurting tomorrow that's for sure! I'm trying to get ready for our Hawaii trip!! Finallyyyyyy, Mo and I are going to be able to get away and take a trip together! It's been a long time coming, and we are so looking forward to it.
Since I was up bright and early this morning, I went and dropped off Gracie's CCS paperwork first thing. Gracie had an Easter party at school today. Her and Tanner came home on cloud 9, they had such a great day. It's going to be a fun week for all the kids. There is so much fun stuff planned at school, church, and in the area! They are going to have a blast. It's fun to watch them get all excited over the Holidays :)
Alrighty, I'm SUPER tired and I have to get up at 4:45 tomorrow so I better keep it short.
lots of love....

ooops
some of the pictures got cut off down below. You can click on the picture and it will show you the entire thing.
ALSO---LOOK UP---I put Mo's address up top so it's easy to find now
ALSO---LOOK UP---I put Mo's address up top so it's easy to find now
HMMMMMM....Where to begin......
I'll start with Mo It looks like Mo-bear should be home around July 22! That's only 4 months away!!! He is busy, busy, busy. Up on the hill and then when he is down off the hill he is going out on missions daily. Mo has a big decision ahead of him on choosing what direction he wants to take in his military career. He is supposed to go into Military Intel. and we should be moving to Arizona. He has also been thinking about going into Special Forces though. It's a BIG decision he has to make, but I know he will make the right one.
This kiddos are great. I'm finally going to get Gracie back into swim lessons. I've been slacking big time. I need to get AJ signed up as well. That's on my to do list for next week. The kids and I have been staying super busy in hopes that these next few months will go by quickly.
Gracie is doing great in school still. She is going to have to start Kinder. here in Cali because she doesn't meet the deadline in WA state. So, she will start here and then they have to take her into Kinder. in WA once she has started in another state. She is soooo ready! We went back and forth on what to do, but I think we finally got it all figured out. She has been busy with school, friends, and her crazy cousins. She is having a blast right now, but she still is missing her Daddy more than ever.
She's my special girl :)
On a side note.... have any of you eaten at the the crushed grape in slo?? yum Yum. I've never tried it because I assumed it wouldn't be anything I would like. It's soooooo good!!! Ya'll got to try it!

Ashton...oh Ashton. This kid is my challenge for sure! He's always sick, and he's just a big mama's boy! He is such a pain in the booty, but at the same time he is the cutest, little, guy. He gives you a big cheesy smile and your heart just melts. He has us all wrapped around his chubby, little, fingers :) He is into EVERYTHING!! He doesn't like to stay at home...he wants to be on the go constantly. I'm sooooo excited for Mo to get home and help me out with this one. I think Morgan is in for it :) BIG NEWS~~~ AJ had his first experience down on the beach! Yes, this is very sad seeing that we live right down the road from the ocean. He doesn't like the sand too much, but I've never seen him so still before. He just sits and takes it all in. It was nice
As for me, I might be getting a little side job here soon. I should find out soon if I'm going to be working or not. I'll tell you more when I know more.
I'm starting "bootcamp" on Monday :( I don't know what I got myself into?!? I'm doing it with a friend and it's 5 days a week starting at 5:30 in the morning!! That's ridiculously early for me and I might possibly DIE!!! Hopefully I will get through it.......
