My Life

Well I feel really good today. I went to manhattan and helped a student from the high school pick out her jewelry and makeup for prom. My group DREAM provided the fund for her to be able to go to prom. Doing this now with her, made me realize how expensive its going to be when my children go...but I am looking forward to it none the less.

I learned a lesson today. Where ever there is succsess, there will be haters. I am still in the works of learning on how to deal with it. I guess I never figured why people would dislike people that work hard to get what they want. Maybe because I don't dislike anyone for being good at what they do, instead I try and learn from it, to help myself out in the future. I envy people who have it made, some have it made from the start, and others work their ass off to get where they are. Granted I have more respect for the ones that work for it, but thats just me.

I am finding myself grow as a person more and more each year. I look at people my age and realize that I am more mature, not because I chose to be, but because the experiences I have had in life. I like it, I don't mind but it does make it hard to find someone my age to relate with. Most of my friends are 30+. Not that its a bad thing, I envy them for going through their life and sharing their experiences.

Well My husband is doing good overseas. As best as to be expected. I miss him more and more each day. You know most people complain about deployments, I guess I look at it as it makes your marriage stronger. I know, I know I don't like deployments but through it all you have to find the positive or you will never get through it.

I miss my mother as well, she is overseas too, as well as my uncle. Go figure they would send all my family to Iraq/ Afghanistan all at the same time. I am used to it though, the Army is my way of life, and I know it can be hard but there are alot of great things that come from it too. I just wish everyone else around me would see that. I always get "aww you poor thing", my response it "don't feel sorry for me, feel sorry for the families that don't have support".

Well I need to get off here, I have laundry and dinner to finish up.
