been where?

hello readers
I know, it has been a awhile so you probably have stopped reading but if you are, thanks =]
As I stare at a wall of boxes, I wonder where they will go. I have a few photos hanging right above my computer of my husband as he left, and I wonder what he is doing now. Where will we go? What will we do? I can’t wait to find out the answers! Its amazing what we will get to experience! I don’t have much else to say, but I will let you know where we go!

new roles.

the fiance was elected platoon leader in the city’s future soldiers program =]
guess that makes me ‘army mom’ for a while, how fun!
nothing actually happens in my role besides making sure he knows what he needs to.
now, most everyone probably thinks my family conned him into this choice but, it was his plan all along, just no one bothered to listen. how rude

new year old problems

as for “ringing in the new year” congrats to everyone that had a wonderful 2010, heres wishing to another terrific year. for the rest of you, condolances and lest all hope this ones better eh?
up coming delema; to move or not to move
pros and cons with both, hard choice either way.
I can move with the husband and only see him on the weekends AFTER about 5 months of training or not move and hang out with the 3 friends I do have and spoil the nieces and nephew on the weekends. I find myself torn between a place I havent been welcomed to but dont want to leave, or going to what I would consider a stranded island. what would you readers do? stay at the dismal current local with the safety net of a few friends or leave on an unknown trail as the ones I have close to me are left in the dust behind the tired tires of my mini van? Starting fresh has always been my specialty, it came with the childhood. Now the choice is mine within this cruel world suposedly to be of the adult type, I am not convinced that part is real yet. If I choose not to move, I will get another 2 semesters with the beloved bee eff effs and sisters without the happiness of seeing my new husband on the weekends. If I choose to move, I get to know that my husband is only 5 minutes away once he is permitted to have weekend leave, have zero friends, and have to move again in about a year. Either way I am still moving again so that point is irrelavent. I will continue to argue with myself until the utmost point of near no return that a choice will have to be made by.
Thanks for watching =]

present day media

It is the suttle unChristian tones that lace the media’s undertone.
A flash image in a commercial. Three words said in a song or over the radio. The non christian messages are all over the place. I would hate my kids to grow up with this all around them. The only solution I see is to have no TV, radio, anything, zero contact with the media world. I dont want my kids learning this behavior without knowing why. The way I see things now, my parents raised me perfectly. I do have some really great parental units. My father is a machine and knows everything, my mother is a nija, who also knows everything. I dont think parents get enough credit when it comes to raising kids. Its super tough, which in the next coming years I could possibly learn for myself along side my husband. Who I think will make an awesome dad someday.
enough of this.
figured I would visit my blog, havent done that in a while.
soon to post wedding planning updates!!!
Come Oct, I will have a suprise topic to write about!!!
thanks for reading =]

As I begin to piece little brainstorms together, I can see a wonderful picture.  Thinking of flowers, dresses, shoes, hair, and everything to put a pretty scene together.  Fancy words, sweet songs, and long glances at the one standing next to you. 

So why am I not floating on a cloud? It seems to rain often in my world, but don’t worry, where I come from rain is a good thing. So instead, I will put my play-date dress on and I do my favorite thing….. dance.
