Our Life Lately..

I realized that I haven't blogged lately about our life. Hailee turned 6 on November 4th. She is super excited to reach this age, as she has been waiting a whole year! haha. For days after her birthday, she kept asking me, "Mommy, am I still 6 years old?" as to which I reply, "Yes, Hailee, you are still 6". I remember about 8 months ago, she told me she was going to marry a kid in her class when she turned 6. I asked her why 6? She said because she will be old enough. Well, the kid moved away before we moved away. She wasn't too happy about that. She really liked him. Since we've gotten here, she's named a couple of boys that she is going to marry. But this time she says they will marry when they are 11. ;)

Andrew is almost 19 months, and wilder than ever. He loves to climb and pull things off of shelves. He still loves cars, but has developed a new love towards planes. We were watching Cars 2, and there is a preview of the new Planes movie coming out(from the makers of Cars) and he is all interested. That movie won't come out till at least 2013, tho. I'm sure he'll be just as interested 2 years from now. His favorite things in life are cars, balls, dogs, and his blanket.

Lincoln is a big pain in the you know what. I can't wait till he calms down a bit, but I think we have a couple years to go until then. I think it's partially our fault because we need to give him more attention and exercise. So, that's something we need to work on. He's growing so fast, and is a big boy! Him and Bubba are such good buddies. Bubba will come and love on him various times a day, and then while Bubba naps, Lincoln lays right by him.

I'm doing okay. I'm over half way through this semester of school, only have a little over a month left. I'm working out, trying to get back into shape and then I'll be training to become a Turbo Kick instructor. I'm really looking forward to that. I'm not sure if I'll be going back to school next semester due to the gi benefits issue I mentioned in the last blog. It sucks, because right now is the best time for me to take classes. I imagine it will all work out in the end.

Cody's Mom is coming up in a couple weeks to spend Thanksgiving week with us, and we are looking forward to it. We will be going to London, visiting Stonehedge, showing her around where we live and the surrounding areas. I know she will enjoy herself, as well as we will enjoy her company. :)

TURRRBOOOOOO

TURBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm back at it again, and this time I'm training to become an instructor. This is something I've wanted to do for a couple years now, and I've taken the steps to begin. I don't know how long it's going to take me to become certified, but I'm going to work my butt off. I've done Turbo for years now, although not as consistent due to pregnancy, moving, being lazy, living in a 3rd floor apartment(which the neighbors were none to happy with me doing TurboFire, lol), worked out at the gym, etc. But, I haven't forgotten Turbo, and I always go back to it. This is the ONE program that gets me in shape faster than anything I've ever done before, and it's addictive. I'll admit, starting off can be rough. In fact, I'm sore as I speak. But, no pain, no gain, right? After taking 4 months off of working out, I started out with TurboFire instead of Turbo Jam. I figured TF will get me in instructor shape faster than Turbo Jam. So, it's no surprise to me that I am sore. I have some bad habits that I need to kick, but once I get my butt in gear, I'll be on a roll. It's time for me to get refocused!

On another note, I have to put off getting my degree. Unfortunately, the whole 'you can transfer your gi bill to your dependents after 10 years of service, as long as you are still enlisted to do more', is a lie. Because, they declined our request for me to get gi bill benefits to pay for my schooling due to Cody not enlisted for longer than he currently is(which is 14 years of service by the time the current contract is up). So becoming an instuctor is my plan b, so to speak. I guess I will have to wait until Cody reenlists again. Makes no sense, but whatever.

Another program I want to teach is Hip Hop Hustle, but I'm going to start with Turbo Kick first, since I know it. Hopefully this time next year I'll be rockin' it! :)
