It's been a while....

Hello All, Geez it has been a while since I have been able to blog, but as usual life happens and I just have not had the time to blog in the past week or so. Anyway it has been an interesting past week and a half, Zack and I have had many days together and I got to deal with the glory of his great attitude problem, but he got his talking to and now he has been better, thank goodness. I also got my taxes done which always makes me happy when there is a return involved which is due to us this week which is even better, we will be paying off our cruise and finalizing those plans which will be great. Then I hung out with friends and family and chilled out at home. Now that Chuck is in AIT he is allowed to have his phone more and he is able to call more as well which makes me a happy girl. We have been able to talk almost everyday since he has been in AIT which has mades things alot easier on a daily basis but it has seemed like the time goes by much slower, you see before he would always call on Sundays so it would make my week go by so fast since I would look forward to Sundays all the time and now I just look forward to getting off work... however this last week I was looking forward to today.. today because my sisetr in law Tasha and my brother in law Jon, got to find out how many babies that Tasha is carrying as well as hear the heart beat for the first time... I had my phone by me the whole time I was at lunch so I could be sure to get the text, which I did get and OMG I am so excited for them and we are so excited to be able to become an Aunt and Uncle for a Julian baby. We are so happy for them, and we are hoping and praying for a happy and healthy pregancy for her.... We know Jon will take care of her so we dont have to worry about that. This is exciting news because they have been trying so hard for sometime and finally they have concieved and it is very exciting.
Anyway Chuck will be home in about 34 days, which is so exciting, right in time for my DIRTY THIRTY birthday weekend.. OMG I cannot believe that I am going to be THIRTY.... I am not scared but I am excited to leave my twenties and start a new decade in my life. I am ready for a change and lots of things happening this year and I just hope for this to be the best year yet. I am looking foraward to everything we have planned and anything that just comes up. I am especially looking forward to the week that Chuck gets to come home so we can be back to normal. :)
Well that is about all I have for now, which is all great stuff, but until next time, Cheers!!!

Valentine's Day!!!

I surely hope that everyone who has a Valentine is doing something sweet for that person. My Valentine is away in A.I.T. still in Missouri, I am going to be able to see him in April. We did have dinner together last week while I was there visiting but its not the same. Anyway I hope everyone has a great Valentine's day, I will be spending my evening tonight with Zackery and we will be having dinner and watching a movie I think.
Valetine's day can sometimes be a hassel for people but can also be the best day of the year for many couples.

Here are some fun facts about Valentine's day...........

~ Women purchase 85% of all Valentine's
~ About 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged in the US each year
~ Worldwide, over 50 million roses are given on Valentine's day each year
~ On average a man will spend about $130.00 on Valentine's cards, candy, and flowers

I hope you enjoy these fun facts!!!! Have a great day!!!

Graduation Day

Ahhh basic training is finally over for Chuck, and I traveled to Missouri to see him graduate. It has been a great trip so far, today we were able to hang out all day on and off post, and I got to meet many of Chuck's battle buddies, its nice to meet them since I hear so much about them and apparently they hear about me as well. I am back at the hotel and it was sad to say goodbye of course but I can only pray that we might be able to see each other tomorrow too. I am excited for Chuck to have finished his basic training and even more proud of him than ever, but I won't lie I am so ready for him to come home but that is still another 7 weeks away. :-(  anyway I must try to find something to read or do before I cry... Until next time, Cheers!!!!!

February is here, and so is Chucks graduation!

WOW, It has been a long time since I have written a blog. I am sorry if you have missed me, but I have been busy as a bee trying to get all prepared for Chucks upcoming graduation on February 9th, and I have all my travel arrangements in place, and I cannot wait to get on with my vacation from work, and of course seeing my hubby is always nice. I cannot wait to see him and spend some time with him. It is an early Valentine's Day gift to be able to travel and see him in a few days. We are both very excited to see each other, and he is very excited to be done with basic training and moving on to his AIT training, and at this point it is supposed to get easier, and there is supposed to be more communication with your loved ones. So Hopefully he will be able to call, email, and talk more and maybe even begin to communicate with his family too. I have been able to speak with him every weekend since he left but he has not been able to communicate with anyone else during this time. But hopefully this part will be a little easier and faster and he will be able to use his phone more often. I am sure he will be happy about that.
So January is already over and February has started, I am glad that this year is going by quickly but it just seems like it was New Years last week. Chuck and I recently were able to get approval for the house we want to buy which happens to be new construction, we are very excited for this. I want to be able to start buying new things for the house, like dishes, silverware, glasses, pots and pans, and other household items like these. I just dont know if I want to go and pick everything out without having Chuck home to help me and let me know what he thinks. I will have to think about it and see what I decide to do. I have decided one thing and that is to keep my entire downstairs neutral colors and simple. We shall see what I can find. But it will be fun and exciting to do this. Moving day for us will be at the end of May but our home will not be ready until the end of August. So we will have to stay with my mom for a few months which is fine with us, since we will be able to save alot of money by doing this, we are so greatful to have that option with her. :) It will be an interesting and fun time for those few months. Plus Cooper and Tank will become best friends again and they will bug each other I am sure. lol
Well I must go for now, but until next time, Cheers!
