not where I thought we were going....

So we've been in Newnan a little over a month. LOVING all the family time!! Not to mention the good ole southern home cooked meals. (Yeah the treadmill and I have a major catch up time coming haha)

Coming in to this we thought we'd visit for a while and pretty much move on. However, it doesn't look like that is the way things are going. Caleb has found a decent job here, I've fallen head over heels in love with a house, and Toby is gaga over his new school. So, it looks like this is where we're staying.

Hopefully in the next couple weeks we will be putting in an offer on "my" house! Becoming home owners!! Starting our whole brand new lives as Newnanites! Eek! Just the thought makes me have all kinds of crazy emotions!! Over all though I think we're happy! I know our parents are, they are over joyed to be getting in so much grandparent time =0) (have I mentioned our boys are the only grandkids on both sides)

So on top of everything else I'm thinking about going back to school (yeah I've said it before I know) Knowing we are actually putting roots down somewhere really eases my mind with the whole process though.

*Deep Breaths*

Lets go!! We're gonna jump into 'civilian world' feet first and in the deep end!

*peace & love*

If I make it through this....

Geeze! We have been in lodging for 2 nights now with 2 more to go!! It's really awesome this time around!! The boys have their own beds in a shared room, then Caleb and I have our own bedroom as well. The extra awesome bonus FREE INTERNET!!! YAY!! =0) Lord knows I can't go too long w/o Facebook lol.

Now IF we can clear effin housing!! Our house wasn't clean enough sooo 4+ hours of cleaning and guess what STILL NOT CLEAN ENOUGH!!! WTF! I have seriously been in tears over this stupid house! The ONLY way to get the floors the way they want them is to spend painful hours on your hands and knees SUPER scrubbing! I am not wanting to do it....BUT I may. Still waiting on Caleb to come back w/ the outcome. UGH!! It's frickin crazy!!

Anyway- TJ and I got to meet Wee Man yesterday!!!

It was sweet!! I figure touching Wee Man who has touched Johnny Knoxville is just as good as actually touching Johnny =0)

Anyway- we're just waiting to get to GA now!! I am getting more and more excited by the day!!

Just praying TJ and Opie do well on the plane!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody!!!

peace and love

New Start

So I've been gone for quite some time. I decided to start back up blogging b/c i think some pretty interesting things are about to go down in my life :)

Okay to catch up on whats been going on....

Caleb is being medboarded out of the Army. As of Feb we will no longer be a military family. On Christmas however we will be flying back to the states!! We haven't seen our families in 2.5 years (and more for some) needless to say we are beyond stoked!! We will be temp. staying with my in laws. Until we find work and get on our feet. Which means Toby will get to go to the school that my mom works at! He's pretty excited and I think that helps with the nervousness of starting a new school. I really just can not wait!!

They came and packed all our stuff yesterday. So for the next couple days we're making do in a house with pretty much only the essentials. The Army only pays for 3 days of lodging so we decided to tough it out here til our 3 days get here. Anyway- so we do the Elf on the Shelf thing right. Fred is our Elf he started coming to our house last year and has made a return this year. He will also be traveling with us from here to GA. Yesterday he was in our pantry which was a great place to be b/c the movers were not supposed to go in the pantry (you can't pack food anyway) we also placed our paper goods to use for the next couple days in there too, along with a toaster we were going to use then trash. So right before the movers were done with everything, i walk into the house and see the last open box with the toaster in it! all the sudden it dawns on me that they prob. took Fred too. I go check and sure enough Fred was gone! We ask them about it they find the box, open it and not only is Fred inside but our paper plates, plastic cups, and a ton of FOOD! WTH!! I was super flippin hot! and the food they packed was just random stupid stuff. I seriously am not a fan of movers at all! They also ripped my James Iha picture shrine off the back of my stand up mirror....I had it on the frickin mirror for 10+ years!! UGH!!

Anyway- guess I'll go now that we're all caught up! Have no fear though I will be back in the next few days!!

*peace love and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!*

i'm BACK!!

So after my e-mail and blog were seriously screwed up I've gotten it all worked out and am BACK!

Sadly not a lot has happened to write about!

Toby finished school and his summer enrichment program and is now home for the next month YAY!! We totally blew our tire out on the (pos) car. While putting on the spare we discovered a shit ton of other problems =0( So now we're driving as little as possible and waiting til Aug 9th when we will be getting a different car!! We've already purchased the car but the people are not PCSing until then so we have to wait! I'm super excited though because it is a small car!!

Caleb has started working over nights and I am NOT a fan!! We did this moo poo before he joined the Army and i thought I never saw him b/c he worked third shift and i worked first.... turns out you just don't see people who work over night even if you're sitting your bum on the couch all day long!! The only plus is that he gets a nice chunk of days off!

Anyhoo- thats about all thats new this way.

hope all is well wherever you may be!!

*peace &love*

what a day...

Today I must have had a big sign on my head that said....*Friendly...please talk to me!*

After dropping Caleb off at 8, the boys and i went to Burger King for breakfast. Theres this guy here I see all the time and I swear if I didn't know better I'd say he was...um....well... idk super trashy like old construction worker guy. Anyway- He decided to give me all these parenting tips for the climate here. Like I should be feeding my 2 year old bell peppers to keep all his neutrons in balance...okay?!?! He told me he was a stay at home dad. He did say his mom always said; it's easy to walk in and mirco manage but if you haven't been in it all day you have no clue. I did agree w/ that!

Okay fast forward to 930 ish, TJ and i had dropped Toby at summer school and decided to goof off in the PX. This poor girl came up to me and started asking me about EVERYTHING she had in her buggy! she was like 8 months pregnant and the poor girl was overwhelmed to say the least..... she had about 4 jumbo tubes of A&D, a couple of desitin and a few butt paste to top it off! Thinking she would need all of them! I told her what i knew but wasn;t sure I was much help....until she thanked and hugged me!

It was refreshing though because most of the time people walk around all angry faced and it just drives me NUTS!

Anyhoo- gotta get off and go get Caleb! Going to a Shrine sale in the am....it's like a flea market at a shrine! Should be interesting!!

*peace & love*

...a night OUT!

So Caleb and I FINALLY had a night out after 2 years of being w/ the boys 24/7.

I dropped the boys off at The Pasions, who live just a couple houses over, at 6. We took off for the train station immediately! It was super crappy weather, but we walked anyway! We rode the train to Machida (only 2 stops away). We walked around, went into a music store and looked around. Then we went into TGI Fridays.. Caleb had a long island ice tea and i had a pina colada. But because thats the "spot" in Machida and certain people hang there we left. Not to mention our drinks were 12something a piece! We walked around, went into an awesome hat shop goofed off trying on hats and what not. I got a new pair of sun glasses! Then we went in the arcade played the crane machines and the slot machines for a bit. Ended up in a biker themed bar, ordered a couple of their random special drinks, took a shot and had a couple of jager-bombs. We left there and headed home. When we left the train station Caleb went into a store and came out with roses!! So we walked in the pouring rain from the train station, but we didn't mind. We picked the boys up a little past 10.

We missed them so very much, but it was sooo refreashing to get out!! Today was awesome too! I know that had a lot to do with 1) the boys sleeping in til 9! and 2) our time spent out and alone last night! We didn't do to much today but play outside with the boys!

Welp that about sums

*peace and love!*

Take the money and run...7 years in progress...

Okay so this blog is a day early but tomorrow will be busy so today it is =0)

So if you don't know Caleb and my "song" is "Take the Money and Run" by the Steve Miller Band, if you've never heard it you should def. look it up and listen. We totally planned on living out that song...and 7 years ago it seemed pretty fitting. We still joke about it but just with 2 kids in tow. No doubt though anytime that song comes on we both look at each other and smile....we will always be Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue at heart =0)

By now if you haven't guessed June 16th is our 7 year anniversary, and no he's not sending me and the boys to Maine for the summer!! (and Marilyn Monroe is def. not moving in upstairs haha) I realized the other day that sooo much has changed in 7 years. We've both grown, together thank goodness. We've made 2 beautiful boys together! We've traveled across the globe! We've loved, we've fought, we've always made up.... we've laughed, cried, hugged and kissed. The usual stuff right =0)!

HOWEVER I've realized he's changed me a bit.....in 7 years, I've become a Yankees fan (I know don't tell my southern lovin family!!) I've gotten rid of my fear of motorcycles! I've embraced the fact that I am a girl...and the only one in the house so I totally LOVE it!! I've realized I can love someone whole-heartedly and do so everyday all day!!

To sum up a blog that could go on all day... I still love my husband, I'm still his #1 fan and always will be!! I can't believe it's been 7 years but I'm more than ready for 7 more! Who knows maybe one day we'll make it Old El Paso!!
