I have no idea how do this (blogging). I am a very good talker and "story teller" so we will see how this all pans out.
I wanted to start doing something like this because last night as I sat with Jeff watching T.V. it came to me that I could barely remember things that I at the time it happened told myself "I wanna remember this". My mother in law has told me before that I should keep a journal of some kind and write down all the little things the kids do that I don't want to forget. That of course is an awesome idea, but when you live in a house of chaos all the notebooks around here either get colored in, spilled on, ripped up or just plain lost!
My daddy has always told me that if you can't say it write it. That is something I have used A LOT.
In the past people have told me "Holly you could write a book", that is something I would really like to do and have actually looked into it, not only for me but Cecilia as well (she has a great imagination). Right now this is the best thing for me and in the future we will see what happens.
Ok if you are reading this and you don't know me, or if you do know me maybe you don't know all there is to know about me. For starters my name of course is Holly Staton I am 30 years old married to a wonderful man who is also in the United States Army. We went to school together and also went to his Jr prom. After that we went our separate ways. He moved to Auburn Alabama and I moved to New York (Bronx), In the year 2000 I moved back to Scottsboro, met a guy Andrew and had my first child Cecilia. Things didn't work out with Andrew and I which was for the best, but we are still real good friends. By chance Jeff and met back up and now 9 years and 5 kids later here we are! Of course I am leaving out SOOO much but that is the run down.
Jeff , the kids and I now live in Baumholder Germany, we have been here for almost 3 years. I am so ready to leave here, which we will be doing soon. White Sands Missle Range in New Mexico is where we will be moving to later this year.
We have survived as a family threw 3 deployments to Iraq and one move to Germany LOL. It is and was very hard leaving everyone, having the boys over here by myself while he was deployed and I was half a world away from our families. But we did it!! The saying "what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger"......that is now our family motto!
Jeff had taken the kids to get school supplies and clothes that is the only way I have been able to sit here and do this lol.......he is back now and they want to model and show off all the new things.
