Busy, Busy!

Well it's been almost a month since I turned 30. And I have been uber busy ever since. Banana is about to turn 6, so I'm planning her party. She wants a puppy party, and that's what she's going to get. I can't wait to share the details with you all. Not only do I have that but LuLu decided to get married too. Soon! So I have a bridal shower and bachelorette party to plan too. And I've never even been to either one. Oh and did I mention that all this is going down 2 states away? In a city that I have now visited 3 times in my life. Spent a total of 5 nights in 3 separate visits. AAAHHHH! But I'm so excited for her and my new "brother". So it's totally worth all the stress and anxiety. I'm looking forward to pulling out my hair and sharing every single step with you all. Won't I make a beautiful maid of honor when I'm bald? LOL!
Thanks for stopping by and come back soon.

When You Finally Realize Your Baby Sister Can Kick Your Butt...

Hey there! You all may remember a while back I had a Wordless Wednesday post of my favorite military person. Well, in honor of Veteran's Day I thought I would bring her back and share some more with you all about her. She's my younger sister, by 17 months. (The way our birthdays fell, we were 2 years apart in school.) But I've always felt super protective over my siblings. She'll always be a bratty baby to me.
About her:
She's in graduate school at one of the top schools in the country for her field. She spent 4 years in active duty in the United States Air Force and has since been in the reserves. She currently holds the title of  Technical Sergeant. Although she would kill me if she found out that I told you this; she just got picked number 1 for an officer training scholarship program. EEEEEEP! My baby sister is going to be a Lieutenant!!!

This is her accepting the offer on Veteran's Day. Isn't she beautiful?!

Yep, she's on her way back to active duty. While we don't live in the same state now, I still get to see her almost monthly since her reserve base is in my state. Once she's stationed, I'm going to see much less of her and I'm going to miss her terribly, but I can't help being so excited and so  proud of her. Since I've never written about her, I never gave her a name. So I guess we're going to call her Lulu (for lieutenant). Pretty cute, right?

On a more serious note, if you see a vet today or any day, Thank them. And ALWAYS, ALWAYS PRAY for them.
