I was raised rant

My head feels like it could explode at the moment. I have been reading the laws for state that could become are home for the next few years. I hope for a shorter amount of time than a few. I know there are people out there that shouldn't have access to things like Guns, bows, knives, anything of the nature. But to treat everyone as a suspect and not allow them to have there items is wrong. I was raised to respect and love those items by an active duty police officer and gun lover , I even have a state issued CCL. To strait up tell me I cant  keep a hand gun in my home I find wrong, and the only reason I reside in your state is because my Loves work says so. Other than that I would avoid you like you have the plague. To pass your permits and test I stand little chance seeings its not my state of residence, and I will not change it because I want to continue to have my CCL in my home state and carry my handgun in any state that recognizes it I can leave it in the armory, or have a dealer pick it up to hold it, um no.  It drives me nuts that it has gotten that far, if must be they will be kept in the armory, if man wants to take any of them at all.  As for me This house is protected by the Good Lord and a gun. You may meet them both if you show up here unwelcome. So time to take the long guns out to practiceDone must sleep kids will be up in 6 ish hours. The fact that people think they can legslate them selves safe is crazy, you are responable for your and your familys safety. No one else

Really a sugar and processed food withdraw

A very good friend of mine whom was at one point morbidly obease started on a healthier life plan. At that time I thought I was eating pretty well. Then he turned me to the Forks over Knives movie on Netflix. He had been a vegitarian for almost 2 months now. What he had experienced with improved health was amazing. From watching the movie and consulting what I had been tought from child hood I chose to go Flexatarian. To me it screamed Word of Wisdom at me.

Currently I can easly go with less meat, I have never been a big meat eater, and did consume higher quanties of Fiber due to my lovley IBS. But cutting down on the refined sugar and swiching to more while grains, has led me to craving them. Granted it has only been 3 weeks. But could it be withdrawls and dang will they end soon so I can be free. I have done many things to help my health and lessen the chemicals I put in my body. From no longer using shampoo and becoming poo free, to using rock salt as a dedorant. Yes the salt does work great, I also drink one tablespoon of Diatomasiou Earth, with my Raw honey and Cinniman toast in the morning. Man I hope these pass fast, cant make my health anyworse. Hope to live a long and healthy lafe as long as God allows me to walk the earth

Time flys

Really my last post was in November. Then there is allot to say. Everything from are 10th anniversary, Basic Graduation,  to funerals have gone on.

Yes we have made 10 years. Honestly it hasn't seemed that long. We have come a long ways in that time in some aspects, but in many it feels like we have never left that bliss full first year. My only complaint is that we spent it apart. I hope for the 20th we will be in the same place. Never the less even though he couldn't call or send more than a letter, her showed his love in a way I would of ever imagined. That week his unit did the message home project. They were half way done with training, and command did something sweet for the soldiers and there families. Most of them were I love or miss my mom or girlfriends, some even included they were single and looking for love and included and phone number. Man how ever made me feel like the only person in his world and brought tears to my eyes.
 I have never had any doubts that I had chosen the one that was meant for me.
  Man got to come home for Holiday Block Leave, it was so wonderful to have him around. He spent the first three days it seem like asleep, but when your love has been gone for a while you are just happy having him in the same room weather he is sleeping or awake it really doesn't matter. It was nice to have him here to have some Spiritual support as well. Earlier in the month we buried my best girl friends husband, he is only 3 yrs my elder. She is an example of when your world falls apart, how one can pick up the pieces and come out stronger. No one out side her and husband know why he did it, I am proud of her non the less, and I know her husband is a great man and wonderful husband and that wouldn't of been changed by death. She shows so many traits I see in members of my church, yet she is not one her self. Just a few days later we laid a grandparent to rest. She had lived a long and full life, passing through the Vail must off been such a relief for her. Yet this past week we laid another grandparent to rest. He had a long 11 year battle with never being healthy.The love him and my grandma have is one that I hope to have with me and my husband. Never heard them fight or heard of it, love, respect, compassion, the help mate we all look for.  The understatement of the century is that she will miss him. I ma blessed that they all lived long enough to help teach me many lessons that will benefit my life and my family. I will be so excited to see him beyond the Vail as well.

 In January we went down to Georgia to see man graduate from Basic Training. It really was a nice trip. Took my in-laws with me so they could see hubby graduate and to help me with the kids and the driving. It really didn't seem like 980 miles in the truck. But that is a matter of opinion, I use to drive trucks 8+ hrs a day for a living. So sitting on my bum behind a steering wheel seems like home to me. We stayed at some awesome cabins on  base.
It was the right size for four. Three adults and two kids, two kids equal one adult right? The MWR program is pretty awesome, couldn't beat being almost right out side the gates, but yet off in the woods and $30 a night made it even better. Very nice off in the woods, with small kitchen, fridge, stove, TV and fire pit. The kids keep asking when we are going to go back to the cabin again. I'm very glad that they enjoyed the trip.  It might of been the Air Born jump school planes going over every hr or the fact they roasted marsh mellows every night. I'm just glad they remember it and its a good memory. Cabin style is how man and I hope to live some day anyways. People really don't need 1,800sf homes with 4 beds and 3 baths. I'm all for the tiny house movement and keeping it simple, sometimes all the extras get in the way of having a really great life.
We didn't get much time with man but we loved every minute of the little time they granted us with him. He had one heck of a ride. His quote " Jan 2013, for anyone who cares, today I graduated from Basic Training. My platoon earned honor platoon because we got the toughest Drill Sergeants in the toughest company, Charlie Cobras, at the toughest Basic Training site, Ft. Benning Georgia" Lost Boys

Now were in the home stretch. Roughly one month and he will be done with AIT, give or take a few weeks deemed by Army. We are very blessed he got chosen to do Home Town Recruiting. So he will be back for a couple weeks before he reports to his First Duty Station. He has a good idea but its not on paper yet. So till he has orders in hand we just go with the flow. He loves snow so he is excited because it snows there allot, but disappointed in the local states rules governing fire arms.  Hubby  go by the same thing I do. If my dad would of feared me turning my gun on an innocent person, he would of shot me with it first. But we are excited non the less to be able to be a family again here soon. I am glad at this age my children have little concept of how much time has gone by. The way they talk makes time go faster for me. AIT has been a welcome relief, we  were able to start having family prayer together again via the phone, and what a wonderful blessing it is. We also like that his Sergent's are very religious them selves and see it as important. There have been some occasions when Bed check has ran late and they still allow the two to three minute call for prayer, and have patience when the kids want to say it and it takes a bit longer.
My end has not been nearly as exciting, I have just been attending school along with some on line classes. It really hasn't been much of a spring break, one are current state threw us for a weather loop and has poured rain and snow upon us. I'm not going to complain one bit, the farmers I know will benefit greatly from this blessing of moisture, as well as anyone who gardens.  But I have spent spring break getting ahead in my online classes. Have nothing better to do, not driving to the school for my on sight classes might as well get a little ahead and take it easier for a few weeks.
But non the less we are happy and healthy for now. This year has been bad for us and many families I know with flu's and stomach bug's. Always hope next year is better and less icky's running around.
