Thank yous and new update...

First off I want to Thank you awesome and kind ladies for reading my blog and commenting! Y'all are awesome!!
Second Grandma has been walking all day today! She will get up and do a few laps around the living room, and then she walked all the way back to her bedroom to the rest room and back! Of course she has the assistance of her walker, but she is doing fantastic!
This side of the familiy is very strong so I hope that I have inhereted this side of the family for that reason. My mom dad's side of the family hasn't been healthy with old age, and pass at earlier ages then my mom moms side of the family! I don't know what my sperm donors side of the family is like and I hope there isn't anything bad and I hope I don't have those jeans haha.
I do miss Eric of course, but I am still loving it here! I haven't been out of the house much and so I'm starting to get a little antsy! I feel like the walls are closing in on me! haha
I saw last night that the CMA's are the night of the our ball! Booo I'm a little sad about that haha
Yesterday (or the day before) I watched the Ellen show and Taylor Swift was on. I love her! Well after she talked to her and after she preformed they brought this Navy wife out and she was an emotional wreck (I would be too hahaha) She had said that she walked down the isle to Taylor's song "Love Song" (one of my favs) and then a month later he husband left for a deployment (I think on a ship I don't really understand the Navy) well then Taylor comes out gives her a hug, holds her hand, gives her a signed guitar! ooo I was super jealous, and super happy for her! I was also crying b/c I'm an emotional wreck all the time and a big o'le sap!
What do you think about these elections. I ddin't vote b/c I'm registared back home in Texas and I didn't know how to figure out a way to vote. But I can bet you that when its time to vote for our President that I will be figuring out that way or I will be flying home to vote!

God is Good

So we went to the doctor today and he had fantastic news! Grandma was able to get a walking boot on and is able to put as much weight on it as she feels comfortable. She is super happy about that and so am I! I thinkt the whole family is!
She let me drive to the store and the post office and back home all alone (wOW) lol. Its not as bad as driving in Cali that if for sure!
Today as I'm sitting here I get a few text messages from an old friend that I hadn't talked to in a few and it was good to catch up! Don't you just love those!!
Awe I love it here in the fall! Its cold, but its a nice cold. The leaves are very pretty! And it just smells so good here! I miss Texas and I miss NC. I would love to be here! I think that when deployment comes I will be leaving our duty station and coming to NC for the duration of Eric's time in the sand. I always said I wasn't going to stay at our duty station, but I totally forgot about coming here during that time! So I think here is where I want to be! ;-)

Its November 1st!

10 Months ago. Wow its already been 10 months of marriage...I can def. say those months went by super super fast! We have two months to go and we hit our 1st year!
I'm enjoying my time here I really am! Today I went with my great-aunt Sandy to Target and then to the grocery store to pick up a few items. She and grandma argued about me driving her van or not. Grandma says that "in-experinced" drivers aren't allowed to drive. Well Aunt Sandy logged on to statefarm to see what "in-experinced" drivers meant and its anyone who has been driving for less then 3 years! Well I've been driving for 4 going on 5 in January (that isn't including the year driving with my mom or dad next to me with my permit! So Aunt Sandy won and grandma agreed that I can drive to the grocery store and the post office lol. (those are the only places I know how to get to and back from haha)
I kinda know how to get to Target, but I'm not home, so there isn't really anything I need to buy hahaha.
I've been watching a ton of tv here! And totally just vegging out! I hope that I can fit into any of the dresses I have at home for the ball haha. If not I don't know what I'm going to do!
Grandma has been doing a ton better! Today she stayed out of the bed room all day! Not once did she go back to bed! I'm super proud of her! I knew she would get there b/c she is super strong! This side of the family is healthy and strong. She turns 88 on November 8th (the day I leave) But she def. doesn't look 88! The fall was caused by her dang dog! He is jsut super hyper and pulled her out the door that morning! BLAH!!
Tomorrow we go to the doctor!! YAY

I'm here...

So I'm finally here! I'm here in NC, and I am loving life! (not that I don't already) But I feel at home. I lived here my first two years of life with my mom. We lived with my grandma (who fell) and my grandpa. After that we traveled here every Summer! My grandpa past away in 2006 from a brain bleed. Summer 2007 was the last time I was here so it has been a while! I'm super glad I came! My grandma is doing well. We have "visiting angels" here who are helping her get out of bed and go to the bathroom. But she has gotten alot of strength back! Tuesday we go to the doctors and get a cast on the foot! YAY! Then hopefully she will be able to walk on her foot.
When we normally come here we usually do things outside of the home like go to the beach, or to the lake, to see places and such. But this trip I'm just mainly here to spend time with her and help her around the house! Which for me has been super nice! This time difference kinda kicked my butt but not as bad as I thought it would. I guess that is all I have for now...

Its official.

So I will be leaving Friday my plane leaves at 1130 to North Carolina. I have a stop in LA and a stop in Atlanta. The travel time is over 9 hours. Wooo that is going to be a long day and it won't help that I am going to a different time zone. A 3 hour different time zone!
But I am excited to be going to see my grandma and my family that lives there. I haven't been there nor seen them since Summer of 2007. Eric and I went that Summer and that was the last time. :-(
I'm not so happy about the reason for me having to go if you know what I mean.
It does look like she won't be needing surgery so that is good, but they are waiting for the swelling (I don't remember if I mentioned but she broke/fractured her foot when she fell) to go down before putting it in a cast. So she has to take care of it and needs to stay off it. My Great-Grandfather (her husband) past in the Spring of 2006. So she lives alone. My Great-Aunt Sandy (her oldest daughter, my grandmas sister) lives farely close to her so that is an upside!!
I was/am hoping for orders to Camp Lejune, NC so I can be close as well and not across the country from her. It would be 20x easier to travel 7 hours to her rather then a 5-9 day trip or a 9 hour flight travel. Mister didn't put Lejune on his "dream sheet" but if he is needed there they will still send him it is just a "dream sheet."
I'm kinda just rambling, but I usually do that best when I'm feeling like I am. I have to get the house cleaned and do the laundry before Friday (no biggig at all since I stay home its usually always spotless except for the wood floors b/c you have to sweep them like 3 times a day and with the dogs its just a little annoying lol) I also have to pack, but It won't be much b/c she always has shampoo and conditioner out the wazoo for all of us who visit her, she also has body was, and a blow dryer! YAY. I'll just have to pack clothes, shoes, makeup, and my hair strightener.
I also don't have a laptop (since mine is out) to take so that is a lot less hassle for me on the trip! I do wish I had a portable dvd player though that would be nice!
I keep asking Mister if he will be ok for a week without me. He says yes, but I'm a bit worried lol. My house will def. be destroyed! haha
I think I rambled enough for today lol. I will I'm sure have more tomorrow.

So busy and so stressed!

Sorry I have been MIA again! I've just had a lot going on...(mostly in my head) but none the less its been crazy.
We still haven't gotten orders but I feel them coming. Eric is starting to get ready for his TESTS! And I'm starting to get ready for this move.
We were planning on my mom, dad, baby sister, her friend, and my mother in law to come here for Thanksgiving.
Today I got a call from my mom saying my Great Grandmother has fallen and we need family there ASAP. She lives in NC so looks like Friday I'm on a plan to stay until the 8th.
We have the Marine Corps Ball on the 10th.
Eric has his 301 that week also.
Then the next week or so family comes in (unless they have to go to NC)
Then Eric has his BIG TESTS.
Then Eric Graduates.
Then hopefully we have orders and can begin the process of moving.
If not then we have Christmas BREAK.
Then possibly a move! BLAH!!! So stressed!

Day 16 and Show Us Your Life!

Day 16: Something or someone I COULD def. live without!

Hum, I could live without this terrible pain in my chest that I have had for over a year now. Its not heart burn and its not heart ache (Misters words haha), but its like this sharp stabbing feeling and it hurts so bad sometimes that I can't even breathe. I would rather hold my breath so the pain isn't there.

Today is also SUYL over at Kellly's Korner and today is The Office.

So this is our office...

This is actually an old picture from when we first moved in back in February. It looked alot nicer then it does now...

This is our book shelf with many of his Arabic books, his dvd player, and his projector. Beside the shelf is his pull up bar. Then there is the desk with my fantastic new printer and a few of my new projects (uncompleted on top). The tote underneath with the blue lid is all my Mary Kay paper work stuff.

The boxes on the far left are boxes that are going home with my mom when they come for Thanksgiving. The bottom box has my old High School stuff that I don't think we will have room for and I want her to put in storage. The top box is stuff I don't use that my little sister might take interest in. The stacking shelf thingy is all my scrapbookin, painting, and coloring supplies lol. On the far right is a big printer and a little cd player neither of them work and I just don't know what exactly to do with them. I don't know if it is ok to just throw them out??

This is the only picture on the wall out of all 4 walls. This is Misters Plt. back in Boot Camp. Handsome men! ;-)

We moved Lillie's bed in here back in May. She was in a tiny little "room" (the housing office said it was a room, but its actually suppose to be like a utility closet. Well it was big and she fit, but I just felt like she needed more breathing room haha so I moved her in here! She seems to have been doing a ton better in her since May! So YAY for us!

I'm supper glad I was able to upload this pictures for you all to see! I was so ready for this weekend to finally come! Tonight Mister and I are just hanging out at home. Tomorrow morning I am going with Alanea to the Mall to go MC Ball dress shopping! Then in the evening out with girl friends for some karaoke. Sunday I have a baby shower to attent to that I am super stoked about!! ;-)
