NEW YEARS!!!

Haha so instead of posting goals and things I wanna do I'm just gonna do a flash back of the past new years!!

Starting with Junior year, the year that my older sister curropted my poor soul. Haha after leaving my work Christmas party, I headed to Scottsbluff to meet my sister at her Boyfriends house. And boy did that night become a crazy one. We had to wait for the alcohal to get there so didnt start drinking til about 11:30. So of course we drank ALOT and FAST!! And were all very drunk by Midnight!!! Amber started pucking, and was in the bedroom the rest of the night. At midnight Long December was playing on the radio over and over, because one of our friends says that it should be played EVERY new years, I wonder if he still has that tradition or not? And I got a kiss from a cute guy named Brett. Who we were pretty sure was gay and since has come out hahah fail. From than on all I remember is sitting in a chair watching everyone enjoy their night. When the world started turning and I litterally crawled across the room into the bathroom and that was GAME OVER. I woke up the next morning in the basement on the couch.

Than it was Senior Year. I was a year older and a year wiser. I spent the afternoon and beginning of the night with Ang and Tiff we were cruising and hanging out with Angie's than Boyfriend Nate. Haha we had bought a few Smirnoff drink and were watching movies in his basement. Haha I set my drink down on his bed that day and knocked it over...I never told him, just covered it up with his comforter hahaha... Than around 11:30 Tiff who had had ALOT MORE than Angie or myself starting saying she HAD to see her sister for Midnight. So we drove her into town to another Nates house where her sister was. After standing around there for the half hour in a house full of people i dont really care for, she hugged her sister and we left. I was completly sober as I had only drank 1 drink the entire time so me and Ang tooke what was left of the 2 six packs of Smirnoff and stuck them in the Trunk and drove home with a drunk Tiff in the back. When we got home we snuck in the beer through the basement window and came in the front door Tiffany leading the way. My mom was sleeping on the couch and sat up when we came in. And Tiffs drunk ass almost fell over cuz she scared her. We went downstairs and watched movies and did girly things til we fell asleep.

Freshman year of College. Was quite a different route. I again had grown up another year and my choices had gotten wiser. This year, Angie and her boyfriend at the time, and I went bowling, it was a really good time. Cosmic bowling and not starting the year off with a hangover equals WIN!!!! Haha I met this guy who was bowling in the lane next to me who decided to start flirting...I was going along with it til I found out he was only my brothers age. Needless to say I laughed it off and moved on. My Bf at the time called me at midnight crying...Haha does that say how much of a man he was LOL. He had gone to a party got drunk and tried to pick a fight with someone lol lets just say he got his ass kicked.

New years Eve 2008 ringing in 2009. Dustin and I had just started dating only a week earlier and were super excited to be able to spend new years together. We all went over to Ashley's house where we hung out with Ash, Tanner, Cole, Bryan, Mick, and Trevo. It was over all a really good night. Lots of drinking and lots of games but it was super fun!!! Everyone had a blast. Until Vela showed up ratted on his brother for being at a party, and than Dustin had to drive all the way back to Hemingford to drop off Cole. Just BARELY making it back to Ashleys in time for our new years kiss, but mind you he did and thats all that mattered!!! My first new years kiss from a straight guy!!! And the only guy ill ever get a new years kiss from again. After we hit the new year and continued to drink, I finally proved to Mick that I could out drink him, not sure if that is a good thing but I won. Because he ended up Puking all over his lap haha which sent me running out the apartment disgusted. Dustin and I werent tired and ended up just pulling an all nighter with Ash chatting!! Great new years!!!

Last year, we went across post to a couples house that we had just randomly met, and just chilled, played some wii, and drank a few beers. It was super laid back and casual. Stayed through midnight, got myself a good kiss from my husband and than we headed home to start our new year together!

Now we have finally gotten to New Years Eve 2010!!! And god has this past year been a Rollercoaster. But we are done now. Though I wont be able to get my new years kiss I will be spending it with a couple spouses who are on the same boat!! And the new year marks the half way point of the deployment. So lets get this year started and enjoy all the great memories to come. Who needs resolutions when my only goal is to get my baby home? To a new year!!!

Finishing 2010

I guess it has been a long time since I wrote, It says I have 7 people who read my blog, but I bet only about 2 will even notice I posted something after like 2-3 months of silence. Holiday season has been SUPER hectic at work and thus I dont have much time or energy to get on here and write.

With my boss driving me crazy, our cake display constantly breaking and DESTROYING cakes, and a few other little things that keep coming up. My job has turned into just trying to manage to get through the day. But the best part is the fact that the past few months have FLOWN by.

As the new year starts I am really gonnna try to write more, and see if I can keep up with it. I mean this was supposed to be my way of getting through the deployment, and now we have made it through over half!!! YAY!!!!! Its a measley 68 days til I will again be in my Baby's arms. You cant even begin to imagine just how excited that fact makes me!!!

My husband has to be the most perfect man ALIVE! He just always knows the right things to do and say!! I cant wait to have him back so this house can start feeling more like a home again!! Well not too much more to say, but keep an eye out for the 31 day photo challenge to begin on the 1st. Should be a really great way to get to know me a little better!!

Love ya'll!!!

Its Halloween!!

Okay so that doesnt really mean much lol. I work from 9-5 on Halloween so....not a huge point in getting excited. I may roll by a friends after work to at least recognize that its a holiday, and to wear my costume that I put money into!! But nothing near as fun as last year with Dustin :D Than again nothing is ever as fun without your best friend I guess we all know that!!

Really I am in shock that it is indeed the first holiday of the holiday season. 4 months thats a pretty huge accomplishment, we are 1/3 of the way through this thing, now I know we can finish it. And I am over half way to R&R when i get to see my baby again :D

Last week I enjoyed a very fun week of playing tourist with my sister it was a totally fun time. We argued but we are sisters!! And I managed to do something brave yes i did. I went parasailing :D So fun very relaxing week!! Now for the next 3 weeks I work 9-5 Mon-Fri....gonna be a very fast November. Gonna join the Webb Family for a Turkey Dinner :D awww closest I can get to home I guess.

Alone on your Anniversary

Wow. The saying runs true. Time Flys when your having fun. I can hardly believe that just a year ago today me and the greatest man alive awkwardly walked through the dark and really kinda creepy parking garage of the Honolulu Courthouse. Surrounded by friends and laughing our way to the Judge's courtroom. We nervously signed the papers knowing that this was it we were going to be an official couple. As he took my hands looked down into my eyes and said I do. My eyes began to water, I never expected the moment to be so perfect and couldn't have imagined such a great man to be standing across from me. Now it was my turn, my voice cracked and tears swell up in my eyes. "I DO." That was it. We finally made it, we are married.....HE IS MY HUSBAND!!!!! Far from traditional and Defiantly not the dream wedding I had envisioned since I was very young but I learned that day that none of that is what matters. What matters is the who, and the what. Who: Dustin. What: Married me. The setting only leaves visual memories but the concept never changes.

We made it through the first year. We had our ups and downs, and a couple quite frankly silly little bumps along the way. But really its been smooth sailing. I think when you marry your best friend that's to be expected. People make look at us and say we are adorable. And ask how we make it so easy but they really need to know, that it is NOT easy. Being married is a challenge almost everyday. Specifically being married military.

We spend alot of our time apart and really truly learn to appreciate each other more and more each day. On days that we don't get to talk I go to bed worrying and praying about his safety. Just to find out a night later that...."i was playing Dungeons and Dragons with the boys". Even tho this is normally the case being an Army wife will always lead to unnecessary stress.

Today marks our first Anniversary. And like everything this coming year, I'll be spending it alone. This saddens me but I know its part of the job description. Sad as I may be here I know its probably hurting him worse there. For his mind has more than once skid past the words: "my fault she is alone today". And never would I blame him. I woke up this morning and was delivered some of the MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS EVER!!! He even managed to get an arrangement that had both daisies, and Iris. It really made my day that he would rememeber my favorite flowers! Now tonight I get to sit down at a table, with real flowers, candles, and a picture of my handsome husband. It may not seem like much to some people. But to me that date is as close as I can get to the real thing :D

So even thousands of miles away today. We celebrate together in harmony as a great couple. And hopefully when he looks at the moon tonight he will think about the fact that the moon will be the same here tonight also!

The Power or Words

Words:A sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes.

What a complex definition for something we uses Millions of times a day. When broken down like that it seems like words are just a science, something that means very little yet ALOT at the same time. But really its sooooo much more complex than that.

For instance one word can have more than one meaning. Or said in a different tone a word that is generally an endearing and nice word, can come off sarcastic and rude. Also when words are put in a sentance, the arrangement of them can mean different things.

So it should come at no surprise that something so SIMPLE, can mean so much to a person. I have learned that the power of words can make or break someones day. For instance when my husband is down and depressed all it takes is a simple letter from me telling him just how much he means to me to cheer him up. Or a few words of encouragement can get him over a challenging hump in his job.

So what I hope is that everyone does what they can to help make peoples' days better when they can see that someone is having a hard time. You never know just how powerful your words could be to that person. It may be the exact thing they needed to keep them from having a breakdown!! Just keep Karma in mind, if you are an open and helping soul good things will come back to you!!!

UNDER 300 days left!! WOOT WOOT!!! 2.5 months down Thank goodness!!

When I need it most.

My very good friend brought me to church with her 2 weeks ago. I hadn't been in years and really didn't think I was gonna find a church that I fit in to. I dont have the old conserviate views that alot of churches follow. But not 20 mins into service I turned to her and said "I LOVE THIS CHURCH"! New Hope Leeward is a church that is focused on the younger generation. It is full of young families and I fit i just perfect!! So today I returned again this time alone and was surprised by just how welcome I felt even sitting by myself. I truely do look forward to service now every sunday!! And Absolutely can not wait until Dustin is back home to go with me!!

Sadly after a great morning at church I came home to find our rabbit Husker had passed away. In the past few weeks I had watched as e started to loose weight and lose interest in his food, which he used to scarf down. So sadly a member of our family has passed into heaven. It saddens me greatly but its better than him suffering from whatever was ailing him :(.

Today is the marking of 9 weeks past. Although technically 8 weeks is 2 months, today is the day according to month numbers that marks 2 months. Idk if that makes since but either way 2 months down and only 10 more to go. I'm very grateful that my friends have helped keep me busy so that time is passing quickly!!

Thanks for reading and thank you all for the wonderful comments I receive they always mean alot to me.

Sorry its been so long

I hardly remembered that I had started this Blog. Im sorry for those of you who were following me. I have been pretty busy and just getting into the Battle rattle of deployment. Schedule helps make the days pass and when that fails well I just take a nap and there goes a good chuck of the day!!

Been trying to get in good shape and working out also keeps my mind off things. Besides who doesnt want a good adrinaline rush from getting your blood pumping, nothing better than feel goods going through your veins!! I entitailly had started all this working out as part of a weight loss challenge but now its more of a stress relief cuz I love my body and im tired of being insecure and always trying to change myself.

So we are already over a month into this deployment and its great knowing that time really is actually passing not standing still like you think it will. Im learning to love the Army and the epic adventures that are brought to us by the different places we are given a chance to live!! And im glad that I have started to get this attitude because from my last discussion with my Hubs we have a long journey ahead of us!!! And I'm so excited to be on this adventure with him.

Well hope this post comes with some sort of relief to at least know im still alive!! Ill try to write more again soon!!
