Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016;

It is currently 9:07 pm here in Anchorage, AK. I thought I'd write a little bit since it's NYE(: This year was pretty interesting, full of changes. The biggest change being that I moved about 3,400 miles away from my parents. Yes I am aware that I am 25 (and in the military) haha but this is the farthest I've lived from my parents since coming out of the womb. Thank goodness for technology these days. I think I would be more of a mess and sad if I wasn't able to FaceTime with family as often as we do. I honestly do not remember anything I wanted to accomplish this year. But in 2016, I do have a couple goals in mind: get my CCAF,  get promoted (maybe, let's see how much studying I can get in before my test), get fitter/more active (I've recently lost almost 10 lbs. Gained some weight in the last couple months and decided to get serious and stop gaining unwanted weight haha), blog and take pictures more often, and to spend as much time with family (even if Fac

Christmas 2015

Hello there! I cannot believe how close New Year's is already. It's insane, how fast this year has gone. Just felt like taking time to recap our first Christmas not only married, but (for me) away from family. Our Christmas was pretty good. Reece was home. We had red rice and ribs (which were marinated in the Borja secret recipe) for dinner. We opened up gifts as soon as Reece got home. I wish I had thought to take a picture of us with our gifts. But I'll just list was we all got(: Sarg got two DreamBones, a couple big bones, booties, and a stuffed elephant. Loki got two treat toys and more num nums, They seems to be so excited when we were opening up their gifts. Almost as if they knew exactly what was happening. Reece got a Harley Davidson calendar, a Husker's ornament, thick socks for the cold, Xbox Live, candy, a reusable ice pack, Jurassic Park shirt, undies, key finder, iWatch, Lego set (fire station), stress person, and "Oh Shit!" handles for his jeep

Our First Christmas Tree!!

Hello! It's been quite awhile. Just sitting at home with the boys, so I thought I would do a little update! Reece has been working a different schedule lately, he isn't home for a couple days at a time. He's kinda getting a break from work work, so that's nice. But we do miss him here at the house =/ especially Sarg I think. He seems to be a little moodier when Reece isn't home. He even checks the mudroom after I come home. I think he checks for Reece, see if he's coming in. Poor puppy. Anywho, life hasn't been too bad here in Alaska. A couple weeks ago we got a good amount of snow. I was alone so I had to learn how to shovel the drive way. Which isn't as bad as I thought it would be. November 21, 2015 I think we got at least 3 inches in Anchorage. I heard the Valley (Wasilla and Palmer area) got about 9 inches that night. So crazy! At least to me since I've never lived in an area where it snows like this. I love the way the world looks whe
