Changes

Well the days are winding down. It's now the 22nd of Aug and my days in SD are getting fewer and fewer. As much as I will miss this place. There are other things I won't miss, so I decided to make a list of things I won't miss in SD and here it goes.

10. Not having a yard, I live a loft APT right now and I have no yard for Cami to play in! And Jeremy's rule is No Yard, No Dog! So I am looking forward to a yard!

9. Being 6 blocks from my parents, don't get me wrong I love my mom and dad. It's just that with me being so close they except me to stop by everyday and see them or that they can stop at my place whenever!

8. Having to wear BDU/ACU's everyday! I love my job and all but I can't wait to be able to wear normal clothes everyday to work!

7. Having to wear a Bun in my hair everyday! I can't wait to let my hair down, last weekend I wore my hair down and I can't believe how long it's gotten!

6. Paying for daycare! It's expensive! Cami will be in daycare some of the time but not full time so that will save me some money!

5. Worrying about what people in my hometown think! I am so sick of being judged and looked down on me! I am happy people so be happy for me!

4. Having to explain why I am getting out of the military! I have served my term and now I am done! I will always support the troops, but i need to think about my daughter!

3. Seeing the same people doing the same thing every time I go out.

2. Trying to do a million thing at once by myself. OK I am over doing it, but I will be nice to have help with Cami, housework, and other chores!

1. Sleeping by myself! I can't wait to sleep beside Jeremy every night!

So I know it's be over a year.... so i have a lot to check up on. First of all Cami is great! She just turned 2 and can sometimes be a little stinker! But she is great! Second, I am extremely happy to say I have been dating Jeremy for almost a year! He's home from Iraq and at Ft. Carson on Medical Hold. He has some back and neck problems that need to be fixed. And then it's home to me in Dells for about a month, then we are planning on moving to Dickinson, ND. Yes, that's right I am moving! Who would have thought. He's the most wonderful guy I have every met and I don't know what I would do with out him! And bonus, Cami love him too!

Work is going good. I am still working full time for the SD Army Guard. I should be done with this military stuff in January so I can go back to just being a normal person and just worry about taking care of my family!

Well that's about it!

Ok so It's been forever

I know I haven't posted in forever so here goes. Life as been a rollercoster for me in the last few months. Between Cami, work, and my trip to California I am ready for a real break in life.

First of all Cami turned 1 on the 12th of July. I can't believe she is already a year old. Time flys. This also means that her father has been gone for a year and it's getting closer to the time he will be coming home. (if you didn't already know he's in Iraq) I am looking forward to have Cami be able to get to know him better and have a some extra help when I need. Not to menchen a night off every once and awhile would be nice too. Anyways here is a picture of Princess Cami on her 1st her birthday. Hope all is well with everyone else.

1 weekend a month 2 weeks a year my ass!

So for those of you that don't know already I'm in the South Dakota Army National Guard. Which mean one weekend a month and two weeks a year, or so I thought. Figuring this all out I have put a lot more time than that into my unit lately and I'm kind of pissed at them right now. I put in as much time as I can, I take off work, school and time with my kid to help them out whenever I can. I am thinking maybe this will help me out and they would ask me to help out the next time they have a temp job opening. Well guess what, there one open right now. So I figured great I have my foot in the door and maybe they will call me. Oh no, they go right past me to a guy who has be in 2 less years than me and has no qualifations for the position. Yep that's right the guy that gets to choose the temp is a sexist prick! yep i said it a sexist prick! ok i'm done. I'll right more later

I don't want to grow up

So how come we have to grow up? Sometimes I wish I could go back to 16, when I didn't have to worry about anything. All I had to do is get up and go to school. I didn't have to pay rent, bills, or go to work. I think about all the good times I had and how it seems that I didn't have a care in the world. But when I was 16 all I wanted to be what 25. Funny how that changes?
Man, now I am 25 and I can tell you what, I am not where I thought I was going to be back then. I figured I would be married, with at least 2 kids, and a good job. Well, I guess I have part of that a kid. It's just strange how when your a kid you can't want to grow up and when you a grown up, you want to go back to being a kid.

So, I guess everyone else I know seems to be doing this blog thing so I guess I am gonna try it out too. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Hollie. I'm 25 and live in a small town in South Dakota. I am a single mother of a six month old little angle Cami! She is my life!
I am currently attending Southeast Tech, in Sioux Falls, SD studying Marketing and Business Admid. I'm also a member for the South Dakota Army National Guard and I love that. Oh yeah, I guess I work at HSBC Credit Card Services, but that is the reason I 'm going to school. I don't like my job at all. I am hoping someday to have a a music career but Nashville will have to wait a few years until Cami is old enough to move with me.
I'm posting som pictures of Cami that were taken last week. She is getting huge! Well that's all for now.
