A Snapshot of a Military Wife Life: I suck at life, but I'm wicked cool

Okay, so that's a bit misleading. I don't suck at life (most of the time) but I do suck at blogging.

2011 was a bit of a crapshoot. Deployment really sucks the life out of me, and then add in two children (my precious little terrors), a new puppy (what was I thinking?), and a lot of illness and injury (mostly my own!) and you can see why I haven't written much.

It's a new year now. 2011 is history. 2012 is finally here. It hold the promise of greatness. I am ready.

It started off right, margaritas and homecoming sign making. Does it get much better? Well... technically, it totally does, but for me, it was a pretty good way to start. Minutes after the ball dropped I stepped outside to do something I shouldn't do, but while I was out there, I saw a shooting star. I felt like I was a little girl, but I made a wish. I know it will come true.

Deployment is almost over. {pause} HAPPY DANCE {un-pause} and with that, comes a whole lot of happiness.

My kids are flourishing, although I really don't know how being as I am barely keeping my head above water. I am lucky, I guess, that I have very intelligent and adaptable children. We got a dog, Duke, who is a 9 month old Scottish Deerhound. Basically, we now own a small horse. Not much else to say other than I'm going to write a bit every day now. I know I need to do something, for me, which is what this is. If anyone else reads it, then yea

Other big news is that I got a DSLR camera (being as this is supposed to be a "snapshot" blog...) so here's some of my favorite pictures from the last few months.
