Silly us!

Nothing much has been going on around here. 6 weeks down, 4 to go for Rick to come home. Yay!!

And now I have my guy friends coming back from deployments. Sometimes, it's just easier to hang out with guys than girls. They don't talk about work and don't bitch about people. So it's nice to have my guy friends that I can chill with, watch a movie, go out to eat, drink, and not have like the weird feelings, since we are all in the understanding that I'm married and don't want to play with them. :-D It's great!

Fun New Years!

I know some people might think it's inappropriate or weird on how you can have guy friends that AREN'T gay and just want to chill with you. Rick has told them to keep an eye out for me and make sure that I'm doing well and to kick anyone's ass that tries to mess with me. It's like my own mini Mafia. Ha! I don't have to justify to anyone what kind of relationship I have with them except to my husband and he knows everything. So there! *end of vent* :)

Yup, nothing much else going on. I've been working on the house little by little. I've been ripping up carpet and patching up holes. The house is a disaster, along with the 5 cats I have. Mylanta, hopefully we will have everything done before 2010. That's our goal. The kitchen, the living room, dining room, guest room, all the rooms. Good luck to us!!

Walking to the Bandwagon...

Well, it's official. I got to talk to Rick last night.. and we've decided to walk to the bandwagon, aka having a baby. Very slowly... haha. He wants to get so much stuff done before we start. Which I understand. I probably should get some stuff done, like finish up the house and the work it needs to get done, try to finish that degree I didn't in college, ummm... learn how to cook better. Rick really wants to get his plane and I've said yes to it in the past, so I can't really go back on that now. That's really what's motivating him to get through ALS and reenlisting for another 4 years or so. So yeah, hopefully my biological clock will be able to hold only for another 2 years. In truth, it is a bit frustrating, but since we had decided kids at 5 years married, I can't change it now, we has goals to fulfill. So yes, we are eventually going on the Bandwagon, just not yet.

Am I ready???

I just turned 26 years old. And it's a bit scary. Well, a lot scary! Should I do this or that? Should I go here or there? Who, when WHY do this or that??????

I have a couple of friends that are pregnant. One is older than me and one is younger than me. And I'm so happy for them! They have their lives changing and it's their wonderful desicion. But... then all of that makes me question myself in regards to starting a family soon, since I just about in the middle of their ages and from what I've heard, my fertility is going down hill. I know that Rick and I said we would be married for 5 years before we would start. And that still sounds like a good idea. But I am always thinking about the ways it could change. How my life would be better or worse if I wait more than 5 years, and vice versa, if I don't wait the full 5 years and want it sooner. Husband and I have talked about it, pros and cons... I think we'll have to have another talk when he gets back from his deployment.

I miss my long hair...

Daylight Savings Time is kicking my bum right now. I can't seem to wake up. I've had my cup of green tea this morning and it usually does it's job of perking me up. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I'm tired. SO TIRED... that last night, when I fell asleep, I didn't wake up for my husband's call. The phone was right next to me. I mean, literally next my head. I can't believe myself. It's the first time I've missed his call since he's left.

The deployment is going well. I'm having an okay time. I miss my husband the most at night, and the weekends. The weekends seem like they last forever. I am always looking for the clocks around the house to see if it's time to go to bed yet. Now that's it's getting nicer outside, I'm hoping that I will make more use of the weekends and go out. It's just that I don't have as many friends to play with. The ones I used to play with are deployed as well. So yeah, it's been okay.

I can't wait til my husband comes home.
