Silly brain...

I'm really only up because my brain won't shut up.
It's normal for me to have a million thoughts running through my mind at at time, but tonight, some of those thoughts are S C R E A M I N G at me.

Just to give you an insight, I'll give you a little peek as to what my brain is doing--
                 What was the name of that song? If our love is tragedy, why are you my clarity? Holy hell, I'm
                  pretty sure Ke$ha loves glitter ALMOST as much as I do. We should take a trip to see
                 South Carolina before we move out there. I really miss my mom. I should open a window; it's
                 hotter than hell in here. I need to make a packing list. Check on Grae. Download Spotify.
                 Make a roadtrip playlist. You really need to follow your dreams; you've been slacking on that.
                I need to get my hair done. The lines in this paragraph totally aren't even. Really should update
                the blog; but why? Nothing interesting to report here. Seriously, try out. Just get over your fears.
                Check the schools website; maybe they have the booklist up. You should probably go to bed,
                like... right now. Who the hell is texting me? YOU NEED TO CHASE YOUR DREAMS. I
                wonder if I should change my major.

Does anyone else see a repeat offender? I've been thinking a lot about how badly I've wanted to be a singer. Now, I don't know if that will ever happen, but I won't know if I don't try. I have absolutely NO talent in writing songs, but (not to toot my own horn or anything) I can seriously belt out a tune.

Is it insane of me to still want to pursue this? I have a lot going on in my life between Grae, school&' Kaleb enlisting in the Navy, but this is something I've wanted for a long time. Is it totally irrational? Gah.
Shut up, brain.

I need to turn in for the night..
I'll think on this more later. 

Ocean Deep...

Well, now that certain people have been told our exciting news, I am able to finally blog about it!

Kaleb is currently finishing his paperwork to become one of America's finest-- A sailor! That's right, Kaleb is enlisting in the Navy! He is deciding between two job paths-- a nuclear engineer (only about 2% of people enlisting in the Navy qualify) or a cryptologist (basically, an interpreter).

I have so many emotions regarding this, that sometimes it's so hard to wrap my head around it. I am excited that we're going to be able to travel and see the world, experience new things, and have the best life possible. But I am also struggling so much with the fact that once he is done with bootcamp, we will be moving across the country to South Carolina for a year, and then possibly New York for another 6 months. I have never lived so far from my family (I will also be the first in my family to move out of the state). I know that this will be such an amazing experience... But I can't deny that I am scared.

However, I am so proud of my husband for this. He is finally doing something to showcase his brains, and gain the confidence I have always wanted him to have. He is so incredibly smart and he deserves this. I married my hero, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be experiencing this adventure with him.

I will keep everyone updated as we travel through this process.
