Montana.....

I thought moving to Montana was going to be a fun, exciting adventure for us, when in reality it's like living in hell. Ha. Really, we're so far away from family it's impossible to visit more than once a year if that. It's so expensive to travel home. The people here are incredibly rude, and half of the girls I meet are all drama. I am a very nice person, but if you do wrong by me, my kids, or my family, I'm done with you. That doesn't mean, you get to go around talking crap about me. I am an adult, so are you, act like it. There are a handful (well 3) people at this base I want absolutely NOTHING to do with ever! I have learned, it's a matter of he said she said.

My kids are MY LIFE, I WILL talk about them ALWAYS! They are the topic of 98% of conversations I have. If you don't like that then I don't care. I won't apologize for ANYTHING I have said or will say. If I said it, I meant it. As I said before, I am an adult, I will do whatever I choose to do. I don't care if you like it, agree with it or not.

But now, keep in mind, without meeting the bad, I'd have never met the good. I have some amazing friends here, and I will cry like a baby when we have to split our ways. The small handful of friends I have are the best. I wouldn't change them for the world. I am so thankful God has placed them in my life. We each have a best friend in each other. Seriously it's kinda divided up into two pairs of best friends for the whole bunch! It's amazing! I never thought I would have so much in common with these girls!

Choo and I have decided when we retire we're settling down in Soddy Daisy, TN. It's such a beautiful town and has everything we are looking for in a home town. I never see us and not being a military family, but I also never see us being able to be away from home for so long. I like the security the military offers. I don't have to wake up tomorrow and wonder if my husband will have a job in a week. I don't have to worry whether or not my bills will get paid. But I have to worry (not at the current moment but I will sometime in his military career) whether or not my girls will have their Daddy to tuck them in at night. I have to worry whether or not he's coming home to us safely. That's the hardest part.

As you all know Emmalyn was born. I haven't blogged in a long time. Emmalyn was born April 9, 2011. 4 pounds and 5 ounces. Just a tiny little thing fighting to breathe. She's now 7 months old and one of my two greatest joys in life! Weighing in at 15.1 pounds and 26 inches long she loves to eat and play with Caitlyn! Caitlyn is her best friend (aside from Mommy).

Caitlyn is just growing up way too fast. I look at her often and think where did my baby go? She's 28 pounds now and 35 inches tall! Too tall for 2t pants and too skinny for 3ts!
