I would never be complete without my firefamily. When I answer women on other boards it’s truly hard to answer because I understand that I live in a tight-nit group. Our class of guys graduated and went seperate ways, but then one of them came to our side the end of this year. OMG, best thing EVER. I love him, I love his wife, I LOVE HIS DAUGHTER. lol His little (3) girl loves to wrestle and annoy our (11) boy. lol It’s awesome.
But most of all, I truly will never get over how much love I get. They know me, they accept me for my faults that are many and they want to spend more time with me. It’s not just because they love my husband and they truly do, but the wives do come and hang with me as well. That is a sign and unfortunately I’m a well read reader of signs. But everyone we TRULY hang with is so awesome.
I wish a big, huge, merry Chrismas to those in my life. I wish extra strength to those with family staying with them. I also wish a huge amount of strength to those that have family that is so different than they are. My kids understand. I’m so different than grandma and grandpa. We love them, but I’m so different. I am so much LIKE my aunt. lol It’s how the apple falls and thankfully I am surrounded by many that love me for who I am, let alone what shift I am.
I’m ready to plan a shift wives vaca, cause we need to start small somewhere.

i found your blog on twitter through fire daily. i love reading your posts and sharing them with my girlfriends about what it is that i do. they think i have this glorious job being with the guys all day, but they don’t understand how to the guys, im one of them even though i am female. i wish i could have shared this blog with my last boyfriend. maybe he’d has understood my choices better no matter how much we talked about it. why id leave him at 3am for an alarm, or why i didnt want to go out to dinner after working a roll over. i hope you had a great christmas and wish a safe, happy, and healthy new year to you and your family.

Hi Jules, so glad you did find my blog. Yeah in the future send a boyfriend over to read. lol It’s not easy being the SO and for some it’s impossible. You just have to find someone that is as compassionate as you are. Off to your blog now
