How life is strange and mean....

So to catch everyone up. I cut my hair really short. I am talking it was almost to my butt and now it is above my chin short. I donated 16 inches to Locks of Love and then had about 5 more inches cut off. It is really cute. I will put picks up as soon as I can. I had my first DEP meeting and it was a lot of fun. We did some drill and then learned a little bit about what the Navy can offer us and our families. It was on Sydney's birthday. She and I met when I first went to MEPS. She will be leaving in June but we are hoping we might be able to leave together. She is a very sweet and funny girl. We hit it off really well and the funny thing is that she doesn't live far from my families ranch.

Now for the bad news for the week since it has been about that long since I last wrote. Our newest member of the family, Newfie, has hip displatia. For those of you that don't know what that is for dogs, after about two years it is very, very painful and possibly needs to have the dog put down. She is the best dog in the whole world. She learns so fast and remembers everything! She is very attached to mom and the family, but expecially mom. Little Gracie is taking it real hard too. It is a very sad thing for our family. We got her because we had to put our family dog down this last winter. He was old and had cancer. The vet said that he didn't have much longer to live except in pain. It was the saddest thing for me. I miss him and I will really miss our Newfie :(
