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!

8.31.2010

Started

Well, I started working again this week, for the same person I had a hard time working for the last time I was here. And after one day there, I know things are gonna be no different. Well, I didn't expect them to be but still, it was my first day, and I was already back doing the same old stupid crap.
Her 5 kids have a 3 or more extra sheets and yesterday she made me take them all down, undo then, measure them by size, to see if they were a full, queen, or twin, then fold them back up, and put them back. Like really what was the point of?! I just don't get it!! All I do there is pointless busy work!! Well and not so pointless busy work of course, like piles of laundry, dishes, cleaning. You name it I do it. Yet my job title is nanny?? That's what I'm confused about? Cause I was hired as a nanny.
But I'm staying and saving every bit I make here for fun money! I assure you though, I will be putting in my 2 weeks notice at the end of this month.
It was so awful though, yesterday I was still feeling like crap with my mouth, and now I'm getting a bad cold, yay! Anyway and all I wanted to do was go home. And today I have to go in at noon. Why? Because the kids don't get out till 3. Yep kinda nervous about what she needs me to do that'll take 3 hours at the house :/
So there's my post de complaint. I promise I won't post again till it's positive. hahaha

Before I'm Out

Tonight I'm totally throwing myself a little pity party. So be prepared before reading this.

I'm really missing Alex, so you can probably guess what this is all about.
I hate that we've been married for 9 months, and have yet to live together, aside from on the weekends. Now not even that, cause he's still in Georgia and I'm here in AZ.
I hate Hate HATE! Reading people's statuses on Facebook that say they miss their husband so much cause he's been at work all day. Like really, really!? I'm sorry that must be so tough!
I just found we won't be seeing each other next week like I thought, cause flights are ridiculously out of this world expensive. Now I have NO idea when I will see him now. Which totally sucks. Like really why can't one thing go right with this all!

My face hurts so bad right now. Wednesday I went into the densist to get checked out and to make an apt to get my wisdom teeth out. I went there and got all checked out, and they say, so you wanna get them out right now? So I'm like sure, and we do it. But before we did that I had 9 cavities! I know so horrible! No cavities all my life and then this! Grrrr I was on such a roll. So I got my 9 cavities done, then right on the the wisdom teeth. Then I had to get 8 stitches, 2 on each of the teeth. So horribly painful. But I'm glad I had it all done at once so I could get it over with. Annddd on the plus, I'm hardly eating anything, so pretty sure I'm loosing weight! haha


So this post isn't all just about complaining I'll leave you with some happy pictures.
And since I took a percocet about 20 min ago I'm fighting keeping my eyes open.
I'm OUT!

Absolutely Perfect

Last week had our Ring Ceremony and Reception finally. Everything was so perfect!! I am so greatful to everyone who put it together and helped out! Especially my bff Michelle, Mom, Mom #2, and aunt Tamralyn! They all did so much to make this happen!

I got into town 4 days before the wedding, and Alex flew in from GA 5 hours before! The Ceremony was so nice, and the Reception was so much fun!! We got to visit with a lot of people, and literally danced the night away. I mean LITERALLY! Hahaha the night ended and I was completely drenched in sweat and my hair was all messy. Oh so fun!!

Since there were so many pictures, and it takes forever to upload them on here I'll just link to the albums I have up on facebook. Enjoy!

Last Days

Our last weekend together in Augusta. What a great day to take a walk on the lake. It was so nice, the dogs had a great time by the water. And we had a great time together.
Good way to end our time here.
I'm not gonna lie, I will miss it. This was where our first place was.
This was the first time we had to get along without our family and friends around.
Where we spent our time with OUR Family, us and our pups.
And where we grew together.









I am so in love with being married to my best friend
I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my life :)

Always a somethin

Wouldn't ya know it, plans are a changin again, always, I think we have a new plan everyday cause of everything going wrong.
Right now we have a plan, not my favorite, but it stickin!
The plan started out good. Last Friday we got Alex's orders, and were all set to leave the 11th.
Then Monday, Alex started outprocessing, and while outprocessing found out that I wasn't on his orders, so he told someone, and then they had to wait till command sponsorship came in. But at this point, they would have been able to get in by next Monday, and Alex was able to leave with me, but most likely on the 13th.
Then today we found out that Alex could have left his orders the way there were and added me on his orders when he got to Korea, but he changed them cause he was told to, and now it is going to take way longer than we thought to get new orders.
Now here's the plan. I am going to be leaving by myself on the 12th. Then I will be drive 10 hours to Memphis, then Stay the night there. Then Friday morning Dustin is gonna be flying into Memphis that morning and helping me drive home! We'll drive the 24 hours back to a MESA!! Then we'll probably get in Saturday evening. Then early Sunday morning he is flying back to Salt Lake. I am so grateful he's taking his 2 days off to help me drive out! It's gonna be fun fun! And no stops! Straight through!

Tomorrow is Alex's graduation! And I am so excited he is done! Now only a couple more weeks, I'd say at the most, until he is really done done! This week has been a lot of fun. He's been coming home durning the day, like alll day. (which he isn't supposed to do) And we've been able to have fun all day.
Today was the best! This morning was raining like more then I have seriously ever seen! We wanted to go get some food, so he was driving, and we ended up deciding on Duncan donuts so we were about to go but Alex didn't wanna go through the drive through cause he didn't wanna get soaked haha so we I told him I'll do it, we switched spots. I got out for like 5 sec to switch and got drenched! Then I went through the drive through and it was the funniest thing! I wish we got a picture but the rain was just coming in like crazy while I was ordering pouring in the car! We were cracking up the whole time as my whole self was getting soaked!! haha then we got home and we're driving through the parking lot and the whole thing was a river!! It was so fun to drive through! Cars were parked that had water up to the top of the tires!! Crazy crazy! It was so fun though! then we cuddled and listened to the sound of pouring rain <3>

7.14.2010

So here I be

Watching Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time in FOREVER
and it alll comes back to me.
Little do some of you know, that I used to be Obsessed with this movie.
I saw it 12 times in theaters.
Back in the good ole days when movies weren't $10.
And I literally knew the whole movie by heart.
Ask Marla and Paula,
I remember one time I was at thier house,
& I told them I could reciet the whole movie.
And they didn't believe me, so I did.
I got about 30-45 min through saying it and then they got sick of me and said they believed me hahaha

And this is what sparked my obsession with Orlando Bloom.
In 6th 7th grade is my whole room was him.
Pillow case, clock. Posters.
My walls had a boarder of pictures of him all around the room, and then some
And not to mention the life size cutout my awesome uncle surprised me with of Legolas!
That was seriously my most favorite thing ever!
It really tied the whole room together.

And the point of this is, I'm watching this now,
after who knows how long. And STILL know every line!
I would say pathetic, but I just have an awesome memory! hahaha



Oh and aside from all this, new leave date booo!
Alex doesn't think we'll be able to out process very soon after graduation
so looks like I'LL be leaving the 16th.
Yep I'll ask in single.
I'm gonna be driving 35 hours by my lonesome!
And am actually really excited! hahaha
Ohhh well what's 10 more days. Mehh

7.13.2010

Over it

Yesterday I took out some the boxes from the storage room on the balcony
And when I opened the sliding glass door to outside,
on my head fell a cockroach!
It was so disgusting! I didn't realize what it was at first,
But I was looking around and there was a cockroach.
I quickly grabbed the raid and killed it.

I am so sick of this place. It is so sick and bug infested.
I'm getting so anxious, I just wanna pack and get gone!
I've already packed up all the appliances in thier boxes,
and a bunch of clothes. Also I've packed up all the decorations in here,
like pictures and signs and whatever. You can tell I'm ready!

I can't wait to go home! For 2 months!
I can't wait till Alex can be home and actually sleep here!
It's been a long 7 months, and I'm just ready for it to be over already.
Alex is back to days now, for the 2 weeks of class he has left.
And it totally sucks. I miss swing
I used to be able to take him home from about 10am-1pm
Then to take him home again from 10pm-1am
Now the only time we really have is 5:30-9pm bed check. Booo
But really I'm just tired of being alone. It's getting old and depressing.
Like forr realls. I'm done





7.11.2010

Oh ya know.

I figure I'd blog since I'm pullin an all-nighter with the hubs.
Yeup haven't done one of these since well, the night he left for Basic
Buutt we used to do them all the time, I'd say at least once a week
We decided to be some cool kids tonight and start watching
the Lord of the Rings trilogy at 8pm
We finished the second one at 230 then took a little break for extra curricular activities,
Now Alex is playing video games for a little bit while I compute
And then we'll start the third.
Then in the morning, aka after the third movie,
I think we're gonna get up and go for a little run
Staying up is fun!

Anywhoo I stared dieting and exercising this week so ya hurd.
And I would say I'm doing fairly well!
I decided I'm not gonna weigh, more go off what my clothes feel like
cause basically I don't like scales.
I have been so good all week though, I haven't had any crap
And have worked out. Everyday but today.
I decided today would be my free day, and I get one a week.
Keeps me on track better.

Oh and did I mention, 26 days till moving day!!



P.S. I love us :)

The Good, The Bad, and The Numbers

  • Strangely I haven't had my ddp in 4 days, and haven't even noticed(not sure if this is in the good or bad category)
  • Alex's whole company got phased down for the weekend cause the days didn't get haircuts, even though he's a swing grrr :( Meaning he cant leave post and can't even get out of uniform
  • I've been eating good(as in ever 4 hours high protein and so sugars sweets of saltys!)
  • I've walked/jogged over 4.5 miles twice this week, and have been to the gym and got in a hardcore workout in between then leaving me oh so incredibly sore :( But I guess it's a good sore :/
  • It might take a little bit longer to get our hard orders than we thought
  • My friend Kristine is moving to Korea at about the same time as me yay!
  • The heat is so intense I take the dogs out at about 11 every morning after I workout and I take them about for a little bit, and they get so wipped from the heat that they get knocked out cold for at least 6 hours a day which gives me plenty relax time with my pups :)
  • Alex graduates in 26 days
  • We'll be out of here in 28 days!
  • We'll be home in 30 days!! :)

7.06.2010

Gettin Started

Today I started my diet/exercise sorta program. I'm starting to eat better, and exercising everyday. Today me and the girls started out and went to Greeneway this morning and went 4.5 miles. I'm also gonna start doing my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred again at night. Right now I'm going to be going to Greeneway every other day, and with Alex to the gym every other day. Yesterday I started eating good, and today went good too.
Let me tell ya, my body is already hurting so bad, like my whole body haha. I realized how out of shape I was today for sure. I can't wait to get back into shape and start feeling better!







P.S. Have I mentioned how SORE I Am?!

Augusta Riverwalk

Alright so you'll have to bear with me, these pictures are out of order,
but oh well, anyways.
Last night for Independence Day Alex and I went to Augusta Riverwalk,
it is such an awesome place!
It's in downtown Augusta and it was so pretty!
We just kinda walked around a little
bit, then found and got some waters,
then found a spot down by the river to chill before the fireworks started.
We ended up leaving before the fireworks because it was insanely busy,
like the most people I have ever seen anywhere besides Disneyland,
and we wanted to beat the traffic.
But we caught most of the fireworks while we were walking to our car,
so it was still nice. It made for a great evening just chillin with Alex by the river,
it was nice and relaxing.
After that we went to Walmart across the way,
and there we got the best view of the fireworks,
so we were kinda glad we ended up leaving early anyway :)







hahaha this just makes me laugh
Just wanted to show how close we were










ew ignore my hideous unmanicured feet, just showin how close haha
Clearly you can tell I'm lovin it







Amazing houses there

Lake with the Pups & looking forward to's


The other day I decided to take the dogs to the lake. It was such a beautiful day, just perfect. There was music playing sorta close by so I just kinda sat down and chilled for a while, it was so nice and peaceful. I wish everyday was that nice, but unfortunately most days are unbearably hot.



The dogs are being so good latley
I love them

Isn't it just so lovely





Now for the looking forward to
Alex has a graduation date, Aug 4th. That means we will be out of here and on our way back to Mesa Aug 6th! My mom and aunt Tamralyn will be flying down here on the 5th. And getting a rental car so they can help us move back. We'll need another car cause we have a few more item and the dogs wound't be able to fit on the drive back.
I'm so glad we have a date cause now I'm starting to plan the whole trip back and getting so much more excited for it!
Alex's report date is for the 2nd week of September(don't really wanna put the date on the internet) So I decided I'll probably stay in Mesa till end of October or Mid November or so, I wanna stay a little longer then I could so we can save some money to buy nice new furniture, and a washer and dryer and all. I wanna get a nice big sectional for our new place.
Also spend more time with my family before I leave. Gonna miss them :( But I am super excited to go to Korea. I've heard soooo much about it and it sounds awesome!
