A little piece of home.....

So today was a really fun time.... I felt like I had a little piece of home with me here in NC. I have 2 homes... I love our home in Tn with our families... but Clint and I's home is Pensacola Fl. We were stationed there for 3 years and fell in love with it. We absolutly love it... I miss it there so much, and when we got orders from there I felt like i let a little piece of me there.... A few weeks ago I was able to go and watch the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon... (which are FYI AMAZING) very good friends. My friend B and her hubby were stationed there back in the beginning of their Marine Corps Journey, so it was amazing to get to experience that with them.... and them to share a part of there past, with us.... and today I got to return the favor... The blue angels have been dear to my heart for years... I know your thinking they are just airplanes... but they are sooo sooo much more than a plane to me.... they are home....
When we lived in Florida my past time was sitting on my front porch watching the blues do there practices, several days a week. Aubrie and Andrew loved it as well. Andrew was 18 months old and we would sit on the porch hearing him scream... HAIR PLANE>... look momma Hair plane! I miss those days... I really do..life in Florida was .......easy... it was amazing to get to share the blue angels... A little piece of home with B and her Family and My dear friend K and her family.. was amazing!!!...

So now i have my home fix and I am anxiously awaiting one day moving back there....:) here are some pictures from the show...

ITS JUST A little RETAIL THERAPY

How funny... that those 2 little words can make all my woes all better.... spend a little moola and ....poof better mood. Anyone who knows me knows that I am kind the impulsive shopper type, and when things are bad or im sad.... i dont eat.... I SHOP and I really shop.... thats how i deal with my problems... WELL..... the bestie has been gone for a week, and I have found my self in a funk... not just cause the bestie was gone.. Another bestie kept me busy while she was away.... the funk i have found myself in again is sue to many things... my dads sickness, deployment, dress anxiety for a wedding,finishing college, finals, final grades, financial aide, bills, LONG CAR RIDE, deployment, friends loved ones deployments, crappy small little casa.... and getting the girls the perfect little pillowcase dresses made,all of these things have contributed to my current mood... So the bestie asked me to go out tonight shopping with her, so i said sure. (Mind you I had no intention on purchasing anything because i dont want to spend before our trip) anyway.... so we went about our shopping ventures.... and found things that we both needed... SO now after a little retail therapy i am out of my funk..... Thank you Bestie for snapping me out of it :) I LYU!!!! and Everyone in the miles house thanks yoU!

again

So like I have blogged before... the damn D word is coming much more quickly then i care for it to.... I know i know I signed up for this... your right I did I knew when I married a marine that he would be sent away at times to a foreign land to fight... but it still sucks!!!!!!! We JUST did this.. i feel like we are just now finally getting back into our life rountine together, although i still have a hard time sleeping on duty nights becuase I have gotten used to him being home again... I have heard so many times... It gets easier, the more deployments you go through the easier they get.... I am here to say... its not the case for me.... :( I never got used to my lover pants not being with me while he was in Afganistan last year.... or TRASHCANISTAN as we like to call it... did the routine get easier yes.. we got into a routine being me and the kidos... but the part of not seeing my loverpants and not getting to talk to him often... DIDNT get easier... SO now I am faced with the whole situation again.. and the PANIC is finally starting to set in.... While lover pants was away the first time, i stuck my head in the sand and tryed to stray away from the thoughts of the "bad possiblilities of him being in war" but now as we are preparing for the "D"word... I am petrified... Everytime the "d" thought enters my mind, so does the widows from here that i met through the blogs .... and i am so scared to lose the love of my life... Its a military wives worst fear, yet somehow these brave women have had to go through it.... I feel so selfish when i think about being scared for my love.... there are so many of us here that are going through the"d" word or are fixing to or have done it before .... its so soo hard for me to wrap my head around... again... i hate this fearful emotional rollercoaster that accompanies the"D" word..... Damn you D word~!! I HATE you...

The GYNORMUS tree frog

Last night I was getting ready to head to the good ol walmart to pick up some things... so i walked out on the porch and saw a small little tree frog.. so being the picture nut that I am I run and grab the camera to get a picture of it... so I snap a few pictures.... I took the camera and put it away and then i was on my way to walmart, my front door does close completely so i reached back and shut the screen door and i look up and I swear its slow motion... i sww this GYNORMOUS tree frog taking a flying leap right at me..... and the SPLAT right against my bear chest.... holy crap!..... talk about freaking....! I FREAKED! all who know me know that I am not a nature nuts and berrys kinda girl, and I dont do slimy things... this little sucker with its sticky little feet are stuck to my chest GROSS!...... I swear if this frog had went down my shirt it would have been the moon over Alabama ave... because i was going to strip my cloths off to get this frog off.... LOL.... so i must have slung the frog off in my crazy chicken wing flapping... then i see the after froggy goo on my chest... that is just down right nasty..... so i turn to run in my house and i see that there are 4 other tree frogs on the side of my house like a posse coming to protect their homie from the evil woman... so i opted not to go back to the porch ... so i got into the car and bathed my self with hand sanitizer......I came home through the car port door... and then when i left to take the kids to school i stuck my head out the door to make sure his homies arent waiting for me... LOL so i guess you can say i took on the tree frog... Here is a picture of the GYNORmous tree frog...
