Blech

I've put off writing for awhile now and thought I'd put my thoughts down finally.

I've been babysitting every night for the past week and a half. Thankfully Sunday night is my last. I miss having my nights with Lauren, Liam, and myself doing nothing. And going to the beach in the morning, I've been too tired lately. And working out and doing Insanity. I've been slacking in that department and have therefore put the 5lbs I lost back on in 1 month. :-/ Oh well. It happens. However, I WILL lose at least 20lbs before the hubbers comes home. It's not that I need to, I just want to be what I was when we married. The skinnier me. Meh, we will be there soon.

I've been debating on deleting my facebook for the past few days as well. I'm tired of all the drama it makes available. The want to look at something and then tell someone else because it was on facebook. Nobody says they found something out from so in so anymore. They say that they found it out on facebook. I don't need that. Everyone I know and love and truly care about have my phone number and can reach me there. I miss when that's how people found out how you were doing. They actually talked to you over the phone or in person. Not over the internet where it becomes so impersonal. I miss the people connection. We will see what happens though. I may just keep it because it's interesting to see what others are doing even if I don't talk to them anymore.

On another note, the house is slowly getting fixed from all of the problems I've been having. The dishwasher finally got fixed last week and the wall got repainted since it wasn't mildewing where the water leaked through the wall. And, the wall the dogs ate has finally been filled and re-textured. Now I can re-paint the wall green to make it look like it never happened. :) Yay!! Then, after that... That's it! All of the filters have been replaced and are up to date, the stove trays under the coils are new, and the lights have been replaced in the ones that have gone out. Ugh, I'm just ready for him to get home already! My house feels so empty without him here. But soon!!

And, then.... WE'RE GOING TO TENNESSEE!!!!!! I love leave.. :) And that I FINALLY get to see my bestest friend!! And as a side note, Jon gets to see his bestest friend.. Haha jk. We're both super excited to finally see our other halves :) And see how they are doing since we'll hopefully be following in their footsteps in a year!! :) Well, a little less than a year but we'll see! But for now, I'll leave you with a pic of me and the bestest and one hell of a view behind us :)

Sad Goodbyes and Good Tidings

Today I said goodbye to a new friend. A Mrs. Greene. Her hubs is in a different battalion that's about to deploy from out here and she came to spend her hubs' pre-deployment out here with him. It was awesome getting to know her and getting to spend all that time with them. It made my last 3 weeks pass by so much more quickly than they would have. But, he's leaving soon and she left to go home today and it was a sad day for her. I know she cried quite a little bit and then cried a lot more. I feel so bad, I don't have any real words of encouragement. Just that it'll go by faster than she thinks and to keep as busy as possible. I haven't had much in encouragement just my wonderful friends to lean on and keep me busy so that I'm not always thinking about him being gone. But, I know she's strong and that she can do it.

My little sister is now getting married in September of this year. Quite a little jump in the last 2 weeks from everything that's going on. But I wish them the best and I hope things only get better as life progresses for them :) I've also gotten the hubs homecoming window information!! And let me just say that I'm so stinking excited I can't wait for him to be home and for me to wrap my arms around him! And I'm so ready to go to Tennessee and see Mr and Mrs B :) I misses them so much!!
