Update

I haven't posted in quite some time. We've had lots of visitors the last couple of weeks and I got a job!! Yay!!

Over the last couple of weeks we have lots of firsts! We got professional pictures taken for the first time (see bottom), we had our first Thanksgiving in our own place, we got our first Christmas tree together, and we put up our first Christmas lights up on our house! It's so exciting. It's not our first holiday season as a married couple, but just living together!

We also went to a marriage enrichment/enhancement class that we thoroughly enjoyed. We aren't having issues within our marriage, but it was an amazing experience and it has put lots of things into perspective! We both agree that we have never been happier and that we are very thankful that we were able to take that class!

Next on the list is my amazing friend Jamie. Her and her two sons are coming to Beaufort! I can't wait to see Emerson and finally meet Callan!! Ah! Less than a week! YAY! Jamie is the lady that I had lived with for 5 months in California while Evan was away for training. I miss them so much so I cannot wait to see them!!

Change? Ha.

Just the mere 'idea' of this "3-year freeze on military pay" makes me sick.

My husband has 3 years left on his 5 year contract with the Marine Corps. Where would this 'idea' leave us, if it followed through and got past Senate and the House? It would leave us, as a military family, behind!!!

We scrap as it is! It's hard enough to live on the housing, food, and basic pay that we get now! And if it's frozen for 3 years!?!?! Hello! Yes, the economy needs to get better, but this is -NOT- the way you do it! You can't just freeze your military's pay!!! Their families would get left behind as the cost of living continues to go up. We don't live in the lap of luxury as it is, so it would only go down hill!

Besides...

Military doesn't get paid nearly enough for the jobs that they do. I mean, come on!!! They risk their lives for each and every American out there. They risk their lives and get paid next to nothing, while your favorite professional sports players, singers, and actors/actresses are all making enough to last them 10 lifetimes?

Also...

Another 'idea' to cut the government's deficit is to get rid of some of the Marine Corps aircraft. That sounds asinine to me. Plane asinine!!

My husband is not at all happy with this so called idea and neither am I. It doesn't make since and it is not fair to your nation to freeze pay and create more ciaos amongst the military members. It's not easy as it is, living this lifestyle, so go ahead, make it harder on us by making it even -more- difficult on us financially. Thank you. -sarcasm-.

It's not entirely the military's fault that the government is in such debt. They've always been in debt. So I guess in order to get them out of that debt, it's time to use us as pee-ons. Go figure.

Is this the change you were talking about, Mr. Obama? I hope you're happy, America.

Venting About Forgetting

Here I am. Sitting staring at this blank blogger screen and thinking what should I write about tonight? I've been sitting here with this page open for hours now with nothing to write about til....now....

While the husband has been on duty all night long, here it is, 0130, and I am browsing facebook. That's enough to get my brain working enough to be able to blog about something...

Okay, I get it, Halloween was the other night, but that doesn't mean you can just skank around all over my news feed with pictures. I don't want to see your "sexy" outfits. I don't find them too "sexy", maybe that's just me.

Man I sound really angry tonight. But for reallllll!! I have seen so many skanky pictures recently that have been floating around the internet of people that I know. If it's not from Halloween, it's from clubbing, partying, etc, etc...

It's weird because I was never the type to ever flaunt myself the way that most of the girls out there do...can you say class?

Am I such a humbug because I am now that old married woman? Sure. I just wish people would see how bad they actually look. No one cares. Really, put some clothes on, and stop making yourself look so, for a lack of a better term, easy.

I remember my dad telling me a guy likes a woman more when they have class...

Stop forgetting you're a lady. Remember your clothes and have pride in yourself because you're making the rest of us look bad....
