awful beautiful life

Well, it's been a week since i've written.. so let's see...hmm... My Nephew's birthday was a blast & a very busy day! He had a lot of fun, but was pooped by the end of it! :) Adam and I came back home which was a VERY quiet ride home as his beloved Broncos lost on Saturday :( He's still mourning about it. Poor Thing... now he knows how i feel as a die hard Redskins fan ;) this week at work went bt incredibly sloooow... It's been interesting, which is WAY too long to get into, so if i ever feel like talking about how that is going that will be another blog for another day. Today is my oldest brothers birthday and tomorrow i am going home 1 to get Paisley her rabies shot at the clinic(it's cheap!) & her dog license there(because i don't see the point in changing her for Norfolk when we plan to move back to Mechanicsville after the Navy) 2 to have lunch with my cousin & friend! & 3 to go to dinner for my brothers birthday at Hooters :) Adam is extremely jealous that i will be attending his two favorite restaraunts tomorrow without him(poor thing has duty!) but i promised to take him to Buffalo Wild Wings on Monday night for supper(he's so spoiled) Since i am a working girl & can now :) I love having my own money! Now that we had been predicted to have snow & some parts of VA did, but we unfortunately did not... i am ready to move on from Winter & bring on summer! I'm ready for the beach & camping & just enjoying a summer with my husband(for once!) I'm trying to think if anything else happened this week... OH we went and saw Zero Dark Thirty...pretty good movie! anyone that hasn't seen it, i reccommend it! Welp, i'm going to read this book & just relax knowing i don't have to work tomorrow! whoo hoo! & snuggle up to my husband(after he's done playing COD of course ;) lol)

wonderfulness

This time 7 years ago... i was about 24 hours away from becoming one of the greatest things that i've ever been called, Aunt :) My oldest Nephew turns 7 YEARS OLD TOMORROW! I cannot believe it... where did the time go? So much has happened in those 7 years... feels like it's been a lifetime. I wish he would stop growing... I wish both of my Nephew's would stop growing... soon enough my oldest one will not want me hugging & kissing on him & telling him he's my best friend & i love him soooo much. Why can't they be babies forever? :( I cannot express enough how much of a joy it has been to be an aunt to the two most amazing little boys. I love them as if they were my own... I'd do anything & everything for them... they are my world :) It's just such a wonderful thing. Wow... ive been an Aunt for 7 years :) Gosh... Stop growing now! lol Well, I've finished my first full week of nannying! it got so much better after the first VERY long day... i thought i was going to mess up, but suprisingly it's going really well & i'm already head over heels for the little one... he's such a joy to spend my days with, BUT i am SO thankful it's the weekend... tomorrow hubs & i are going back home for the day to spend the day with the birthday boy! lot's of fun things planned tomorrow i'm SUPER excited... I also hope that this guy doesn't get this dog, so that we can have her. My Sister in Law(Hub's sister) has a friend that's getting rid of their Lab/Border Collie mix & i was a tad late at seeing the post :-\ but i really hope the other guy backs out & we can get her. I think she would be a GREAT addition to our family... even tough we'd change her name LOL ;) Paisley needs a friend badly! So we'll see... otherwise eventually Adam and I will be investing in a new furbaby for our family(eventually we'll have a real baby lol) Well, not much else has been going on... i'm exhausted & laying in bed watching One Tree Hill and eventually will drift in to dreamland... goodnight everyone & have a great weekend!

annnd im back...

Wow, it's been a long time since i've written last... a lot has happened since then :) Well... the last time i wrote Adam was about to come home from his FIRST deployment... yeah, we've gone through & survived two deployments now & well we hope that's the last one! Adam has been home from his second deployment for two months now. Things have been really well...He bought me a new car while he was gone! a 2013 Ford Fusion... after all the hassle we've gone through for months to get the dang car, we FINALLY have it! Yeahhhh..that's too long of a story to type out right now. lol I recently got another Nanny Job & im 3 days in... So far, i like it... it's a long day, but at least i have the company of a cute toddler to get me through the day. Adam is still on leave right now, so it has SUCKED getting up & going to work and leaving him in bed... but i guess now i know how he's felt all these months! lol We also got a dog when Adam came home from his first deployment... She's a black lab named Paisley :) she has been the BEST first baby ever... We couldn't have picked a better dog. she's amazing! We still don't have any kids of our own yet, but hopefully 2013 is the year! Adam reenlisted on Deployment, so his out date is now in 2014..now we're hoping he gets a job before then, but if not, he will be reenlisting again for Shore duty... and he wants to do his Shore duty in Colorado... I'm not TOO happy about that, but i'll embrace the change if it happens! Welp, the baby is waking up from his nap(probably from my loud ass typing! lol) so i've got to go! till next time friends!

counting down the days...

Actually, i can finally say in a few more days i will have my Husband back home with me :) The Navy has finally released his homecoming date! I am so excited, but i still have so much to do before he gets home!!! I've had a busy few days going back and forth to Norfolk to try and get things together for us to move there when he returns and what not!! So much to be excited for when he comes back. I've been putting together a homecoming present for him and i'm still not finished and i need to make a poster too and have to finalize plans with my "photographer" and her "assistant" lol which are actually two of my really good girlfriends one is an actual photogrpaher though but she didnt want to drive down here alone so we invited our other friend to come along!! It's going to be a good day!! I just kind of hope we find a place to live soon(and it would be awesome if it was before he came back, but i doubt it) lol, so then i can cancel the hotel we bought! we'll see...fingers are crossed for good news next week :) It's been storming everyday this week...i'm a bit tired of it now. lol My dog gets so stressed out and scared she has panic attacks! poor thing :( Well, I hope everyone had a good 4th of July weekend...i had a great time camping with my family & shooting off some fireworks with my cousins!! it was a good day! this weekend i will be busy preparing for homecoming & trying to visit as many friends as possible! for some reason everyone has decided to have parties tomorrow!(good grief) Hopefully the NEXT time i blog i can post a picture of my Husband home!!! :) :) Have a good weekend and a good week y'all! i'll be too busy too blog! till next time...

Happy July!

Happy July!!!(and yes i know it's not the 4th yet!) I have multiple reasons for being excited for July one being it's one step closer to the Husband being home!!! :) I will be out of town all weekend, i will be RIVER BOUND tomorrow morning, so i will not be on to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July on here, so i hope everyone has an awesome day & remember the TRUE meaning of the 4th of July...Remember to Thank your TROOPS, present and past, because without them we would not be the land of the free. :) Those of you getting to spend that day with your loved one be so thankful and don't take one single second for granted!! I'll be back to update you guys later...have a good weeend.

i'm no beauty queen, i'm just beautiful me

So at the beginning of this deployment i had made a deployment chain of all the days he was gone, and took off a link every night, and it pretty much wrapped around my WHOLE room, but im happy to say now that my walls are looking pretty bare ;) I even have a GREAT idea for all the links i took off, because i saved all of them. I’m making him a Welcome Home box and putting a bunch of stuff about Disney World in there since that’s where we are going for our Honeymoon, finally! Sooooo i’m decorating the whole box inside and outside with the links and writing something i LOVE about him and our relationship on each one :) I am so excited for him to do it…i’ve been working on it ALLL week, because i feel like it’s going to take me forever to finish…i’m not even half way finished yet and the box is pretty much covered!!! looks like i’ll be doing some over-lapping! :) I am just so excited about him finally coming home!!!! AHHH! i can barely contain myself! haha

Well, it’s finally Friday…another week almost done! Today i took the little girl i watch to Kings Dominion we had a good day, but next time we’re wearing our bathingsuits so when we get too hot we’re going to the water park!! Tomorrow is my Brother and My Sister in Law’s Wedding Party for all of the ones who couldn’t come to theirt OBX Wedding…Should be a good time! :) Sunday i will most likely go hang out with my Nephew’s since my mom will be babysitting them, because it’s my other brother and sister in law’s wedding anniversary…i think it’s 7 years? but Congratulations to them!!! :) Ohhh and today the rest of my homecoming outfit arrived!!! i am so excited :) :) and i absolutely can’t wait to wear it, because i know Adam will love it!!

Last week i booked the hotel we will be staying in for his first night back(since we don’t have a place to live yet and we want some alone time!) and our hotel is right on the beach and it has a Jacuzzi in our bedroom :) i have it for the whole weekend, but unfortunately i will be the only one staying in it the next night because Adam has duty the very next day he gets back…then the morning after we are checking out and we are coming up to visit his mom and sister and then to my parents house to visit so if anyone wants to come over to see him just get in touch with me and i will fill you in on the date :)

Next weekend i’ll be camping and i’m super excited about that :) I’m a busy bee till the man comes back home :) I am just SO ready to get to Disney World with him and just have a blast and be little kids again, since he has NEVER been before…i am so excited to get to share this experience with him :) :) Lot’s of stuff coming up and going on so i’m sure i’ll have tons of pictures and updates to post soon!

till next time…

Health Nazi

You know, what happened to good old fashioned exercising & eating healthy to lose weight? Now we have people doing 500 calories a day, supplements, & hormone injections....really? 500 Calories is just ridiculous all together and will not give you the nutrients you need. I have a friend whose doing this diet, and i personally just don't understand it. I know people much heavier than him/her who have done it the old fashioned way...they'd started eating healthy & started walking, running, and bicycleing everyday...yes it took longer for the weight to come off, but atleast it was in my honest opinion the healthier way to losing a signifcant amount of weight. No offense to anyone, but you can't go to the gym run 4 miles and then hit up McDonalds or Sweet Frog on your way home...your 4 miles at the Gym was just pretty much a waste of time, but, it's just funny because those are the types of people you see doing these kinds of diets, because they can't get their weight off...wellllll, no kidding. Did you really expect too? I just hope eventually people learn that all it takes to lose weight in a healthy way is proper eating and exercise.
