People in glass houses..

We all know the saying, but I think a lot of people sometimes forget to apply it to their lives.  Now I am in NO way saying that I have never and will never pass judgement on somebody.  It is human nature, we all do it to some degree.

Where the problem arises for me is when people become arrogant enough to think that they need to share their opinions on your life with you.  Do I have opinions about how others choose to live their lives??.. Sure!  As I'm sure others do about mine.  I however, do not feel as though my choices are right for everyone.  So I do not share those opinions with others.  And everybody can go about their business happily.  When you begin sharing your opinions with others on how you think they should live, you become an a-hole.

I have been trying over the last year or so to make myself a better person and try and change some of the negative things about myself.  And I feel like I am doing well, so far.  Trying at least!  I have calmed down a lot, learned to let the little things go, and how to say that I am sorry.  I also figured out just to mind my own business.  Everybody's lives are different, and you have no idea what really goes on in something that you aren't a part of.  So who am I to say what I would do?..  Nobody.  Me and Chris like to keep and chill and relaxed environment in our house.  (It's the Parrot Head way after all)  And part of that is just not worrying about other people.  Our family is our priority and that is the only thing we can control.  It is easier for him to ignore other peoples drama, as I think for the most part us gals just like to be nosy at time.  But, I have gotten better!

So my only advice to people is to calm down, and not worry about things that don't affect you.  Live your life how you want to, and I will do the same!

KINDERGARTEN!

Kiley's first day of school!

Kiley started kindergarten recently, and I still can't believe it!  She was so excited to start and has really enjoyed it so far.  Her teacher's name is Mrs. Pittman, and she is very sweet.

Her first day came and we had her clothes ready, had breakfast, and got ready.  She was pumped, and I was anxious.  I just couldn't imagine her being there without me all day.  I guess she doesn't need me quite as much as she used too.  Growing up so fast!  I didn't cry though, I did pretty good.  Just still can't believe she is in real school.  :)

2nd day!  Love that shirt!

I'm the worst blogger ever..

Well since my last blog post, we have moved to and back from California.  We moved to Monterey, California so that Chris could attend the Defense Language Institute. (DLI).  He changed his job from infantry to linguist.  He learned Indonesian and has done very well with it!  He has impressed me so much!  We knew we would only be there a short time as the school was about 12 months long, with the last 4 spent in Texas.  We chose to go ahead and come back to Alabama while Chris completes those last few so that Kiley could start KINDERGARTEN and not have to go to 3 different schools in one year.

We were extremely excited to get to Monterey.  I had at that point never been anywhere!  Lol.  It didn't quite meet up to expectations but it was definitely an experience.  I wish that I would have blogged while there, but you see how that went.  So I will simply promise to keep up with the blog now in this new chapter.  That, and show you some pics from our time there!..
