Yes, I know I'm a bit late! I went on a trip to the states and decided that it would be better to make my resolutions when I got back. So here we go...
Resolution #1- Fold the laundry when it comes out of the dryer!
I am notorious for not doing this. In fact, I HATE folding and putting it away. Generally it just piles up on top of the dryer or in laundry baskets until it is no longer a pile but a mountain. But, no more! Honestly, this will probably be the hardest of my resolutions to keep.
Resolution #2- Get back to the gym and get in excellent shape.
I am super excited about this resolution. In October and November I went to the gym 3-4 times a week. I felt great and even though I didn't lose a single pound, I felt better about myself and looked a bit more toned. I fell off the wagon in December when family came and then it was the holidays and then I went to the states to visit with family. I know, not very good excuses. If I wanted to, I could have kept up with my routine through all of that but I didn't. I was being lazy. Not anymore! I am going to start my running routine again and I am also starting the 30 day shred videos. I'm starting the 30 day shred because it is hard for me to do anything other than cardio with Bella because their is only a place for her to play in the cardio room. This way I have no excuse. I can do it in my living room. I think my weight loss goal is going to be 15lbs but not sure because I know that I have gained weight in the last month...just not sure how much. That I will find out tomorrow when I go to the gym. I hope to lose the weight by March 23rd which is our battalion ball.
Resolution #3- Start working with Bella more on letters/numbers/writing.
Maybe it is just the teacher in me, but I do not want Bella to be average in school. I want her to excel. And if I can help her do that I am going to. She is already pretty smart for her age; however, I honestly cannot take a lot of credit for that. She amazes me with the stuff that she just all of the sudden knows. She knows most of the alphabet and her numbers up to 20. She is showing a lot of interest in writing and letters right now so I plan to start with those
Well, there they are. Shouldn't be too hard to keep these resolutions...well except for the one about folding the laundry lol.
Until next time...

So...I've been contemplating starting a blog for a while now. Not really sure why it has taken so long but here it goes!
Here's the synopsis of my life for those of you who do not know me:
I was born and raised in Florida and I love, love, love it there. I have amazing parents who have always been there for me no matter what. I have 3 sisters, 3 step-sisters and a step-brother. I have a bunch of nieces and nephews too! In 2005, I married the love of my life. Two years later on our anniversary we found out we were expecting. In August of 2008, I gave birth to my amazing daughter. Her birth changed my life forever. She brings so much joy and laughter to my life, I can not imagine my life without her.
For most of our marriage my husband was a golf pro at a local golf course and I was a teacher at a local Christian school. In 2010, we made a decision that would change our lives forever! He joined the U.S. Army (active duty). He left for Basic Training on October 25th...that was one of the hardest things that I have had to do up to this point in my life. I went from seeing and talking to my husband everyday to not knowing when I would see or talk to him again. Yeah it sucked! Anywho, he graduated basic and then went on to his training (AIT). After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, we finally found out where our first duty station would be...we would be heading to Ansbach, Germany. The day I found this out is still a blur LOL! In mid-July my daughter and I boarded a plane that would take us almost 4,000 miles away from my home, my family, and everything I had ever known. It was tough, but knowing that my husband was waiting for us on the other side of the ocean helped me through it! Now here we are in Germany. I am so happy to be a family once again, it feels great! I intend to cherish every moment because after all I am an Army wife and that means that the Big "D" word is not far away...yes, deployment. I'm sure I'll get more into that when our time gets closer. I have met so many amazing people over here...my Army family is amazing and I love everyone of them.
I plan to share what is going on in my life as an Army wife so that my friends and family can keep up with what's going on in my life way over here in Germany. From time to time I may also use this as a way to vent...because Lord knows the Army can be quite irritating at times. Please note that any future vents DO NOT mean that I do not support the Army or my husband. I will always support my husband and his job no matter what; however, everyone needs to vent sometimes, right!? The next few months are going to be filled with so many amazing memories and I can't wait to share some of them with everyone!
Until next Time...
