Cheers to the NEW YEAR!!!

I've been so busy with moving across the country getting settled into to a new home, a new city, and a new job that I haven't really been on here recently.  I've come to realize that I became too focused on being an Army Wife and stopped enjoying being an Army Wife, so here is to a new year, new adventures, new happiness, and a new ME.
With a New Year comes New Years Resolutions...dunt dunt dun....So instead of making one that is not realistic, I've decided to make goals that I know will last.
1) Journaling/Updating this blog once a week.
2) Walking or working out 3 times a week
3) Eating whatever I want, but in moderation of course
4) Doing something for myself like Starbucks, painting my nails, getting a haircut, quiet time, reading, ect... once a week(or more)
5) Scrapbook my wedding photos before my next anniversary August 1
6) Make my new house a home

Lately I've been really struggling with living in Lawton, OK.  It really isn't that bad of a place.  Yeah, there is not much to do here and the shopping for anything is mostly done at Wal-mart.  I just need to look at the positive side of it all.  Thank God I have a job and that we don't need anything so shopping for food and necessities is really all we do and luckily it call all be purchased at Wal-mart.  The holiday's and being away from my family really got the best of me.  I just feel like I have no friends here although I really do.  We have many other military families and my "non-related cousins", along with several of my co-workers.  In the end it is not home and in no way can I make it home.  At least I always know I have a wonderful loving and supportive group of people standing behind me back in Arizona.

Now that the holiday's are over the next thing we have to look forward to is February 14.  Yes this is Valentines Day, but better yet it is when Ryan finishes FA BOLC training and will be ready to take charge of his first Unit.  In the mean time we are still playing the waiting game on his Orders as well as housing options.  I'm so anxious to know when and where we'll be living, will he deploy, what will he be doing, how long will we be here....so many questions so much unknown.   All I do know is that this next year is going to bring great things to us and great adventures.  So here is to 2012!!!
Cheers to the NEW YEAR!!!
