I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a stay-at-home Army wife of four beautiful children, Cailin, Regan, Nevan, and Teagan. My husband and I have been married for eleven years. My husband, Sgt. Johnny Hickson, has been in the Army for thirteen years. We have been stationed as a family at Fort Hood, Texas, Baumholder, Germany, Fort Irwin, California. We've survived one deployment and we are anticipating a second one in the near future. We've also survived a year without him while he was in Korea. Now we are at our dream staion of Fort Carson, Colorado. I have a stubborn streak and I don't do things because everybody else is doing it. I try not to go with the status quo. If people tell me I have to do something, or that I have to believe something, I have a tendency of doing or believing the opposite. I love history and learning about the past, especially the parts they leave out of the text books.nicholevice layouts
