Aliviah got a new outfit! Now she can be a little soldier just like Daddy. She (of course, duh, I mean look at her parents) looks adorable. By the time she is able to talk she will know every part of the tank. She won’t turn into an Army brat. Tankers are above that. Tankers [...]

I recently posted a little excerpt into my past. I didn’t feel at the time of writing this that I needed to explain myself to anyone. It came from a past I’m not fully proud of having. My parents and loved ones put up with a lot. I am forever grateful that I have such people [...]

The deck is finally finished! It’s amazing how much bigger it looks with actual wood and not just string marked off. Dad (ironically) found a construction company called Bond Construction. The main guy’s name was Greg. He was really nice and funny. There were two other guys, Ron and Lance. Aliviah and I definitely had [...]

With all of Aliviah’s comfortable clothes in the dryer, the only thing she had to put on the other day was her Christmas outfit. Mom bought it for her while we were still in Germany. Counting the months out from when she was due would put her in a 6 month size by December. Well, [...]
