broken promises...

If you can't trust a blogger who can you trust? So much for my promise to blog more often. And it's not like I don't have any topics to blog about, just lack of time to type them out. Yeah I'm that high in demand. :o) With our weather being so rainy and dreary the girls are bored. This week they had VBS which they were both excited for, anything to get out of the house. This was also my last week of school *happy dance*. I had a bit of a tiff with financial aid, apparently they can raise your tuition without notice. Nice! I was in tears about the extra $4200 but Christopher was sweet about it. He fixed it for me, I do love that man! All this just for a Web Design Diploma, now onto my Associates. I'll be attending a different school though. :o) I have however registered my domain and Bwell Design is officially open and ready to design your website. *lol* God bless my customers as I start this new adventure clueless. My first "real" site is for my SIL and her cake business. She is my guinea pig and will be grading me on my customer service skills. All my projects so far have been with make believe customers and they are so easy to please and love my work. :o) *omg* It's after eleven already, off to the treadmill, till next time chickadees!

happy birthday MSG...


He is still as sexy as the day we met and makes my heart skip a beat. We surprised him with breakfast in bed before he headed off to work. The girls and I made an awesome dinner and they helped me with making the ice cream cake. It was such a great family evening.

heroes day 2...

Superman!
Faster than a speeding bullet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Look! Up in the sky!
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman!
Not just any verison of Superman will do it has to be Christopher Reeve. My first teenie bop crush. I even collected the trading cards with the cardboard gum in the pack. I had such a huge crush on the man of steel who feared nothing.

one minute your up/the next down...

You know those days where you are feeling high, life is good and all is well in the world. Well that was how mine started. Everything was in place safe and sound. Christopher was just promoted, has a job he loves and is actually stateside still. Haillie and Abby are finishing up with school this week both passed and are excited for summer. I'm having a somewhat easy semester in school and am about to graduate on June 20 so I'm excited for summer too. Did I mention the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Wonderful kind of day. Then I decide to check out my school balance... can you feel the storm clouds rolling in? The screen is saying I owe $4200- in disbelief I call the school. I'm sure this is a mistake because I filed all my financial aid on time. Nope not a mistake and it gets better she proceeds to tell me I have till June 15th to pay it. I started question her because when I signed up I asked the representative a lot of question regarding money. At the time I wasn't working, Christopher was deployed and the recession was in the news. The money is what was holding me back from going to school. Repeatedly this man told me the same story, I would have three payments for so much and the rest would be taken care of by my student loan. All lies, even the grand total he gave me was wrong. To which the school's finanical representative told me the man that signed me up had no way of knowing any of that information. Lovely. I'm off to quickly start loan shopping and see if I can transfer my credits. Bet that was a lie too!

heroes day 1...

Hero (noun) - A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life.
My number one hero is my husband. I could not do the things he does and it amazes me that he can. He's been on three deployments, not once has he complained about having to go. He's always reminding me that this is his job. I could never even begin to imagine having to leave our girls for 15 months, 18 months or a year at a time. He's lived in conditions that just blow my mind. Imagine burning your own waste or getting one cold shower a week. And he has never complained. I'm amazed and proud of his courage and strength. On top of all that, like saving the world isn't enough, he makes sure the girls and I know we are loved. I love him for his strength and courage, he is definitely my Hero.

i promise to blog (yeah right!)...

You know the drill (excuses)... life's been hectic here, the dog peed on my laptop, I'm in such high demand I just don't have the time blog. Whatever! *insert eye roll here* Before I dive in to all the what's going on around our home I want to thank Ness from “A Military Wife’s Mayhem!”. Thank you for the award and I promise to pass it along today!

NaBloPoMo's new month startes tomorrow, June's theme is HEROES! Sign up on their blogroll.
Now onto our regularly scheduled blog of family updates... Christopher was promoted to Master Sergeant and will be kept on at King's College as an ROTC Instructor for another year. We celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary! And there are rumors that deployment #4 is coming in 2011. *insert bad words here*
Haillie turned 13 and is only two inches shorter than me. I swear she was just in diapers a day ago. She was invited to join the Junior Honor Society but didn't make it due to her lack of community service. Nevermind that her GPA is 3.95 dumb old Honor Society people. I wouldn't of put that stupid bumper sticker on my car anyway. She is going to England next year with school and is all excited. Dad and mom who are flipping the bill not so much. My baby in another country scares me!
Abby also had a birthday and turned 10, no more babies in our house. God bless her and I love her but she is the laziest child. So this summer is all about making her more independent and responible. She is so ready for school to be over and is already planning what friends come over on which days. We are also trying to decide what instrument she will be taking up for her first year of band. She keeps changing her mind and keeps asking which one is easier to learn. *omg* Kick the lazy monster to the curb and pick one already!
Oh that leaves me *my turn! my turn!* I will be graduating on June 20! And do you know what that means? Absolutly nothing, apparently I really can't get a job with a Web Design Diploma. Um funny cause I remember asking that question when I signed up. So now I'm looking to transfer and held towards my Associates. I think that does it and we are caught up here. Turn in tomorrow for Mosaci Monday and my NaBloPoMo post.
