getting the hang of this blog thingy =0)

So I'm playing around with this blog and well I'm starting to dig it =0)!!

Anyhoo- I've recently made a few decisions that have me super stoked!! Here we go:
#1~Since my hubby is getting a new bike when we leave Japan ( a Harley) I am taking and learning to ride his current bike (a Yamaha V-Star Classic 650)!! So I was totally terrified when he bought the bike almost 3 years ago, refused to get on it.... got on it, didnt care for it waited & waited got on it again LOVED it!! So now, with the incentive that he will paint it up girlie for me, I am gonna be a biker chick!!

#2~ I am getting a new tattoo for my birthday (okay so it's not til Feb. big deal). I've always wanted a chest tattoo but couldn't seem to come to an agreement w/ the husband on what would look "good". BUT finally we agreed on one!! I'm getting a stick of T-N-T w/ some other stuff to symbolize my little Toby and Travis! I can not tell you how super excited I am!! This will be my 9th tattoo but def. not the last!!

Okay so thats not a ton of decisions but whatever, still exciting to me!!
Also- I have lost 20lbs sooo far in my battle and am hoping to have another 40 off by Feb. It has actually turned out to be really fun except when I get the urge to make cupcakes which I totally give into...... ooops ^_^!

On a totally different note I would like to voice my opinion on an important matter.....
Dear U2~
You were kinda cool back in the 80's and even held out with a few good songs in the 90's but PLEASE PLEASE for the love of all things good take this time in 2009 and go ahead and retire... do it for yourselves and anyone with ears...think of the children!

Alright that is it! Go hug someone you love!
Peace v(^_^)v

So okay thus far I've sucked at the blog thing. My hubby has been on leave though so I've been sucking up the mommy daddy time for all its worth!
I am such a proud mom right now! Toby has been in school 3 weeks and managed to stay on green the entire time! He and 5 other kids got to have lunch with the teacher and watch cartoons today!! It seems silly but really knowing your kid is being well behaved in school is a HUGE thing!
I've come to a horrid realization though.... I'm getting OLD! Seriously.... My oldest kid is in school, I have grey hairs(new ones show up every day I swear!) I read for fun, I exercise.....who am I?!?! Okay maybe it's not that drastic but some days it seems like it! There are times when a group of teenagers will be in the PX or bowling alley and really I wanna smack 90% of them.... was I really like that as a teenager I surely hope not! (But prob. so haha) Anyhoo just thought I'd do a bit of bragging (and complaining) I'm off to the stove to make dinner!
*LOVE*

So I decided to start a blog....not that I think anything I have to say is particularly important but i thought it would be fun =0)!
So for my first (non-myspace) blog I thought I'd do a quick run-down of how I got to this point in my life.
Alright so I'm 26, married w/ 2 AMAZING boys! Living in Japan due to my husband being in the Army. As of now I am a stay at home mom...housewife....household c.e.o. whatever you want to call it.
I had a pretty normal childhood, graduated high school in 2001. Worked a bunch of b.s. jobs blah blah blah. Started "hanging out" with the most amazing man ever in April 03 and married him in June 03. We told very few people we were getting married and ran of to Alabama to do it after a huge 3 day "engagement" and that has set the pace and tone of our 6.5 years together. In July 03 I found out i was pregnant! Not exactly what I had expected out of the first month of marriage but a total blessing none the least. In March 04 our first son,Toby was born. In Nov 05 my husband joined the Army. In July 06 we moved to Fort Sill,OK... not the most exciting place on earth, but we got by and had a pretty good time doing it =0). In May 08 our second son, Travis, was born. One week later we found out Caleb got orders to move to Japan...in 2 months! So in Aug. 08 we flew what seemed like FOREVER and made it all the way across the globe. One year later we have the present.
