Slacker!

I'm such a slacker on my blog!! We are here and moved in! I am on my second day of work! We pulled into town and got our house a day early woohoo! We got the truck completely unpacked the first day! We didn't mess around! We ran errands for three days straight! Just getting the stuff we needed! We got a new car, a washer and dryer, and random household stuff! I am in love with my new house! Wish it was all mine!! Still working on getting a fence for the backyard so the puppies can play outside unsupervised lol! This week is flying by! Havent really met very many people, because I'm in training... Learning how to do what I have been doing for 9mon :/ lol but oh well! I only briefly got to meet my new coworkers. Everyone seems nice! Probably the funniest thing do far was going to get my nails done, I baffled all the nail techs with my acrylic color tips lol! They only paint or airbrush the acrylics lol!!!! They all crowded around me!! It was tooooo funny! Did some exploring and took a few wrong turns, but slowly figuring it out! So much traffic here! Found a way to avoid the highway this morning and ended up being like an hour early!! Haha do therefore I have time to update everyone! We don't have Internet yet otherwise i would have pictures up already! Wednesday night! :)

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya!

Hubs ticket is booked!! He flies back tomorrow night!! Today is my last day of being able to pack, so I have a busy day ahead! We are heading out thursday or Friday! We just have to be there next Friday! Now we actually have a home there, it's a sweet brick house. 3bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and we have a screen porch and a yard (not fenced though) aannndddd the best part, I get to buy a washer and dryer!!! Yay!! I got a picture of the house today, hub chose an older all brick house because he didn't want a two story lol! We have always has upstairs apartments and he is sick of moving furniture upstairs!! Only he would think of that, and he said its at the end of the road so there is less traffic! :) this process actually was very quick and efficient! I'm very impressed with the Navy! We're getting the moving truck tomorrow morning and both our families are going to be here to help us load it!! I'm so happy to get out of the crap hole we live in right now :( I pick hub up at 7:45 pm at the big airport about 2 hrs away!! And then he will most likely just want to sleep and then Thursday the families will get together and all spend some time together. We are very ready to be there, jury is still out on whether or not I'm excited for the actual drive lol. My dogs dont know what they are in for! But I loaded up on snacks for the road! Probably going to stay at the inlays tonight so I can have this place completely packed. Good vibes :)

Reality Check!

SO i am currently back home! Recap of this weekend! Got my see my honey! He graduated Friday morning! I went to the base at 6:30 am and the graduation didnt start until 9:20am! Thats a long three hours! The graduations are really long! But the moment when you hear them call Liberty is the best moment ever! When i first saw my Hub i gave him the awkward side hug and he goes, "Whats your problem, why you being so awkward??" lol Not much has changed! First thing we did was go get me out of the damn heels and dress and into some regular clothes. I can only be that polished for a short time. Then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch, he just wanted something yummy! lol Then we made a pit stop at Walmart for some necessities like, Q tips, toothpaste, and a phone charger for me :) We mostly just bummed around and then he only wanted ice cream for dinner lol So Silly! Then we went to the Navy Exchange, "NEX" That place is awesome!!! Its like a discounted Macys!!!! lol I had to give him back at 8 pm. BUT! your allowed to go to the airport! So i left my hotel at 3 am! And i spend from about 4:30 am til 12pm with him! We got him a pair of Oakleys that he can wear in Uniform, They have to be all black. And then we just sat and cracked jokes and such! I cried for like the first hour of my flight even though I see him this week!! So dumb lol. But he has his call phone now so i can text him all i want!! He just arrived in Charleston, he has the day off tomorrow and then Moving Business Monday and Tuesday. For all the confusion i see all over the internet... He is coming back to get me and he is getting money for the move. Only if you are Married and he is a Nuke so his school is longer that all the others ones. Typically wives dont come to school at all. But his is like over 2 yrs! Now its crunch time!! :) Good Vibes

oh the midwest!

Im back in my old neck of the woods!! my daywas crazy hectic! first of all my plane landed in san fran 10 min AFTER my flight to chicago boarded, nice huh? As my dad would say, i did "the san fran dash" that airport is huge! but shockingly i made my flight! and im sure my friends and family from home will just laugh, but all of my oregon people never see storms likei drove in today!! the thunder shook my car! and on a bunch of chicago highways that i know not one thing about!! but now im safe and sound in my hotel room! just waiting for the morning to come!! tomorrow morning means seeing my babe!!! im so ready to see him, even if its only one day for now :) im cutting this one short due to it being really hard to type on my tablet with nails!! Good Vibes! :)

I'm leavin' on a jet plane!

Today is the day!! I am currently in the squeakiest chair in the gate area! But I'm checked in a ready to fly! I have my pink cheetah duffel and my oversized purse :) I have the tightest connection at my first stop! Everyone send me your good vibes and pray I make my flight!! I already googled the map of the airport and looked at my gates and where I have to run to! Lol so hopefully I'm prepared! I get to see hub tomorrow for the day :) then its back home to button things up there :) I'm so excited to see him! I have a bag full of congrats cards and I'm so ready to just hang out with my best friend!! And I'm hoping I am suffering from sleep deprivation enough to actually sleep on my flight (unheard of) Monday night went to sleep at 1:30 am and up at 7, Tuesday night went to a concert out of town with the family after work, which was a blast, and didn't go to sleep until 2ish, and then again up at 7. Then last night I crashed at 11:30 but up at 3AM!!!! I'm going to look like a raccoon! Wife? What wife? Zombie more like it! Well everyone keep sending me good vibes and good karma!!!! Wish me luck flying today!! :)

Holy Toledo Batman (As my MIL would say) Thats one heck of a drive. And i have to "Drop the Drive Line" on my jeep. My father in law can do it... But who the heck is putting it back on??? Because my, ever so smart, hubby told me to "Ask his Dad" Ha! WOW! This next month is a total Whirlwind! My house is pretty much in boxes right now! I just have enough clothes to get by! And im trying to eat all of the food i have left over... I eat out a lot... Im creative, just really impatient, therefore cooking isnt working out so well. Cant wait until im back with Chef Hubby! He makes the best meals! Sure do love him! Its so close to being time! I am so thankful i started packing so early, because im not scrambling at the end now! I just have about 1 load of laundry and the sheets im sleeping on! I just need to clean now! My hubby better do all the unpacking while i sit with a nice bottle of Merlot! Because i packed my @$$ off! If i quit eating out i might lose a few pounds! :) Well TTFN (Ta Ta For Now) Keep sending good vibes my way! Getting easier everyday!

Sunday Funday.

Today was productive! Got up and took roommate back to her car, last night was a cab kinda night for us ;) Then got a pedicure and my nails done! So cute with little anchors!! My hub will prob be embarrassed! Oh well! Then came home and organized everything that wasn't packed. I packed a bunch more clothes and 97% of my shoes! Then I got a to go back packed for my dogs and another bag for their stay with my in-laws this week. I packed up the bathroom stuff like lotions, extra stuff under the sink. Then I made sure all of the wall hangings are down. I'm getting very close! Roommate moves out this weekend :( I'm really going to miss her! We have had such a fun summer! I am going through a feeling of guilt. I feel like I should be sad knowing that I'm leaving all my friends and family, but I can't help but be excited because moving there means I have my honey back in my arms :) I made a to-do list of stuff I need to get done on my two days off before ken lands. Conveniently my car tags are expiring and and my dogs are due for shots! Both this month ugh! Oh well Ill get it done here and then I dont have to worry about it there! I talked on the phone with one of my husbands chiefs the other day; found out their is no waiting list for base housing currently! Woohoo! Ad reassured me that ken will be back the first week an ill make it to my job on time! I am feeling so much less stressed! Could be because my mind is so preoccupied by the thoughts of seeing my husband! I'm daydreaming about him like I'm in middle school!!! I'm so excited!!!!! It's finally coming to an end! Everyone please keep sending good vibes my way! They are working! Wish me a smooth move!! I am creating as much good karma as one busy lady can do! :) I'm nervous for the south, seeing as though I'm already a grouch-o-saurus when I get too hot! And it was barely 100degrees yesterday lol!

Best Friday Ever! Happy Wife

So yesterday was friday, which already typically means a good day! But right as i got to work I got a returned call from my husbands Chief in Charleston. I got a paper with a number to call for information and its actually someone helpful on the other end! He confirmed all of the things i needed to know and told me all about the move! I slept so well last night because i wasnt worried at all! He was so funny and nice, then he gave me another number to call and give another guy a heads up and tell him that we are coming! So then i called him and he was like there is no wait list for base housing right now! You will get right in! THANK GOD! I told him i was concerned because im starting a new job and he was like congratulations and told me how wonderful it is that im working and that ill be a huge support to my Hubby! Then i got my butt back to work and right at 12 noon sharp, my phone rang with a Chicago Area code! My honey was finally calling, second call in 2 months! I was soo excited! We actually got to talk for about 40 min and he was just filling me in on how its going and everything, we talked about how the move was going to go. He is so smart and i am so proud of him! This is the call they get after their final test! Affectionately called the "Im a Sailor" Call.  He is pretty much just hanging out for the remainder of the time! Im so close, i feel like the closer it gets, the harder it is! When he first left it was like, he is going to be gone awhile, so better just sit tight. But when i know its just a few short days away, i can barely focus on what needs to be done!! Now my panic has really worn off and now its pure excitement! I cant wait for our new life and this big adventure! Things are getting better by the minute! If your planning on being married to someone in the service.. Do your own research and be very organized! Make sure if the recruiters use the phrase "Ill get you a number of someone who can find out for you" or "Let me look into that" Go to your commanding officer of the station or jump online! And anytime your given a number to get some information, call it! And when it comes to moving! Hubby gets 1 day to load the truck and 1 day to unload on either end. So have everything packed before, then your sailor can enjoy that one day with his family! :) The Navy is wonderful so far! I am loving every minute of it. My husband is happy and got the exact rate he wanted, base housing is locked down, new job to start right away, weekends off together in a beautiful new city, and a great start to our marriage! Being apart really makes you appreciate the smallest things about the other person. I learned to not sweat the small stuff and to live my life to make my hubby happy, because he lives his for my happiness. He is completely selfless and i need to take some lessons! :)

8 days!!!

After 7 weeks apart, I cannot believe its only 8 days away! Its weird to think i have made it through this and im on the tail end! So Hub is doing his Battlestations Thursday at 8pm-8am and then a phone call! This is the big phone call, he calls this time as an official sailor! He has been keeping me posted on the process and all the tests he has to take! This letter filled me in about getting gassed! Yikes! My poor hub, good thing he is tough :) I have only spoke on the phone with him for 8 min in almost 2 months! This next call is going to be welcomed with open arms! I just need to make sure to keep my phone on me at all times! Im so scared i will be in an appointment at the time he calls! Hopefully it works out. Update on my packing! I am doing some laundry tonight and getting the last few blankets packed. I am still trying to figure out what to do with my dogs massive beds?? Together they are like the size of my queen bed! lol Spoiled brats! I finally got a safe and put all of the important stuff in it! That is something i have been meaning to do! Really glad that this process has begun! It keeps me busy and helps keep my mind off the fact that his butt isnt here to help me lol. Well less than one more week at my branch here and then im out of work for 3 weeks until i start my new job on the 27th! :) Everyone send good prayers and good karma my way to ensure i get to South Carolina on time. Its eating me up! I start a training class that day and so i have no room to budge if this takes too long! Its stressing me out to the point of not being able to eat!! So please send all your good thoughts my way! So much love from my hubby via his letters! But after him being gone this long (not sure if this is only me) i feel like i dont even remember what he looks like or kissing him, its extremely weird. I like know i love him and i know im soooo happy, but i just dont remember having him around! Its weird. Im getting butterflies just like im going on a date with him for the first time! Its so exciting!
