Okay before i start i would just like to caveat my terrible upkeep of blogging with being super busy and the internet here STINKS! so much... and I have no patience to sit around and watch a screen load for 30 minutes...grrr

Anywho, I am gonna be a bit sentimental to start off...Yesterday was the 9.11.2001 anniversary. It was also the day my family thought we had lost our hero. We had just moved to Va and my dad was jsut starting his job at the Pentagon. i remeber sitting in class as our teacher told us what had happened, my mom comes rushing into my classroom saying we have to leave...My mom, little brotehr and I drove to pick Scott up from highschool, the whole time I was telling my self , do not cry, and praying harder than I ever had before. As we were getting out of the car in the school parking lot we get a phone call. I just hear my mom saying thank you so much...she hung up and dad was okay. Scariest moment of my life. As much as my family can get under my skin I would be lost with out them. Yesterday just reminded me how lucky I am. So pray for those, because it still hurts me to even think about it, I can't imagine what those who lost loved ones are feeling.

My brother, Scott sums it up much better than i do, "Ten years ago today I thought I lost my hero. Fortunatley, Al Queda couldn't get superman. It'll be old age and dimentia that get poppa bear."

Okay sappiness over.

In other news, I miss my puppies like crazyyyy. We floated the river again this weekend and it was fun. We went to the riverwalk and the Mercado for dinner. I had a prickly pear margarita...best thing ever...and of course ate some nom nom mexican.

I passed my pt test got a 289 out of 300...not my best but pretty good. Ill take it. Madeleine also introduced me to birchbox.com if you haven't checked it out please do. Definitley a cool idea.

I am the Company First Seargeant this week which means I am in charge of 370 people, have to know where they are and what they are doing...ugh not my favorite job. I also have a midterm, a test on chemical, radiological, biological, and nuclear attack this week, and a presentation due. On the brighter side I have today off and tomorrow we are doing shots and filling out our wills.(sounds morbid but its an easy day).

Also, there are wildfires in our training area....pretty scary but i think they put em all out.

I miss all my friends and cannot wait to see everyone again. The way its looking ill be in pensacola for Halloween and Fort Bragg a few days after..holla
