Abigayle's first school days have been going good. Of course we are still in those beginning stages where school is fun. Well when I look back at it she has always loved school. I am still in awe of how quickly she is growing up and becoming a young lady. But like many are telling me I better come to terms with it quickly because its gonna happen whether I want it to or not.

Last night was pop's birthday. We had yummy enchiladas for dinner and chocolate cake for dinner. Now you know that I was all over that mexican food...lol It had been so long since I had good Mexican food... :) The chocolate cake on the other hand was a different story. Im not a fan...so I just stuck to having a scoop of the ice cream.

This morning Im off to BAMC to deal with the people at Tricare and have our insurance switched down here. Wish me luck!

First day of school

We drove down from Kansas a few days ago and now we are back at my parent’s house.  I must say that it is different going from having two other people in the house to having 4 other people in the house…but for those of you who know me know that Im loving every minute of it.  I love being in a house full of people.  Being back here in San Antonio has been great…but of course you know Im missing my hubby.  

Abigayle started school today.  Its hard for me to believe that she is already in the 4th grade.  It seems like just yesterday that she was just learning how to crawl….but I guess that if you’re a parent you understand what it is that Im talking about.  She is 9 going on 29...and I just wish that sometimes time would slow down so that I could enjoy her a little more.  I have to admit that today around 11:30 I was missing her like crazy.  I had gotten so used to having her around all day every day that when she had to go to school today I missed her lots.  But today we found out that she is in Mr. Sellers’ class.  That is the same teacher that she had in the 2nd grade…and of course that is the teacher that she has had a crush on since we left.  So as you can guess she had a huge smile on her face when she found out that she was going to be in his class again.  

We just got her registered for tumbling again at Flip City.  Today was her first class and you can tell she is a bit out of shape…but she is doing really well.  She is working on getting her double back handspring back and from the looks of things that’s probably going to happen really soon.  She has a natural talent for this kind of thing and I think she is gonna go all the way with this.  She wants to be a UT cheerleader….so I guess we will see what happens. 

Drama at ACS!!

So here I am at ACS…supposed to be working and I can’t seem to keep my mind on work. There really isn’t that much for us to do around here anyway. Sometimes I just sit here and watch these people walking around doing nothing all day long. Its pretty ridiculous the amount of money that these people are getting to just walk around all day long and to take cigarette breaks whenever they get tired of walking around. Then of course there’s the drama. Everyone around here has something to say about someone. I thought Citibank was bad…but it has nothing on these people. Its like they have no lives so they feel the need to consume their lives with gossip about other people. Its truly ridiculous. I have done the best I can to stay out of it. I don’t want any part of their nonsense. My mom always said that once you get involved in that crap you get a reputation and then there’s no turning back. I just can’t wait though…for January 16th to come around. That will be the end of our contract and then Im done here with all of this nonsense. I did apply for another job over in Junction City. It seems pretty interesting and the closing date for that one in December 12th so all of you pray for me so that I can get the heck out of this place. Geez...I sound bitter don't I??

Our Family

This is our family. Anthony is already pushing 30...eek. He is stressing because his birthday is coming up on January 5th. Such an old man. : ) He is in the Army and is attached to 4th Bde, 1/28 Black Lions. Our daughter Abigayle is 8. She is in the 3rd grade and thinks she knows it all...believe it or not. Im 27 and feeling every minute of that. I work for ACS (Army Community Service) as of right now. Our contract is up on January 18th. Im hoping to have something else lined up before then. Things are in the works so pray for me. : )

First Blog

Well I just learned about this blogging thing yesterday at my friend Celeste's house, and I was interested to see what it was all about...so here goes. Im a 27 year old Army wife and mother of 1. Anthony is going on his fourth year in the Army. Our daughter Abigayle is 8 going on 28, most of you other mothers understand what I mean by that. We recently moved to Fort Riley Kansas and my husband is now a part of 4th Brigade 1/28 Black Lions.



I must say that moving to Fort Riley has definitely been a huge change for us. My dad was in the Navy so Im used to moving around alot, but this time was different. This is my first time actually moving away from home and not having any type of family around. So as you can guess it was a pretty big shock to me. Im still trying to get acclimated to the situation. Luckily I have been able to make some friends here and there. But needless to say I miss home...LOTS! No place is like Texas. : )
