So I had another blog, and deleted it, and I'm going to start again.  Well, I'm going to try to start again.  It seems I set these up and then forget about them, and never end up posting anything.  So here goes. 

For now, I think I'll just post a little about myself and then come back later to do an actual post.  If I remember =) 

I'm a mom to 3 great kids, Jacob, Destiny and Aleta (Ally).  Well, usually they're pretty great!  They are kids afterall, and they have their moments.  I'm married to the love of my life and though the Army is keeping us apart right now, we've been together for 11 1/2 years!  This coming May, we'll celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, hopefully together and not separated by a few thousand miles, but I'm not  holding my breath on that one just yet. 
I do crafty things, though not as often as I'd like to.  I've recently discovered the fun in making hair bows for my girls to wear, and for some friends' girls as well.  I'm not that great at it, but they still turn out pretty cute.  Most of them anyway =)  I also have made blankets for each of my girls and other random things.  I'm really not that crafty at all, but I like to try.  It's something I can do when everybody's asleep, without having to leave the house, and that's quiet and won't wake everybody up and ruin what little bit of quiet *me* time I might be able to steal at the end of those really stressful days.
Not very exciting, but it is what it is, and it's the life we've been dealt, and we do what we can and what we have to, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  Well, except for my husband to be here.  Everything else in life is trivial, I think.  The important part is sticking together and after that, everything else falls into place. =)
