Back for 2012... and hopefully more regular posts!

So it's been quite awhile since I posted, but here's a quick recap on where we are:

• We moved to Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS in August for Daniel's new training (Undergraduate Cber Training).
• We LOVE our new home on base and have made lots of good friends over the past few months.
• We're expecting a bundle of joy in mid-March and couldn't be happier about it!
• We hosted our first Thanksgiving in our home when Daniel's parents & brother came in for the holiday.
• We spent Christmas and New Year's in Pittsburgh and are now home and back to 'normal.'

Over the past month or so, I've discovered a love for Pinterest which is an online 'pin' board to help keep all the cool recipes, ideas, crafts, etc I find online organized and in one place! I'll be sharing some of those ideas here (and how successful (or not) I've found them to be) and some that I've come up with on my own. Hope you'll join me!

Since my break from blogging, a lot of things have changed and one of the most significant change has been my new business! I became a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant in November and love it! There are a lot of reasons but I'll just name a few:
1. I get to stay at home with Anna and still use my brain for work!

2. I get all my personal use products at wholesale cost!

(Pictured: Timewise Miracle Set- MY FAVORITE!)

3. I get to spend time with my amazing girlfriends, making them feel pampered and earn income at the same time.

We are closing out our Seminar Year 2011 and are slotted to be the #1 unit in all of Mary Kay! We have just a few more days left and if you want to help us secure the top spot, visit my website! When you check out with a purchase of $20 or more, make sure to write "blog giveaway" in the comments section for a free lipgloss! If you know which shade you want, be sure to put that in too! If you're unsure about which shade would look best, I'll give you a call and we can figure out the perfect one for you. I always ship for free, our products are backed with a 100% money back satisfaction guarantee and I just know you'll love them if you give them a try!

And I'm back!

Greetings everyone! It's been a very long time and I thought I'd take this post to explain my hiatus and catch you up on our life.

Back in September, things got a little crazy with Daniel's Air Force career and pilot training sort of stopped for us. He was dizzy all the time and we were freaking out about possible reasons. The medical personnel were less than helpful and suggested everything from dehydration to a brain tumor but after 2 and 1/2 months, someone diagnosed Daniel in 45 minutes with a slight problem with his ocular-vestibular connection (between his eyes and his brain) and gave him exercises to fix it. And he's been 100% since January- Alleluia!

After that, it was on to figuring out what was going to happen to pilot training and after a very long process, it was decided that Daniel would be removed from UPT with the understanding that the door was still open for reapplying in the future- once he was asymptomatic for 12 months.

In the mean time, the USAF would reclassify him so that he'd have an official job which would be beneficial to his overall military career. While we had to play the waiting game (the military's FAVORITE) for a few more months, we finally have some information on where we're headed and what Dan will be doing!

He found out on Thursday that he'll be a cyberspace operations officer and it looks like we'll be PCSing (moving all of our stuff there) to Keesler AFB in Biloxi, Mississippi! We're really excited about the next step in our great big adventure!

I think I've rattled on long enough- I'll post more soon, promise!
