Going Back to College

This past Tuesday I started school again. When Blake and I got married I had 2 more years left of school with Faulkner. Since we have been here I have been telling Blake that I wanted to back to school. So I finally bit the bullet and registered with Troy University. They are based out of Troy, Alabama. And I am taking online classes. I am currently taking Classical Mythology, Into to Sociology, Physical Science, Physical Science Lab, and Speech. I am hoping to have my degree in 8 to 10 months.

Memorial Day

Well today was Memorial Day and a fun one it was! It started out with us having to get Blake's oil changed since it was 1,000 miles overdue!

We actually did have a good memorial day, we had our friends BJ & Hope and their daughter Dailyn come over. They are from Montgomery and BJ was stationed here. Hope and I met online through myspace last October and we have been friends ever since. Dailyn is 14 months and she is the cutest little girl. But she isn't a fan of Blake. Which is very weird, because all kids usually like Blake, but I think that Dailyn is just a Momma's girl. So today Blake and BJ grilled steaks for us! The food was delicious and it was so good to be able to spend some time with friends since we couldn't be with our family!

But speaking of memorial day I saw this quote and I think that it truly describe what today is actually about!


"Memorial Day
A day to remember
True American heroes
Gone but NEVER forgotton"

Sniper School

Yesterday was the first day of Sniper School here in Washington. Blake is officially in the class so we dont have to worry about that anymore. But he still have to pass everything that comes along in the class. So keep praying for him. He will be going to work very early and not coming home until very late everyday for a month. He only gets 3 Sunday's off this whole month. But I know that he is so excited about getting his Bravo 4. If he does well in the class (which he will) his graduation date will be June 6th. So I will be taking pictures on graduation day and will post them.

New Blog layout

Well my friend from back home Leigh started blogging and she had this really cute background. I was a little jealous because I didn't see that when I started to blog so I found out where she got it and when I went there I found this background and I thought that it just fit us so perfect. The background is actually Seattle. We live about 45 minutes south of Seattle. The big tall thing is the Space Needle. This is a revolving restaurant. It takes 44 minutes to make a complete circle. It is an amazing view when you are up there. So if you ever want to come up for a visit Blake and I will take you! Promise!

Cirque du Soleil


On Sunday Blake and I went to see Cirque du Soleil in Seattle. It was amazing. I wish that I could have taken pictures of the actual show but they would not allow it. This is the tent in the background that the show was in.
