A bit about this Country Gal

Well I though it might help me to get through life in general to start a blog and give me an outlet to show my pictures to my family once the baby is born.  Let me use this post to share a little about myself.

I was born in Southern California in a suburb of Los Angeles but moved from there when I was 5 years old to the small country/military town of Mountain Home, ID.  I don't really have any recollections of ever living in California just vague impressions.

I am an only child and the youngest of 5 children.  At this point you are probably questioning that statement but it is wholly true.  I am my mother's only child and my daddy's youngest child, the product of a second marriage.  I have 3 older half-brothers and an older half-sister.  I love them dearly and typically we don't use that little 4 letter word "half" when speaking because we think of each other as brothers and sisters.  I have 7 nieces and nephews ranging in age from 35 year to 5 years.  I also have 3 great-nieces, a great-nephew, and one on the way as my niece Sarah is pregnant right now.

Currently I am still residing in my hometown of Mountain Home, Idaho (remember I don't recall life in California) courtesy of the United States Air Force.  My husband, who is a Tech Sergeant in the USAF, is stationed at Mountain Home AFB and we are buying a house in Mountain Home about a mile from where I grew up.  There are worse places to live in this country so I can't really complain.

Life as a Military Spouse has been an eye opener to say the least.  Not sure how others deal with it but for me there has been a lot of tears, yelling and prayer.  The first 2 don't really do much except help me get the emotional part out of me, but PRAYER has been the most helpful.  While I don't feel like God is answering the way I want Him to answer I know He is answering me.  He gave me this wonderful gift of a child growing inside me and a handsome husband who loves me very much.  God also is providing for our needs even tho I haven't been able to work due to the typical annoyances of the first trimester.  God is great in so many ways and He is always there for us.
