Me = Awesome

I was born a Sagittarius.  It is said that we tend to be optimistic and have a great capacity for faith.  There was some other things that I read about, but lets just say it's not that important to mention (really....it wasn't anything negative....honestly), but I would have to agree with what I said above.  I believe that has a lot to do with how I was raised.  I'm a proud Navy "brat."  I truly think I'm a well rounded individual because of this.  My parents did a really good job with us kids considering the trials and tribulations (sorry mom and dad.  :().  I have an older brother, sister and a younger brother.  I wish I could say that the gray on my parents head is from old age, but I know it had a lot to do with us children.   We were......ummm........inquiring little things.  In retrospect, we should have never let our inquiring minds know, but as young'ins we really thought we knew best (rut row).  Half the time it just got us in trouble.  I just thank goodness it never led to any prison time (phew).  We are all now respectable citizens.  It's funny, growing up I always saw myself wearing that white/brown uniform as my father.  He is my hero!  Sometimes life doesn't pan out the way you may have expected, but hey......that's okay.  You choose your path and you go for it.  That's what I did.  I chose the Army and am very thankful for it.  Uncle Sam was originally a stepping stone in my life, but has become my life.  I've served the US for the past 16 years and am proud of it.  If it wasn't for the military I would have never met my wonderful husband Mike (koodos to me!) and I would never have had these 5.....yes FIVE fabulous kids.  Asia (14), Michayla (9), Gabriel (6), Nathan AKA Nate Dog (3) and Jayson (10 months).  I'm proud to serve my country.  In a nutshell..........I'm pretty freaking awesome.
*Thinks to self :   Is it wrong to have grandiose feelings about my own self-importance?..........NAH!  I'm awesome.  :)

Day 1 - Intimidation

Well….I did it!  I am officially a blogger.  A friend of mine recently messaged me and said this should be easy for me because I love to talk.  Well, there is a difference between jaw jacking and actually writing it down.  It’s a bit intimidating.  I think it has taken me 10 minutes to type the 5 sentences here.  Let’s call this a test and the next entry will be a brief bio of et moi!  Ahhhh…..the great thing about my blog is that it’s MY blog.  I can start and end it when I want.  THE END.
