Big day!!! :)

Today was a really good day!
My dad was promoted to an E8, Master Sergeant.
Words can't even explain how proud of him i am. He has worked sooo hard to get where he is today.
Makes me want to work hard just watching him succeed.
The ceremony was very nice. They said some nice things about my dad
and then  my said some things too.
It is funny cuz his speech was only a couple minutes long and while he was at home was saying
how he had much more he wanted to say and that he didn't say them
because he hates being on the spot and talking about himself.
I laughed because you should hear him at home!!
You would think he was God or something LOL
It is always "dad rocks" or "dad is amazing" haha just stuff like that.
I told him well you sure don't have a problem talking about yourself at home hahaha.
He did great on his speech though and thanked his family the most.
It is true though...
most people don't realize how much military families go through with everything.
Most the time you don't get to see your spouse, dad, brother, sister.......whoever is in the military, very often.
It is very hard but as long as everyone supports each other
it makes it much easier.
But anyways I am just really proud of him.
He is truly my hero and I don't know what i would do without my dad.
I am a definite "daddy's girl" :)
Not complaining either. I think being a daddy's girl is the best actually.
He is and always has been here for me through EVERYTHING!!
I love you daddy!!

Now the other reason it is a good day.......
I am joining the Army!!
My dad and I went and talked to a recruiter today and he signed me up to take the ASVAB test.
I am sooo excited for this change!!
I take my test next thursday and I am going to get a book tomorrow to help me study for it.
AHHH I am seriously excited haha.
I think this will be a very good experience
and to all those people who said they dont think i can do it......
WELL I WILL SHOW YOU!!!!
MARK MY WORDS!!!!!
