Thanks Full Day 7

Ending my posts of thankfulness, I decided to save the best for last.
I'm so incredibly thankful for my sweet husband.

I know I really lucked out with him. He is such an amazing man.
Everyone who meets him instantly loves him. He is such a fun guy.
I just love being with him, and could be with him all day everyday and it would never get old, I guess thats why I married him haha. I love how easy he can turn my day around when I'm havin a downer day.

I'm so thankful for how incredible he treats me, and for everything he does for me. He's been working so hard to get me over there with him. And I know its a lot of work do to especially not having any transportation to get around base to do what he needs to do. I really can not describe how thankful I am that he will do anything for me. And I just want to be able to do everything I can for him in return.

Mostly I am so thankful I have someone as amazing, fun, caring, good-looking, and sweet as him, to spend forever with.
Cause really who wouldn't want to ;) I am really SO Lucky!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Hope you all have a lovely holiday with your loved ones. Especially the service men and women, and their families who are away from their loved ones. I hope everyone has a blessed holiday!

Thanks Full Day 6

Today I'm thankful for technology. I don't wanna look for a picture right now, but I wanted to blog about it.

I was reading in this book I have, Chicken Soup for the Military Wives Soul.

And I was reading all of these storys about women in WWII who wouldn't hear from their husbands for years. Yet they still remained faithful, and took care of EVERTHING.
That is so incredible to me how much faith they must have had.

I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for the technology we have these days. Where my husband can be in Korea, 16 hours away, and I can still talk to him everyday. Or send him a quick message. So amazing!


In other semi-thankful news, I went to the dentist again today..and still have about 2-3 more trips coming. I am super thankful I still have some percocet from when I got my teeth pulled. I was in so much pain, and Karli only did my bottom right side so far. Then tomorrow I have to go back and get my other side done, then my top next week.
Really not excited for the pain. But I am really thankful I live in a country where dental care is so accessible, and I can have nice pretty teeth.

Very Very Thankful.

~What are you thankful for today?

Look what I got!

I went to the Mall yesterday with my bff Michelle and look what I got made!

They're a little hard to see but you can enlarge them.




I love these!

Best Thing Ever

I was out shopping with my BFF today. And look what we saw..

Yes, a dog on a motorcyle, and in goggles

BEST.THING.EVER.

Happy Commercials

I've compiled a few commercials for y'all that just make me happy. I know, I'm weird whatever. Some commercials just make me smile.

ha! Spanish does make things so intriguing!

hilarious!

I only put a couple of these, but you've had to have seen at least one of

the mayhem commercials! Love them!

Hahaha these are so funny! I've never seen these
until Kristen Guyton told me about them! There are some pretty
funny ones of youtube

Wanna know what commercials I LOATH?!

Old Navy commercials, they just need to stop already.

Oh and P.S. yes I am staying up instead of sleeping when I have to get up

at 6:30 in the freakin A.M. YIKES!

What's your favorite?

Thanks Full Day 5

Yes, I realized I got a little sidetracked and forgot about my Thanks Full days.

But Hai here I am for day 5.

Sunsets for real. Beautiful

They make the end of the day so happy.

~What are you thankful for today?~

Sashmas

For those of you that don't know Sashmas, it's a made up(but oh-don't worry-totally-legit-holiday) in my family.

You see, Alex and I got married in December. I had never wanted to get married in December cause I thought it was too close to. A. Christmas. B. My Birthday. And I didn't want my holidays to smoosh and get lost together. I wanted them all to be special.

Like I said we ended up getting married in December..and not only December, but December 14th..the day after my birthday.

So we all kinda made this up as a way to make them all special at the same time.

And that is how Sashmas birthed haha and yes I realized it is a little sacrilegious. And no, don't worry, I'm really not that conceded haha.

For Sashmas this year I want one thing.

I want this

happiness

With this guy

my cute hubs

In this country

apparently this is Taegu. IDK ,never been there

But doesn't that look awesome?!

Please and Thank you in advance!!

oh Please please please!!!

~What do you want for YOUR Christmas?~

My future child? I can only hope.

Oh my geez! I have just discovered the cutest kid ever!

If you haven't seen any of his videos please go here and watch all of them so we can gush about them together please!

Adorable!

Oh ever inevitable bump in the road

Yes, just shortly after I wrote that last post we hit a bump.

The USFK sent out this new memo , so now we'll be waiting till Nov 30th when they send out a new policy. I'm just praying that this is for the better and that CS goes through soon after this.

Which means there is now a 4.7% chance I'll get there before Christmas.

Which means know what I wanna do all day today?

Basically just lay and pout all day

source

But know what I'll be doing instead?

Yep getting my teeth deep cleaned to take care of my inflamed gums. yuck
Except it wont be that old person. But by my cute cousin Karli.

Exciting day right? Ya I thought so too

~What are you up to this fine Tuesday?~

One Year Ago

First off let me just mention this is my 100th post! Only took me a little over two and a half years haha I know pathetic. But yay me!

And on to the post...

I just realized today that me and Alex got engaged just one year ago yesterday(the 14th)

It is so insane how much time flies. I feel like it was just a few months ago. We got married just one month(to the day) after we got engaged. Then he left for BCT just 2 weeks after we got engaged! I can't even tell you how crazy that last month and a half was.

Alex and I dated for over two and a half years before we were married. And I'm not

gonna lie, a part of me misses the dating days. I miss being able to see my best friend every day. I miss having half or full all nighters to have a movie marathon. And just being with him.

Us New Years Day 2009

Since we've been married we've been toghether about 4ish months..mind you have not lived together..well not full time. For 10 weeks he got to live with me on weekends and come home nights but thats about it.

Don't get me wrong, I love being married, and being able to call him my husband, and I especially love us being a family, looking forward to starting our our family. I just really want to finally be able to live together!

In other Korean based news, here it is. We decided to not wait for Command Sponsorship, and just send me over there. We will still be able to get our stuff shipped, except for the car, with that we'll have to wait till CS goes through then get it shipped. The only downside besides that which really isn't that bad is buying my ticket and that will be only about 500-700.

Alex has started talking to realtors this week, looking for a place. And the hopeful plan is to get me there before Christmas! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am! I'm just hoping everything works as planned and there are no more bumps in the road! Which I cant even begin to tell you how many there have been so far(a LOT)

Wish us luck with it all!

~Does anyone else think this year has gone by crazy fast?!~

Thanks Full Day 4

These guys are just about my favorite thing ever.

And I'm thankful for them cause I spent a good 5 months, while Alex was in AIT, basically alone.

In a new state. New side of the country. Not really knowing anyone.

But these guys kept me such good company.

And as dumb as it sound I really don't think I could have done it without them.

I love then so much and could not have gotten 2 better doggies!

Thanks Full Day 3

Today I am thankful for all of the brave men and women who have served and those that currently serve our country. They really do sacrifice so much.

I'm also especially thankful for my incredible husband who not proudly serves, but who also does so much for us.

Haha I just kinda like this picture.

Oh and fun fact about my Alex.

If you don't know you are not allowed to smile for your military I.D.

I don't know why I guess you have to look all tough

But Alex is a smiley guy

When Alex got his picture taken for his I.D. they had to take it 3 times

Cause he couldn't not smile and they kept saying you can't smile. Stop smiling.

Finally after the 3rd try they gave up and just let him smile haha

so in his Mil I.D. he has a big smile hahaha I love it!

It definitely shows who he is

Thanks Full Day 2

Today I'm thankful for my parents

I'm thankful they have always been there for me. Anytime I needed them.

They never stopped loving me through my awful teenage year. Yes, Year.

I'm mostly thankful for their pure example of love.

Not only for each other but for us kids.

Especially how much they love Alex too and treat him just like one of their own.

I love the great example they set in their marriage,

they have never fought...like Ever. And are still way in love after 25+ years.

I'm so thankful for my parents.

Thanks Full Day 1

Today as I was sitting in a moment of saddness

(don't worry my life isn't always full of saddness, it was just a moment)

I thought about how it's November, the month to be thankful.

My life isn't perfect right now, and I'm having a bit of a hard time with it.

But I do have SO MUCH to be thankful for.

So everyday this month, I'm going to try to post something that I'm thankful for.

Today I'll start with a simple yet good one

Rainbows

I love rain, so naturally I love rainbows equally if not more.

It's so beautiful and refreshing to see a rainbow after a good rain.

I also love seeing rainbows cause I know that's the sign of God's promise to us that he will never flood the earth again. It's such a simple yet beautiful promise.

Georgia on my mind

I'm sitting here listening to Zac Brown Band just crying.

Why am I doing this? Cause he sings about Georgia.

I miss Georgia. I miss this

It makes me sad I complained about the humidity as much as I did.

Ya some days(most) were awful(just during the summer)

But Georgia is so beautiful.

Not too mention I miss the heck out of southern hospitality.

I think I miss it most though cause that was our first married people home.

First time away from our family.

First time totally on our on.

Even though he didn't live there full time.

We made the best out of it and made a fun first home

I can't wait till I get to Korea when we can be together again!

I miss Alex so much! But missing him makes me realize

I'm so blessed to have such an amazing best friend

and incredible husband to share forever with

Ahh I loves him.

And I love this

I'm hoping a little that we get stationed back at Ft. Gordon a little after Korea.

The hubs is gone

Alex left Monday evening and had a long day of flights ahead of him. His first stop was Seattle. He way there waiting for his next flight for like 8 hours. Then at 4am Tuesday he left for Japan. Then they stopped just to refuel there, then off to Korea!

It sucks so incredibly bad not knowing when I'll see him again. Like literally not the slightest clue when it'll be. Or even when I'll be able to talk to him. Boo.

Anywhays so as of now it'll just be a waiting game..oh the ever famous waiting game. As if I haven't played it enough this year. Oh whell on the plus side I suppose I'm learning patient?

Two days ago I started hcg again. Today was the first day of the actual dieting part. Good times. I'm hoping by the time I do see Alex again I'll be looking good(or better haha)

Wish me Luck!

In the now

This last month have been a roller coaster of ups and downs. I found our about a month ago that there was no more room in Korea. So they put a hold on sending families with solders. From then we have been back and forth about what to do. Me just stay here living at home, saving money, going to school, and Alex just doing a year tour. Or waiting till who know how long join him out there. Then start our at least 2 years there, if that was still even an option. Up until 2 days ago we had decided we were going to do the first one, me staying here. But they we decided I'm going to wait to join him there. I really don't think it'll be more than 3 months for me to get there. But who knows, we'll find out more for sure when Alex gets there in 2 days. But for now that is the plan..for me to go to Korea with him.

Alex got here for leave 15 days ago. He leaves tomorrow to go to Korea. These last 2 weeks have been so good. We've had so much fun and I'm gonna miss him like crazy! I just hope and pray that I can get out there soon!

Last week we made our first big purchase as married people! We bought a Jeep! I have been wanting a Jeep so bad, cause that was my first car and I love them! We've already gone off roading with it at Four Peaks. It was a blast! I Love our new car!!

Road Trip?

Hi. I miss my husband. Anyone wanna road trip to GA with me? I'll pay for the gas, but we have to take your car. I'm pretty sure 6000 miles twice in 7 months is a little rough on my car. You also might want to bring someone else along to drive back with cause I'm fairly certain I'll not want to leave after we get there. So ya any takers just let me know.

I love this

It seriously sums up our relationship.

Oh I miss him

Side note. Wanna know what I did today? I stepped on the inside of my mega hot straightener that had been on for like 45 min. Left a big burn on the bottom of my foot. hurts so bad! Extremely painful to walk on. So in the mean time my foot is wrapped in an ace bandage to avoid crying every time I take a step.

Anyway. Back to my original thought. Anyone like to join me?? It would be much appreciated. Lets help a girl out yes?! :)

Delayed

While my flight here in Augusta in delayed, I figure I might as well blog about my trip.

1. First time flying American Airlines, hopefully last time flying on American Airlines.

Coming here. First checked bag 25$.. Not cool. Hour and a half delayed flight.

Got here. I payed 25$ for them to break the wheel on my suitcase and now have to drag it..awesome

Now today. Find out the flight is running late. Now I'm not able to make my connector in Dallas to Phoenix and have to now wait in Dallas a few extra hours...Even more awesome..

First Impression AA...Not so good

Now on to my trip.

I got in late Thursday night. Kristine Michelle and Jeremy picked me up. We then went to Kristine's house and me her and Michelle played Wii and watched 1408 till like 3 in the morning. Way fun.

Friday

Me and Kristine went to Teresa's for Lunch, then went to the mall and did some shopping and got some great deals!

Then me, her, and Michelle went and picked up Alex on post!

We went straight to the hotel and checked in while Michelle and Kristine went and got us some food. Then we all went to see Eclipse at the dollar theater! I love that movie I've seen it like 4 times now and can't wait till it comes out on DVD! After that we just went back to the hotel for the night.

Saturday.

We kinda just chilled at the hotel all day and watched the history channel all day. It was sad :( There was just 9/11 stuff on all day. It was really good but really sad. We did take a break and go see a movie. But when we got to the theater we didn't check times, and since we walked there we just had to see whatever. So we saw Resident Evil. Meh Whatever.

Sunday.

We got up and ready for our noon checkout. Then me, Alex, Kristine, Michelle, and her husband Eric went to chili's for lunch. After that we went to Kristine's and me and Alex played Wii for like 2 hours! hahaha that was so fun! Then we had to drop Alex off at 4 :( Then me and Kristine went to her friend Amanda's house and watched Jersey Shore, and a little bit of the VMA's then we went to Denny's that night. And got seriously the worst service every!!

Monday.

Me and Kristine woke up pretty late, but we got up and got ready. Then Alex's friend dropped him off and we went and grabbed some grub at 5 guys. Yumm. After that we went to game stop to grab something for Alex. Then we had to drop him back off at the barracks. :( Sad day. But I'll see him soon! If he doesn't get orders soon he's gonna be coming home for the next 4 day in a few weeks. After we dropped him off we went back and chilled for about an hour then went to the airport and now I'm here! haha.

I had such a great weekend!! I loved every minuet of it! Except when I had to leave Alex :( Sadly the only pictures we got were today..the only day I didn't do my hurr grrrrr. Oh well my hubs looks cute haha

Gettin there

Sorry about the last couple depressing posts, I think I just needed about a week and a half to sulk. But I'm getting there, getting out of it, no worries! hahaha.

Little update, I quit my job...yesterday. Totally not worth it! I think that was about 43% of my sadness. So I be done with that shi!

Tomorrow I'm flying in to Georgia to see my hubby!(yes people who know me, I said hubby, don't hate! hahhaha) I miss him so much! I can't wait to see my Alex again! It's gonna be such a fun weekend! I can't wait till this is all over and we can move on with our life!

Next week I will definetly have a fun post so be prepared!
