WOW!!!

The Blog Hop has been crazy, and so many people are on it! I will definitely be checking everybody out, but it will take a while. I just wanted to say a quick hello to all of my new followers, and I look forward to getting to know everybody!

Today has been a great day so far! I went to church for the first time since I've been back in Alabama, and I can't wait to go back. It was such an awesome service!

I hope everyone has a great Sunday! Be sure to watch the weather if you are around the South!

MilSpouse Blog Hop!!

Niagara Falls November 2009

Hello! My name is Jessica, and I have been married to my DH (dear husband) almost three years. He is active duty Army, and is currently deployed to Afghanistan. We do not have any children yet, but we do have two furbabies! Tank, our black Lab, is almost five years old. Shadow, our black kitty, is almost a year old. DH has been in the Army for a little over five years total. I have been with him for three of those years. It has been quite a wild ride, but we are enjoying it together.

I love to read (both blogs and books) in my spare time. At the moment, I am going to school for Medical Transcription. I have already been to school for Medical Billing and Coding. I should be finished with school around the end of June. I can't wait!!

I can't wait to meet everyone! Have a great day!

By the way, the blog post is part of the MilSpouse Blog Hop hosted by Riding the Roller Coaster!

Happy Birthday!!

This is just a quick post to give my sister a little shout out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! I LOVE YOU, AND YOU ARE THE BEST BIG SISTER EVER!!

I hope everyone had a great Monday!

4 weeks does not equal 1 month!!

So, if you look at my deployment ticker.... it says that today is one month! Apparently 4 weeks is not equal to one month. I get it, but that's so weird! We are officially done with one month of this deployment, and I am so excited! I got to see and hear my DH a lot over the weekend. I am so in love with him, and so thankful for the technology that we have these days.

For anybody that is in the South, I hope everybody is doing ok after the storms this weekend. It wasn't bad where I was at, but not too far away there was a pretty bad tornado. The destruction tornadoes leave are devastating. I will be sending up a few extra prayers for the people who were affected by this weekends storms.

I had a pretty good weekend, other than the fact of the storms. I spent a lot of time on Saturday remember things both good and bad that happened in my childhood. It's amazing what we 'forget' until we start to remember. One memory always leads to another memory. I loved it! I hope everybody else had a great weekend, and I hope everyone has a fantastic Monday!

4 Weeks!!

I'm going to assume that four weeks is the same thing as a month! It's been four weeks since DH deployed. (Of course, with OPSEC it's not the exact date, but I think everybody knows that!) The first four weeks have flew by, and I am very grateful for that. In these short four weeks, I have packed a house, moved it into storage and had a long drive back to Alabama. I am glad to be back home, but I thought it would be warmer than it is. I'm not complaining too much, because I know in a couple of months I will be complaining about how hot it is! I'm still trying to wrap my head around my DH being gone. Oh, and I got to see him yesterday! In real time, not in pictures!! Thank you God for the technology we have these days.

On another note, I can't believe our anniversary is in about twenty days! It's crazy to think of the time flying by like it is, but I am so grateful for that. I know if it keeps going like this, my DH will be back home with me in no time. Ok, I have to go get started on my school work. I hope that everyone has a great day, and a great weekend!!

Good Morning!

I hope everyone's Wednesday is going well. (I actually didn't know what day it was. I had to check my phone!) I am back to hitting the school books, and I have to be done with my school work by 21 June. I am going to be super busy the next two months trying to get everything finished up. I sort of wish that I didn't stop my school work while he was getting ready to deploy, but I would not trade that time with him for anything. So, I will be working on it all the time and that's ok. It gives me something to do during the day while everyone else is at work.

Things are going well here in Alabama. I was expecting warmer weather, but I know that it will be here soon. I'm still looking for my first thunderstorm, but I'm being patient with that one. A thunderstorm in Alabama usually means a tornado. So, I will hold off on that one for as long as possible.

My DH is doing well. I got to talk (on the phone!) with him a couple of times in the past few days. It's amazing what just hearing his voice does, even if he is having some sinus issues. It's sometimes weird to think of him as deployed and halfway around the world. But then I remember when he calls me at 0230, and it's 1200 or so for him. Sometimes, I can't wrap my head around it and sometimes it's all I think about. But, he is doing good and he is sending packages home to me. I can't wait to get it!!

I have to get back to my school work! I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone's Monday is going as well as it can for you! Again, I am at my sisters house and we are trying to find solutions for the internet at my dad's house. I may be heading to the in-laws house with my school books in tow, so I can start working on my school work again. I'm going to have to bust my bootie to get it done in time. I will be so glad when I can start, so I can finish it already! I'm ready to start getting experiences in my job field. But, we are figuring it out and hopefully everything will work out!

I talked to my DH yesterday (and at 0230 this morning). It's so great hearing his voice! I've went and talked with my cell phone people on Saturday. I lucked out so much when the lady said that she had family in another country and told me the best way to stay in touch with DH. Now, I just have to find the calling card that she was talking about and all will be golden!

I hope everyone has a great week!
