well its finally coming together...

Its that thrilling moment when your on a roller coaster  and you know whats happening all you can see is the sky .  and people  around you are excited  screaming with their arms raised above their heads . Well I know what comes next  but I dont want it to happen yet . Im at the very edge . My heart is racing . I know we are reaching that hill right before the first spiral . It can be a good thing  or bad. Im hoping good. My career is  taking off for the better. In this past year I have learned  alot . I know that in some ways i've matured and in some ways  I have remained stagnant. I am a married woman with a great sense of pride and learned from slight hardships in life not to let ANYONE walk on me . I am just that a WOMAN in the strongest form of the word . Do not underestimate the power of a woman . Its like the LOVE of a mother . The power of a woman can change the ocean tides  and draw the moon closer .  It can move mountains and inspire people to do things they never dreamt of doing . It can make  this horrible world a bright sunshiny place and make oscar the grouch come out of his everloving garbage can .  I have that POWER.   I stand behind my Man . In front of every man is a powerful woman .  And I mean that as a a true from of speach not a figure . Because It is the woman who makes the financial decisions . The decisions on  what to buy for the house or what move to make next . If a buddy calls to go out for drinks what do you do . You ask your wife . She stands before you because before you move you must go through her . I dont want to offend anyone  Its not that Im  saying women have complete and udder control in life . But in a sense they do . Even  if men dont realize it .  Think about it . I am so very proud of my man . I gave him the  initiative to move forward to stop remaining stagnant and to move forward with his plans .  had 4th of July night not happened  we would still be sitting here  in the same situation with the same  goals not  moving like clockwork hoping and dreaming for a better life . Instead we have moved on them . I helped him enroll in college  and i continue to help with his studies . Thats my JOB . I love that JOB . Because before long we will be looking back at this as a stepping stone not a stone wall .  In my case this new job is also a stepping stone . I have bettered myself and  created a future  that is bright . I will learn skills essential to live by  in life . Not just open a box and stock a shelf .  The skills I will learn are universal . You can apply them in everyday life.  They will open new opportunities. Its like on christmas morning  you see the large present under the tree . You  unwrap it and cut open the box .  Theres another box .   you unwrap that box and cut it open theres another box .   Its like unfolding life .  In life you have to go through the many peels to get to the prize .  A year from now we will be completely different people . A year ago I lived life conformed to what I thought life was supposed to be .  Settle down, get married, live to work,  have babies ,and stop . I no longer live by that .  I  still make plans to make the transition easier . I have opened an IRA . A checking account  a savings account and  Mint.com  so that I can see the big picture and  become financially stable .  But  I will no longer live by what step I should take next . I watch out for the hurdles coming at me and strategize how we will  jump over them .   After the research ive done  on what its like and stories Ive read of being an Air Force Wife I've learned you never know what to expect  and to be prepared for them as they come .  Nothing is ever going to turn out the way you expected .  and if you expect or assume something is going to happen that way you set yourself up for dissappointment .
