About Me:
i am happily married to the love of my life, and have been for 8 1/2 yrs now. i like ppl w/a sense of humor and intelligence. i HATE ppl that are cocky or arrogant. I have 4 kids. 13 year old son named Kyle "The Boy", 11 yr old son named Brandon "Brando", 3 yr old daughter named Delaney "Laney", and a 2 year old son named Hayden "Chunk".
i am very close w/my extended family & w/my best friend Nicole! She is an Army wife.
i am not close w/my MIL which really sucks because we used to be very close until a year ago when she betrayed my trust and my confidence while i was 8 1/2 months into a high risk pregnancy and my DH Kevin was deployed to AFG. i have lost respect for her forever.
my advice about that experience- please be careful what you say to someone in the heat of the moment, just because you've had a bad day doesn't mean you should fly off the handle at everyone....that one comment or betrayal could cost you a dear friend or loved one. make sure you treasure each moment w/your family and friends...live like tomorrow will never come.

i have the BEST kids on the planet (sorry, im braggin now! lol) they are all so very different and unique, creative and bright. every day is an adventure w/them and i love being a mother! sometimes i wear both hats. mommy and daddy. but it's okay. i learned early on in this military life that you just can't sweat the small stuff.
I absolutely LOVE taking photos. I am an Amatuer Photographer. my favorite subjects to photograph are my children, my dogs, nature: which includes- insects, flowers, wild native & exotic animals, plants, trees, landscapes, clouds, and interesting city scenes. Some of my work is in my photo album (or on my slide show). Please feel free to comment on any of my pictures. feed back helps me learn.

My husband is so very wonderful. i cannot imagine how i got so lucky! military life is a hard life to live...it makes or breaks a marriage. it saddens me when i see so many being broken by it. everyone seems to quit so easy...i guess that's why ppl call me a pit bull. i dig in and never let go! i found my man and ill be DAMNED if the USAF is going to tarnish that!

i love my family, i'd do ANYTHING for them!

We have 4 dogs, and love volunteering w/the SPCA as a foster home for abandoned puppies. I have been a member of the ASPCA for about 15 yrs. i think i used to bring home some sort of stray animal constantly as a kid. my dad used to act so upset about it, but then would say, "well if you're gonna keep THAT you better give it a bath!" LOL i love my daddy!


LOVE YOU KEV!!

~*Special note to other military wifes, fiances and GFs- hang in and hang on girl! If you can you'll find at the end of this horrific, splendid, crazy, depressing, joyous ride is the man of your dreams. follow him through ups, downs, and every path between. hold your head high on those gloomy sad lonely days....he IS thinking about you too! hold him to your heart and NEVER LET GO!*~

Welcome to Sparta...errr we mean the SFS

One of the silliest things I think I have had the pleasure of knowing while living this insane military life is that men are idiots. No seriously, they truly are idiots. Especially men of the military variety. Not to insult any of them naturally...but they certainly have their shinning moments.
I suppose that I should narrow this little group down to what I am familiar with as not to piss off any over protective military wifey into a fit of uncontrollable anger...thus giving her reason to vomit BS on my comments about this. god forbid we lose our cool once in a while right? but seriously I don’t mean "idiot" in a negative way.
I suppose the word I should use is "goofy, dorky, nutballs...etc." the group I focus this observation on? The Security Forces men of the United States Air Force.
oh yes, they are surely sexy in their BDU's (or should I call them ABU's or DCU's now..?) and blue berets. I’ve been around since the days where they had to wear dress blues on the gate shacks, now that uniform was snazzy! too bad the behavior wasn't as such. lol

you have to remember that these guys (though very dapper in their uniforms) are more than likely in their early twenties....and the NCO's well they are trapped in their early twenties. at least mentally.

I’ve seen some of the dumbest crap as the wife of an Air Force Security Forces member....and some of the FUNNIEST!

I remember the gag they pulled on one poor newbie one night ((base location undisclosed for obvious reasons)).... the poor kid had no idea what was in store for him.

He and his partner for the night were doing patrol when a call came in of a suspicious man nosing around the CATM range on the back side of the base. they proceeded out to the CATM range and sure enough they saw someone dressed in all black hustling back around the backside of the burm. so this guy driving, let’s call him SSgt. Sparta for fun; he got out of the patrol car, weapon drawn, and slinked around the side of the burm where the "man in black" was...and told the newbie (who was unarmed) to stay behind the car and keep his radio w/him. poor kid huddled behind the squad car like a little girl hiding from a wolf, and waited in dead silence.
All the sudden someone rushes out the front door of the CATM training room door gun blazing firing shots wildly...of course they were blanks, but they had tracers so it was lighting up the dark night. The newbie kid starts screaming into his radio for back up, and then who show's up? none other than SSgt. Sparta w/his 9mm in hand...he quickly fires off 4 shots at the man in black and he falls down on the asphalt. Newbie is in shock. he tried to collect himself, and as ppl show up it's very hard for him to conceal the fact that he has just pissed himself from fright.

Newbie was sitting on the curb next the CATM building when the man in black pops up out of a supposed death and w/out saying a word reaches in his pocket and pulls out a pack of cigs. Newbie is stuttering and sputtering and pointing...it's at this point that everyone starts laughing. the Newbie realizes at that moment that he's just been "hazed".
the last thing the Newbie heard that night from everyone around him was a resounding echo in his ear that declared- "Welcome to the SFS!"

*sigh* and I married one of these idiots. ~ At least he's cute.

My baby isn't a baby anymore!!!

I'm pouting! Truly I am. I know I need to get a grip...but seriously, my youngest son turned 2 on Monday. He's my LAST baby...my LAST PEOPLE! All his firsts are a joy and a twisting knife to my heart all at the same time. I realize that this is it...no more first smiles, no more first words, no more first steps...sure there are other milestones I have to look forward to, my oldest will be 14 in February and will be off to highschool soon, my middle son will be a teenager this coming March and my… Continue

Are you KIDDING ME?

My youngest son is truly trying my patience lately. I'm not new to motherhood..i have 4. we are raising Teens and Toddlers i tell people. Truly the *best* times in childhood...((feel my sarcasm)). Now I always thought the teens would be a mess, but it's the toddlers that have me feeling like a crazy mad woman. I just want to pull my hair out some days. I don't remember my 2 older boys being THIS horrible as toddlers. Seriously let me tell you what we've had to do to keep my youngest....little an… Continue

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR HUSBAND?

This is a survey that was posted a while back (a year and a half i think) but I'm a survey junkie and thought since we had one a few days ago that everyone seemed to enjoy answering I'd put another one up. I've tried locating other "military wife" inspired surveys but they are really hard to find...so this is as best as I can do for now. Besides I think we could all use a break now and then between the 'advice giving'. lol
:)

Just copy/paste earase my answers and add your own. have fun!!

Feeling like an old maid....

I've noticed lately that I'm older than most of the wives on this site that I've seen post. If there are women out there my age i cannot seem to find them :)
I'm 32. i'm not "old", but it just seems i'm surrounded by younger less experienced military wives. that's not a bad thing...i dont mind giving advice or just answering questions and stuff, i quite enjoy helping out new military wives but it just seems that every couple i've known from the beginning of my marriage to my huband of 8 1/2 yrs… Continue

The Miserable Bitch is At it Again!

My mother-in-law....that constant pain in my ass, is at it again. Not that i am surprised. I truly think that this woman lives to piss my husband and i off. She often makes me wonder, where in hell did she acquire her therapist license!? Cause she surly isn't using the tools of her trade...or maybe she is, in just a negative way.

If her goal is to break us up or some such nonsense I truly think i might die from hysterical laughter, THAT would be the biggest joke of the year! There hasn't been a… Continue

Haha, I just read your hazing story. That is great. My husband loves to pull crap on the new privates all the time, but I don't think they've ever done anything THAT awesome. He just likes to make them go pick up rocks out of the gravel and make them think they're not supposed to be there, then 20 minutes later have another soldier come out and tell him "What the hell are you doing with those rocks? Put them back in the gravel where they belong!" They'll do that to the new privates all day until they finally decide to say something. Yes...they are idiots. Awful, awful idiots :)

HAHA! I just read your hazing story. Yeah...one of my best friends was SF in the USAF. He had stories like that. *rolls eyes* I don't even think my Army MP ex-husband and his buddies pulled that crap...at least, they didn't talk about it if they did.
