My Life Right Now

I was going to write about basic training but I haven't felt in the mood to put myself through those emotions again, so when I have one of those days when I'm remembering, I'll write it all down. Right now I'm living in Goose Creek, SC. My husband started his second school a month ago. The dreaded Power School. It's actually not that bad. His A school was worse. He was always stressed out and T-track was so unpredictable that I was finally glad when that was over.

I finally feel like I have some stability in my life again. Zack has Power school, Monday-Friday. He's the PT leader so he gets up at 5:00am most morning. I wake up around 9:00am with Michael, Zack comes home for about 30 minutes at lunch and then depending on if he studies right after school or not he either gets home at 4:30pm and goes back into school around 6:00 and stays until 8:00 or 9:00pm or stays and is there until 6:00 or 7:00pm. Michael is down for bed at 9:00pm and we go to bed around 11:00pm. He usually has the weekends off, sometimes he studies but it just depends.

I am keeping myself busy with my little man, who is almost walking now. He does the cutest things. The other day Zack was telling him to go "Mwah ah ah ah ah" doing an evil laugh and Michael in a high pitched voice would repeat "ah ah ah ah then giggle" He's making all sorts of babies noises that adorable. He keeps me busy most the time.

I have also taken up cleaning and cooking. Both which were very foreign to me. The cooking is coming alone better than the cleaning. This week I am actually making dinner every night. I haven't burnt anything yet and everything has been amazing so far. My husband is eating it so I'm guessing that mean success! The cleaning on the other hand the kitchen and the living area have been pretty clean the past week, but Michael's room, our room and the guest room are messes still. I am working my way there though.

I feel like I need to get out more. I go to a breastfeeding group with some women once a week, which is great!  We sit around and talk about babies, weight we've gained or lost, pregnancy and our husbands. I also go on walks with a couple of girls sometimes in the evening when it's cool out. My child has been throwing fits at night so I've been going earlier in the day. 

I've thought about starting something at my house, that way I can get to know more girls here on base and it will help me keep the house clean. I really love living here in South Carolina. Sometimes I do get a little homesick, I miss my best friend a lot and I can't wait to see her at Christmas, but all in all I have a good time here. I'm making friends, not as fast as I would like to, but at least I know if I need something there are wives around me that would be happy to help.

Right now I'm very happy where I am, I'm not looking towards the future too much, and I'm not thinking about the past either. I love my family and the people that are in my life. I'm very happy with the Navy life, at least for now. We'll see when it comes to deployments if I like the Navy anymore. Right now though, life is good. I'm learning new things, meeting new people and loving my life! <3
