So it starts....

I've been meaning to do one of these Blog spots forever but with the social networking of MySpace, Facebook, and etc it is forever hard to combine all of the above into one central core... So yeah... Hopefully with this spot I will be able to express myself more so than I do on the other social networks and keep this limited to as who can view and what not...

So about me... What can I say...I'm 28 years old..mother of a 3 year old and a wife going on for five years now... I was born and raised in San Jose, California. I am the oldest of six kids (1 brother and four sisters) My parents have been together since 1979 and have raised us all to the best of their ability so as to be able to sustain ourselves in this place we call the world.

I entered the United States ARMY in 1999. I am currently considered as a Flight Dispatcher...but give me a rifle and a pack then I will be a Soldier, or so they say. The military has taken me around the world and back again since joining. I was stationed in Korea from Jan 2000-Jul 2001, Fort Belvoir, VA from Jul 2001-Nov 2003 ( My unit was the air support for the 9/11 acts at the Pentagon) From Nov 2003 until now I have been stationed in Germany. I have about three deployments under my belt and loved every minute of being out there in a combat zone. It gave me a sense of purpose and meaning with being a soldier. After all this is what we are trained to do right?

After almost being in the Military 10 years, I have begun to think things through and ask myself if this is the path I want to take in life. Is this what I see myself doing for the next 10 or 15 years of my life? I honestly can say is that I haven't quite figured out what I want to be when I grow up. But for now, all I want to do is be a good mother and decent wife to keep a family together and be proud of.

So it starts...this is just a bit of me in a nut shell to scratch perhaps the skin of the surface...There is more to me than meets the eye that's for sure..those who know me and have been there for me know what kind of person I am. What I am capable of when told I can not. Lately I have found it hard to look with in myself to find this person I once used to be... a care free spirit with no worries in life ... just taking life as it comes... either head on or from the back...BOHICA baby...(Bend Over Here It Comes Again)

So with this ending of my first blog, I hope that I will be able to keep a more updated portion of my life...along with my dreams, fears, joys and what ever life can bring...
