Oh the Holidays...

So I am in such the Christmas spirit lately and I think I'm driving the hubby crazy haha! We put up our decorations even before Thanksgiving bc we are leaving to go home on the 19th so I wanted to enjoy them at least! :D I have been watching a million Xmas movies and just enjoying the spirits. I guess I am more this year bc we actually have snow here! I love the snow but I have decided driving in it is AWFUL! I only drove in it once and about had an anxiety attack. But I guess I will get used to it.

Only 19 days until I am back home with my family and friends for 10 whole days! YAY! I am pretty stoked about getting to visit home! We will be home the 20th - 30th and then are going to see my grandparents in Michigan for 10 days also, then back to NY and then Jan 12-17th we are going on our cruise! AHHH so much to look forward to in the next couple months! :D

We have been having financial strain lately but it is all coming together now. I got hired for the assistant pre toddler position so I will be working mon-fri 11:30-5:30 so I will be guaranteed hours so I love that and it will help us tremendously. We also got our orders for Virginia so in April we are officially moving again. I am really excited about it now tho. I have decided I am going to go to school for photography in VA. I have always wanted to but Chattanooga never offered it so now I am going to take advantage of it. I also ordered my first "big girl" camera... the Nikon D60 SLR! That is what I am most excited for! I hope it comes fast and then I'll be taking pictures of everything! haha!

Monday is our last bible study and it makes me sad but I am so blessed to have gotten to be apart of it!

Well I think that's it for now! :D

Election, election, election

Okay so the hubs and I didn't vote bc well I didn't make the deadline for the absentee ballots. Im a dumb dumb. But oh well. But we actually were for Obama despite most military people. I hate all the negativeness that is now going around bc yes, everyone has their own opinions but we are a UNITE NATION and even though we may not like the president we still need to be America and be united. It worries me not about who our president is, but about the people of America acting so crazy. I mean no one acted like this when Bush got elected again and look at the shit he did to our country. He about ran it into the ground. I am not political at all but all this crap talking is not gonna help our country at all. So let's just all be united again. haha yeah, I live in a dream world lol.

Tonight my endo went insanely painful and I was doubled over in pain and all I could do was scream and cry. I think I need to find a dr up here and try to get some pain meds or something bc it's sucking bad lately. My hubby tries to help but really it's just not stinking fair lol.

Well thats all Im gonna write for now. I have to let max out bc the hubs passed out on the couch. Poor thing caught my cold and he is sick as crap :(

He's Home!

So after many many MANY delays and frustration, Matthew is FINALLY home! He got home on Thursday Oct 30th and it has been amazing having him home! I mean no, it is def not a fairytale or anything bc there have been major adjustments to get used to for both of us but for the most part it's been amazing! We have spent way too much money but got a new tv and a kitchen table and other stuff we probably didn't need but he had to get all his new toys lol. He has rearranged the upstairs and although I didn't want him to, it does look a lot better. :D He started back to work today and I start back to work tomorrow. It will be nice to get back into the normal routine of things and to actually make some money again since we are broke lol.

But anyway, short update but it's bedtime.

its almost done :D :D

okay so yeah, Im a slacker at updating this thing but I have been going non stop lately. Somehow I got to work everyday this week so time is flying by thank goodness :D And I work tues-fri next week since we are closed on Monday for the holiday! The first 2 batch of soldiers came home Tues & Wed and I went to the homecoming ceremony at 3 am on Wed to take pics for nahlea. Matt was supposed to be home then but got switched back to his old unit but he will be home in about 2 1/2 weeks or so. OMG im sooo excited. EEEK! I have so much to do to get everything ready before then. I cannot believe the time is coming. We will have survived almost 14 months woot woot. Our first and supposedly only deployment. yayy! Life has been really good lately :) I am walking for Breast Cancer Awareness on Saturday and although I know no one who is walking I am proud I am still going to do it! My nana (great grandma) survived breast cancer twice! So I am walking in honor of her and all the other women who aren't here with us today! Hopefully this weekend I will finish up his welcome home signs and get all the closest set and all that good stuff! I hope time flies by!

Also, we are trying to go home for thanksgiving but it depends on if anyone wants to fly us home haha. We are broke but hopefully they will! lol. We put a deposit on our cruise and we leave Jan 12th for Grand Cayman and Cozumel for 5 days! We are sooo looking forward to that! YAY! okay all for now. Im exhausted!

Help me out :D

So I am walking for breast cancer next Saturday and would LOVE for anyone to help me out by donating for cancer research! All you have to do is click on my link and you can donate as little as $5! This doesn't benefit me bc I don't have cancer but I do know people who do so take a little time and donate for a good cause! :)

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

Dear Coworkers, Friends and Family,

This year, hundreds of thousands of people will hear the words, "You have breast cancer," and there's a good chance that some of them will be people we know and love. I have chosen to fight back against this disease and help make a difference by participating in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, and I hope you will join me.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is our opportunity to honor and celebrate breast cancer survivors, educate women about early detection and prevention, and raise money to fund lifesaving research and support programs to help fight breast cancer. But Making Strides is more than just the name of a walk, it describes the amazing progress we can make if we work together to defeat this disease.

Below is a link to my personal page. I hope you will visit my site and sign up to join my team. If you prefer, you can start your own team, sign up to walk as an individual, or make a donation. Hope starts with me and it can continue with you. Please join my team and walk with us to experience an incredible day of inspiration and meaning, and to provide hope for all people facing breast cancer.

To donate now, use this link to visit my personal page.

Sincerely,

Emily Hudson

Life as I know it is lame.

So Im bored with my life. like really bored. I need some excitement or a challenge or something. I really wanna be in school right now so I am driving myself crazy that I am not. But in time I will be :) I only have about 3 1/2 weeks until my life is exciting again but boy does the time seem to be dragging. Although I have been working a lot and staying busy but now I am too busy and need to get stuff done at the house lol. Tomorrow I am going to hopefully book our cruise or figure out where we can go. I am so siked to go on one with the hubs. We just randomly decided to go. I think we probably will have to charge some of it but it will be worth it!

ONLY THREE AND A HALF WEEKS! I think my mind is in a state of denial bc it just seems so unrealistic lol. im so excited but jealous that the first batch of guys come back next week and my husband was the first group to leave lol. but it's okay. I will have him back soon enough! YAYYY!

Okay not much to update on so yeah im boring haha.
