Military Reminders.

So these last few days have been kind of crazy. Yesterday was the Marine Corps 236th birthday which reminds me how I am not with my "marine corps family" It's funny how close all us girls got because most of our families weren't in the area, and we had each other to lean on in times of hardships and successes. Today is Veterans day, and I can't stop thinking about how these men and women devote their lives to the service. It's amazing to me and I am so truly grateful for the past, present, future service men and women and I pay special tribute to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. It makes me teary eyed as I write this because I think of my amazing friend Stacia, and her husband Larry D. (every time I hear Party in the USA I think of Larry D and Stacia.) Larry was a true hero and saved his brother in the middle of a firefight and I am grateful to have known him and his beautiful wife.
Tomorrow will be one year since I picked my husband up from his seven months in Afghanistan. I still to this day know that day was the best day of my whole life. When I saw Dave's face for the first time in seven months and knew that he was as safe as any civilian gets I just started crying and smiling at the same time. I am so grateful that he is home now and I get to see his shiny, happy (well not all the time happy) face. He is still my best friend and I am so happy to have found him.
But it still seems so weird to be starting a civilian life, I see my friends facebook and posting pictures of homecomings, Marine Corps balls, and it feels weird to not be in that family anymore, don't get me wrong I am grateful to be home with my own family and away from deployments and field ops, but it still seems weird.

I like comments too.

I feel like everyone who reads my blog doesn't leave comments anymore and I wish you would.

School is going amazing. I am really understanding cutting. It's fun and I love to see the finished result. Coloring has been good but I'm having a hard time with it. (Not really but I am not getting the lightener saturated through the hair so I end up with blond on top with brown on bottom.) I have only done it on a doll head but I will for sure be extra careful when it comes to people's hair.

Another thing is I love school and almost all the girls that go to school and the 3 boys that go to school, but there are SOME girls who are LAZY LAZY LAZY! I don't want to be like that. So back to the gym I go. I have successfully stopped drinking soda so far, and so far it hasn't tempted me so no worries there but I need to get moving again. I will just feel so much better about myself when I loose some weight. My face will be cute again and my hair wont look so stupid short.

Anyways, So I have a new obsession and it's called Cupcake wars. Seriously the Cupcakes they come up with are so creative and for the most part they look sooooo delicious!! I need me some cupcakes. I <3 Cupcakes. Which reminds me how I don't have Frostings cupcakes here, and that depresses me. It's in California, Speaking of that state, I miss pick-up-stix, like a lot lot lot.
