Lets give this a try...

I have no idea how to work this, give me some time and hopefully I won't forget I have a blog and I'll learn to use it. Rachel Camp gave me this idea, thanks girl. I don't have myspace anymore, so maybe this will work out for me to put up pictures and videos to share with you all.

An update on us, Fred picked up second class and has gotten so motivated that he's decided to go to med school. Yep, that means the rest of our lives in the Navy. Times are rough, so having a military life right now isn't so bad besides the fact that we live so far away from everyone. Its a steady job that puts food on the table and gets us what we need and Im thankful for it. So give Fred about 10 years and you can start calling him Doc Menchaca...and I'll be in the background sitting in my Mercedes waiving hello =] In the mean time Freds getting everything ready to get into IDC school which is basically a mini doctor. Since he just picked up rank, he has to wait two years to enroll into that school and right now he's getting his prerequisites out of the way.

As for me, um, Im still me only a mom now. Sometimes it feels like Im not a mom, like Im babysitting for one of my sisters or something. Then comes those 4 am feedings and Jovani is still here, so yeah, its true, hes mine and Im definitely a mom. Once January comes Im going to get on the right track and drop some Lbs. I lost all of my 17 pounds of baby fat I gained but I want to lose more. Living on base has its perks, a free gym that I will be going to. So next time my family sees me I'll look like I did when I was in high school, hopefully =P

Jovani is seven weeks today! He has gotten so big so fast. He went from this

to this

Big difference huh? He smiles so much and in the middle of the night I'll hear him laugh and talk to himself, he's so cute. He loves to stretch and eat, but most of all poop lol

Well, Christmas is two days away and it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. I have to say, that I've become very home sick =[ now more then ever. I miss my family and friends and its not the same without them. Not to mention the good 'ol below zero weather Im missing out on. I hate Texas. Its 40 out here right now which gives me at least some kind of comfort I guess. But I did put up my tree, I added some ribbon but I haven't even gotten a star yet. Whoops, Ill wait til everything is on sale.

And a pic of Jovani to end this blog.
