Blog Time



I have a blog but I only have two posts in the last year and half. I have been thinking since my life has gotten a bit more interesting, not much just a bit, I will start writing here more often and maybe actually post some more pictures. I have two babies now, my little Squishy girl and my little Fat Man. Most of my blogs will most likely be about them, minus this one.

I told my mom that I was going to start a blog so that she could see all the cute pictures of my kids without having to get a facebook account and her comment was "so you can open up your life to child molesters?" Huh? I guess it's a possibility but the odds of someone finding my page, out of the billions of websites out there, and picking my children and then hunting them down are pretty slim. There is more of a chance of my child getting kidnapped in a grocery store then someone stocking my children because of my blog. Zac agreed with her and said "yeah I thats why I don't like my picture posted up on blogs either". Last time I checked Zac isn't a child, to me he seems like one but he is my husband. Children, husband, same thing right? In his defense, I think he meant that he doesn't want his picture posted up because he doesn't want people stocking him and he doesn't want pictures of the kids up because he doesn't want them stocked either. Whatever. I believe that his facebook photo is actually of him and our daughter and that is the one that everyone sees. He can't be that worried about it if that is his picture.
Lets see, onto that interesting part of my life..... Oh yeah.


My husband, Zac, has decided that he wants to join the military. This new adventure started one day while we were driving somewhere talking away and somewhere in there I mentioned that he should join the military. At the time I said that, I was only joking thinking Zac would find it funny and make some smart Zac joke about it. Instead he said something like thats a good idea, I think I will look into it tomorrow.

My first reaction was wow, now what do I really think and how do I really feel about him going into the military. Turns out I feel totally fine about it. Now to actually get him to look into it is the problem.

Sure enough the next day he started looking into it and researching things and then he made an appointment with a marine recruiter. We learned a lot about the military in general and we also learned that marines aren't that smart or helpful. The recruiter didn't seem to give a crap about Zac wanting to join. Once he found out that he only had a GED and not an actual high school diploma he was pretty turned off from that point.

Zac was still determined to get in some how. After talking with an army, air force, and navy recruiter and taking the ASVAB and getting an awesome score that pretty much guarantees him any job he wants in any branch, he has decided on the navy. He could get into the army right away, they have already offered him a spot even with only having a GED, but he really wants to go into the navy at this point. The army, to him, is a last resort.
Right now we are waiting for Zac to take the CLEP tests to get the college credit he needs to by pass a high school diploma and we think pretty much from there he is in.

That is the most interesting thing going on right now in my life. I am still a busy mom with two beautiful children and occasionally selling Mary Kay. Oh yeah and since the last blog, we have moved AGAIN. The story of my life now, guess being in the military won't be much of a change now will it?
