Blog Star!

(woo I found a legit reason to procrastinate housework, blogging!)

Well hello there! 

My name is Alana, I think this is my first time linking up to Mrs Monologues Blog Star, so if you found me from there, Welcome! I hope you like what you see! You can find me on Facebook and occasionally on Twitter. 

I am a Marine Wife, currently living in Helena, Montana. My husband is stationed here on Recruiting Duty, Which we both dislike. Mostly because its monotonous, and kids are flaky. In my opinion RD should be a two year tour, we are almost at two years and Hubby is really getting burned out on it. It's high stress, and hard on families. 

My family consists of Paul the Marine, Me, two Boston Terriers (Aiko & Renji) a cat Taco, and we have a human baby expected to arrive in early December. 

I was born and raised in Tucson, Az. Then we lived for almost 3 years in Chicopee, Ma where Paul was on I&I duty. From there we went to Okinawa, Jp. Okinawa is where my heart is. We are hoping that we will get return orders after RD, so in one year hopefully we'll be about to move there. I talk about Japan A LOT mostly because I miss it A LOT! If Okinawa were a person, I would be a stalker. Okinawa would have to take out a restraining order on me, and I would still stalk her. I follow many Oki blogs, youtube channels and facebook pages. It's a bit of an unhealthy obsession.


So that's my story. Follow my blog to join the ride!


and for anyone who's been following along, my google reader is now up to 503 unread blogs. I am trying to catch up but I'm about to give up and just mark them all as read. I clearly follow too many blogs and need to weed out a few....dozen.
