Hey readers! Okay to start off, we have been living on base in our current house since March. I definitely like this housing area better than the other housing development when we first moved here. Most people seem to be more mature and have less parties than the other place (which is always a good thing!). There are always mommy and me meet-ups during the weekdays which keep us(Levi and me) busy, especially when Thomas deploys. I have met some friends whose husbands are in the same battalion which will be good when they are gone that way I will always have some one to talk to.
Speaking of friends, I have met few life-long friends along my journey as a Military wife so far, but many temporary friends. Why you may ask? Reason being is because not everyone we/I meet are headed in the same direction and career path as we are. I mean, we will be nice to anyone really, but to have that bond as true friends takes a lot more. For me personally, a life-long friend is someone who has the same morals and beliefs as us..not saying we are too good and can't hang out with some one because they aren't the same, but this is just very important to us as a family and a couple. Some people don't like it and that's fine :-/ Secondly, it would be easier if a couple desired the Marine Corps like we do. Obviously we don't like it 100 percent of the time, but it's what and who we are. And some of you reading this are probably thinking I am "too picky" or what ever, but this is what is important to Thomas and me :)
I am so glad that we go to church. We are not perfect nor will we ever be, but the church building is a place where we can put all things aside and worship our God! I don't know everything and I am not trying to make it seem like I do, but I know what I know and I am ALWAYS wanting to learn more!! We have met a young couple (even though they are older than us), that we feel like we can relate to. Not many couples go to church especially in the Marines, but I am so glad we found people like us! We don't know them very much yet, but i have been praying that we can all grow together in our marriages and in Christ as friends :)
Finally, mommyhood! I love it. Everything about it, even the trials we go through (example:baby constipation right now..boo!!) I love Levi's smile. I love breast feeding him. I love cloth-diapering!! I am anxious to see who he will become, but I am living everyday and soaking it all in! I hope this blog wasn't too random and wasn't too boring but these topics have been on my mind and I finally decided to blog about it. Have a wonderful day!
