Catch up.

So life has been busy like no other.  I quit my YMCA job to work as a nanny. Considering Hubby is leaving next month. The army changed the date. So instead of september he's leaving in August.  All in all, the nanny job is more personal, less stressful, and is helping a lot with finances and such.  We'll be going home to Oregon at the end of this month...yaaaaay! Haha.  Then I will be moving back home at least a month or so after he deploys.  That little fact is making my stomach turn.  Why must he go?  His orders read "should not exceed 455 days" so possibly 15 months??  This deployment is ALREADY an inconvience.  I would love to keep my husband if you dont mind.  But ey,  the contract and the chioce is on him/us so who can complain?  Being without him and moving back home right when I get comfy here is starting up my anxiety. Why do I feel this way? Its home after all. Where I lived for 18 years of my life. Where my friends and family are. Where my roots will always be. So why the fear of adjustment?....ahhh thats what it is after all. Fear of re adjusting right after I just got adjusted here then having to move back when he gets back. More moving and readjusting. Ugh I hope I can handle it mentally. Ha.

I'm gonna miss my husband. A lot. Like I'm gonna be aching when he leaves for days.  *sigh*  not looking forward to the emotional stress of it all. Not to mention all the things we STILL have to do here before he leaves. MAKE THE TIME STOP!!!!!!!

Well heres some pictures anyways.  I'll write more, I promise. Hehe

Being dorks. As always <3

And heres My Busterrr

Well, TTFN =P

Pause!!

I wish time would just stop.  Just for a tiny bit.  Let my husband come home, then stop the clock. Ha.

But we all know that is wishful thinking on my part. But he is coming home in a little over a week! I'm excited.  A little disapointed that i wasn't able to get our finances situated and now I gotta stress over trying to come home for his leave time. But hey..."everything will be okay in the end, if its not okay, its not the end."

I try to live by that as much as possible. My job is going pretty good. It adds a little more stress, but whatever.  I enjoy it. I work with kiddos.  Which is always interesting! Lol I've been working there for a little over a month now so I got the hang of things.

Annnnd I died my hair.  Haha, I was so sick of my roots. Gross. Lol so I touched them up and I'm very pleased.

So there it is!!

Welp, I gotta go back to counting down the days that the hubby comes home and not stress. TTFN=)

Oh boy....

He's been gone for almost a month.  I've been trying to keep myself busy and my stress level down.  Not as easy as it looks folks! Who would've guessed that being an adult, married and throwing in the military makes your head spin.  Boy oh boy...

I'm excited for him to come home.  Really, I miss my partner. I cant whine and brainstorm without him! Lol.
Everything has me stressed out lately.  Everything. And its even getting him stressed.  Which I cant have.
I have tons of pictures from April to now.  But I got so much on my mind and so much to do around the house that its not even funny.

TTFN =)

Life marches on!

Its been a while! I started blogging once every night or so and now its maybe once a month!
Well, not a whole lot has been missed.  My birthday was the first saturday of this month and I got a part time job!  Our finances have really been kicking our butts.  So me landing a job happened just in time :)
Hubby turns 20 on Monday and unfortunatly I cant cook that big 'ol dinner. But i WILL be baking an awesome cake. Then he wants to go to see Iron man on Friday. I'm exicted. A night out with my babe<3

He is going on his one month training in California in about 2 weeks. Tell me time doesn't fly!!

Anyway, I will be blogging more tomorrow and some pics to post :)

TTFN!!

Time goes on..

Hubbys deployment and "hard core" training is coming up.   I'm a little nervous, Finally feeling settled and motivated to get my goals done and then i take a look at the calendar and realize, its not far away.  I dont know the feelings that you go through when your coming upon your first deployment, but I'm not feeling much pressure, yet.  Of course, its about 6 months away (give or take a couple weeks)  so I'm sure it'll hit me.  If I havent mentioned it before, I plan on moving with my mother in law.  Mostly because I want to be in Oregon where my roots are and most of my loved ones remain.  We dont have children or a ton of stuff so the  decision to move back home wasn't very hard for the Hubs and I to come upon.  Then again, the mommy in law is facing some changes as well.  Either way, I'm gonna be on the West coast.

I'll get use to living on my absolute own when he's away, but for 12+ months, I think  I can safely say that I'm totally comfortable being with my family and friends.  At least for the first go around Haha. 

In other News...my birthday is 4 days away! Woot! lol.  I'm hoping Hubby is here for his 20th birthday.  He might be training though, who knows.  I was thinking I'd bake him a cake, bring his buddy's over, hang out and eat a big dinner and some yummy cake and ice cream.   Then go to a movie or just send him and his friends to a freaken Arcade or somewhere they can have fun OUT of this house LOL.  My idea might sound cheesy, but spare me....I'm only brain storming!  I know for sure I'm gonna bake him a cake though ;)

Well, I better be gettin' to bed. 

TTFN<3

Buster.

Gah! I've been stressing out a lot.  Never owned a dog in my life so this is deffinitly a learning experience.  They're not like hamsters or birds where you have to just keep thier cage clean and make sure they have water and food.  He went to his first Vet appt when mother and brother in law were down (March 10th to be exact)  he got his first vaccinations for parvo and such, but before that for like a week he was dragging his butt on the ground..I had no idea what that meant until he started pooping worms! And they were round worms, so they were long! Ewww! Lol So he got dewormed as well and hes been doing FANTASTIC since then....up until 2 nights ago. (March 16th)  All morning and afternoon he was his normal playful self, but when 5pm rolled around he just started yelping in pain.  For no reason it seemed.  I was scared, so I got on facebook and my other favorite informational site "babygaga" and I was told to either give him puppy meds or take him into the after hours vet.  The first thing that came to anybody's mind was the risk of him having parvo..wich didn't make any sense.  He was eating ok and he wanted to play, he just looked and sounded like he was in pain.  I was hoping to get him into the vet yesterday, but Buster was doing really good by then.  He wasn't yelping, he was eating perfectly well and was a little more playful then the day before. So, I decided that since he has an appt for the 2nd round of vaccinations on saturday (the 20th) at 11 am that we could just wait.  Today hes back to his normal self, besides acting nervous off and on.  But I'm told that a chihuahua trait so....yea.  I figure the yelping in pain was or is growing pains, or he pulled a muscle.  Whatever it is I will for sure find out in 2 days. For now, he's perfectly fine.

Oh...and his cute floppy ears are no more.  He's a true chihuahua now :(

Now

Then

:( I'm gonna miss them haha

Well, I gotta start studying for my permit/license.  This sitting in the house thing has to stop, I have gained some weight from it! AHHH! Lmao, I memorized the Oregon driving manual...now I gotta study the TEXAS manual.  Smart me haha

TTFN!

Heres a long one!

So much has happend since my last post! 
For starters, March 4th till the 9th my mother and brother in law flew in and stayed with us.  It was really great having them.  Besides my wonderful husband getting stressed out constantly (lol) it was fun.  We saw the movie 'Alice in Wonderland' and went all the way to Galvenston TX.   That was interesting and incredibly fun.   We rented a Ford Focus and drove 5 hours there and 5 hours back haha.  Its a cute island with tons to do! We saw Dolphins! I havent been so excited in my life.  I wasn't able to catch any pictures of the dolhpins because they were so fast but I did get pics of everything else!

He loved the sand

The Gulf of Mexico

Him stressing haha, his mom loved picking on him

More smiling!

And of course on the way home we went through Houston, I also fell inlove with that city. Its pretty amazing, tons of buildings. Heres some photos!

And the best part of the whole two weeks was the marriage retreat!! Besides the fact that hubby got really sick the day before, he decided to tough it out. I kept telling him we could catch the next one but he refused.

We went to San Antonio, which is absoloutly gorgeous!! Deffinitly my favorite city in Texas.  Our hotel was on the Riverwalk, if you havent been to San Antonio, the river runs through the whole city and along the river there are tons of restraunts and bars and the HUGE mall is right at the end.  We took a tour bus and went on the whole river, it was just gorgeous, I am hoping we go back for our anniversary in 3 months.  Heres some pics:

Hubby playing with Buster, relaxing.

View from our room, we were on the 15th floor.

This would've been a good pic lol

See the faces? they were suppose to keep away demons.

Hubby really wanted me to take this pic.  The art is made out of thousand of little tiles.

It was a great trip, We watched a video seminar spoke by Mark Gungor. He was hilarious and right on with everything. I wanted to buy his video but it was over $40. Ha! hes great and all but No thanks!

Anyway, I gotta clean and head to the store.

Until next time. TTFN!
