But I know soon we'll be together, and i can't wait till then...

Well, hello blog world!!! sorry it's been awhile again i've been cheating on you with Tumblr ;) Well, it's EASTER here! So Happy Easter to Everyone(and if you don't celebrate Easter, i'm sorry) nothing much has been going on...STILL kicking this deployment's ass..the days just keep flying by & i hope they continue to do so. I am so excited for him to come home though i can barely take it anymore!! haha This week the month of April will be OVER and thank goodness because April has been such a busy month...May will be kind of BUSY but not as busy thank the Lord. May does has some exciting things though...Eric Church's concert, My future Sister in Law's bachelorette party that i am throwing for her, Strawberry Hill races(like a mini Kentucky Derby), My Friend's Kat & Cullen's Wedding then on Memorial Day i am OFF to the Outer Banks for the week for my Brother's Wedding the following Saturday on June 4th :) Lot's of things to keep me BUSY & MOVING through this deployment. This deployment has taught me so much & taught me to never take my Husband for granted...he is the best thing to ever happen to me & i fall more in love with him each day...my love for him was always strong, but now it's just beyond strong i can't even explain it. I can't wait for him to come home and have a wedding for our family & friends and go to Disney World for a whole week...He's never been so i am beyond excited to share this experience with him!! It's RACE TIME this weekend & i'm SO excited :) Race Day are my favorite times in the spring and the fall...i can always feel when it's coming and i get soooo excited. Since Hubby can't be here i'm bringing my bestie, Brittany, we're always a crazy twosome when we're together so it should be a BLAST! :) :) Well, i will try not to cheat so much and write more often ;) Hope you all have an awesome EASTER & the Easter Bunny is good to you all. till next time...

Never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved

Well Ya'll it's been awhile...let's see what has been happening...Well the country decided to go crazy when there was almost a government shutdown! The most people that went crazy i noticed were the Military Wives!! Me being a Military Wife myself I did not freak out one BIT about this whole Government Shutdown and them not paying the Military, a lot of these Military Wives were blaming Obama & making statuses about how can they stop Military Pay and yadda yadda...Well, let's get some things straight first of all...this Country seriously needs to stop blaming Obama for every little thing and sit down and take a Government class or a civics class or something!!! Obama had no control over what was happening this was ALL Congress(yes, Obama did make threats if they didn't come to an agreement, but of course he did!! wouldn't you if you wanted something done? yes) and also this whole Government Shutdown had NOTHING to do with the Military...the Military was NOT being targeted Obama and ALL Congressmen agreed that the Military deserved to be paid no matter what! this whole thing was about freaking Planned Parenthood THAT was what couldn't be agreed on and ALSO the one time the Government DID shutdown a BILL was passed to ensure the Military STILL GOT PAID! Of course, the government Shtudown was avoided and everything is A ok(right now) and i can't tell you enough how glad i am and how OVER IT i was. People were getting straight up ridiculous with their bashing of Obama. Other than that mess life has been fairly breezy :) Babe is in port and i hope having a little bit of fun...i've heard that the signal there is kinda crappy so i'm guessing no skype :( i woke up at 7:30am to be prepared because he told me to be ready today after 8am...well it's now 11:14am and have heard nothing :( So it's a bit disappointing that the signal sucks, but the only thing that matters is he tried to skype! :) but hopefully i get some emails and maybe a call later? ;) that would be nice!!! Well, Saturday i'm supposed to be in a Wedding, but that's just not happening because i am frankly over my cousin and how rude she is and how i don't even KNOW anything about where im supposed to be am i supposed to have my hair done what jewelry she wants us to wear...nothing! and it;s already Tuesday if i needed to make a hair appointment i'm a little late huh? So, obviously me being in her Wedding isn't that important to her anyways! but speaking of Weddings...Adam and I have decided to have one afterall :) He's the oldest Child & Grandchild and i didn't want to take that away from his Mom and Grandparents & of course my Mema has been asking me everytime she's seeen me when am i having my real wedding so she can watch me get married...So, i've come to the conclusion to try and throw one together when he comes home :) as long as i find out his leave date in time!!!! hopefully this month :) Not much has been going on though...just patiently waiting for his homecoming, doing school work, working, going to the gym, & hanging out with friends!! I hope to have another update again soon...can't believe we're almost at the downhill side of this deployment :) :) ready for it to be over and ready to have him back home!!! i'll update as soon as i can...till next time xoxo

a little annoyed

So, i'm a bit annoyed & pissed off right now. I went to a party tonight that one of the wives threw and i had invited one of my friends from home to go with me...when i asked her she was ALL about it...then the day before the party my friend texted me and said that they had just left the Dr's office and found out they had tonsilitis & would not be able to make it to the party...ok..completely understandable...i've been there, i've had tonsilitis strep and was miserable!!!! So, i invited someone else to come along which is fine...that girl rocks!! but, then i get home tonight and find out...my friend that was sick went to work today, went to make a pot, and went to someone else's house...Now, for somone thats SOOOOO sick and can't make it to a party ith me sure did do a hell of a lot tonight. So, i'm just annoyed that if she didn't want to go with me then why didn't she just say that??? i mean i know she was probably sick but, come on...don't go out the night you were supposed to come to a party with me if you're THAT sick.

A cold beer on a Friday Night, A pair of jeans that fit just right...

A cold beer is exactly what i need tonight...after the fabulous day i had(sike!) Well, it started out okay...I went and got the girl i watch like usual and today was a no gymnastics day so that means i have to stay till 5:30pm...which was not good today because i had tons of errands to run later...but, i sucked it up and stayed anyways! Well, her Grandma got there at about 5pm so i was like YES i can leave a little earlier than i thought...her Grandma parked in the driveway but, in a way that i THOUGHT i could still maneuver out of the driveway...hahah BOY was i wrong!!! So, i'm backing out and i think i'm doing a good job...i'm in a hurry and trying to avoid her car and the little girl standing in the yard....While i'm backing out as the girl i watch yells DITCH! yeah...that's where i found myself...in the ditch...and stuck!!! My wheel was right up against the concrete and it would not pull forward or reverse and i couldn't turn the wheel...fabulous...faboulous...faboulous. Not only am i embarrassed but, i'm also running even MORE late...and of course, the husband is gone & the dad is at work an hour away. So, i call my mom and she calls my brother and sister in law! i knew all i needed to do was put it in neutral and push...but, unfortunately i only had a grandma and a 10 year old to work with...no beuno! so, finally my brother and sister in law and uncle all arrive and we got my truck out!! of course, not before they took pictures and and asked me how in the world did i get myself stuck like that...what can i say? i'm a genius. Bad Luck follows me like it's my job. So, of course that took 2 hours and i didn't get home till about 7!!! But, finally my mom and i got to run our errands which took forever...and my mom took the wrong exit(she swears she didn't but, she did!) and spent too long in David's Bridal to order another Bridesmaid's dress(dear friends & family...stop getting married!!!!) Which going into David's Bridal is HELL enough...then to target & to martin's...and by 9:00pm i STILL had not eaten...all day to be exact so, just imagine the kind of mood i was in...I wanted to Noodles but, being 9pm they were closed so i settled for Chik fil a...which i barely tasted cause i scarfed it down! and, i decided to give up SODA for lent...so my caffeine withdrawl headaches have been a pain in the ass. but, now i'ts 12am and i just got out of the shower and i have to wrap my future SIL's bridal shower present(which is huuuuuge, btw) and hopefully go to sleep on time to enjoy those wonderful festivities tomorrow...let's hope i'm done babysitting early tomorrow because after today and tomorrow i'm going to need a cold one(or 2 or 3)
I also am in need of a pair of jeans that fight just right...no such thing when it comes to me...I have a pair of american eagle jeans size 2 and they fall off of me...but 1's are too tight!!! ugh...i don't get it :(
today is just not my day...
till next time xoxoxo

Thank you for being a friend...

I have realized recently that i have some of the BEST FRIENDS a girl could ask for :) They honestly do not know how much they truly mean to me, now most Military Wives/Girlfriends/Fiances say that they felt that their "Civilian" friends did not understand what they were/are going through. Well, i have to say that my real life friends have been WAY MORE supportive then some(not all) of the Military Ladies i've come in contact with. Now, i'm sure there are some awesome ladies i have yet to meet & i hope to meet some of them soon but, right now i am content with the friends that i have in my life & have been there for me through everything and just because they may not know EXACTLY what i'm going through they still try their hardest to understand...although i do have a few girls woh are my besties who have also been through the Military Relationship so they do know how i feel & they are awesome to go to and talk to when i'm feeling down about it.
So to these friends that have always been there for me and who have kept me happy & busy through these months so far!! i love you guys to death & don't know where i'd be without such GREAT friends to spend my time with...So, Brittany PIC, Laurie, Tiff, Kat, Kristie, Stephanie, Nikki & Brittany!! You guys have been amazing friends!!! Thank You for being that way & always being there for me!!! you guys ROCK!!!

When you "Assume" it makes an "ASS" out of "U" and "ME"

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people assume...and of course the title says it perfect of what happens when people assume too much.
I recently got asked "Why did i make such a big deal about not marrying for the Military when i did?"...umm...I married for the MILITARY?!? really?!? Thanks for sharing that one with me because, i had no idea that's what i did. For the record I was not making a big deal about marrying for the Military, i posted a status answering peoples questions about how i WAS NOT marrying for the Military & for a long time i did NOT want to do the Military thing and get married at the court house...but, things changed.
Yes, i did end up getting married at the court house. We had planned on a date to get married but, we were also betting he would be home around that time(Note to self: you can't plan anything in the Military, don't even get your hopes up at all, you will only end up disappointed) But, when we found out he'd be deploying and possibly going on underways around the original wedding date and then another possible deployment, this wedding was looking more and more like it was going to be either 2012 or 2013 before we'd be able to have the wedding and by 2013 i would be 25 almost 26...I want to start a family around that time not walking down the aisle.
Another thing that bugs me about that question is it's as if i just woke up one day and him and i looked at each other and said, hell why not? let's get married. Pssh, FALSE! He had proposed to me...We were getting married anyways...regardless of Military or No Military, we were STILL getting married. We were in the process of planning we had gone and looked at a Venue! Pssh, i didn't just get married because of the Military.
I got married because I wanted to be with him, I was ready to start our lives together & it didn't matter to me anymore if i even had a wedding as long as i was married to HIM, that's all i needed right there. Military or No Military...I know he's the one i would have ended up with. I tried again to possibly plan a wedding for the end of 2012 but, by then we'll be married for 2 years and it just didn't seem necessary anymore...I want to really live like a married couple...I hope in 5 or 10 years we can renew our vows for all our family and friends & hope they understand that the decision we made was what was best for us and what we wanted. I didn't need a a fancy wedding to make it perfect...All i needed was HIM and that's how it was, it was me, him, & the commissioner. But, don't assume i got married just because of the Military...the bottom line is we were getting married either way. We just happened to get married because, there was no way for sure we could plan a wedding for when we wanted too.
Questions like that make the wrong assumptions & i know this person was just being spiteful...but, i know a lot of other people were thinking the SAME thing. Please, My Husband is my best friend he's been there for me for YEARS. Who picked me up EVERYTIME my ex-boyfriend's made me cry, hurt me, cheated on me etc..? He did. He has been there and ALWAYS will be there for me...So, regardless what any of you think or assume this was going to happen whether it was October 29th 2010 or Aug 28th, 2011 or October 27th, 2012.

I'm really hoping that these negative posts come to a hault. I'm so over people assuming, spreading rumors, & just being assholes in general. Not that i really have to justify my actions to ANYONE but, it also helps to get things off my chest so i don't hold all these negative things in. I'm very thankful for my true friends & my very loving & awesome family...and of course my even more amazing husband, everyone of them keep me sane & i can't thank them enough! :) Hopefully, people will start concentrating on their own business instead of mine( a girl can only dream!)
Can't wait to have some positive posts coming up...till next time :)
