The Beginning of a New Year...In March.

I am a little irritated with myself. It seems like I cannot keep constant blogs coming!! So here is my first blog of the year, better late than never right?!
Our Christmas was fantastic. Once again we were able to go home and spend great quality time with everyone we love. It was a great little escape from the craziness of our military lives until we started our trip back to Texas on New Year's Eve.
Once we got back into town, the craziness began! David's battalion was given a new mission at the beginning of the year so that has led to a lot of training and field problems. In all honesty, that's really what our year has consisted of so far. Stress, training, laundry, stress, cleaning, more training, more stress, and more laundry!!! Luckily, living in Texas means springtime is here very soon so no matter how stressful our lives are (mainly David's) everyday the sun is shining, it is a good day!!
Speaking of sunny days, we had a VERY sunny day yesterday!! David's battery put together a special family day for us and gave us the opportunity to travel to San Antonio and go to SeaWorld!! And even better, it was on a WORK DAY!! We were so excited! Great friends, roller coasters, penguins, roller coasters, dolphins, roller coasters, sharks, sunshine, roller coasters and Shamu!! (I later learned that it wasn't the real Shamu, it was just some really amazing Killer Whales. Don't laugh.) It was so much fun. I was a first-timer so I was like a little kid and a tourist all at the same time, taking a ton of pictures with a huge smile on my face!! When we left, not only did we have great souvenirs, we had our first sunburn of the year!! Yay!!







We also decided to take advantage of being in San Antonio and go to the Alamo! When we got there, we learned a lot! Firstly, we had no idea it was smack dab in the middle of downtown. Secondly, we didn't know that there was a lot more to the Alamo than just the building. Since we got there later in the evening, we didn't have enough time to look at everything but we got to go inside the Alamo and that's the main thing we wanted to see. We plan on making another trip to San Antonio fairly soon so we can see ALL of the attractions that the city has to offer.

The one on the right is Davie Crockett.

So that was a little snippet of the last 2 1/2 months. Coming up is my 24th birthday!! Yikes! Some St. Patty's parties and more field problems. I want to say that I promise I will become a better blogger...but I don't want to lie. But I will promise to TRY to become a better blogger.
