Go Army...

Sorry I have not written on here in soo long...Im going ot start writing again! 

So in my life lately I have been deciding on some life altering routes to take, that would change the course of my life forever.  I have decided to join the Army. I have known I was gonan join for a long time now. But just barely started telling people. I knew there would be a lot of opposition toward me for this but I never thought that it would be nearly as bad as I thought it would be. For this reason is why I waited to tell people so that I could mentally prepare myself. 

When I told my parents they were both very supportive. I wasnt sure how my father would take it seeing as he is a Navy guy not an Army but he is okay and supportive just wants me to make sure I know what I am getting myself into you know? But my moms reaction shocked me. I thought she would flip out or start crying or what not. But she said okay and then hung up. I called her back a few days later after I knew she already digested it and asked her how she felt about it and she was really supportive about it. She hates the military but she said she was ready and proud to support me that she thinks this would be good for my life.

Now I wish that was the reaction I got from the rest of my family. My aunt Brenda knew from the start and has been supportive all the way. She is being very helpful and so is her Husband John. Justin my brother on the other hand flipped out. This was a shock to me cause I honestly thought he would be supportive but I guess not.  Same as my little sister Brittany she was not very supportive and I believe my grandparents and older sister dont really have an opinion on the matter.

What has shocked me is as I have been telling people out here in Utah I have had a huge wave of support. They are like just as excited as I am about it. But I have also had those few people that will attack me for it. But thats why i prepared myself for it.

Well off to church Ill write more later!

Thanks for all the love and support!
