Discouraged...

Everyone knows our situation with waiting from day to day to hear if we are approved or not approved to go to Korea. Well, in the meantime, we are still checking his AKO acct. to find out what his projected orders are, and this morning we got them. I will not be saying where they are too, because for one, Weston doesn't even know yet ; ) But it's not any of our choices that we had down. I just feel discouraged because this whole experience has been rough. Korea has been a nightmare at times, and I just really wanted the Army to cut us a break and give us somewhere decent. The hardest thing, is that most branch managers after having a one year hardship tour, let you pick your next base as long as there is an opening... we seem to be getting the worst of everything!  At least one good thing if we do stay in the states, we get to jump up in the housing waiting list. He will get back dated from the time he got to Korea. So we will have a good chance at getting on post housing I hope!

I don't mean to sound so negative, I'm just really disappointed. The base we are projected to go to is the one base from the beginning I said I didn't want to go to. But as long as our family is together we can make the most out of anywhere we are. So now, I just need to TRUST God! I know He is watching out for us, and I am just waiting to see where we will be going.... trying my absolute BEST to be patient.

Marlins Vs. Yankees

These are the video clips of Ama's first Tee Ball game! My brother and sister were nice enough to film for me, since I was busy helping out on the field and off. We had a lot of fun, but it was SOOO hot! We were all soaked with sweat. Ama played first base, but started getting frustrated half way through, so we moved her to second base. It was their first time playing the game and they had all kinds of things being yelled at them, so several of the kids were having some meltdowns on the field. But, I am SO proud of her, she's still the best one out there! And she can hit so good too! Enjoy!



Some mid-week RaNdOmS!!

* Ama is playing second base for her TBall team!! Woo hoo! Not to mention I played second base in high school! I just have to brag for a minute ; ) while she was hitting I heard all the other parents just going on and on about her, about how good she is and how good she hits the ball. She really impressed me, because not only did she hit the ball every time she swung, but she hit only the ball! Most of the kids, and I would expect Ama to also, but alot of them hit the tee along with the ball, or they hit the tee only... I was very impressed with my baby girl! This Saturday is her first game and I'm so excited!!

* The heat! It's reaching the triple digits down here!!It's not even summer yet and it's miserable... and the gnats make it worse...

* We are getting close to the weekend which means my family will be here! We are excited about them coming!

* I am attempting to wean myself off of caffeine... specifically Coke. I love Coke!! Which brings me to my next thought...

* I'm so ready to lose weight and get it off for good. I bounce up and down with my weight and I'm getting to the point of just being so tired of being overweight. It has a negative impact on everything! I will be trying something new to help me lose weight sometime here in the near future... If it helps me, and I like it... I will share with you! But one of the things I will share with you now : ) I met a girl in Basic training, her last name was Winkler, and I called her Wink Wink, she called me Grine Grine. She was one of those friends that I knew I would have for life. I have so many memories with her, we pushed each other... especially during PT, and especially the running part : )  She is an Independent Team Beach Body Coach, and I'm so proud of her! She is on her journey to lose weight and she is doing awesome! I can really tell that she has a passion to help others lose weight too! You can go to her website and sign up for a FREE acct. to let her coach you and you can use some Beach Body tools online and track your progress! You don't have to buy any products, it can strictly be used just for motivation.  Right now she has a summer weight loss challenge that is fixing to start soon, and there's a prize ; )I'm SO in!

* I have yet to start cleaning to get ready for my parents this weekend, why do I always procrastinate? I think I just like stressing myself out! Not like I have that big of a space to clean anyways ; )

* And no... we have not heard anything about being approved or not approved for Command Sponsorship, I wish!

I hope everyone has a fantastic rest of the week!!
