Doggy Style

GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!

Since I don't have kids to post about I am going to post some pictures of my puppies!

This is how Abby lays pretty much all the time!

Other times she curls up into a ball

Gage is Three years old this year

This is what happens when Gage wants attention

He looks sad and he is because I am taking his picture instead of throwing his ball

I love my puppies! They are my joy each day!

A-School Graduation

Well the first leg in our Journey is coming to an end. CJ is officially MM3 Warren (petty Officer Third Class). To start this journey CJ had to go to school 5 days a week for 9 hours, PT 3 days a week for an hour and studies 2 hours 6 nights of the week. Any one counting how many hours a week CJ puts in? 60 Hours each week! Along with studying CJ was the Class leader and had many duties outside the class as well. He stayed in the top four throughout the semester (3 months) and Graduated with 3.57 out of 4.0 which put him third in his class! I am so proud!

SO the next stage is Power school which all the hours I told you about, well they come back to haunt us but this time for 6 months. We are not quite sure when CJ starts school again could be as early as April 28 or as lat as June.

Five Years

What a difference five years can make...

I was still attending NAU and pursuing my dream to be a teacher and was trying not to focus on boys. I was excited to be with the kids and I loved staying out and talking with great friends! I did not know who I was going to marry or where it would lead me.

Five year plan as of 2006: Graduate and student teach in Prescott Valley, then pay off school loan for a year and go on a mission for the LDS church. I had all the plans done and I was ready to check each one off!

Well it started off pretty great. I did graduate with honors and I was head back home to PV and I started in the Fall. I was able to attend the singles ward and made some great friends and that is when things started to change...

I met a boy haha one that asked me out nontheless it was great and it was a fairy tale! Everything happened so fast and next thing I know I am married and as happy as can be!

NOW Five years later I a Home owner and renting out the house, I live in South Carolina being the best and most supportive wife I can be for a husband who wants to serve his country! I use jargon like Military time, Petty Officer, NSU, NWU, over, badge, ID, Commissary, NEX, BAH... And the list goes on and ON!

I love my life and I can't wait to see what else happens!
