The Family Playground

I am Amanda. Wife to Ray. Mom to Alyssa (5) and Adia (3). We are currently stationed at Hurlburt Field AFB in Florida aka the Redneck Riviera. Our girls are the light of our life, but my husband is my soul. He is my best friend. He is currently deployed to Iraq until August or so.
I am a SAHM and I like to cook, bake, read and am starting online classes to finish up an Associates degree in applied science in hopes of getting into a nursing program at our next base if we are stateside.
Both girls take swim lessons and I suspect that within the year Alyssa will be going into gymnastics and Adia may be going into ballet, or gymnastics. Whichever makes her happier.

Hey y'all.

Not new but took a major long break and decided to came back.

We are currently in Utah but DH is off to asia *thanks a lot air force* for a year and hopefully we will be on the east coast as we have been trying to do for the past 3 years. If he gets the base of our choice as his follow on than we shall be moving there as soon as Sept.

I became a makeup artist a few months ago and am currently doing that freelance. I really enjoy doing that a great deal. As an added bonus DH has really been doing some great things in photography so we work together. He was published a couple times.

My kiddos are great. The oldest is almost a teenager, DD is in second grade and little man is almost old enough to start school.
