As I have been getting back into internet life through the new avenue of blogs, but also online shopping, and youtube subscriptions and a more involved use of facebook my thinker is thinking more thinks. And where that has brought me is this, I am more of a paper and pen girl. I really enjoy Xanga, and reading blogs, but privacy and internet legislation, and the actual temperance of people who share themselves this way is pretty scary. ACTA, PIPA, SOPA, CISPA, DIY wreaths, fake blog names, real names, only first names, only last names, some locations, some hidden locations, linked fb, linked pinterest, twitter, separate email accounts, as much as I do use facebook I do not share very much with facebook. I frequently edit my friends list to keep relevant with who I am sharing. I am at a point in my life where I have a lot of friends, but not very active friendships. I just got married, live in a new town, and not in my parents house; I recently have changed location, churches, and military branches, and that is okay with me. I thought maybe this would bring back an active group of friends, and in a way it has. I am a huge fan of quite a few bloggers, but as for me sharing back, I am not ready for that. I am creative and there will maybe be an audience for that part of me someday, but it is not today. Today I am a barely savvy internet user who is kind of scared of what is happening, legally, with the internet, and also of making privacy decisions if I was to become a more publicized blogger. So this experiment is closed, until further notice.
P.S. Another part of backing off of publicity is that our identity has been compromised a few times lately, through his debit card, and my phone, and that has also made me a little wary. Talk to your banks, talk to your phone companies about privacy, what gates are up, and what you should do about privacy on your smartphone, if you have one.

Well, its been a while...
That statement is as pathetic-excuse sounding as I feel.
Life has felt busy ... idk how. It's not the holidays or anything so that feels like a pathetic excuse...
Caught up on laundry, dishes, and house projects. Haven't really come around to working on THIS project though, my blog, diving back into html code, all that.
Lived a weird schedule the last week. There was an exercise at work and we lived like 4 AM was bedtime and 3 PM was breakfast. Oh yeah, it was as fun as it sounded lol.
But its over and he grabbed a day off! :D
You know what sucks more than dry eyes and contacts? pink eye and contacts. And no glasses.
But I will work through it for a few days til I get to go see my parents and sisters!
And maybe when I get back I will have some sort of renewed energy to dive into sharing my projects with you!

Exploration and Discovery
Perusing the blog world for the last month I have brainstormed about my life, my attitude, my voice, so many things.
I am following in the footsteps everyone is making with their thoughts and ideas and starting February I will be taking blogging more seriously. I see now that my "blog" isn't muich more than my xanga was - a thought outlet.
These are my twelve resolutions for 2012 and my word of 2012.
1. Lose 20 lbs.
I have gained at least ten since I met my husband in April 2011 and before that was on my way down froma size 16. I am back there now. And possibly a few heavier. I do not like how that feels or looks. That is going to change.
2. Make a cookbook.
I have collected and made so many recipes since I learned to cook and they are so unorganized. I hate that. I made a small cookbook for my sister last year when she started renting and having her own good-sized kitchen and her own family to cook for. I enjoyed it so much and can't wait to tackle this project.
3. Get renters insurance.
This is a small, easy thing, but something I definitely want to do this year. It is very important and a big mental leap, so I put it here.
4. Pay off student loans.
I went to college for a year and accumulated the student part of my loan which is about $5,000. Budgeting right will allow me and my husband to be rid of that debt so I can feel free to go back to school or not, and also free to pursue a job without being held back by debt collection agencies.
5. Make and follow a budget.
I will start this by keeping a journal all of February (two paychecks) of how we spend our money so I can accurately make a budget with knowledge of all the variables.
6. Shoot a rifle.
I have shot a little 22 at cans and logs, but never an animal-killing rifle. I would like to learn to hunt to further enjoy things my husband enjoys, as well as becoming more active in what comes to our table.
7. Learn to crochet.
I am crafty, but have not mastered this skill. I would like to. Not a lot of explanation here.
8. Make a tee shirt quilt.
My mother and I have collected tee shirts from my whole life. Camps, schools, extracurriculars, anything. I would like to keep and commemorate them, but a pile of tee shirts isn't cutting it and there is no way to display them without wasting space. What better way to keep something special then to make it something you have no reason to get rid of?
9. Re-register to vote.
Kind of like renters insurance, probably a simple task, but an important one. I think we will change our state residency to Tennessee, which includes drivers licenses and having an address there. IDK much about this... so I need to focus on this as much as other larger tasks.
10. Go on vacation to new places.
We have both traveled extensively in America and I would like to continue that tradition. My ideas are Savannah, GA and Lancaster, PA. (so far)
11. Go fishing.
Anothe husband/food thing. :D
12. Make a mission statement for our family.
I got this idea from a blog I think. I will get the source up later, along with quoted text, and also from teh movie Courageous. We are a new family with dreams of getting bigger, like any company or group it is important to know what our goals are.
My Word: CURIOSITY
I would like not only to HAVE curiosity, always asking and wondering and learning, but also to BE a curiosity as a wife and a woman that stands out for her actions, attitude, character, accomplishments, etc.

The bane of my existence. Otherwise known as laundry.
Ick. Folding. Hanging. Putting up. It never stops. And that is my task for today since we are going away for the weekend.
It was going well, as in it was done, but now that I think about it it wasn't going so well...
I pretty much didn't do laundry since the wedding until mid-December and then waited again until mid-January. But I felt good about it. It was all done when I headed out the door for our birthday trip, and then ... the demolisher went through all my clothes, purses, scarves, linen closet, and fabric. And now I feel like I felt when we got fleas in everything. Helpless with a neverending pile sitting in my little laundry room in front of my little washer. :-(
but i am getting it done slowly but surely and now i have gotten some folded, and am working on getting my husband to hang up the rest. :D
Also I am utilizing an idea from pinterest today to get my jewelry off the living room. Interestingly enough in a very thin antique drawer. Mmmm I love antiques and finding things at auctions with my mom.
The picture is a bar installed on the inside of a wardrobe with S hooks to hang necklaces but i am just going to use a tension rod and S hooks and stick it somewhere... not sure where yet. But pretty excited to use a tension rod seeing the uses for them everywhere, mainly magazines and pinterest. :D
anyway just wanted to chat a little but now I am getting to work on laundry and pizza dough for dinner :D

Working on a few projects...
I have a baby shower of a friend coming up and this started me on a few projects.
I also really have started indulging my creative side since someone demolished my organized apartment.
So I started on a search of a new way to organize a few things. Mostly my shoes. I have extremely narrow doors and doorways and the only way I have successfully stored my shoes for the last seven or more years has been hanging pockets. It isn't so successful as cumbersome now. Haven't found many ideas as of yet... but my brain took many other journeys on my search so here I am with a few projects in a hand and a stained tee shirt on :D
Also my jewlery box is positively a disaster, so I am working on that as well. Throwing around ideas of vertically hung utensil drawers or making a miniature rack from pretty molding and small hooks. all painted the same color.
I grabbed a couple plaque shaped pieces of wood and wooden letters and brackets to make them hangable at hobby lobby. Then a sanding sponge and wood stain at Walmart.
I am painting the plaques lavender and have stained the letters American something its sort of a medium dark, which is why I am going with the lighter purple. I am going to glue them together with wood glue and put the brackets on the backs. so that she can hang them in the baby's room.
The second project is this square trunk I have. It was trash picked by my dad when we lived in Virginia. It is covered with a picture of a cat. Basically a wall paper material. Think, cheap, and damaged by water. So I ripped off the paper and am staining it with the same stain. It is cheapy material as well. Particleboard, so not as pretty as the plaque boards and wooden letters, but it is coming along nicely. better than a picture of a grandmotherly cat.
I will put up pix soon, but am not committing to that much work right now.
Adding to the creative mayhem I am going to a quilting shop tonight.
In other news, I am stalking blogs and subscribing with no abandon and thouroughly enjoying it. :D
Ever since the "break in" and my phone starting to malfunction leading me to delete a large game I have been attempting to be more adult like. Mostly in the cleaning department. Not that it has lead me to fold clothes. :/ But I feel very good about the direction this is going.
Keep you posted.

Wishing I had clever names, but usually I'm only funny when I am mad.
And that attitude is so five hours ago and probably in five minutes after this when I have to deal with the fact that my phone seems to be crashing.
Wandered around today. Watched bones. went through jewelry. Dressed up and went to lunch. Then the real wandering started I went to the hospital and picked up some prescriptions with all the other old timers lol and then hopped over to a thrift store and the commissary and the exchange. Stopped by a friends house, but missed her.
Got home got a phone call and then had a fit about the apartment. Watched hubby play around and now we are watching Sylvia Plath. Love it so far.
Its a thinker and I love those once in a while. And she is a romantic writer. I like that. So hear I came to my writing board. After spending a while on the wonderful pinterest. I am so in love, even though I am barely committed lol.
Hubby is irritated so I will bathe and sleep. Who knows what tomorrow brings. Swamp people meeting or flea market. Fun none the less. :D xoxo

Having fun.
Sorted through all my emails and they are now categorized. Yay for small victories.
I also got back to emails from myself when I emailed my favorites from my old phone and put them on my new one. Yay for more small victories!
Talked to an old friend and back to besties! Yay for big victories!
And caught up on Jenna Marbles new video and sxephil's news. Yay for what most would consider wasting time! lol
I have been busy trying to get my house back into shape and that included subscribing to three more websites. two are organizational and one is ... wait for it ... pinterest! Yay for bandwagon things that are awesome!
Anyway I think I will get started posting since I feel I may get kicked off for ineffective activity or something.
Get back to you soon!

The voice I had imagine was more sophisticated, but this is just me.
I am recently 23 and recently a wife and recently more separated from my immediate family longer and more permanently than I have ever been.
I have been having a hard time sleeping lately, going in and out of winter colds, and in and out of my menstrual cycle, but I feel like something tugging at me.
The monotonous tone of my relationship. Maybe it was just this odd Christmas that wasn't as jolly as others have been. Maybe I am scared of losing myself as I have been at this point in some relationships.
Am I losing my spontaneity with every folded t-shirt? every put away dish? It is starting to feel like that.
I have gained at least ten pounds since April and hate it. It feels so uncomfortable in my clothes, my sleep, my walk. But in this nasty apartment complex with very little outdoors feel to it, I can barely coax myself to walk the dog, much less walk myself.
I haven't read since Christmas, haven't sewn since summer, and haven't exercised since then either.
Where is Amanda? She is getting sadder and feeling more lost every day. Not lost to God, I feel him there, taking care of us, but lost for what my calling is right now.
I have no purpose. Wife comes naturally, what is the thing I must push myself to do?
I will return to Bible Study this week, and church soon, probably not tomorrow, and have thought about looking into school... so I guess I just glance up at my own motto and
Keep moving forward.

My voice.
The sermon on Sunday concerning John the baptist (John 1:19-27) raised three questions for every believer.
1. who are you/confess
2. don't remember lol
3. how are you conducting yourself and why
the point I'm at obviously is three. I feel called to join the internet community in spreading my voice and now I know that my faith needs to be central in what I portray.

Definitely a fun day.
Got to get on base today after hubby passed his pt test. Yay for my 29'' waisted guy. lol
Checked out the new bx, which is the base exchange which is a shopping center for us.
Clothes, food, household decor and furniture, outdoor, electronics, toiletries, etc.
A lot larger than our old one, which was pretty much depressing.
After an hour and a half there, I headed over to the old bx where there is a thrift store that is only available to lower enlisted families. Donated some bags which they were in dire need of last time I went.
Hopped over to the commissary, which is our grocery store, and grabbed a few things.
Then quickly to the library where I got the second Anne book: Anne of Avonlea and another book by the same author.
And scooted over to the post office to grab stamps for the thank you notes, which now that I am thinking of it, we may have not needed thirty because some we will include in Christmas gifts. Oh well, a few extra stamps won't hurt, until the usps raises stamp tax or whatever that is.
Got to thinking again today how much I hate WalMart. I am so glad to have recently committed to stop going there. It is destroying the American economy and job market and it is superbly annoying to go there and at times in Sumter, even dangerous.
Got home, got some online shopping done, in preparation for Christmas. Found a nutcracker for my Mom from Etsy - what a lovely place! And looking for a wedding album for myself, as the pictures are coming in about two weeks, and that will be the project I work on for a while. :)
We only really have two gifts left to get, for my brother- and mother-in-law. Should be pretty easy to grab them in the weeks ahead. What I am really waiting for is our Christmas tree!!! I think I will get one from a local market around the corner from us, and not many ornaments this year, but already have a string of lights to put on it. That reminds me of another item I am on the lookout for: a tree topper. I am not sure what will even suit our taste, but I am defnitely excited about the hunt.
And tomorrow is the new Jenna Marbles, which is always an anticipated event.
Hopefully get some thank you notes done tomorrow, and possibly order my mom's nutcracker and a tree topper.
Glad for the cold weather, I am ready for it to feel wintery! In celebration of the cold I made Spanish Hot Chocolate - what a treat! (Really simple: melted chocolate, milk, cream, sugar, salt, and the kicker is the nutmeg!) I discovered such treat when I was taking Spanish 4 at Quantico High School and our teacher found some Abuelita at a local Spanish Mercado. It is like a block of sandy cocoa mix, but so so spicy and wonderful. I am sure it was not just nutmeg in that mix!
Got to talk to my sister today and definitely reaching out to friends again now that I am back on facebook. Life is good.
The pastor of our church comes over Saturday, one of our close friends is visiting the state before she moves to a foreign country. And Christmas church events are scattered in the upcoming weeks. Looks like a pretty cheerful season ahead.
I may just be blabbering, but this is making my head feel so cleared and unstressed, but I will sign off for tonight.

Introductions
I have wanted to revamp blogging in my life for such a long time. I sort of chatter on xanga, but it was more of a journal than anything. Seeing where communication is going in the world I really want to have my say, and now that I am a proud wife and definitely growing up in strides I have my chance and I am grabbing it.
I am very crafty so I may post blogs with craft ideas.
I also love getting involved so I may post about local events.
I am a military wife and before that I was a military brat. I may post ultra-patriotic things. :)
I don't really watch news, so whatever I hear is tidbits of what people tell me (and may read more into) or what I read.
I am a christian and may post about what Christ has done for me and can do for you.
I am a wife and am looking for the best way to run a household, and ways to have fun with my husband and information that will help me be the best mother I can be so I may post corny advice about how to clean, cook, or pamper a stay at home wife/mother.
I feel like a pretty open-minded person and definitely love to learn so I hope to gain knowledge from whomever or whoever looks at my page.
I don't have much to say today, but cheers to having a blast busting into the information highway!

I don't have much to say today, but cheers to having a blast busting into the information highway!
