Tan lines and Training

I can't believe it's March still - granted it's the last day - however, it's still March. It's March, 85 degrees and I got my first tan lines of the year!!! I can't believe it. This is where I spent my afternoon reading and soaking in the rays and listening to the birds chirp. Below is my gorgeous view of the neighborhood...Might be a little red, but it was so worth it and even the hints of a slight burn feel good!No those aren't dirty toes, just a lil brown from the wonderful sun! Flip flop tan lines are my favorite!
So bring on the summer. Shoot, bring on Spring! As long as it stays this beautiful, I'll have nothing to complain about! Before too long, it'll be time to uncover and fill up the community pool. Oh man, I can't imagine any way I'd rather spend my days after work other than laying out by the water. I can hardly wait.

Until then, I'll keep working on getting outside to relax and also to train. PT test is coming up next month. The sun rises earlier and sets later = more time outside for the dreaded running. At least it'll be outside...

Craft Time!

So I had a lil girl's3rd birthday to attend and I wanted to try out a craft project I had seen - I thought it'd make the perfect gift. So I did a test project first. Turned out pretty good - I'm keeping the test one for myself =)

After making the test one, I had to go buy some more crayons and picked out the pretty pinks, purples and yellows that would accent her purple/daisy room. It's fun to make and looks crazy cool when you're done! Happy birthday, lil J!

DA Photo Fun

So it's not often that I put on my Class A's - and thank goodness for that! But I had to get my DA photo taken this month...so I figured I'd have a lil fun and shoot a photo myself. Should use this on my ORB (Officer Record Brief) instead of the boring ones they take, this would get me a promotion tomorrow =) Bahahaha

OMG...

I can't believe I didn't post about Tour de Dakota!!!! It was only the best road trip/vacay ever!!! Can't wait to show it up at TDDD =)

Why I do What I do

So, what's the point of doing at least one of these each day...

So I can eat a whole package of these... =)

Happy working out everyone!

way behind.

Well, I have a friend that was excited to find out I had a blog, but then quickly told me she does not follow bloggers that do not update - a not so obvious hint that I need to get back on the wagon...so here goes.

Since my last post - a lot has happened. I live in Kansas. I've been back to Texas numerous times for trainings. I'm a full blown officer in the Army. My job position has already changed numerous times - with the latest change happening tomorrow. I went to the pumpkin patch with my cousin's family.

I made it back to cowboy days in Valentine and rode in the parade. Montana welcomed me and gave me my only hope at a white Christmas. Mom and dad came to visit around Christmas. I'm an aunt/God mother and met the adorable lil son of a gun in Washington...

This was a quick synapses of the past 6 months. I promise to stay on it and update more often. My life is not that exciting, but I can pretend it is =)

AMEDD BOLC Friends

Since one of my friends from BOLC has become an avid follower of this blog and frequently asks if I've updated yet, I figure I'll give him a shout-out. Here's to you, Daniel Boone:
Here's a few more from playing in the field the last three weeks. It feels great to be back in civilization!

Passing the time in the tent with Phase 10 and Candy = ) Also qualified on M16!!!

We survived the Gas Chamber but not looking pretty. At least Texas gives us pretty sunrises!

But at the end of each day, Melinda and I still look like kids dressing up for Halloween...
