Happy birthday

Happy birthday to me! Thank you sooo much baby for making me smile today with your call this morning and your IM to me as well. I wish you were here with me to celebrate it with me. You are one of the reasons I wake up in the morning (Savannah being the other). Can this year come any faster.. I'm thinking of building a time machine! Whos with me?!

Safety NCO

I talked to my husband the 4th and havent heard from him since, he is in the field being a safety NCO. They just had to of thrown it on him because he didnt mention it. My birthday is in 2 days, I got my present from him! He sent me a Wii Fit! I have been wanting one FOREVER! They are so hard to find here. He also put me a note in there. It makes me miss him even more then I already do. I wish he were here to thank him personally but email is all I got! I am so glad he thought of me! Ugh! R&R can't come quick enough. We are going downtown to dinner and to drink a little for my birthday, I haven't legally been to a bar. So it should be fun!I wish he were here. Savannah had a fever the other day and thankfully it broke without making a trip to the ER! Counting down the days baby until I can hold you again!

Its been a while....

I know I haven't really been keeping up with this, but I am trying to stay as busy as I can! Its making the time go by so much faster! I finally got to see my hubby on the webcam 5 am this morning, I got 4 hours of sleep, but it was totally worth it! I love him so much. Candice and I have found unique ways to pass our time, writing random sayings on our friends cars/trucks! Ha! I love them! Just wait, there are more to come. I have finally started feeling good enough to wash ALL the laundry including his, I only have one shirt of his that I WON'T wash! It stays on the recliner. R&R is going to be sometime in December, or maybe earlier! I can't wait to pick Mike up from the airport and JUMP in his arms! Its so far away, but THAT, that seems so close! My birthday is coming up and the hubs said that he is sending something for me! I can't wait to see what it is! Savannahs birthday is next month, the big ONE! I am so excited to plan it. =]

Dog tags and clean boxers

Yesterday came and went, it was my first day home all day since he left. It was nice and lonely at the same time. I am so glad I was blessed with Savannah, she definitely kept me on my toes EVEN when she was screaming for hours because she is getting more teeth. I love her! She is my everything and the reason I wake up in the mornings. Candice came over last night. I love her! I have spend almost everyday with her since the guys left. She found out at the beginning of the week that she was pregnant and I couldn't be happier for her! She has tried so hard and finally it paid off! I can't wait to become "Aunt Jennifer" to her third lil one. We decided that I am going to go with her to her appointments and take pictures and video to send to her husband. While Candice was over here, she was joking around saying that Mike was online. My heart dropped, but then she told me she was just kidding! I like to have chocked her! Finally, as I was making us food (hot dogs), she said it again. I didn't believe her and as she continued to say it and get louder, I finally walked over there and saw that she was telling the truth. He was online and had IMed me!!! The first thing he said was "Short one are you there?" I was in heaven for those 10 to 15 minutes I got to talk to him. It wasn't over the phone or webcam but its better then nothing.


I stayed in all day today too, the weather was suppose to be bad, from what it looks like now, I could have done something!! It doesn't seem that bad right now, just a bunch of rain. Being from Texas, I can drive in it easy! I have been sleeping in Mike's boxers, not the dirty ones! It makes me feel like I can be close to him even though he is a million miles away. I also still haven't taken off his dog tags and probably won't until he comes home! I found another pair and put it hanging in the truck from the mirror.

4 days and a phone call! =]

Hubby has been gone for 4 days, but it seems like forever! I finally got to talk to him for 20 minutes last night! Made my day! I missed hearing his voice! He said that he was thinking that deployment could only be 10 to 11 months. I'm hoping for sooner not later! All I can hope for is the best. Man! I miss him. I am doing alot better then I was when he first left. I guess I'll keep getting better and easier as the day gets closer and closer to my love coming home. Boy, could I have used him for his snow driving abilities last night! I was on my way home from Candice's and the weather was pure insanity. You could barely see and then some spots you couldn't see anything. But thankfully I made it home safely. Driving 10 miles! The dogs are digging it though. They don't wanna come in from the back yard.

Day number 2 that Savannah has taken off her diaper in the morning! Man! She should have waited for her daddy to get home! But he will be soon enough.

There is still alot to do with the house, I still have some unpacking to do and then tape and paint.

The day came and went so damn fast, I hate how my good bye went! I was made to leave earlier then some of the wives and really didnt get the family alone time I wanted! I have to wait till R&R for that. I cried so hard yesterday. Savannah looks just like him and it kills me. When she says "dada".... I just want to cry more, when she tries to walk, I feel like breaking down. All this stress is adding up and its breaking me down. I just want to sleep and then wake up and he is home!!!! I gotta stay strong for him and my baby girl though.

ITS HERE

The long awaited D-day has finally arrived. Today has been a mad rush to finish things that haven't even been started. There is soooo much more stuff that has to be done after he leaves. Stressful would be the word I am looking for. Thankfully, I have amazing friends that are here with me and will help me with anything and everything!!!! I am not exactly sure how I am going to react to knowing that he is gone.... for a year or more. I do know that I have ALOT of house projects that need to be done, I have decided that I want to learn a language. What?! I don't know yet? Maybe try Spanish again. I took it for 3 years in high school but seemed to have forgotten most of it... or maybe German, or Italian?! Just something to keep me busy and make this year go by extremely fast. Little Savannah isn't going to be little when he comes back! What a shock that will be! Everything is going to be different!!!
