It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

The last two months have somehow managed to fly by. I work in retail so needless to say I've been busy. I'm actually extremely grateful for the distraction. It's made the time go by so quickly being apart from the love. We're down to 10 days.. Ugh, I'm so anxious to see him! I hate this whole being apart thing... it's not for us. I know, I complain an awful for 10 weeks being the longest we've been apart when some military couples are apart for years. I admire their strength because I don't think I could do it. Or at least I wouldn't...

"Home" Sweet "Home"?

Well, I am officially back in the Midwest... yippee... I guess I should back up and summarize the last few weeks. The move was stressful. I was so worried about getting something wrong with all of the moving forms or that something wouldn't go right and we'd be screwed. On top of that, I was incredibly stressed about our checkout with our landlord from our place. It had to be impeccably clean or we'd be charged. Of course, I put off the cleaning until the last minute, which meant the last few days I had with my husband were spent cleaning...

The Future is Coming...Eventually...

Long time no post, I know. But life hasn't seemed that stimulating enough to share... How sad... But I do have some recent developments. Kind of. Well, if you've read my previous posts, you know we've been in limbo waiting to move to our next home. Finally we've gotten confirmation that it's happening the first of October! Not only that, but I won't have to be away from Ty as long as I originally thought. We were told 3 months, but it's gotten cut down do only 7 weeks.  I'm so relieved. I know that some military families are separated...

New York, I Love You...

Not a real post (even though one is WAY over due). I just had to share this with you. I though this was the cutest thing ever. This is what I always imagined growing old with someone would be like. I hope that in 61 years I'm still bickering with him and as in love as I am toda...

Recent Life Happenings...

Life has taught me that making plans is basically a worthless endeavor. Just when you think you've got your future all figured out, life cackles at your arrogance and completely turns your world on its end or goes the absolute opposite way out of spite. Being in the military has further validated this outlook. Nothing goes as planned. We were supposed to be leaving here by now, but it turns out we have another two months here. I don't really mind as this is probably the most beautiful place to be "stuck". But that's what it feels like...

Point Lobos Adventure...

I would apologize for being such a sporadic blogger, but there's not a lot worth remarking about in my life sometimes. Day to day mundane events probably would bore. Also, I like to have pictures with my posts and I've taken enough pictures of the inside of my house. But I do have a little something to post about today. This last weekend, it finally got about 65 degrees out and it was actually sunny all day. Of course we decided to take full advantage of this rarity and decided to go hiking with a couple of friends of ours. Considering...

Happy Birthday To Me...

Yes, today is my birthday. I'm the big 22. It's hard to believe 21 is over. That's the number you live for your entire life before it. And now, it's passed. No more big deal birthdays. Only a few more years until I'm supposed to start denying my age, right? For being such a big deal, 21 was nowhere near as exciting to ring in as 22 was. I expected so much from my 21st birthday. You know, the whole going out drinking with all of my friends, staying out until all hours of the night. The cliche'. Unfortunately, it didn't go like that. I...
