Day 11

Day 11s topic is: Something people seem to compliment me on the most...
Well I get compliments on my hair and my eyes. lol. My eyes are a (I don't mean to be bias) pretty blue/green color. They change with what I'm wearing. Certain colors bring out the blue more, and others bring out the green more. I also have pretty long eyelashes, and so they get lots and lots of compliments. I have been in a conversation with a few people that have had to stop talking and compliment my eyes before they are able to continue lol. Now my hair is getting long again and people seem to notice my hair a ton more then when I have it short. People love the color of my hair. Its a Golden blonde. It also does some weird stuff haha. In the Summer it is more blonde and in the fall/winter it is a little bit more of a darker blonde, but it is always a color that attracts people. Most people even love it when I have it long. Mister is kinda eh about it. He thinks I look more like a "kid" with long hair and with short hair I look more "adult." The only thing about that that I don't like is that when it is long I look alot more like my "sperm" donor (biological father) and with my shorter hair I look like my Beautiful Mommy.

Today I didn't do much. I relaxed in bed for a little bit just was a little lazy today. Then I cleaned my kitchen and my bathroom (I kicked Mister out of my bathroom and back into his lol) and then Brittany and Elias came over. We watched Grey's Anatomy and we just hung out. Tomorrow she is gonna come over and we are gonna make Jamie and the family some meals to freeze and put in their freezer for them. Baby Callan still isn't doing much different. His heart is healthy so that is a good sign. But his lung is still underdeveloped and he has a tube down his chest. He is breathing 30% on his own. Mommy and Daddy are coming home tonight and are going to commute back and forth until he is well enough to come home. Please continue to pray for them! Thank you.

Day 10 and whats going on with my Sister back in TEXAS

So I'm going to start with Day 10 and its topic is: Someone I need to let go or wish I didn't know...

This one isn't that hard. When I first moved out here I didn't know a single person. I went to this wife meeting and I met two lovely ladies. So I thought. One of them is a very good friend and I love her to death. The other one, well she isn't very nice and she makes me feel like I'm a nobody. I know I shouldn't let people make me feel like that, but sometimes that's easier said then done. I've talked to Mister about it a few times and he has told me every time that I don't need to be her friend and I shouldn't hang out with her anymore. The only problem is that she and I are involved in the same things and in order for me to stay away from her I would have to stop going to these and I just don't want to do that because all my other friends are involved as well. (Wow does that not just sound silly or what??)

Moving on....

My sister Brittany has started to make jewelry. And it is some BEAUTIFUL jewelry if I may say!! I wish I had a ton of money because I would buy everything she makes haha. She has a site on facebook and here it is B's Jewelry. Go and check it out!! Happy Hump day all!!!

Day 9 and Top Two Tuesday

So first off I'm going to go back to the Top 2 Tuesday's over at The Undomestic Momma And this weeks top 2 is favorite songs.

So after last night I have to say I have a brand new favorite song. My songs change all the time, and for now my number one is "Momma's Song" by Carrie Underwood. I heard it just last night and I wanted to cry because it made me think of my mom and I. If you haven't heard it you must go and hear it now!!

My second favorite song (that usually always stays up in my top favorite songs) is "Open the Eye's of my Hear Lord" by Casting Crowns. I love this song. I sing it to Emma when I am feeding her (that is the baby that I nanny) and I hum it or sing it to myself when I am in my down "me" time. I also love to sing it in the shower. And I absolutely love it when they play it at church!!

Now on to my Day 9: Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted

Hum, I guess I would have to say an old best friend Kari! We were very good friends in Junior high and in high school. We actually started to drift my senior year. I wish we hadn't and I wish we were still close like we use to be. We keep in touch from there to here but its just not the same! 

Today was my husbands 22nd birthday (that old man) haha. I offered to take him lunch, but he decided he didn't want anything. So we went out for dinner. We went to Islands. We both got burgers and fries and cokes. It was a nice evening out! I loved it! I think he did too.

The girls and I went to the Dessert's house (the family I mentioned who just had their baby Sunday and he has a collapsed lung) and we picked up items and just cleaned the house for them. We also made her 1 year old son some food (chicken and rice) for the next week. I'm hoping they will get to bring baby Callen home soon but all we can do right now is pray! So again I'm asking if you could please keep them in your prayers and thoughts! Thank you! 

Day 8: Someone who made your life H-e-double hockey sticks

This one is still a sore topic. There have been a few people who have really really hurt me in my past. It happened in high school. I finally did move on and I finally did forgive, but I yet to be able to forget. I don't want to use any names, but I'm sure if they were to read this blog they would know who they are. I trust way way to easy and I wear my heart on my sleeve making it very easy for someone to hurt me in ways that I wouldn't even imagine hurting someone. I remember they things they did like it just happened. They play like movie scenes in my head. It sometimes feels so real.

Enough of that haha. Today I kinda slept in again. Since I'm not watching Emma this week I'm just totally relaxing. I did finally get up. I said goodbye to Leslie who is kinda staying with us until he gets orders, but he just went back home for about 90 days for recruiter assistance so that is good for him and his family. I watched two episodes of Greys (I love Greys anatomy) and then I watch an episode (the new one from last night) of Desperate Housewives. I got up did the dishes. Did about three extra loads of laundry that magically appeared today haha. Then I rearranged our bedroom back to the way I had it when we first moved in, only I added my red recliner/rocking chair in the corner. ;-) and that is actually where I am sitting now....LOVE IT!!

Then I just did a few chores here and there...thinking about rearranging the dinning room hahahaha that will be fun. When Mister got home we went to a few stores he likes to shop (price stuff he wants for future budgeting lol) and then we went to the other side of Monterey and went to a place called MYO. We got FROZEN YOGURT. I have never ever tried frozen yogurt, and it was actually very good. We walked in behind a family of 4, a mom, dad, and brother and sister. The mom and dad were way more excited about the toppings and such then the kids were. Mister kinda got in the dads way and told him to go ahead. The dad replied, "I'm just so excited I haven't had this in forever" haha I thought it was super cute. Once I got to the toppings I didn't know what to do with myself either haha. I got the frozen yogurt flavor of cherry coke float, so I just added cherrys, and then I added some marshmallow fluff, and some whip cream. It was super yummy and I can't wait to go again!!

I got news today that my friend Jamie's son who was born yesterday afternoon has a underdeveloped lung. It was shocking news to me...I was kinda out of the loop and didn't get word until I was on facebook this afternoon. So if I could please ask you to pray for them and keep them in your thoughts that would be greatly appreciated! 

Day 7 Someone who has made your life worth living for.

Hum someone who has made my life worth living for, this is kinda hard I have a few people I could name and that is only because for as long as I can remember all I have ever wanted to do was make these people proud. I know there are so many people in my life who love me for me and stand behind me in all my decisions. I can't just pick one person!

Today Mister let me sleep in again! YAY because I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. My throat is burning and my head is still pounding. Blah. When I woke up I got right on the laundry. Sundays are my laundry days I usually have about 5 loads of laundry. That sounds like alot for it just being the husband and I. I am very picky about separating my laundry. Many people don't care, but I care a whole lot! I am almost finished. I just need to swap the whites from the washer to the dryer and I will be completely done YAY.

Mister and Leslie went to the golf course to play some golf. I kinda had to push Mister out the door to go, but he finally did go. When they get back we are making hamburgers and Mister is finally going to use the grill I bought him for his Birthday!

We had a fantastic Sunday I hope you all did as well!!

Day 6: Something I hope I never have to do.

I'm gonna go a little sad on you hear but this is the honest truth...

I hope I never have to lay my husband or my (future children) child to rest. To me that would be the worst thing in the world for me to have to do. And I don't want to do that at all!

So yesterday was Friday and it was "show us your life" over at Kelly's Korner, and it was on Master Bedrooms. I wish I would have remembered b/c I really wanted to participate. Next week I will though for sure!

This afternoon Mister and just hung out and had a great one. I was able to sleep in til 11 this morning and then I cleaned the house for a few hours. Mister had duty last night and so today he tried to sleep this morning.

While Mister was away from the house last night, my Cali Sister Brittany (funny b/c I have a REAL sister named Brittany and they are just like the same person so thats why I call her my Cali Sister, and she has a sister named Samantha how odd is that??? lol) came over and we attempted to make homemade tortillas. Well we think we played with the dough to much and there for the tortillas weren't coming out right. We had 2 completely wrong ones, and one really yummy one. We gave up and decided to make sopapillas with the rest of the dough. Those came out GREAT!!! ;-) I hope everyone else had a fantastic Saturday like Mister and I did! ;-)

Day 5 Something I hope to do in my Life

Sorry again for being MIA! I forget that I have to do this and then I'm laying in bed and at 10:00 pm I remember and I just don't want to get out of bed to do it lol...

So Day 5 Something I hope to do in my life! Well there are a lot...I hope to become a mother, I hope to take a honeymoon to Hawaii, I hope to go sky diving, I hope to visit Europe, I want to see the Vatican, I hope to have a Grandfather Clock, I hope to build the house that we are designing as I am typing. I hope to have a huge piece of land with a tall rock fence so we can raise plenty more GREAT DANES and maybe show them!
See I have a ton of things I hope to do in my life! lol...and I just had to share them all with you!

So today was my last day with Emma for her daddy is coming home tonight for 3 weeks before going to his new PDS! I was a little sad to leave her but I am allowed to "steal" her a couple of times...I don't think I will do that because her daddy doesn't get much time with her!

I got more pictures printed, ordered, and they came in today! I'm really stoked I have them organized and I am planning my "first year scrapbook" the scrapbook of our first year of marriage together! I'm pretty stoked if you can't tell! I only have up to April pictures printed so I need a few more, but this is good enough to get me started! YaY!!!! ;-)

Day 4: Something I have to forgive someone for!

So first off, last night my Homemade Green Chicken Enchiladas, homemade pot of beans, and homemade Spanish Rice came out better then I expected it to! I was super proud of myself! And Thanks mom for the recipe and answering the few questions I had!

So now on to day 4s topic. Something I have to forgive someone for. Hum, I honestly can't think of anyone that I have not forgiven. I always forgive. I do not judge, I forgive, and I move on. Just the way I am. This is kinda a boring post...and I'm sorry.

Last night I went to bed at 8:30pm. I was so exhausted I couldn't believe I did that. Well that sleep didn't last long. It was a good deep sleep too, but I got a phone call from my friend Jaime who has a year old son. Her husband is also in the Marine Corps. She is pretty pregnant and getting kinda close to her due date. I believe she is due on Oct. 15th. Well last night when she called it was almost 11 pm and she asked if they could bring her 1 year old son because she needed to go to the hospital. She was bleeding and having some contractions. I totally freaked out partly because I have still half asleep and trying to figure out what was going on. At 12:30 they were able to leave and pick up their son, (who btw slept in his pack n play and didn't wake once) they said everything was ok. I texted Jaime today to see how she was and she said she was just waking up from a nap. So that means she is got plenty of sleep! YaY!!

So that is about it for today! I hope you all had a fantastic Monday!

Day 3: Something I have to Forgive myself for.

So I totally am sorry that I have been MIA. Wednesday we had a dinner for Kirsten (the mommy of my baby I am with all day) for her birthday. Then I drove to San Jose at 11 pm at night with Brittany to pick up our new roomate.
Then I told myself I was going to get on on Thursday,but I got sidetracked with house work. Friday I babysat for a friend and I totally was tired when I got home. Yesterday was just a busy day all around.
Today I'm sitting her starting to make my dinner. Its my first time making homemade pot of beans, Spanish rice, and green chicken enchiladas. I have my pot of beans going and fixing to start the rest of the dinner. 

Ok so now on to my topic: Something I have to forgive myself for:
Well I'm going to take you back to the night of my wedding. I danced the whole night away and enjoyed every moment of it! The one person I didn't dance with was my Papa (the Marine grandfather) I think about it now and I want to hit myself for not dancing with him. He didn't ask, but neither did I. I'm very upset with myself for not dancing with such a great man. A man that is my hero! A man that I love very much! 

Day 2: Something I love about myself

Hum, something I love about myself...I love that I do not judge anyone by first time seeing. I would rather be everyone's friend then have no friends at all. I'm noone to judge who you are or what you do. I cannot stand it when others judge me, or they judge others when they haven't really given them the chance to get to know them (get to know me)! Especially living the life I am living. Most of the women I have come and will come in touch with are in the same boat as I am and really have nothing to judge!

Wow that was a little harsh..so I'm gonna go ahead and move on...

So today I held the Tuesday coffee at my house. There was only a few of us today, but it was still fun and I of course enjoyed the girls company! Emma was a sweetie pie and did great! Not much else happened today! I hope you all had a fantastic Tuesday! Is anyone else ready for Wednesday?

Day 1!

Ok so I know I said I would start this new 30 Days of Truth yesterday, well yesterday didn't go anything like I had planned it to. LOL. I went to do my nursery duty and then after that I came home made cinnamon rolls real quick and then went up to base so the Mister could get his weekly haircut. After that Kirsten and Emma came by to do laundry and just hang out. I got to see Jessica one last time and I got to meet Evan her husband. They came by to see the dogs because he really really wants a GREAT DANE like Allie!

Ok so now for DAY 1 of 30 Days of Truth: Something you hate about yourself
Something I hate about myself, hum, I hate that I have lost my self-discipline. And this is something I want to work on. I will sleep in on the days that I don't have to watch Emma and then I can't sleep at night and then the next day I sleep in again. This is annoying of myself. I don't like that I can't discipline myself to go to sleep and get up on the days that I don't have to watch her. Also the fact that I will not continue to run like I use to. I use to run for a few miles without needing to stop. Now I can't run a mile without feeling like I am dying. I would like to finish out the run before stopping to walk. Along with the working out I have given up all COKES (AKA POP), candy, and junk food. I had been doing good, but last Friday I had a piece of candy and then a second and then a third. I then went on to have my fourth when a friend took the piece and ate it which of course I thanked her because she knows how badly I want to do this for myself. I also had a coke today and it hurt me today when we ran after work. :-(

That is the main thing right now that I HATE about myself. I am working on it and I will let you know how I am doing....Hopefully I do better!! 

Time will not SLOW DOWN...

I want so badly for time to slow down, but I feel as though it will not it just keeps fast forwarding. Except this weekend it did slow down to where I was even on the wrong day in my mind. All day I have thought it was Sunday. Maybe because Sunday is the day that I do my house chores mainly laundry and I have completed all laundry today. 

Yesterday I said goodbye to yet another Marine wife. Jessica and I didn't have much time together as I would have liked, but getting to know her in the last month or so has been super fantastic! She is an awesome person and I wish we could have had a longer chance to get to know each other a little better.

 

Yesterday morning (Friday) I was sitting at my table playing on the computer and the dogs were outside. I had the screen door closed, but the glass door open and they both got really quiet. I leaned over to see what they were doing and I see Lillie sitting staring though the crack between the blanks of the wood fence. I couldn't figure out what she was looking at, so I got up and I saw this picture...

 My neighbor too had her glass door open and her screen door closed. Her cat was climbing up the screen door and Lillie saw the cat. I think this picture is super funny! I want to print it out and take my neighbor a copy of it. lol. Lillie hates hates cats.

What I've missed...

Not what I have missed, but what I haven't been sharing...
Monday Emma slept until almost 12:30 pm...Her momma woke her to feed her before she had to go back to work. Emma and I then got in the stroller (well I put her in the stroller) and we walked all they way down and met the girls for a nice afternoon walk that ended at Mc Donalds lol.
Tuesday I had my coffee day and Emma was fantastic.
Wednesday Emma and I walked down to the Warf and I got a cotton candy and a subway sandwich. We sat by the beach and enjoyed the sunshine.
Thursday was my last day with Emma. We had coffee at Jamie's and and enjoyed their company.
Friday Emma and her mommy left so I hung out with the girls at Target and then at Marshals. Brittany and I got a sweet tea from Mc Donalds and it was to die for.
Friday evening I had the girls over for a little get together/party. We had a total blast.
Saturday was Jamie's baby shower and I have to say it was a great success.
Yesterday (Sunday) Eric and I headed to San Fran. We got a really good deal and got to see the Bay aquarium and the Wax museum. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed time with Eric. We had a nice dinner and then headed on home.
Today (Monday) Eric is off and we are just being total bums lol. I'm watering my back yard to get the grass green again and we are watching Nip/Tuck on Netflix.
He is off tomorrow morning, but at 2 pm he has a run on base. And then it is back to the daily grind. Emma and her momma are gone until next Monday so I am just gonna re-organize the house and clear of the clutter. ;-)
