It's been forever...

It feels like it has been forever since I've gotten on the internet. I am staying with my dad, and we are having trouble getting the internet to work. I am at my sister's house stealing internet from somebody. All is going well here. I actually talked to DH today, on the phone!! It was so great to hear his voice, I have missed it! I think the dog and the cat are adjusting to life in Alabama pretty well. My cat, Shadow, decided to get in the vents last night. I'm not sure how long he was in there, but it took me forever to get him out. He was finally ready and I got him out with some spaghetti noodles. Crazy! It will take me a while to catch up on all of the posts, but I will definitely get around to it! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Alabama!

This is just going to be a quick update. I just wanted to let everyone know that I made it back to Alabama. The inspection went great, I dropped things off at the Good Will, picked up the Moms from the airport and we were on our way. It took us about fifteen hours to get home, which is great timing! It wasn't the most comfortable ride with the car being packed, a cat, a dog, and three women. However, we made it and I am finally home. I am still getting settled, and will have to transfer Tricare and everything this week.

My husband is doing good. I usually get to talk to him at breakfast and right before bed his time. I look forward to those times of the day. It looks like I will be talking to him soon! Have a great week!!

Two More Awards!!

I can't say thank you enough!!

I got this award twice today. One is from Rachel  at I Don'e Wear Khaki's Yet and the other is from Southern Belle at Southern Belle and Her Officer. They both have great blogs and I love reading what they have to say. Everyone should definitely check them out!

The Rules


1. Thank the person you received the award from.

2. Name 10 things that make you happy.

3. Pass it on and contact the lucky winners!

10 Things That Make Me Happy

1 - My Husband - I know he will be there for me whenever I need him.
2 - My Furbabies - Shadow and Tank (look down a few post and you will see them)
3 - Thunderstorms - Sometimes, I think I'm going back to Alabama just for the storms! (I'm not really Moms! I know you both will read this!)
4 - My Family
5 - My Friends - both online and in real life. I'm grateful for everybody that I have met through this blog!
6 - Sunshine - Everybody just feels better when the sun is out!
7 - USAA - I know, it's a bank. However, I think they are the greatest bank in the world and I am so glad that I get to use them.
8 - My Phone - Yes, it's a little silly. However, my phone (I have an iPhone if anybody is wondering) lets me receive phone calls from my husband. It will also send me a text message when anybody sends me an instant message on Yahoo! Messenger.
9 - Moon and Stars - I love nights when the moon is full and so bright it lights everything up. Every night when I take Tank out, I am always looking at the stars.
10 - Chocolate - Because if nothing else makes you happy, chocolate will!

Now, to give the award away! I give this award to

New Girl On Post
HellCat Betty
Renee at Waiting to Exhale


As for an update today, I have done nothing but clean. Tomorrow is the last day I have to clean, and then Friday is final inspection. I'm getting more excited now the closer it gets. I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday!

Movers

Well, today the movers came, loaded everything in the house that's being store and then unloaded it at the storage unit. It was kind of weird, because I keep thinking that I am doing a PCS move and it's not at all. It was crazy watching them try to get everything I'm not taking home into a 10 x 10 storage unit, but they did it. Thank God we don't have to move anything for a year, and (crossing fingers) it's a PCS move to somewhere in the South. We are hoping for Texas, but anywhere is good. Tonight, I will be shampooing the carpets and doing a little cleaning. Tomorrow will be more of the same. I can't believe that it's here; that I am moving home in three days! I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

My first award!!

I want to send a big THANK YOU to Via at Cloud Nine for giving me my first award. This is a complete and total shock to me. I can't say thank you enough.

Here are the rules:

1 - Thank and link to the person that gave you the award
2 - Pass this award on to 15 bloggers you've recently discovered and whom you think are fantastic
3 - Contact said blogs and let them know they've won
4 - State seven things about yourself

I am giving this award to:

Raw Adventures of An Army Wife
Queen of My Castle
Sunshine and Sprinkles
A Bee and His Honey

Now, seven thing about me.

1 - I am painfully shy when I meet new people. That makes it so hard to meet new people with the life that I am leading.
2 - I love the Disney Channel. I have no children, but I watch Wizards of Waverly Place. Last night, I watched High School Musical and HSM2. I wanted to see what it was all about. The songs were kind of catchy!!
3 - I cry at everything. Even before the deployment, I am such a tender hearted person. My DH makes fun of me, but he will always comfort me when I cry. And when I say everything, I really mean everything. I've cried at songs, commercials, tv shows, etc. If I see somebody cry, you can just about guarantee that I'm going to as well.
4 - I'm addicted to books! I normally read romance novels, but I'm trying to branch out. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
5 - I am a positive person. I usually see the good in every situation, while DH usually sees the bad. I have my days, but for the most part I am positive.
6 - I don't drink caffeine. If I have a 'coke,' it's usually either a sprite or sierra mist. When I drink my sweet tea (I am from Alabama!), it's the non-caffeine kind with lots of sugar!
7 - I love just about all kinds of music, but country is my favorite.

Thanks again, Via, for my first award!

I hope that everyone has a great Easter Sunday. Remember the reason we celebrate this day.

Relaxing weekend

It's gorgeous outside, and all I plan on doing this weekend is relaxing. Next week is going to be crazy! Monday night, I am getting everything ready for the movers that are coming on Tuesday. Tuesday, the movers will move everything into the storage unit and I will go rent a shampooer. We, or I should say I have to shampoo the carpets, because we live on post and have animals. Wednesday and Thursday, I will be shampooing the carpets and cleaning the house. I will also have to take the shampooer back. Friday, I have a final inspection then I am off to the airport to pick up my mom and my mother-in-law. After that, it's Alabama bound! I am definitely excited about being back in Alabama and having a 'real' summer. I'm excited about thunderstorms! I love them so much, but I don't love the tornadoes that usually come with them. I'm also not excited about the humidity. It does nothing for my hair!

I hope that everyone has a great Easter weekend!

Beautiful Day

Today was a beautiful day! It was a nice 71 degrees outside, and I enjoyed it. Blue skies and sunshine and no humidity. I won't be able to say that in one week when I get back home. I'm so excited about that. One week from tomorrow, we will be driving down the interstate. I can hardly contain myself.

Today was also a 'want to pull my hair out' day. As you all know, DH is deployed. We are trying to find the cheapest way for him to call everybody back here at home. We have currently suspended his phone, but our provider says that we can reactivate his phone and pay $3.99 a minute. I was wondering what everybody else is doing that is in our situation. If you have any advice, please tell me. I would love to hear it!

I hope it was a beautiful day for everybody! TGIF tomorrow... It's suppose to be a beautiful weekend here!
