birthday

Well yesterday I turned 24. I also realized I am one year away from being half way to 50!!!!!! OMG!!! I am not too excited about that, you know getting older now isn't that much fun.

Well I didn't have anything planned really. D was out of town and my dad was in vegas with work. SO my mom, sister and her b/f took brennen and I out for dinner. My mom also joined me in a little retail therapy. Which i found all the thing I was looking for.

My sister and her b/f got me all the harry potter books :) which I wanted since I had planned on rereading them, I am kinda obsessed with it and all.

SWITCHING GEARS::
I also started reading true blood. I love the show and I have been wanting to read them for awhile now. So I borrowed 5 of them(1,2,3,4,6)from my sister in law and I am done with book 4. I am off to the library tomorrow to get 5 since she forgot it at home. Then I will read her #6. I decided to look online to see how many there were and there are 11 so far and she keeps writing them. Now I didn't really like book 4. A lot happened and the witches were a little much and the whole jason is missing got on my nerves. I like book 1 and 2. I like her and bill, a little drama and a lot of bills saving her life. Now I read more of the backs of the others and I looks like she bounces from guy to guy and gets in way too much trouble. A lot of things were changed from books to show and I am not a fan of when people do that.

With this all being said I am not sure if I will be reading all these at the super sonic pace that I have been. After this I wanted to read pretty little lairs. I love the show and my sister has read the books so of course I asked who the killer was, but I won't share so not to ruin it for others. But I will say a lot it very different. By now 3 MAIN people would be dead and "A" would have changed several times. Anyways....

CHANGING GEARS AGAIN::
D is finally home. I have missed him so much and he is going to be gone a lot the next 2 in a half months, I mean a lot. SO every little bit I get is awesome.... Today all we did was cuddle.. I read and he watched tv. It was very relaxing and ran some errands this morning. Im just glad to see him :)

Happy thursday, time for bed with the mister...

rocking out

So I totally felt like having a jam out session tonight... Its nice to put on some music and just dance... So on tonight's list would of course be a little lady gaga, black eye peas, willow smith (i whip my hair), a little rap and of course what's a super jam out session without some ke$ha :) Im in a good mood tonight, maybe its the fact that my husband comes home tomorrow and I have missed him so much.. So back to my dancing oh and singing at the top of my lungs of key...


Happy wednesday :)

friends

so while at the super awesome park the other weekend brennen walked up to this little boy and just started talking to him. The cutest thing about this that the other boy talked back. The little boy was tying his shoes so Im guessing thats what they were talking about since brennen was acting like he was tying his shoes too...
Also the other day he walked up to another little boy and said "me beenen" My heart melted. It was really sweet to see him introduce himself. My sister also taught him to shake your hand and say nice to meet you... So cute... So now that we are all prepared on how to talk, play and meet other children maybe he will become nicer to them, a girl can hope right???

DINOSAUR!!!!


No more dino dan, it's dino brennen :)

park time

This past weekend I took brennen to this super cool park like 25 mins away. He was so excited and kept screaming park park park (in his silly british-ish accent, more on that another time)

He thought he would climb this worm looking thing. Once he got almost to the top of one of the humps he quickly figured out that he was too little for it..
By far the slide has to be his favorite thing to play on at a park. He goes straight to them and you can rarely get him off of them. This one was his favorite, it has bumps all the way down it and he found that to be the funniest things ever...

wordless wednesday... *sleepy car rides*

one down many to go...

So I took brennen on his first ever picnic.. He really didn't understand what I was doing at first but as soon as he saw the food he caught on real quick.
He also started walking up to other kids saying "me brennen" and shaking their hands saying "nice to meet you".. He is getting so big. He had a great time and I see us doing it more often since the weather is getting to be so warm.. Now I have one thing knocked off my spring list :)

worries

So the previews for "coming home" are killing me. I am always happy to see them return home and the surprise on their faces but for the ones that never get that my heart goes out to them. Now with a good bye my self in the future I can not watch the show. I know I have already said this before, but I am a glass half empty kinda person. So for me I think I really might not get that. D's mom will have had 2 out of 3 boys deployed in 2 years. One of the boys is 9 so of course he wont be going any time soon, however can one mother be lucky enough to have both boys return unharmed?? D's brother was safe where he was and has a great job that doesn't involve much danger. But D's job is not great(all I can say about it).. So I worry, are we going to lose him? What are the odds? We have never known some one personally that has not returned from war, will it be my husband?? I can't help but think of these feelings.

"War Issues" have been coming up more and more lately. I have tried to just ignore them, didn't work. Got sad about them to get it out of my system, didn't work. Now I am just plan angry about them. If a song about war comes on or the troops I flip out, if the is a war/military movie on I have to leave the room. I just can not take it right now. There was a documentary on the other day with the soldiers and D wanted to watch it I got so mad/started to cry in a second without knowing what happened it upset me so bad. I know these feelings are kinda normal. You know the whole I don't want you to go kinda thing, but I am very worried. I just want to hit fast forward on us and we pick up on the other side of this happy and healthy, but what if that isn't the plan? I don't know if I can handle that. How would I tell our son what happened, how will i function everyday, for him or for myself ?? I know whatever the plan is for me is going to happen no matter what but I guess I feel like if it is a car wreck then we couldn't stop it but signing into the military we could have. I would never want anything else for him. I want nothing more then to be an army wife. Why does this life have to be so uncertian and scary. I get a lot of i'm sorry's and that sucks.. Yeah it does but what can we do, nothing.

I guess where I am going with this small rant is Im scared and I needed to write it out to feel better. We chose this life in the military together and it was a big decision. Now I did not know what I was getting into when he got in but I wouldn't change a thing. I love the being married to a soldier. I hope in the up coming months my attitude will change.

Lately

I haven't posted in a few weeks, but it feels like forever. I don't really have much to say other then I have been spending time with the husband as much as I can, preparing clothing for a HUGE consignment sale my city does twice a year and having some great mommy and brennen time. The weather started getting so warm around here for about 2 or 3 weeks, I even got to wear shorts one day. WOOP WOOP. Well this weekend all those crazy storms came through and now it has been back down in the upper 40's and lower 5o"s, which sucks. I hope this is the only cold snap we have this spring and it does nothing but get warm after this week.

We are also in the process of planning many many trips this summer. My hubby and I, along with others, leave for vegas in less then 2 months, EEEKKKK. I am beyond excited. We have never been and this is going to be a great trip with our best friends who also happen to be our family. Then when we come home from that D leaves like 2 days later to go to "deployment training" not saying where but it is a long way away, and he has to go half the time without a phone, bummer right??? Well to help fill the time while he is gone Brennen and I are going on a great family trip with my parents and sister + her bf. I can't wait, I have pretty much planned this whole trip. July we are going to the lake with D's mom, step dad and grandparents + siblings. I also found this house we will be renting and it is A-MAZING, If you can't tell planning trips, rentals and parties are my thing.

I know this is way down the road but the place for thanksgiving with D's family has been picked and I am so excited we are going back to the beach this year. It is going to be bitter sweet since this will be the last thanksgiving we will have with D before he deploys. Well that is if he even makes it until then without deploying before then. Please cross your fingers for us that it is later rather then sooner, but I just really have a bad feeling all the time.

Anyways no deployment talk right now :) Exciting news my sister in law/ bff will be here with my precious niece really soon and I am super excited to see them and get my hands on brylee, even if it is only for a week. Now it is time to give this smelly little boy a bubble bath since he just did the ultimate blow out, eww and tmi I know, sorry... Happy Monday everyone...
