Sorry I've been MIA! :)

Man honestly I have got nothing done but I feel like I have been so busy!

But I don't even know what I've been SO busy with!

My Christmas was lovely! :)

I spend most of it with my soldiers parents, it was so nice to get some quiet and relax :)

He got me a BEAUTIFUL coat I wanted so bad! :)

I have compleatly neglected my poor bedroom! Its a disaster zone!

I have so much laundry to do! Poor Rylee needs a bath and my hamster cage needs clean!

I have been so bad recently and I have no clue why!

Well I'm going to get on top of things and start the new year out right! :)

So here are some Christmas pictuers! :)

Stay tuned for our (Paul and I)'s new years resolutions :)

Oh MY !

I've been so busy I totally forgot about my bloggy friends :)

Well lets see...

We had Christmas at grandmas :) that was GREAT

And I've been so busy in the kitchen! (A LOT OF PICTURES TO COME!)
This is short just letting everyone know Im alive!

A longg blog to come soon!!

Kiah Bear :)

I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM!

MY SISTER AND HER FAMILY ARE COMING TO SEE ME!

So Kiah is the most amazing person EVER! I cant begin to tell you how much I love her!

BUT.. My sister moved 3 hours away and with our lives its been pretty difficult to get with each other. Which totally sucks. I haven't seen Kiah since September! Thats the longest I have ever gone from seeing her! Which breaks my heart.

So here are some pictures of her amazing-ness!

AND MY FAVORITE PICTURE!

Christmas Cookies! :)

The past few days I've been making cookies! :)

Mmm... Cut out cookies and they taste great

My mom made them when I was a kid

My grandma makes them the best!

And even my older sister makes them! There the best!

So I've been slaving away in the kitchen :)

Which I miss actually! I use to make a cake about once a week,

But since Paul's (the boyfriend) sisters baby shower I haven't made any!

That cake took alot of my time and after it I was exhausted! So getting back into the kitchen has felt really good. I dropped out of making Christmas trays for my FIL'S! :( Because of money and time. I didn't want to deal with the hassle while dealing with all my Christmas stress.

Which thinking about it now is good! Because I just got told I have to go to Georgia and North Carolina to see my Great Grandparents. And scope out the new town my parents will be moving to. (without me!!!)

So Im thinking I will make a few christmas treats and a few of my own :)

So enough about my cooking!

Hope everyone has a good day! Until tomorrow!

Thankfullll

I've never been so thankful for my family and boyfriend than I am today! my Aunt came over today and we had a great talk about alot of my fears growing up and soon becoming a wife (I hope!) and she just put it in a simple, understandable way! I've never been more sure that Paul is who I'm suppose to be with ;) he's the best :) thought I'd share my great day with you! Hope everyone had a great weekend, mine was alright Paul worked :( and the gators lost :'( but in the end I got alot of cleaning done and painting! Even a scrapbook page! I'm pretty proud! Have a good week everyone ;)

Your Total Amount.

After hearing that daily at the grocery store, Starbucks, even gas stations. You never really think about those words YOUR TOTAL AMOUNT... What is my total amount,what will I amount to? Lately I have found myself questioning "myself". I date a HERO! But what am I? He serves our country, fights for your freedom & rights. But what am I?

What am I good at? That's been the worst question of all! Maybe I'm to hard on myself but I don't feel I have a unique talent for anything. I don't stand out or am abnormally good at anything. Then there's that word NORMAL!!! That's all I am, but I don't want that to be all I'll ever be.

I don't want to feel normal anymore but the only time I feel special is with him. But I know I shouldn't have to rely on him to make me feel good {and let me tell you he makes me feel like the most wonderful girl alive!} I guess I just wish I could see myself through his eyes.

I don't have to have the nice clothes I so badly wish I could have, I don't have to be a beautiful blond with blue eyes and a perfect smile, I don't have to be that girl that everyone I mean EVERYONE loves... You know That girl? The one that all the girls in High School with were her best friend. Shes smart funny popular beautiful! The girl you wish you were! I don't have to be her. And he still loves ME! Why cant I feel the way he does about myself? Why cant the fact that he loves me be enough?

Lord,

YOU are my confidence. I am so in love with you!

Keep me focused on you even when I'm discouraged

and scared about being inadequate. Give me assurance

of your presence, your help in all you've called

me to do. Even when I feel alone constantly let

me remember your promise WITH YOU ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE.

So with me questioning myself I thought it might be a good night to properly introduce myself, my family, and my life! :) Here are some pictures to help!

THE END!

BUT MORE TO COME

Football football football!!

One of my favorite parts of the week is when Sunday rolls around! I make a nice simple lunch and we curl up on the couch for some football! I love the cuddling that comes with the games! Today he is in a great mood, very cuddly and sweet! I wish everyday was like this. He's very affectionate :) Sundays are my new favortie day! I get to be lazy I don't even get dressed! Although I should go to church it's such a hassle!

I don't have a car :( and he lives 30 minutes away and our church is 5 minutes from his house so it's such a pain for him to drive to get me and to back to church!

Which is why I can't wait to move in together! Things will be so much easier, we'll save alot on gas that's for sure.

I may be wierd but I love napping with him :) I love when he falls asleep before me because I love when he snores! I remember my mom fussing about my dad snoring but I love it! It's comforting. One of the top things I missed when he was gone :)

Well he's snoring which means time to put the computer up and lay with him!

Have a great Sunday

Welcome!

So I'm not sure how all this works but I'm a blog addict! I love reading everyones blogs so I've decided to start my own! My life isn't that interesting but I wanted to journal my journey of becoming a young army wife! My boyfriend and I have been together for an amazing year and a half! He is currently in the army reserves due to the fact that florida has no army bases but he plans on going active after we get married! So this blog will be about transforming my life! My parents plan to move at the end of this school year so I will be jornaling about starting my own life as an adult!


Hope you enjoy ;)
