Deployment

I'm not even sure I get to call it Deployment. My hubby is currently stationed at a sea-duty command and goes for a weekend or a couple weeks at a time to a number of different places. Every few months he'll go on a 4 month long trip and then go right back to the weekend trips and 2 week long trips for the next 3 years.

Last week my husband came home and told me the dates he is supposed to go on his first "weekender" and "2 weeker." Sometime in August he goes for a weekend and then he goes again for 2 weeks in October. I was also told about his long stint, due in May. I am very nervous about the weekend in August because I HATE the place we live in. Yes, it is military housing but I HATE everything about it. The whole place seems to be falling apart. We've had maintenance in around 50 times in the 2 months we've been here. We've found mold in a couple places which I'm highly allergic to and sends me to the ER at times. I can't utilize my bathroom closet because of it. They have came and "cleaned" it up, but my throat starts to close whenever I move anything around. We are trying to get out of here as soon as possible but that seems easier said than done and probably won't happen before her leaves.

Second reason I HATE this place is because of it's location. We live in a run down area where I don't feel comfortable going to the grocery store alone in pure day light. I want to feel comfortable taking my dogs for a walk and I can't. We are about 20 minutes on a good day away from the base and it's not convenient to drive to the commissary or NEX to save money. The beach and friends are at least 40 minutes away. I need to figure out a plan for that weekender in August.

I have it all worked out for October though. My mom and dad are moving from Wyoming to Alabama to be closer to my brother and my Dad's work. Since my mom won't have a job right away, she's going to come visit me for the time that B is away. And hopefully by the time the 4 month trip comes, we will be out of this house and this area, into a place I can feel at home in.

1 Year

One year ago today I made my boyfriend of 3 years into my husband. Even though we haven't spent much of the first year of marriage together I couldn't be happier to have him as my husband. In the 4 years we have been together it, we have had our ups and downs and this last year has provento the both of us that we can make it through anything and still be madly in love with eachother. Since B is off of his night duty as of Friday, we have spent the last two days with friends at the beach and today we are pitching a bed on the floor in front of the T.V. snuggling with eachother and our puppies. Tomorrow we are spending the day alone we eachother at Busch Gardens. Tuesday we will be cleaning and relaxing until Wednesday when he goes back to work.

I weigh 180 Pounds!

Something women don't like to admit, is how much they weigh. I am not afriad anymore to say that I weigh 180 pounds and I'm 5'8" tall. I am barely crossing the line but I have crossed it, I'm overweight.

The first step is admitting there is a problem. Part of admitting how much a person weighs. I think if more people were to step on the scale and tell other people the numbers, they might be embarrassed enough to do something about it. I'm not saying that it's right but I know I'm embarrassed enough to change.

My brother's girlfriend, AJ is a personal trainer, has come up with a diet plan and a workout routine for me to follow. I don't have an exact weight I'd like to get to but I know I want to look and feel better. I want more energy and to lok good in a bikini again. Plus, maybe a thinner more healthy me will be better for reproducing.

Well here goes nothing. Wish me luck.

Dog Days

Well today B and I went and picked up two adorable black lab mix puppies. They are brother and sister from the same litter and they are 2 months old. My husband fell so in love with both of them that he coldn't split them up. Good thing too because they are attached at the hip and get sad when they are apart. Well not much else to say so I'll post a picture.

When the smoke clears

Things around hear have just kept my husband and I on the edge of our seats and stressed out. We have made time to go to the beach and enjoy a few friends. I've applied for jobs and got a all back on one so far. Crossing my fingers for more just to keep my options open. I'm going for an interview on Wednesday. Husband has been on night watch leaving me here without a vechile all night. I get pretty scared but I'll be alright.

Once this month of night duty for my husband ends and I start a job and get things on a regular schedule we are hoping that ourbaby making efforts with produce a seed. Feels like it will never happen but I'm giving it a second chance since we are in a new place and we are around each other everyday now. Well thats the latest update for now. I'll be blogging more often since we are all hooked up to internet now.
