Another year older, another year wiser?

So my birthday is coming up very quickly, in the next week. I'm an Aries, the fiery one. By the Chinese calendar, I'm a tiger. It's a very pragmatic combination, let me tell you. Anyways, the date is set, babysitter hired and my husband and I are going out, 6:45-11:00 PM. Not the most romantic idea to be on a timeline, but it works for us. Maybe in a few years when I hire a more reliable babysitter, mainly one that doesn't have to go to her real job at 6:30 the next morning, we'll do something more exciting, but I'm happy with my life and I hope this birthday to be very special. Wish me luck!

Redecorating...or decorating at last...

So we live in townhomes, my first experience. We're allowed to decorate as much as we want, which is a blessing. We're planning on doing a beach-house theme in the living room, with dark blue sofas and drapes, white wood offsets and light blue walls. The floors are hard wood but because we rent our home and don't own it, unfortunately they're not in the best of shape. It's slow going, but I've got lots of ideas and hopes for our area.

This is a simple bookshelve, we have a lot of books and are currently keeping most of them in a side closet. Also plan on keeping possibley curios or other decoratives in this.

These remind me of old fashined blown glass bottles, I was planning on putting pottporri, flowers and or seashells in these.


I think these would make some wonderful side tables, with drawers so we can keep most of our stuff away from the babies!

So We Went To The Zoo

You see I'm from San Diego and being from San Diego I can be proud to say that the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Wild Animal Park is the best of it's kind that I've seen or heard about. You can argue, that's fine, I won't change my mind on that. I'll give Florida a point on Disney World over Disneyland but San Diego has the best zoo. Anyways, back to the point, we went to the zoo in Baltimore and I was a tad disappointed, not to mention worn out by the time we were finished. To get to the animals in Baltimore, you have to either walk a half mile loop passing by the 'old zoo' which really means a half mile loop of trees and falling down buildings or you can take the trolley. The downside to the trolley is the fact that you have to fold your stroller. We have two kids and a lot of stuff in our stroller when we go anywhere to keep them happy. Needless to say, the trolley just wasn't happening. The only point I can give to Baltimore's zoo was the fact that you got really close to the animals. There was a giraffe petting/feeding area, a petting zoo and just about all the African animals. The HUGE downside was the fact that 90% of the exhibits were closed even though we went on 'opening day'. We walked through the Children's zoo, to be hugely disappointed by a long walk with maybe 2 animals out, no real activities for the kids and a temper tantrum from our oldest due to not being able to run across on the lily pad which were big floaties in water. (She's one, it wasn't happening. Yes, I know, I'm a mean mommie. She told me.) Not to mention that this portion of the zoo was set in 'Maryland's Bog' with narrow wooden walkways and some very shady looking surroundings. Anyways, needless to say, our day at the zoo was very disatisfying albiet it was good exercise whether that was our intention our not. I do have some cool photos which you can check out.
You can check these links out for comparison on the zoo's if you don't believe me or have no idea what I'm talking about.

Us - A Poem

Just a little something I wrote -

I used to feel so lost
Like I’d never be whole
I used to feel so hopeless
Like no one would ever want me
Then there was you
You keep me grounded
My heart keeps pounding
Every day together seems even better
Every night makes me feel alive
You hold me tight and I know
We were meant to be
No matter what’s happened before
We were meant to be
Because no one’s ever made me feel like this
Then there was you
And I knew

A Short Beginning Post - About Me and the Purpose of this Blog

So in short, I created this blog so that I could rant, vent, talk and get my feelings out there good or bad without anyone knowing who I am, hence my handle Anonymous Bloggette. So don't ask me who I am, I won't tell you and if you think you know me I won't admit to this blog either. There's a point to this, I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings and I don't want to have to worry that someone might try to use what I say here against me. I will tell you about my life though and a little background so you're not completely lost.

So, I'm a 22 year old woman stationed at Fort Meade for the United States Army. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it but I'm beginning to think I feel that about most things in my life. I have 2 kids, a son and a daughter and they light up my life. My kids are the main thing in my life that I would never ever think of hating. Every day seeing them getting bigger and growing and experiencing life just brings that ray of sunshine that I need to keep going. I'm married to a wonderful man who is the most loving, understanding person I've ever met. He thinks he's not good enough for me but he has no idea. He doesn't understand why I've created this blog, why I won't let him see it or why I feel the need to post my inner thoughts and feelings on the internet and honestly neither do I but I'm doing it and he's accepting and that's all that matters.
