I feel like sharing!

So, I was moving all of the photos off of my digital camera to my computer today and I found some really cute pictures that I feel like sharing!

This picture is one of my favorites. It's a little blurry, but even in its imperfections it shows the love we have for eachother. <3

this was on our vacation to San Antonio, TX. My soldier man standing in front of the Alamo!

this is one of my favorite Bella pics taken just a few days ago. She is saying "I Miss my Daddy!" <3

the sticker on the back of my car. <3

A frontal shot of the Alamo.

A close up of one of the flowers in my valentines day bouquet. <3

Me and CODY. My little brother that almost died last year. Read about that Here.

I have a ton more pictures, but I'm sleepy so this will have to do for now!

Also, Have you noticed the flowery buttons Ive added to my page? What do you think?

Friday Fill in #38!

(feel free to join in and link-up over at Wife of a Sailor)

This week’s questions are:

1. How many pets do you have? And what type?

 (submitted by Life and Times of a Displaced Jersey Girl) 

We have an amazing fur-baby named BELLA. She is part German Shepard, part Lab and completely spoiled rotten! She is treated like a human and is definitely a daddy's girl. She misses him terribly right now while he is away at BCT. Mommy is trying to keep her busy by teaching her more foreign language commands! 

2. What are your favorite projects to do while hubby is away?

 (submitted by my-inspired-nest)

Well, I am a die hard scrapbook junkie. I am also a graphic designer, a shower singer, a movie buff, and a painter. These things keep me busy and I also love hitting the gym when I can!

3. What are the must-haves in your deployment care packages?  

(submitted by Christine’s Little Blog)
Thankfully, we have not been through a deployment yet so I can't say anything about care packages... however, if I was to send one today I would fill it with magazines, cards, dice games, cake-in-a-jar, and lots and lots of pictures!

4. If you could star in any TV show, which would it be? 

(submitted by Just a Girl) 

I would have to say I don't watch TV much but the one show that I never miss is Army Wives. Not because I am one, but because I really love all of the characters in the show!

5. What was the biggest hurdle that you faced during your/your significant other’s first deployment? (submitted by The Pavlik Perspective)

Well, like I said we have not faced a real deployment yet, but he IS AWAY right now at Basic Training...and so the biggest hurdle that I have faced so far is some unexpected health problems. Now that the worry is over now I hope that I dont have to face anything that bad again while he is away!

End of the "scary week" update

Well, this week has gone by so quickly. Thank goodness!

I went to my emergency doctors appointment and had LOTS of test run. From what they COULD tell me, everything is going to be fine. I wont know the results of my blood work until next week.

The week is starting to look up! (On Thursday, go figure)

Almost another week down! :)

I promise I will get back into the swing of things and get back to blogging everyday. I just need to get some important personal things worked out!

Hope you wonderful readers understand! :)

Last few days = scary

I know I have not posted for several days...let me just apologize about that.

These last few days have been...well, SCARY. For so many reasons.

I have not received a phone call or a letter AT ALL from Chris since he has been gone. Everyday at the same time I run to the mail box, and everyday I cry when its empty. I have NO IDEA how he is doing, whether he is doing great, or struggling to get by. I write him a letter every single day...and I have not received 1.

So you can imagine how stressed Ive been. 

I found out that a friend from school was hit and killed while she was walking down the street. She was only 21.

RIP Ana.

To add to it, I've been having some severe "girly problems" and I have had to arrange an emergency doctors appointment for tomorrow to make sure that I am going to be OK. 

HOWEVER, in order to arrange my appointment I had to drive an hour away to go to the nearest military installation and get my Military ID, just so that my appointment can be covered under TRICARE. To add to the inconvenience, Chris has ALL of our original documents with him at Basic. So I had to go to the SS office and get a temporary ss card to show them I am who I claim to be.

And all that was AFTER I spent the entire morning locating someone in my area that was both accepting new patients AND accepts TRICARE for this particular specialty.

Oh, and last but not least, I just found out that my aunt died today. She has been battling brain cancer for many months and passed away this morning. Her son (my cousin) who I am very close to just celebrated his birthday yesterday.... so the timing could not have been worse.

RIP Aunt Tanya.

PWHEW.

OK, rant over. Sorry about that. I am ok now. When it rains, it pours right?

Here's to hoping that I survive the rest of what this week might bring.
