Living the DREAM

Valentines Day gifts from the boys!!

So for Valentines Day I wanted to do something really fun and unique for the boys to give to their friends. So where is the perfect place to get ideas.....Pinterest......of course!!! So I found these cute heart crayons you could make and I went straight to work. First we un-peeled all the old crayons we had and then I cut them all up and then the boys picked which colors they wanted to add and we went to work. Down below you can see the process and the end result. My babies are filling out their own names and everything. Where has the time gone?! When did I get so old? :) So tell me what you think!! :) This was definitely not a one day project but we had fun doing it.

Perfect

Do you ever just feel like everything in your life is completely perfect and the way it is suppose to be?! Well lately that is how I have felt. I have an amazing family and things are just GOOD. We are all happy and healthy. I have so many good things to look forward to in this upcoming year. I want to go back to school to get my master's degree. I just have to decide exactly what I want to get it in. I'm thinking Special Education. Teaching is a passion of mine but I want to do more. I want to give back and help children who struggle. So we will see. Also we will be moving to Japan at the end of the year. How exciting is that!?! I can't wait. It is going to be so exciting to move to a different country and experience a totally new culture. I know that it will be hard because we will be away from our family but that is what is super great about the Marine Corps......friends become apart of your extended family!! One thing I am really going to miss about Parris Island is my job. I love what I do so much. My boss is amazing and has definitely spoiled me. No one will ever be able to live up to her that's for sure. I've enjoyed working for Family Team Building so much and all the people of MCCS that I have met over the past few years. It truly is a family!

Keep an eye out for some upcoming blogs on all of the exciting crafts I have been making!! My husband is super crafty with wood so I've had to step up my game lately. I'm pretty proud of all my crafts lately!! :)

My Family!

Here is my family!!! I have never been so lucky or so happy as I am right now in my life. I have a wonderful husband and incredible boys. We both have great jobs that we love and every day I feel very lucky to be living the life we do. At the end of this year we will be PCSing to Iwakuni, Japan. I am very excited but also a little nervous of course. I know that this is just the next step in our families journey and I hope to start and keep up this blog to let everyone know how our Marine Corps journey is progressing. Here's to hoping I can keep this blogging up. I have lots of fun and exciting things going on that's for sure!!
