Forgiveness



Hello Everybody! Many of you know the hot stud muffin in this picture with me or at least know of him. Randy and I have been talking again since February. It would be an understatement to say that he and I have been through a lot together. We have both learned a lot about each other and our friendship has really matured. Over the past few months I have gotten to see Randy a few times and spend some quality time with him. He and I went to Panama City for 3 days and had a great time! We went para sailing, jet skiing, swimming in the ocean, go-kart racing (twice), and sat down at the outdoor bar for a couple of drinks and watched all the spring breakers. I even got him to dance with me for awhile! We spent a lot of time talking and basically just enjoying each others company. He will be in Texas with me for a couple of days. We are going to go to Six Flags! My first time ever and his first time going on a BIG rollercoaster. Don't worry, I will make sure and let you all know about his little adventures and thrills. Maybe I will even get some pictures! We have been having a great time so far and we are both looking forward to a great weekend!

Just Another Adventure


Hello Everybody! I just wanted to give you all a little update on what is going on with me leaving to Iraq. I will be in the Baghdad area sometime during the end of the summer to early fall. I will keep you all updated and let you know of anymore updates or details as they come. I hope that everybody is doing well and looking forward to their long weekend, I know I am.

Also...to all of those who are going to start worrying already about me leaving. I know that it is hard but don't worry, I will be there and back in no time! I will stay in contact while I am gone. You are all very special to me and I love you all very much. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement over the years. I will blog again soon about what else is going on with me so check in soon!

I Hit My Bunny Phone

Well, what can I say...trying to figure out how to change the template on my blog has exhausted me. I am not giving up though, I will figure it out...one of these days. Plus I have called my sister in law and she has helped me to start figuring things out! (I have never had a sister, I guess it wouldn't have been so bad.) I have been looking at other people's blogs trying to figure out what to put in my first 'real' post but I have realized that I can put pretty much write anything that I want!

I guess I will start with a little bit of what has been going on with me. I have been in class for the past five weeks for some training on a couple pieces of equipment for my job. (Air Traffic Control) It has been fun and I have learned quite a bit.

Sometime in May or June I will be going to the soldier of the month board and two months after that I should hopefully be going to the promotion board. All of this is just Army stuff and there is a whole lot more involved when it comes to getting promoted but going to the board is the main thing that has to happen before I get promoted. I have to take a PT test, qualify on my weapon, do Army correspondence courses (1000 hours of them), and turn in my civilian education for promotion points. So, no big deal...I will get all of that done also.

This is just a picture of me in Iraq. I figured that since I was talking about Army stuff I would put a picture in to go along with it.






To explain the address of my blog I will have to say that it came from my Dad. Everyday when he would drop me off at school he would ask me, "Question or Believe?" Many times I have chose to question. Needless to say this has gotten me into a few discussions and arguments but has also helped me to learn a lot about a great variety of subjects. So, thank you Dad! See I did listen to you when I was growing up! (And oh yeah, your birthday present will be mailed no later than Tuesday of next week. :-)


This is a picture that I took when I was in Seattle on leave. I was experimenting with the night time option on my camera. What do you think?

Also, can you figure out the title of this post? It is a spoonerism!

My Experiment



So...I realized that I enjoyed reading about the adventures of my brother, sister-in-law, and my new extended family (even though we have never met) so much that I would start my own blog. So, here it goes...I am going to give this whole blogging thing a shot.

This is a picture of the flag that is flown on one of the army ships that I toured. Just thought it would be a good start to my blog!
