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.

NEW YORK

New York was so much fun! We got there on Saturday and left on Tuesday! Our hotel was in Times Square! On Saturday night my mom and I went to see the Little Mermaid on Broadway! It was amazing! On Sunday we walked 11 1/2 hours! Talking about my feet hurting. We went to Central Park, The Brooklyn Bridge, China Town, Little Italy, The Rockefeller Center, Ground Zero, St. Patricks Cathedral and I cant forget The Naked Cowboy. And we shopped until we dropped. Literally! On Monday we went to the Upper East side,and SOHO. We did so much i can barely remember where all we went. I know you are probably wondering if we saw the Statue of Liberty! We were going to because I wanted to see it so so bad! But we heard from a girl in a shop that we shouldn't waste our time because it is so little. And the only way to get there is by a boat that took 2 hours. So we decided not to go and see it and just shop a little more! So we found a Statue of Liberty on the street and took a picture with it! One of the ladies that went with us lived in New York for 6 years. So she was our tour guide. So we basically just followed her! ha ha! It was so much fun! In the last picture is all the girls that went! My mom, Janet (the one that lived in NY for 6 years), Kristine, and Me.

Sniper School gone bad

Well Blake went down to Ft. Benning, Georgia and once he was there he was told that there were too many people scheduled to be in the class. They sent him back to Washinton and he will be trying at Sniper School again, but this time he will be in Washington. Sniper School is coming up to Ft. Lewis! YAY for us! It is the same thing as if he were in Georgia, but it will only be 4 weeks instead of 5 and he can come home every night! So that is my favorite part! Sorry it has taken me so long but I have been so busy! I will update on Blake and sniper school in May!

Happy Early Birthday Blake

Well on April 14th, Blake will be turning 24. Since he will be in Sniper school on his birthday i decided to celebrate it before he left. So On April 4th I surprised him with a cake and some presents! After we went out to eat with some of our friends and went to a karaoke bar with some other people! Oh fun times before he left!

Leaving Washington

Well it is almost time! Blake will be leaving Washington on Saturday for Sniper school! He will be going to Fort Benning, GA, where he will be gone for 5 weeks! He will get there on Saturday and process through and go to the shooting range on Sunday. He has to do well at the shooting range because if he doesn't he will be disqualified. So pray that he does well! Then on Monday he will have to pass his Physical Training Test, if he does not pass then he will be disqualified, so be praying for him on Monday too! He will graduate on May 9th.

I will be leaving on Monday to go to Alabama. Since I do not have a job at the moment I thought that this would be a great opportunity to go home and see my family! Which I am so excited! My mom and I will be going to New York on April 12th through April 15th. I cannot wait to go! I have never been to New York but Blake tells me that I will love it!

I will be able to see Blake while he is in sniper school, so I will update later and maybe with some pictures!
