Up in the Air

Well at this moment I am up in the air flying to Washington. I love how technology has come so far. Who would have ever thought that we would be able to connect to the Internet on an airplane? Its crazy but I love it! Anyways I talked to Blake this morning and he is doing good, he said that it is starting to get hot over there again, he said it was 100 the other day and I about had a stroke! :) I get into Washington tonight at 6:15 which is 8:15 Alabama and Missouri time. Tomorrow my friend Tami and I are going to the Honda store to pick up a dirt bike for Blake. He is such a kid but what can I say I love him! He is really excited about getting this bike. He found it online and asked me to look at it and I finally broke down and said okay. Which is crazy for me, but I feel bad because he hasn't had a life for the past year. lol! And I'm looking for apartments! YAY! I cant believe that it is already March and the middle of march at that. Soon it will be April and I will be taking trips to Orlando with Leigh, which I am super excited about. If only I can figure out some way for Faulkner to pay for us to go to Disney! That would be the life! and then the next weekend after that I am headed to New York for family member's wedding. I think it is my mom's cousin. I'm not real sure but I was like,'heck yes I'll go! Its freakin New York!" I got some really cute shoes for the wedding and I'm pretty excited about wearing them! Ok so I know I totally got off subject from having the Internet on a plane! So I'm gonna go!!

We are ready

Blake has been gone for 8 months now, we only have 4 months left to go and we are beyond ready for him to be home! I think he is getting really tired of being over there. Knowing that he only have a couple of months left makes it harder I believe. It like being in school and you have summer fever. I think that is what he is going through! But soon enough he will be home and I am so excited. So the lastest update is I'm going to Washington next week to find an apartment. I have moving back in May and I am kinda excited. I know it will suck to leave my family and my friends but I'm ready to be back in my own home, my own bed, and have a somewhat normal life. I'm ready for Blake to be home so we can finally be a family again! We are ready for Germany too. So many people think that it will be so hard, but I really do believe that it will be a lot of fun! Blake and I are truly excited and thankful for this oppurtunity! More to come about Germany when I figure out some stuff from Fort Lewis!

2010

I know it's already March and I haven't updated the blog since December. So I thought it would be a good thing to tell you what has happened in 2010 already! Well first of all its 2010 and that means that Blake is coming home this year! Which is so exciting by the way! For New Years I went to Missouri and had fun staying with Jan and LaMar. Got to see that side of the family! It was a little bittersweet though. I love Jan and LaMar and I have a great time with them but since Blake was in Afghanistan it was different. If Blake would have been in Washington it would have been easier. It sounds weird but him being in another country it was just harder! January 16th came and it was a great day! Blake came home from Afghanistan for R&R. I remember seeing his plane and being so nervous! And then I finally saw him and hugged and kissed him! It was one of the greatest feelings to finally be back in his arms! For a second time stood still. We went to Missouri the first week and had a blast. We got to see all of his family and we got to be at church for 2 Sundays. I know everybody was so excited to see him, I didn't want to leave his side. I felt as if I wasn't right beside him that I would miss something. I felt like a little schoolgirl, I remember just looking at him and smiling! I just love him so much! We then went to Alabama for the second week. He was excited to see the WBC and hang out with them! Hope and Matt had just had their baby boy and they got to introduce a new member into their club! Oh those boys... Time flew by and 14 days were here and gone. He left on February 1st. My friend told me that it was easier to say goodbye to second time because we had already done it once, and this is the second half of the deployment. So when that Monday morning came... it was not any easier. I felt sick to my stomach, the same feeling I had July 10, 2009. And i cried just as hard! it wasn't any easier and I don't know how she did it. But I saw him get on that plane and waved goodbye, praying that the Lord would keep my husband safe for the next 6 months!

It is now March and I have been busy busy busy for the last 3 weeks. Faulkner puts on Jamboree every year. This is where the brother and sister social clubs put on a 10minute musical. Zeta (which was Blake's club) and Tri-Alpha (which was my club) asked me and my friend Michelle to help this year since last year's show was absolutely HORRIBLE!! So we did and we were beyond busy. We had to make up lyrics, chants, dances, props, costumes. Anything we could do to help we did. That ended last night and I am glad that it is over.

I hope these next couple of months fly by! In 2 weeks I will be going to Washington to find an apartment and put a deposit down. Because I will be moving back to WA the last week of May. There is some talk that Blake could be coming home in June so that's the reason behind me moving back so early. I plan on moving into the apartment so that way when Blake comes home he doesn't have to deal with all that. Unless there is something too heavy for my mom and I to move in... then Blake will have to do it! :) Well I will try to keep up blogging better. Leigh is starting to blog a lot more and I get on here to read hers, and then I feel real bad for mine
being so lame! So I got a new background and now here is my new post!
