Finally back after a long hiatus

         It has been a long time since I have blogged and it may be due time for me to catch up. The last time I posted was March of last year and SO much has happened since then.  First off, my husband went, he saw, and he conquered Air Force BMT. We are now at Altus Air Force Base YAY! Altus isn't that bad but it is quite a culture shock. My hometown is home to over 60,000 people and growing rapidly. Altus has maybe 20,000 if that and is not growing. But it does have that nice homey feel, kind of like Mayberry. The town is made into one large square, there are 4 main roads and one of them goes straight through town. all the stores whether it be food, clothing, and general merchandise are mainly mom and pop stores. The residents consist I would say 3/4 of military families.  The  closest real shopping to do is either Walmart in town or the mall in Lawton almost an hour away:(  . Oh well, everything has it's pros and cons. 

           Outside of that, My son, is now going to be 2 years old this month. How exciting !! He has turned into an amazing, smart, handsome, polite young man. He says please and thank you, he can put on his shoes and loves to dress himself and brush his own teeth. He is working on his ABC's and 123's. I am making lesson plans to at home preschool him after his 2nd birthday. I believe he is ready and I think even more so he will find it interesting and fun. 

             I am on a journey to better myself as well. I have decided that my path lie in the nursing career. I have completed 4 of my pre-requisite classes already. I took a small break over the summer and this Fall, but this Spring I am deciding to get back to it and buckle down. This is something important not only for myself but for my family as a whole. Once I do complete everything I would love to be an OB nurse or maybe even peds.  I am also working on my health as well. After having my son and roller coasters with birth control I have gained a bit of weight and am currently working on losing that. We have also decided sometime in the next year is the perfect time to try for baby #2. We of course want healthy and happy, but we wouldn't be dissapointed to have a girl :)  I will try to keep this blog going as often as possible with everything that's been going on. Especially now that I have more to write about.
