It's been awhile.

Well, it's been a good while since I have written a blog. I have been keeping busy, and maybe that is why I haven't written in so long. Also, I have been extremely tired, my homework gets the best of me, and when I'm not looking at a computer screen due to hw, I would rather not look at one at all. Well I guess I should try to update as best as possible.

Im in the process of going back to my natural color before baby gets here. I have gone 3 times so far, and this time when I go in on friday, will be my last time going :) It's almost there, I'm just happy to finally be done with my black hair.

A week or so ago, I went to sonic, backed out of the car stall and heard a loud scraping and scratching. Come to find, my front drivers side fender and bumper was all scratched and dented. There was a huge piece of rusted metal hanging off the pole that holds the menu, and It cost me $642.00 with tax to get it fixed. But I got my goldie locks back today, and she is as good as new!

I have decided to take the summer semester off for when baby jonathan comes. It will be easier. And if I am going to take time off, I better do it while the hubby is still away and we are getting extra pay, even though we really do not need the extra pay, it's just safer this way. Some people will look down on me for taking a break, but it is what I and Jonathan feel is best, and it keeps me from worrying about failing or something cause I know I will lose a lot of sleep. So I will resume college in the fall, which will start back up in Oct. It is better this way anyhow because for the last year, I have been doing hw constantly and it has felt like a full time job, and I am so ready for a break anyhow. With this time off I'll be focusing on taking care of my little ones and keeping them happy, healthy babies! There is nothing more important than that when baby jonathan comes. I'll need all the time in the world to dedicate to my kids, and I don't want to have too much on my plate. Just looking out for myself.

I am not sure if I have said this in previous posts or not, but Jonathan and I have decided, if he gets the granted leave, we will be paying for a ticket for him to come home for the birth. He will only get about 3 1/2 days, but that is so much better than nothing, granted he missed jaylea's birth as well. The military sure does mess with your life, but all you can do is accept it and move forward.

April 18th was jonathan and mine's two year wedding anniversary! So happy we made it another year, but we pry won't ever have a problem making it, as we have been together for 5 years this june, and we have been through a lot together :). We have always stuck together, and after 5 years, I am still so in love with him :).

Life is okay right now. However, time is slowing down. I'm 23 weeks today. I have 17 to go, or 16 if jon comes home and they induce me. Whichever way you look at it, I still have a little time left, and I just wish it would pick up a little more. Times have gotten tough, but jaylea and I are okay, and that is the most important. This deployment, for some odd reason, is much harder than the last... and he was in iraq and afghanistan the last deployment. But somehow, this one is harder. Not sure. I've been lost a few times already.

My Spring B session starts on sunday, I just finished my last final for Spring A session last night. So this is the last 8 weeks before I take the summer semester off. I have to say, I'm looking forward to a break, I really am.

But I think I have caughte everyone up enough... at least I am sure that I have. So I'm signing off!

Don't forget where your heart really lies, even if the one who it lies with, is millions of miles, and months away.

Well crap I did it again...

I totally give up with remembering and finding time to write everynight. I feel so guilty.. and it's just a blog. It's not suppose to feel like my hw. But for some reason it does! UGH!

Anywho... yesterday, I ordered the babies bathtub, which is super cool, is has a digital thermometer, and also a clean water system so the baby is never bathed in dirty water! I also ordered my Moby Baby wrap, which is super awesome and I cannot wait to get it! Today we went to the mall with krystin, and I got a pair of camo capris for like 7 bucks, and they even have a stretchy waist band(and they aren't even technically maternity pants, love charlotte rousse)!!! I also got jaylea a shirt that says "Sorry boys, my daddy says I can't date till I'm 30!!!!!" Which is totally adorable... gotta love spencers!!! Then I got the baby a set of 4 receiving blankets, they were on sale at pennys.. originally almost 30 bucks and I got them for 8 :). I got another pair of pajama pants for 4 bucks.. they are SO freaking cute. They were originally 40!!! You can say I bargain shopped today! Then we went grocery shopping and I got a lot of food again... Now, I gotta take it easy, my pantry is over flowing... while we were at walmart I got jaylea 2 new outfits, I got her a pooh bear one that came with 3 pieces and also got her a  little green and white dress. She needs more summer clothes so everytime we are out I try to get her something new so Im not spending a bunch of money at one time. And also I have more to choose from this way!

This morning I talked to jon for quite a while. He got some news on coming home for the birth... it will only consist of 4 days tops(as of right now, who knows it may change) But now he no longer needs a travel buddy, which means him coming home won't depend on someone else. Which is great! So things are looking up! Now we just have to pray that he gets the full word he is allowed. We have PLENTY of money in savings to cover the ticket and will still have a lot left over, so money is definitely not an issue. We just pray he gets the a-ok for sure to come home!!!

Other than that, things are good. And jaylea and I are just taking it day by day... however, December feels so far away. On the 6th we'll be 2 months down and we'll only have 8 months left...(ha, I say only....like thats not long, whatever) it doesn't make things any easier that there are homecoming signs out the ass all over base for all the other batallions coming home... crappy we have to deal with this till mid deployment... it's hard. It really is, if I didn't love Jon as much as I did and I hadn't been with him for so long, I would not have chosen this life for myself or our kids... but sometimes, God makes us do things that are hard. But I have always been told, If God brings you to it, he'll see you through it. And so far, he has definitely had my back this deployment. But honestly 5 years was too long of a time for us to throw away just because he decided to join the Navy. It sucks, but damnit, I love that man, and we have been there for eachother through everything. Since my sophomore year of hs, and that is a long time. Just wish this were a little easier. I will say though, I am damn proud to say I and him sacrafice our family so he can protect the country, and he makes me awfully proud. I know he is doing good over there. Well of course, he is helping build a school so the little ones over there can get a better education. :)! That is always amazing! No offence, but that is almost cooler than the SWA HUTS they built over in Iraq and Afganistan. lol! No.. it is cooler! But I am proud, and I love knowing he was man enough to serve his country. That is more than I can say for some others. I could go on for hours how proud I am, but it's bedtime for me.

Have a good night.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!!!

So I found out yesterday(3/29) that....we will be having a baby BOY!!! So so so exciting! I was so happy, and jon said he screamed when he found out! I had to tell him through MSN messenger on my phone, do to the fact the phones were down all day sunday and monday..but at least I did get to tell him after I found out! It was so exciting! Other than that not much else is going on! I went to walmart last night cause I couldn't resist anymore...I bought 3 outfits, 2 for summer, one for fall, and a little munchkin care cart, which the cart is going back to walmart because the holes were not drilled properly so lucky me couldn't get it assembled! UGH! But that is ok, only because it was not as tall at the picture looked, it was about half the height of the crib, which is not very tall, the picture on the front makes it look almost just as tall as the crib. That's what you get though, looks will always be decieving. I also got 2 sets of 10 infant hangers, but got home and realized that one set (the blue set) only had 9- JUST my luck. But I am not mad about it enough to bring them back and exhange them, they are only 1.00 for 10. So it's not that big of a deal.  I watched the Time Travelers wife tonight with Krystin, we red box-ed it! Very good, but very sad. I thought the life of a military wife was hard....but her life, that would have been harder, to NEVER know when your husband was leaving, and then NEVER knowing when he is coming back, at least we get somewhat of a heads up they are going and a general idea of when they are coming back. Ugh, so sad. It really hit my heart.

I keep forgetting to write. My mind is so...gone, you could say it's been horrible.

I am still keeping the Adams family in my prayers. Jimmy had to come home from haiti due to his lung collapsing. I feel so bad for Tonya and what she must be going through, But she is VERY strong and has a heart of steel that I don't think anything could break her down, she is very strong. But of course, I feel even worse for Jimmy, as Tonya said this is the second lung that collapsed. It is so sad, and I just pray that the Good Lord wraps his arms around this family, and blesses them, and heals Jimmy fast! I also pray the CO of 7 doesn't send him back out anytime soon. The last thing he needs is for his lungs to relapse. My opinion is that he just needs to stay home so he doesn't risk getting hurt anymore. Anyone who reads this, whether you know the family or not, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for them, he is out of surgery on recovering, but sometimes that just isn't good enough, we need him to be healed all the way. We need him to be close to as good as new as possible. Please keep this family in your prayers, they deserve it, but do not deserve all they have gone through.

Please also remember, never take what you have for granted, one day it may all be gone. Tonya almost experienced that, and if I were her, I would have been dead myself  a long time ago, she is so strong and I admire her for all she has gone through! Very strong lady! I want to be like her someday :)!

Other than that, I am going to come to a close with this. I need to get to bed!

...A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart.....

It's been forever...

A lot has been missed and I have not been writing. Jaylea and I were sick for the longest time, and I have been slammed with homework. It has been hectic. But hopefully now, I can catch up and stay up, I feel so bad for missing my blogs...but what can you do? Right? Anywho...time has been flying by this deployment...so far at least, I'm just curious as to when days will start to feel like years... I know eventually it's coming... and in a way, I wish the slow down would come and go so I can get it over with. I really miss jonathan. He isn't in Djibouti anymore, he was moved to Comoros( a little island off Africa) for a few weeks to do some CE work in the school they are building. The only thing he dislikes out there is the heat, but other than that, where he stays, he says it feels like a vacation. He says it's so pretty in Comoros. I am glad he got away from Djibouti for a while. He seems to not be as tense. Other than that, things are good. We went to Tonya's easter party today, that was nice to just talk with the other wives and get some adult conversation in. It was needed. It was also a lot of fun. Jaylea consumed a lot of sugar, but at least she had fun.

I finally got my living room set exchanged, after fighting with the furniture store for weeks, it was finally accomplished, and I love my new set. And it isn't so large that I can't do anything with my living room, I could re-arrange it plenty of ways now. So in a way, I am kind of happy that my old set was messed up, I could only rearrange my living room one way, now I can do plenty of different things.

All the homecoming signs for 74 kill me....and it sucks because we won't get a break from any signs until the middle of our deployment. One's signs will be out right after 74's, and the 133's will follow after that. I can't believe it. Our sings should be going up when all the other ones will be done... and that really does stink. I guess all I can do is try not to look....which is impossible...cause they are everywhere...but I will try.

Other than this, I have a lot of hw to get done, and jay needs a bath before bed, so I am gonna go ahead and close this now!!!

We only part to meet again. And while we are parted, we gain more love, an amount of love no one other than a military family will ever experience, it is true greatness.

Two sick chicks..18 weeks today

I can't believe I keep getting behind on my blogs...I feel horrible that I can't keep up, doesn't help that I am once again sick, and so is jay, so I guess you could say this house is nothing but two sick chicks! I am a very busy person though, pregnancy(which I am 18 weeks today :) ), 2 1/2 year old, full time student, so it's not like I'm just lazy... anywho I hate it when jaylea is sick, because she always milks it really bad, and makes herself handicap... I would like to be handicap for a day and have everyone do everything for me :(..that isn't happening anytime soon! I finally talked to jon today after two days of not hearing from him, I missed his voice and seeing his face so much!. Jaylea should be in bed right now, but she is not, she is laying on my side under the blankets, here on the couch, and I think tonight is a mommy and daughter cuddle night. She will probably be sleeping with me as she cried for a good 15 minutes by her door not even attempting to fall asleep. My poor girl. But other than that, I got jayleas toy box in today, started to put it together and Im pretty sure they sent me two of the wrong sides. So I filled out my return sheet online, and tomorrow the ups guy is taking this one back and I should get her new one by next saturday. That was such a hassle to fight with it for almost an hour, then  I said forget it they must be the wrong pieces. Other than that, it was an ok day, besides my pounding head, runny/stuffy nose, sore throat, and weak body. I am off to lay in bed with jay now and do some hw. Night!

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of uncertainty/fear, or by the handle of faith.

I'm horrible...fast days

Seriously, I guess school just takes over my life now... I always forget to write on here, or fall asleep before I get too. Oh I give up! yesterday was my birthday!!!! It was a very very good day! I got a new purse that I have had my eye on for a very long time, I also went and picked up the babies car seat and crib from walmart, If finally came in site-to-store, so jaylea and I put that together! So happy, I love it! I changed my entire degree today, I was going to a Bachelors in Business administration witha  major in finance, I was going to settle for something I was "ok" with doing, until I started thinking that I was not going to graduate with something I didn't want to do. So I was gonna change schools but I went back and looked at DeVry's catalog and they Do offer Criminal Justice Degree's. So I called and changed my entire degree. Now when I graduate, I will have a Bachelors of Science in Technical Management with a major in Criminal Justice. And I am SO SO SO SO SO excited. And it takes the same amount of time as my finance degree would have. I will be done and have my bachelors in hand by the begining of 2013!!! I can't wait! Tonight I had dinner with a new Friend, Nova, and another friend I hadn't seen for a while, Milissa, we had a GREAT night! I made chicken spaghetti with meatballs. And butter garlic cresents! It was DELICIOUS! And it was so much fun! Can't wait to do it again.! Other than that things are great right now, and this week is FLYING by! 

Can't wait till new moon comes out! I will be at walmart at 11:30 waiting for it, have to get two copies!

Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle, rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be.

Non stop homework=forgetful

Well sorry I haven't written for two days. I have been very tired and very busy! I really think there is too much to even recap on here, and this pregnancy over rides my brain, I pry couldn't even remember everything that has happened! Hmmm... I can't even think, so let me just recap whatever my mind can remember. Welp, pretty much nothing! My mind is fried, I have been doing hw non stop for the last like 3 days and yesterday I was up till 4 in the morning doing hw, and it has just been AWFUL! But on a side note...yesterday I got my Dozen Multi Colored roses from my hubby for my birthday, which is TOMORROW!!! YAY!!! They are absolutely beautiful! That was the best part of yesterday! Other than that, pretty much it has been hw non stop. My step father in law and his son came down today to get jasper and take him back home to ks with them, thank goodness, otto and him are not getting along and I just cannot have that,especially being pregnant. They keep fighting and it has just been horrible! They will be leaving tomorrow morning to head back though. Today before they got in I had to run to the nex and get them some soap as they left theirs at home, and in the process I bought a new vacum because mine did not have settings so I could vacum on something other than carpet, plus it clogs constantly, so I bought a new vacuum and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I will never have to sweep again, the suction is amazing and I just cannot believe how awesome this vacuum is! And I only paid 94.99. The previous vac. I had was almost 180 and not even close to this good, I love it so much. But that really is all that happened today. Other than me talking to jonathan, the vacuum was the only other exciting thing!  So I am going to end this here and go to bed at a decent time while I still can, I refuse to do hw tonight, because I really need to catch up on my z's. Good night!


Where we love is home,

Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

Shopping!

The really only good thing about today was talking to jon at 3 in the morning, and then going on a walk, and then checking the mailbox and seeing I got another VA check, also getting Otto's heartguard in finally!. We got in the car after we got home, and went to the bank, then to Lowe's, at lowe's I finally got an area rug(put it down a little bit  ago... it looks good:)  ) Also got Liz a new sprayer for her hose since Jasper ate the handle to hers today. Also got jaylea a little gardening kneeling pad and some gardening tools, we will be planting some flowers out front and in the back yard soon! Can't wait that will be a blast! Then we went to walmart and I spent almost 300 on groceries..which was ok, because now I won't have to shop for hopefully another month!!! Then we went to Olive Garden had a pretty good dinner, except jay's episode of madness. Then we were off to target. There I got 4 new bath towels, all for 2.50, and then I got jaylea 4 new summer outfits, and and a cinderalla barbie, since she LOVES princess' and then also a little princess figurine set. And I think that is about it. It was a good day after we got out of the house! We were confined for a while cause of the pink eye, but it's looking much better on my little lady!!! I think that is about it.

...Life does not stand still for families and local communities when our brave men and women are deployed, but we can make their time apart more bearable by recognizing their sacrifice and fulfilling our commitments to them....

Foggy, Storm Warnings, Pink Eye, and Tornado Watches

Today I looked outside and saw nothing but fog...that was a horrible sight to start the day off with. Storm warnings have been all over the news today too.
So monday, jaylea's eyes were watering, I didn't think too much of it. Yesterday, her eyes were producing this yellow and green creamy stuff, started to think it was pink eye. Then this morning I wake up to find jaylea's eyes almost sealed shut all the way...then I definitely knew, it was pink eye. Called keesler and they were able to see her at 10. Well we arrived ten minutes late, but they still saw us. We got her eyedrops from the pharmacy and then we went to R&C korean restaurant and I finally got my cabbage kimchi and bul go gi! I was a happy girl! Then on the way home after a few pieces of bul go gi, jaylea passed out. She slept till almost 2:30, then I let her eat some lunch, then gave her eye drops at 3. Then again at 6, and now it's time to give her some more...this will not go over good, it hasn't at all today. Reminds me of when she got surgery on her eye when she was 17 months old, last April. I had to apply creme to it, and she didn't like that either. But other than that is was an ok day, just feel so bad for my baby.
..We were suppose to go to Tonya's for dinner and chocolate chip pizza tomorrow night, but that can't happen now since jay is contagious...that sucks, I was really looking forward to it, and getting to know Tonya more..she seems so sweet, I would love to have a friend like her around. But Jay does need to get better first, and definitely doesn't need to be passing it on to Gus(Tonya's son).
..Didn't talk to Jon today, which sucks when I am so used to talking to him every morning on the phone at 3 am or on msn later in the morning, and then I don't hear from him, it just kinda dampens the mood. But I know he has work to do, so I'm just gonna have to deal with it. I love him and miss him so much.
...I have a feeling this pregnancy is going to be much harder than my pregnancy with jaylea. I have a lot of pressure and pain where baby is. I don't know exactly what is going on, but it hurts bad, and all the time.
...We are in a tornado watch until 2 am. That is great. I lived in KS my entire life, I'm a little burnt out on tornados. They need to just go away and stay away.
..Jaylea looks like she is ready for bed, almost falling asleep. I better close this up and get her eye drops in so she can calm down afterwards and head to bed. Then after she goes to bed I will be no more than an hour behind her. I am tired, and refuse to stay up till 1:30 doing hw. I am so drained.

No matter how many miles separate us, we are still joined by our hearts.

Hectic, and gloomy

Well I didn't post yesterday, I did so much, I was very very tired, and didn't even do any homework. So I had a good reason...

To talk about today...
The day... let's just sum it all up and say very hectic and loud. Jaylea woke up on the wrong side of the bed...that's all there is too it, she was very upset ninety percent of the day. I think she is just missing her daddy a little too much, and the connection is so crappy in Africa, we don't get to see him very much on webcam. I think it makes her mad when we do see him and it cuts out. That is something that can't be helped though. Other than that, it was pretty productive... I got a lot done around the house, I am finally on a set schedule with the dog pooping scooping, I do it everyday as soon as jaylea lays down for a nap, and it's nice because now she can play outside whenever cause there is almost NEVER poop out in the tiny yard! Lol! Jon still hasn't found out from senior about leave for the birth yet. We are hoping sometime soon. In no rush though, tickets are still dropping in price and I still have quite some time till baby comes. Other than that...I got completely done at english manor today, went up and finished the rest this evening. jaylea and I had burger king for dinner, it was quick, easy, and I wasn't going to cook at almost 7:30 at night... it was just easier. Then we went to torells for cream cheese covered brownies, and coffee, and then came home and dealt with her. I put her in bed after her normal time. and she was up running around in her room, then started screaming, so I got her out brought her in my bed and laid with her...then she wouldn't go to bed, and I kept falling asleep, so I decided she should pry just go in her own bed. She finally went to bed around 11:30. Oh..I'm 90 percent sure my little girl has pink eye... if keesler cant see us first thing..then I will be taking her to the ER. I feel so bad for her...

I guess that is it...
Missing my Seabee!
..ps, pry a pretty confusing blog, but I am so tired... and I'll be up for the next few hours doing hw.

A Sunday of cleaning...and tears

The middle of the night was good, I talked to jon for quite some time, and we made eachother laugh so much. I miss him being home to laugh with him...laughing over the phone just isn't the same. I really miss him.
The morning-
Well today started out horrible when Jaylea decided to wake up at 7 am. I hate it when she does that, I am so used to her sleeping in till at least 8 or closer to 9, so it kills me and I feel so drained. The hubby got on to talk around 8:30 or so, so that was very nice. When he went to eat dinner, I made Jaylea and I eggs, and we also had oranges and apples for breakfast. It was all very yummy. Then Jonathan got back online and we discussed baby names, we picked out the name for the baby if it is a little girl, and her name will be Adelynn Renee...pronounced Add-i-lynn and re-nay. lol! I am sure most everyone know's that though. After Jon and I said our goodbyes Jaylea took her 12 oclock nap, and I got onto cleaning the house. I picked up the dog poop...much needed, and swept and sharked the floors, that was needed too. Also got the dishes knocked out. Then when jaylea woke up she played outside for a good 2 1/2 hours, and then I brought her to Torell's and I headed up to English Manor to clean the old house. After  I got that done I came back to torell's had dinner with her and the kids and we caught up on lost time for a good while. Then jay and I came home she went to sleep, and I sat and relaxed.  I really pushed myself today with all the cleaning, and my body is in some pain...
For some reason I feel like I just need or want to cry tonight..so I have already shed a few tears but I am sure during my bath I will shed a few more...or a million more...
That is pretty much it ..I am going to take a hot bubble bath.

Really missing my hubby.

Today marks 1 month down, 9 months to go...

Today started out seemingly good...jaylea and I had loads of oranges for breakfast, tamara came over for coffee, along with liz's boys while she went to the nex. Then they left, and jaylea and I talked to daddy on the computer today. We saw him on webcam, which was very needed, and I also showed him otto. Man did otto cry when he saw his daddy! Talked about a few more baby names with Jonathan today...we both like landon...however, I wouldn't spell it like that...maybe, Landyn, or Landin...Idk, I like to spell names differently, I know, I am weird. After I got done talking to Jon I took a very much needed nap... woke up to take a shower, then jay woke up, so we both took a shower and had a soap(tear free) fight...boy was that fun! Then we went and spent about an hour at liz's house, just chit chatting. We then headed off to Deanna's tastfully simple party! That was so much fun, and the food was delicious! Can't wait to go to another one! Now jaylea is in bed, and I am relaxing, getting ready to do some hw...which is never fun. Waiting on the hubby to call to see what Senior said about Jonathan coming home for the birth. That is something that would be amazing! We are praying! But that is really all that happened today.

I love him and miss him uncontrollably...
Missing him since 2-06-2010
1 month down- 9 to go!!!

Crazy, busy, yet productive day...

So the morning started out pretty crappy when I was NOT woken up to a 3 am phone call... I hate when I go to bed looking forward to the hubby's call and then he doesn't get to call...But at least I did get to sleep through the night, so I GUESS it's ok...
The rest of the morning...to my shock...went fairly smooth. Jaylea was being so sweet, and we even had a pillow fight up in my bedroom with my new pillows that came with my new bedset :)! So that was fun! Then we went and picked up April, and we then went to start our very HECTIC day...
First we went to walmart, I had to get paint to touch up the walls and baseboards in the house we just moved out of, and had to get new paint brushes, since I lost our's in the move back onto base, and then a few other things...then the lady at the checkout gave me hell for something so stupid. Then we went to Sam's, it was an ok in store experience, seeing how jaylea is normally not that good, in store. But today was ok...I spent MUCH more than planned...but at least it wasn't on Junk! Then we leave sams.....can I just stop here...this was when the productive, ok of a day, stopped dead in its tracks. April and I put the stuff in my trunk, I put the cart back, we head out to go home and RELAX, when  all of a sudden...my brakes were making this HORRIFYING noise...so I already start to get teary eyed before I even get out to check...how can this be happening, is all I could think, so I get out calmly, look at the driver's front side of my car, and some JACK A** sometime while in Sam's or Walmart or whatever, threw SODA POP ALL over the front half of my car.....OH MY GOODNESS, I can't even begin to explain the rage, so then I thought, maybe the brakes are making that noise cause of the soda...so we then proceed to pit stop, where I spend 12 freaking dollars on a car wash, and I almost was not going to clean and vacumm the inside, but the guy at the gate offered me a free wash after I told him what happened to my car with the pop, but he said I had to use the vaccumms! Deal, I could use a free wash later. So April and I then decide we are cleaning out my car(which has been needing it since way before jon even left) and she did pretty much everything, which I still cannot thank her for enough. She is amazing. But I was dieing even though I didn't do too much, but I got my coupon for a free BEST wash-the 12 dollar one- and we left and I was finally happy to have a clean, chicken nugget, fry, raisin, fruit snack free floor in my backseat! Isn't that awesome? Oh, and the noise on the breaks stopped :):):)! It was just so annoying, we bought our SUV BRAND SPANKING NEW, first ones to drive and everything, and haven't even owned it for but 6 months yet, and dents are appearing out of NO WHERE and the  people throw sh** on it, what is the deal, my luck truely sucks...Anywho...we get home, had dinner at Tamara's and then April and I came back to the house! Then I was finally able to relax. My back is still hurting at this very moment, and right now, I am craving something very salty, which is really odd, as I only crave sweets at night...I even spent 8 dollars today at sams on this giant platter of ready to eat cinna rolls! But boy, were they good, and I still have TONS left! But I really think I am done ranting and raveing for the night, it's ten o'clock, which means, it is my bed time! Gotta get rest for growing baby in my belly and to have energy for my CRAZY 2 year old!

...Best part is...tomorrow marks one month down- 9 to go! We are making progress, a month has already gone by..to me, that is crazy.

Hope you enjoyed!
Missing him since 02-06-2010
Always thinking about you baby, loving you forever, and always missing you.

The point..

Well this would be the 3rd time one of my blogs was "accidentally deleted" I do not know what is going on with Blogspot, but it is really begining to erk me. Anywho....let's try this all over again. I have already started a deployment blog...somehow, it all was erased the last time I logged in...so as of right now, I have no other choice but to start from scratch...Great...so let's begin!
For the like 3rd-4th time.
Anywho..
The point of this blog is so I can ramble, babble, vent, and just talk to someone(something, lol) when I have no one else. Deployments are hard and sometimes the BEST way to really get it all out is to take it our on the keyboard...This is the point of my blog...now.. I won't be writing everyday, only when I have time after I have already finished my homework, or perhaps, only when I have enough energy left after homework. College keeps me pretty busy, though there are days I would like to just quit, but I can't! Anywho..enough about that, let's get this show rolling... This is the start(for the millionth time) Of the Ritschard Homefront deployment blog...
