Looking Back

When looking back at my life and marriage, I would have to say I am pretty happy with it. My family and I are closer then we were when I wasn't married. My sister and I are best friends now and we see each other every weekend if we can just to have our time.

My husband and I are doing awesome together. We had a rough patch in our marriage but who doesn't hit bumps when the things get tough and strained I'm some way or another. It took us years to make it happy again. When I look back at when we were first married and I look at our pictures we looked so innocent and unknowing of the world, now when I look at recent pictures I see that we have grown and learned to be the people we need to be to support our relationship and our lives. We are still individuals, but individuals whose souls are tied together. I am going for my degree for not only me, but for my small family. I have new goals in life regarding my degree plan. I get weird looks when I tell people I don't want children, but really it's not just my decision but Ski's as well. We decided to not have kids, because of our degree goals in life would just take away from our children and that's not fair to them. We would rather have a house full of dogs because then we could love them when we could and they wouldn't be emotionally hurt. I hope that the changes that are coming in our future will be the pleasant ones that will help us grow together.

Kurt Roy Quinones

Today was the annual memorial service for the fallen fire fighters in Widefield/Security area. It was gut wrenching and the worst heart break ever.

I thought that my heart healed from the loss of Kurt, but apparently I was wrong. I think everyone who was close to him thought wrong. When the Cheif of the Fire Departments in the area got to his name, he barely held it together. Which only means that our hearts were fooling us.

When you loose someone close to you a void that can never be filled takes up residents in your heart and it's not bad until you really think about it and you put yourself in a place that will be remembering that person.

Summer Catch Up Fall Beginnings

Where did my summer go?! I don't even know. It seems to have gone by so fast!
Let me try recap our summer. Ski continues to go to school and work. He now works the afternoon shift. Which is nice since I get to wake up with him and go to sleep with him. The only downfall is having to cook dinner for one person. It just seems like a hassle at times to cook a full meal just for one person. He still likes his job we are currently awaiting to hear that he got his T.S. We are also waiting to hear back to see if could get retirement from the Army since he was discharged at 50% disability. He should have gotten in when he originally got out, but since the Army didn't give it to him, along with a lot of soldiers a law farm is taking it to court. So either we will get it the right way or winning the case in court. I spent a lot of time at work along with my family.

While at work I met an amazing girl named Kaeli. I just love her. We are close like sisters and best friends, of course her mom is her number one best friend. I can be number two she says. :) I just love her family they are just so loving and caring.

My family from Montana came out for their yearly visit in the middle of August and that was nice. I got to spend a week with them since I took it off. Hopefully next year when they come out we do something new and not the same old routine.

A week later my cousin Nando and his awesome wife Jes came out for a visit. I spent two days with them. Sadly I couldn't take time off since I just got back from my previous week off.

I started my English course and my Sociology course on the 23 of August. It is going well I took my first test last Monday and I received a 92% percent on the test. I was very happy with the out come. For my English I have to do an argumentative paper I choose bullying/harassment. I am going for the side that it's the society within the school that sets the stage for the roles of victim and bullying. I hope it turns our alright. I feel very strongly about this paper.

Two weeks ago the store volunteered again the Race For the Cure as a baggage check. It went well we need a bigger truck and someone to help us stack. My auntie Debbie came out to help us and I loved seeing her. She is an amazing woman.

Well that's it for now, I will try to come weekly if not bi-weekly.I get so busy with work and school.
