July 30, 2008~My life as of now...

I am so incredibly happy! The only thing that could make it better is if Joey were not deployed. The kids are the light of my life. I have amazing friends. I have had some serious motivation to get back in shape. I want to go on a cruise, and Joey says I have to wear a two piece. So I have some work ahead of me so I will not make everyone else jump ship. Cameron is such a little man. He is a great mommy's helper, and so good for me. He teaches me something new everyday. Patience is a big one he has taught me. He is a mini Joey. I look at him and see his daddy in all he does and his actions. He is growing into such an amazing person, and I am happy to be a part of that.Emele is 3 as of 3 days ago. How fast they grow. She has shown me that it is all right to wear pink and be a girly girl. She has brought out the girly side of me. She is so beautiful in appearance as well as a person. She has the ability to make any one smile, and you can't help but feel her radiate.Joey, although he is on deployment, gives me so much support. He has made it possible for me to be a stay at home mommy, and get my degree. He loves me and makes sure that I am happy. He is my knight in shining armor. I could not ask for a better man on my team. GO team HALPHEN!!I just finished my AA in Accounting and will begin my BA on the 5th. I am finally achieving my education goals. I could not have done this with out all of the support from my family and friends.This move to Cali, was a huge adjustment for me. I had to leave Robin and Logan behind. I thought I was going to go crazy many times. I miss Oak Harbor friends, my own home, the beauty. But I have made the most amazing friends here. People who understand me and what I go through as a Navy wife every day. They are my rock, I will not name names, I would hate to forget anyone, but you all know who you are.Then there is Cali. I just spent the evening at the beach. We played in the surf, buried Cameron, watched the dolphins play in the sunset... It is just so beautiful here. If you made it through all that, thank you. I just had to get out there how wonderful life really is!
