everyday is a new day. each day brings new adventures. and it's up to you how you go about your day. you can make it wonderful or have it rain on your parade. sometimes there are circumstances beyond your control but you can always see it as a blessing in disguise. i don't understand some of the wives make themselves hermits and then complain about having nothing to do or not having friends to hang out with. you really don't need to be bff's with everybody but it doesn't hurt to smile and say hi when you walk past someone while you're out for walk, or make small take at the dog park. when i walk and i see people hanging out in their drive way i like to wave and say hi. who knows what doors that'll open up. i've met so many amazing people just starting off like that and i wouldn't change it. you don't have to be a complete extrovert to do it either! remember smiling takes less work than frowning.

i've been spending several hours a day at the dog park and taking my time when i walk. i love the fresh air and talking to everyone. it really brightens up my day. i haven't gotten baby fever yet for baby #2 but i love how everyone keeps egging us on for another one. it's interesting seeing everyone coo over babies that aren't their's lol. another wife in our unit and i have decided we are going to get together and throw a nice thanksgiving dinner for us, some other couples and the single marines that wants to join us. i think that it'll be really nice and i'm so excited to be able to plan and execute. i bought several more photo frames so i've gotta find the time to put them all up but i know i can do it :)
