First Blog!

So I've been wanting to make a blogspot for a while, but I'm really bad at updating them. Usually I make blogs when I'm pissed off because sometimes writing about it is a good escape for me. I want to keep one updated often for friends and family that we don't live near us. So I will do my best to update on Lilian and (for now) Adam's homecoming. But I'm not making any promises that it will be regular, I'm just promising to try.

Anyway, a week from today my baby girl will be 8 months old...already! Time is flying, which sucks because before we know it, she'll be in school, dating, getting married, having her own babies, then they'll have their own babies. Agh. But its also good, because its making this deployment fly by. Adam *should* be home in August. But they keep changing their minds and of course OPSEC doesn't allow exact dates. I love OPSEC just for the fact that it keeps our men safe, but damnit, I want an exact date!!!!!! We still aren't sure whats going to happen when Adam gets back. His contract is up in August 2010. He was going to try for warrant officer school, but during his physical today, they told him one of his eyes is 20/60 (and of course, in the Army you have to be perfect to get any good opportunity) and that even laser eye surgery wouldn't correct it enough. So for now, we are just saying "wait and see what the economy is like in a year from now." If its still pretty bad, he'll stay in. But if Obama can do some good damage control by then, he'll be getting out (YAY!).

So, thats about it for my first blog. I would just like to say that I'm thankful I'm not famous this week. FOUR celebrities have passed in the last five days. Ed McMahon (RIP June 23rd), Farrah Fawcet and Michael Jackson (both RIP June 25th) and Billy Mays--the Oxiclean guy who likes to yell at us (RIP June 28th). We can make it a bad month by mentioning David Carradine (RIP June 4th).

Here are a few things that I have made for Michael. Maybe later today I will make some for the other celebs mentioned. (You can click on them to make them larger.)

I know MJ has two other siblings, but I couldn't find pictures of them together, which makes me sad because I think this one turned out better than the other one, but it just doesn't feel complete without them. Oh well.

Off to the pool when Lilian wakes up from her nap.
