Ok...let's try to catch up here.

So, soccer and football are over. :( I love watching my kid's play sports, even if the practices and being gone most nights, kill me. Jordan is a kick ass ball player, and i cant wait til spring, so he can go back in soccer. Ally improved SO much this season. She loved her coach and team, so im hoping she will stay with them next season.

1st report cards came out. Jordan had all A's, except in art and that was a B because some kid broke his clay sculpture and he couldn't fix it in time. Ally is progressing as expected.

Jackson went to the promotion board (again) and PASSED!!! He was pinned last week, and is now a SGT! :) Now, he's waiting to reenlist for 5 more years. We also got news that in June, we will be headed to Ft sill, ok. Not too sure about that one yet.

Jordan is growing up to be a fine young man. Some days i cant believe he's almost a teen. He goes with his friends to the library a lot, to hang out, and is more independent. He was invited to be in the jr beta club again this year. So happy that he does so well in school.

Ally has been having a few behavior issues home and in school. She was able to talk to daddy last week, and had an excellent day after that. She's just really missing him, and it's showing in her behavior.

Not much new with me. Trying to stop worrying about what others think of me, and just be me. It's hard, though. I have always wanted to feel accepted, and to have friends i can turn to. Aside from 1 or 2 people, i feel like i have noone who truly wants to be a friend.

Im sure there has been something left out, and maybe i'll remember and add it another time. In closing, i would like to say that i am thankful i have beautiful, healthy, happy kids who are my whole reason for being. And, a wonderful, supportive husband who loves me in spite of all my flaws. So, glad this deployment is coming up to it's end soon.
