Exciting News!!!!

Hello!!!
So I know I have been MIA lately, but I have very exciting news!!!! For all of you civilians out there you might not get how big of a deal it is, but for my military peeps out there you will get it. Frank just found out that he made board for chief advancement!!!!!! Whoooo Whoooooo!!! He of course still has to get his record and evaluations together, but he has a VERY strong chance! He has been a recruiter and is now an Instructor so that will look fantastic! I am such a proud wife!!!!!! He is gonna look so good in that Khaki uniform!!!!!! Everyone keep your fingers crossed for him. He has worked so hard to get there he deserves it!
As for me I am doing great. The new job is crazy stressful and my boss is a mess, but my co-workers are great. They really make it fun to be there in the chaos. Pray I get lots of leases people!! :) As for school I am doing great. Straight A's just the way I have to have it. Yes I am bragging my butt off but as my girl Heather knows...we deserve to brag on that 4.0!!!! We work our butts off to be there! I have started going to the gym four days out of the week and I tell you it is so hard for me to get my sorry self there, but I am starting to feel the reward. Frank being the darling husband just took me on a shopping trip to celebrate my first 5 lbs....nothing gives motivation like J.Crew and Burberry! What a wonderful husband I have!
Other than that things are just running along like a well oiled machine. Can you all believe that Frank and I will be celebrating our second wedding anniversary next month!!! Where does the time go! God definitely has blessed me with an amazing husband. I tell ya girls (and guys) I live a charmed life.
Hope everyone is happy and their families safe and in good spirits! I love you and miss you all!!!

Spring Break is over...

So last week Frank and I both took off of work for Spring Break!!! Tons of fun!! We were going to try to go to his parents mountain house, but we got snowed out...instead we went up to Williamsburg. I love going up there because not only do we get to hang out with our best pals Jason and Kim and their kiddies, but we also go to the best shopping place ever!!! Other than that we just sat around the house watching movies and playing scrabble. You know it sounds boring, but it is really so nice to just be together.
Other than that things are pretty boring. Just living life, going to school and working. Frank is really happy with his job. Teaching has really suited him. If only every duty station involved teaching. However we don't have much longer till he retires and we choose where will settle down. As for my new job it is strange. I have a really "weird" boss, but the job itself is alot of fun. I have met so many people!! We are actually getting renovated too and the finished product has lots of appeal!
We hope all of our friends out there in cyber space are well and their families happy! We love you all..till next time....Samantha and Frank

Our Family Blog...

So my cousin Jennifer emailed me her family blog and I thought it was sooo cute! So this week I was sitting around bored to tears being off work and school for Spring Break so I decided to start a blog for Frank and I. Being so far from home and not one to just call people up to chat...this could be a great way to keep intouch with the people we love and they can keep up with us. Not to mention what a fun way to keep a journal. So keep checking back to see what is going on with us...I will try to keep this up better than my other sites! Much love to you all!
