today i have decided not to turn on the television at all, i know id turn it to cnn and be in here crying all day watching what is developing in Haiti. My heart and prayers go out to anyone who has been affected by this unfortunate tragedy. God bless them all, including those who have come to their aid. Poverty is a day to day life in Haiti and now on top of that it has been struct with so much heart ache and pain. Innocent people have lost their lives, but there is sunshine after the rain. As unfortunate as it is this tragedy may bring stability to the country, basically re-building it from the ground up with buildings and houses that pass code. They say what does not kill us will only make us stronger.
I fell upon this Video spoof of our President Obama! I love it, it is super cute, i found myself reading the words and singing along, i was in here jammin! Yep, this hot mama voted for Obama. Now put yah hands up! oo ooo ooo oooooo :)
I also spoke with a friend of mine back home whose boyfriend is in the Army and stationed at Ft. Hood, she said that he was training for deployment to Iraq in September, but now got word they are getting ready to ship to Haiti to help with relief. I'd personally pick Haiti over Iraq or Afghanistan anyday. She is just sad because she was supposed to visit him for Valentines day. Life of a military wife or girlfriend, "hurry up and wait." My husband is a Combat Medic and is currently in Louisiana doing JRTC for up coming deployment in Afghanistan. I haven't spoken with him since he left 8 days ago which i knew was going to happen because he is in the field, but for all i know they could have mobilized them to Haiti. Ehh that may be a stretch be he is part of a medical detachment for 101 Airborne, who knows. As of right now, it has been easy thus far with him not being here, Jordyn and I have fell back into the same routine we had in california before we got married, when it was just the two of us. It is easier for me, because she knows the deal and does not try to push the envelope and see what she can get away with like she does when her dad is around. I have her in check and the sassy-ness and back talk is down to a minimum. Which is great, i havent had any real big issues with her. I know she misses her dad, boy does JoJo love her some Daddy, but she understands that he is at work. 3 more weeks and he will be going home. I spoke with my mother in law and she let me know she is no longer going to be able to keep JoJo in SC for two weeks while we pack in Feb because she is flying back home to california because they found fast spreading cancer on her mothers lip and she needs to be with her, and i totally understand. Jordyn is a lil sad though because she was so looking forward to spending two weeks at her grandparents house, but we will be in cali before she leaves so we will see here regardless.
