Well I don't have anything to complain about!
Life lately has been just amazing!!
I mean sure there are the usual bumps, like bills and the boy being gone so much, but it comes with the job!
But other than that I have been having a fabulous time!!! DJ and I have been spending quality time together, laying in bed talking, taking walks, and enjoying marriage! This past weekend we went to Busch Gardens with friends and then spent Sunday together relaxing, after officially becoming members of our church!! So all in all it was a great weekend!!
The upcoming month has a lot going on but I am looking forward to it! Finally getting things started as the Big E FRG's secretary and getting all our events going!! This weekend is sure to be fun with two cookouts and fireworks! And not to forget the UFC fight at Hooters with friends! I can't wait!! Great friends and a great holiday for this country!!
Life is fast paced lately and has had many changes.
We have had to deal with drama here and there, but I realize that some people are meant to come and go, and I'm okay with that. Doesn't mean you have to treat them badly, they just weren't meant to be in your life. And I have my arms open for the ones I love and friends to come!
More than anything I am just enjoying life!

The D I'm dreading.........deployment...
Still months away but I know that the day we will say "goodbye" for months is quickly approaching, and it's already breaking my heart. Wives are already begining to post quotes and songs for while our boys are away, and as I listen and read, then thought of our last kiss flashes in my head. It's 5:35 am and I have been crying a river already. Scared my wonderful husband to death when he got out of the shower...poor guy!! He came and helped me and wiped away my tears. Its the moments like that I treasurer the most, and the moments like this that will get me through this upcoming deployment. Thinking of these moments and waiting for these moments will keep me sane and give me something to smile about.
I can feel the pressure of it all coming and coming so soon, not to mention this crazy workup schedule we are dealing with literally right up until deployment. My husband is doing all he can to be very positive, as he always has been. Telling me it's still forever away, and that we will make it. I know we will and I don't doubt it. It just already hurts...sheesh how bad is it going to hurt on that day? The day the ships pulls out, taking my heart with it.
I'm very lucky to have the support team and family and friends that I do. As much as I love them all, nothing will replace the support and love I have in his arms...
For now we are going to make the best of the next couple of months and soak up all the little moments!

Moving forward!
Well this week they have the boy cranking again, filling in for someone thath had to make a trip home. But the positive side is that means days off, and more time together! Which I am very excited about!
This weekend we went to the FRG pool party, and although we didn't have many people show up, we still had a blast visiting with everyone and making some new friends.
This week contains more house hunting for us, and hopefully stumbling across something! We are looking forward to a new house and a new start! And people not knowing where we live this time!
I have had a lot of people cause drama in my life since we moved here, whether it was that they couldn't deal with having a friend in a new state, or whether they were mad I wouldn't stoop down to thier level. Or disrespect my husband for them. But after a lot of thinking and time with friends that just care, without stimulations and rules. I have decided I don't want those people in my life, but I am not going to treat them like a door mat. Because every person that has come into my life was put there for a reason, and taken out for a reason. I am blessed to have the people I have in my life, and I couldn't be happier to have them.My life as an indvidual is growing. And our married life is growing, it amazes me that we have been together 3 years, and although some days are rough and I could hurt that boy, he still gives me butterflies! I am lucky to be married to my best friend. And I consider myself lucky I don't have to hide my feelings or change them to post on facebook or myspace, I don't have to fake my love for him. Its there all the time <3

New adventures!
The voting for the FRG board was last night, and I made secretary, I know it was a close race!! I feel honored to have been given the oppurtunity though. I am so ready to jump in and get going!
We have a lot of exciting events coming up!
Other than that exciting news not much has happened around here. We have decided I will be staying during deployment and starting school back up, and why we wont be saving nearly as much money as we had planned, we just had to make adult choices and realize this is what is best for our family.
So with that said we are on the house hunt! We have big hopes for what we are looking for. Hoping for another townhouse or maybe a single family house. I have been spoiled with our backyard now, and just don't think I am willing to give that up, its so nice to be able to let Sassy out to play whenever she wants, and me not have to be outside at 3am with her. So I will keep everyone posted on how that goes!
We are also preparing for comapny later this summer. My in laws will be coming down next month, and hopefully DJ's leave gets approved. After they lleave him and I will be taking a get a way, just eachother, no computer, no phones, no distractions! Oh I can't wait! And then for Labor Day week my best friend is coming from Texas! I can't wait to have her here again!

Another duty day
Well the boy is on duty today, which kind of stinks after having the whole weekend with him! We had so many big plans all weekend and when it came time to go out and do them, we decided to just stay home all weekend, be lazy, and relax and enjoy eachothers company..with the exception of church on Sunday.
We are pretty excited, we finally we and took the Connections class at the church on Sunday morning, which means we will officially be joining VBUMC on June 27, and finally have a church home here. We are also looking into quite a few new advenures with the church, such as woodcarving for the boy, and working the nursery for me. So it should be a very exciting new adventure for us individually and as a couple!
The next two days I have quite a bit going on, and I am looking forward to it greatly. Sassy probably isn't. :( We have been having a hard time with her adjusting to DJ being in and out of the house so much with these workups. Hopefully she gets used to it soon. I hate to punish her for not understanding, but I can't allow her to destroy our home or be mean to him.
Anyways...tomorrow myself, and a few other Big E wives will be doing an FRG fundraiser on the ship! Selling pizza for the sailors, so they don't have to eat in the galley! DJ is very excited! I have a few quick errands to run before I meet the ladies at the pier in the morning, and then my monthly grocery shopping after I pick DJ up from work. Wednesday, I have an ortho appt, sassy has to go to the vet, and then we have an FRG meeting that night. I am running for a spot on the FRG board. I am running against (hate to use that word) some wonderful ladies, so I just hope it goes to the lady that is best for the job and can best take over the postion whether that be me or not. And Thursday I am hanging around the house because the boys new phone is being shipped!
Other than that we are still trying to decide whether we will be moving into a new house in the next couple of months or staying here by bimonthly leasing until he deploys. We like our house, but are ready to be out of the neighborhood and REALLY ready to be rid of this leasing company, not to mention they are wanting to charge us more money monthly for bi monthly and we already pay a very high rent compared to most all of our friends in the area.

Friendships & Lessons Learned
You know sometimes life can be tough. And you think "wow I thought I knew you". But part of becoming an adult is learning who your true friends are and who you just get to know . Sometimes there can be confusion the two, but most people you come by will tell you that their true friends are counted on one hand. The kind of friendship I am talking about is, when the phone rings in the middle of the night they are there, simply because you need them, the time, the gas, the money, none of it matters. The kind of friend who gives just as much as they take, not always taking with no giving. One who you can be honest with, even if its something they may not necessarily want to hear they take it and realize that you are just looking out for them! Learning who your true friends are can sometimes be a heartbreaking process. You get attached and share things then realize it just wasn't meant to be. Not in the way you had hoped. But it's always best to remember God put them in your life for a reason, and the same applies to the reason he removed them. A quote that hangs on my parent’s fridge comes to mind...." God chooses who walks into your life, its up to you to decide you let go, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go." She hung it there my senior year of high school to help me survive high school drama. Me being me, I didn't realize the drama I would go through again as a Navy wife.
Now lessons learned, today I complained to myself about little things around the house and how my head kind of ached. Within a matter of minutes of the complaints. I got a text from a dear friend, stating her husband would be leaving to go IA today..he was due to leave Saturday and within his time at work this morning found out he would be leaving his wife, 7 month old daughter, home and family for 14 months, tonight! As I text her I thought to myself..."and I was complaining". Sometimes I tend to forget how lucky I really am. My life has twist and turns, and I do have health issues that tend to hold me back from things. But I have an amazing husband who loves me, three dogs that worship the ground I walk on, a father who is still protective from states away, and a mother who is my closest friend, and that I can truly cherish my relationship with. I have friends that are there for me, even through the tough times. And my husband not only protects my freedom but protects this countries freedom. I didn't know what exactly to say to my friend accept "I'm so sorry" But knowing her and how strong she is especially being a Navy wife, I know she is going to make it through this, and handle it like a champ!
