Im becoming a real girl!

I have never really considered myself a real girl because I have never really done girl things. Like crafts, or sewing, baking... all that sissy stuff. I blame this on the fact that I grew up with mostly brothers, I only have one sister and well... she (like me) could be confused as another brother most of the time. With that said, I would like to say that I (and my sister for that matter) have become more girly with age. I can cook... I can even bake! I can do my hair (Tifani is better at this one than me by far!) And just yesterday I found out I can sew!! Who would have thought?!
I decided that I wanted to make a purse. I went to the fabric store to get the fabric I wanted, with my friend Anna (whose sewing machine I am borrowing.) I even made my own pattern! And the purse is actually coming together! I am excited for it to be finished. I think it is going to be cute. My mother-in-law (the seamstress) is going to be proud.... once she believes that I am the one actually sewing it.  :) 


This is my fabric. The navy is going to be the outside color. 

This is the outside of it. I made those cool seams! 

Small pox...

We found out a couple of weeks ago that Sean is up for deployment. As part of Sean's pre-deployment screening he had to get the anthrax vaccine and the small pox vaccine. We don't know when or where he is going yet but we do know that his small pox vaccine worked...

It is even more nasty looking now... it gets worse everyday! Could you imagine having these all over your body?!
