Sunny Skies and Inspections

Kansas... It's days like these that's I LIKE Kansas... 65 and sunny! In January! We went to the zoo Saturday, wore our winter coats Sunday and back to 65 degrees today. Love this state!!

Bad news is that we're having an inspection at work this week and it's getting crazy LOL not worried about it, but still crazy...

Goings on about chickens and farming are happening, I'm starting my business plan... Got some great books at the house that I'm slowly reading through... Hoping that they'll help me out with the planning phase.
In about 4 months I can start ACAP which is basically just the army 'preparing' me for civilian life again... Pretty sure I'm going to be OK on the transition LOL. But ACAP is just another stepping stone to getting out... I can't wait to be free again. Don't even care if that means that I need to scrimp and save even more than I do now.

Well. That's all the goings on for now. I'll be sure and write more when things cool off!

Cilantro Lime Chicken

I've been on an experimental kick with recipes lately. Tonight we had Cilantro Lime Chicken which was OK but didn't really wow me. The flavor was OK but it ended up a bit dry and seems to me that I don't care much for the flavor of cilantro!! I probably won't try the recipe again, especially since it needed done a couple hours ahead of cooking so it could sit in the marinade stuff. I just don't have the time to devote to a recipe I don't really care for!!

Benjamin seems to be teething!! There are two tiny white specks showing through the to of his gums in the front. Seems a little early to me but who knows! He doesn't really seem to be upset about it and he is drooling less lately not more... Oh well... I suppose his little teeth will come through eventually!!

Tomorrow I go back to work, headed up to the company for a while, can't wait!! Gonna be nice to wait up at 7 and have two hours to get ready for work instead of waking up at 3 and having 40 minutes to get ready!!

Happy New Year!

I should really post more frequently!!! Maybe I'll be able to cause I've got the app now! :-)

Anyways, I have a new addition to the family! Baby Benjamin was born September 16th at 0208 :-).  He's healthy, generally happy and, at 3.5 months old starting to try talking! He was born with a full head of hair and it has only grown. It's getting lighter now than it was when he was born, however, it's just as thick.

We've moved since my last post, we now live on post. It's pretty nice, we have a fenced back yard facing the woods and I'm only 7 minutes from work.

Work.... I'm now working in the training office for my company. It's pretty chill, this week might be rough cause it's the first week I'll have been there since Christmas. I moved to the medication window for Christmas and New Years so they got a better work schedule. In the time since I've been out of the office the company has split, a couple sections that are actually shift work have gone to a different company. That'll make things a little better for me on one hand, worse on the other...  Better because we have less people to deal with, worse because I have to take them all off our numbers :/ gonna take some time but not insurmountable.

Future plans at the moment include going home and starting a hobby farm. Unfortunately I won't be able to do that for a while... Not done with my contact for a little over a year :-( . I'm not too upset about it but I kinda wish I could go home now LOL. Just been a rough little bit... I'm still a little depressed I think from so many changes and a lack of sleep.

We had a great Christmas this year. I got Tim his ballistic vest for air soft, he got me a bunch of cooking utensils I needed. Benjamin got a book (Winnie the Pooh) and a few talking toys and a cool rattle he can grab and chew on. We also got a few games from gram and pops and mom and dad. Basically we made out like bandits LOL. I can't think of anything else to say right at the moment so I'll go away. I'll try to post at least every week!
