Two weeks!! Only two weeks today until my husband comes home from Korea! Ugh I cant wait! but def feel those nerves kicking in big time!! I cant believe its that close! Today he will have his plane tickets in his hand!!!
So today was a beautiful day! Amazing weather here in central Florida. I'm loving it here although I am pretty lonely. But the loneliness is almost over. thank God! I just got done watching Greys Anatomy, I love that show. I still remember watching the first episode. I was in my room at my parents house, I think I was a freshman or sophomore in high school. I remember thinking, I think I'm gonna like this show. I love it still! But todays episode, just like most, made me miss my husband even more. Seeing the couples on the show go home and together and get to kiss and hug each other at any given moment, yea it makes me miss him. But the show was great, and pretty much about sex, so needless to say, I missed him EVEN MORE LOL. But like I said, it's almost here!!! I cant wait to pick him up!!
I cant believe I've already been living here for two weeks now. Still dont know too many people, but I'm learning the town pretty well. I went to a few consignment shops today, I love it. I actually got to wear jeans and a little sweater today. Nice and chilly right now outside.
But back to the grind of things, if you consider being a housewife for now a grind lol. But its making the days past quick getting to know the town, looking around, and job hunting.
Hope everyone had a great day! Thanks for reading!
TWO WEEKS!!!!!!

One more day, One less day.
Well its Monday night, that weekend went fast thank goodness! Only 17 more days of this long year! So today was yet another boring day of the waiting game. Yes, the waiting game. Trust me its a game you dont want to play. Its longer than monoploy. And we all know how long that goes. Until someone gets mad cause they are losing too much and they give up or a fight starts over how many little green houses are too many lol. anyway, back to the blog. <-- that happens when youre bored.
So, today was a pretty good day. Just did some house things, slept lol, played the wii. Oh the wii, I've never been a video game kind of girl but hey it passes the time. It was raining like crazy tonight and well the power kept flickering, and then boom it went out for about 20 mins. Sitting here, lighting all the candles my husband thought I was crazy for buying lol. Needless to say, the house smells VERY nice right now lol. Always have cadles ladies, no matter what your husband says :) Btw, I highly suggest the Leaves scented candle from Bath and Body works, it smells not so swell in the in the jar but when its burning, AMAZING!
So while the power was out, as I sat here in candle light, alone and my phone only only one bar lol, I decided to start typing this. Thank you Microsoft Word lol. While sitting here, I cant help but be sooo happy that my husband is almost home! 17 days people! 17!! out of 365! Today TMO picked up his stuff to be shipped back home and he moves out of his dorm to billeting this friday! I cant believe all this is happening already! I dont realize how much i miss him until I am sitting here in the dark. alone. no tv. no sound. nothing. just me and i cant help but wonder, how many more times will I have to do this. Will I have kids the next time this happens. Next time he God forbid gets deployed. Just another day in the mind of a military wife. But none the less, only happiness is in my mind right now. My husband is almost home! But with him almost being home, the feeling of being nervous takes over me as well. So nervous about what I'm gonna wear when I pick him up, how I'm gonna do my hair and make up that day. I know I'll be at the airport an hour early just because I'll be sooo anxious and excited and DO NOT want to be late! I cant wait to see him walk through the gate and oh I know I'll start crying. But I'll try and keep it to a cute few tears cry and not the big red face, squished face, nose wider than normal face that we all get when we try and hold back a cry. Cause girls, thats not a good look for anyone! lol. but seriously. I cannot wait for Nov. 4 at 11:30am! its gonna be an amazing day! did I mention its only 17 days! :)
To anyone else going through this right now, or who have gone through it, only you know the feeling. Only you can feel the excitement in my heart! So to anyone going through this right now, stay strong girls! Its worth it!!!
One more day of waiting is one less day of waiting!
Have a goodnight guys, and thanks for reading! :)

Cheers to a new life....
Well here it goes. I'm a 22 year old, newlywed. Recently married into the military (AF). Uprooted, from Texas to Florida! My husband you ask? In South Korea. Been there since last November (2010). Heres our story....
We met back in 2009 downtown San Antonio, out celebrating both of our birthdays, since they are only two days apart. We were at a restaurant, he and some of his other air force friends came up to our table of girls and asked what we were gonna be doing the rest of the night. Little did I know at that moment, that I had just met the man of my dreams. If you believe in fate, read on. So we decided we would hang out with them, grab a couple drinks from one of the bars new by. Us girls got up, ready to leave waiting for the guys. well then ended up taking too long, so we went on our way to a bar. About 30 mins later, walking along the riverwalk, we crossed paths again. (pretty God doing his job). They asked us if we wanted to get some drinks, so we did. Instantly, my husband and hit it off. We talked and danced the whole night. Had a blast. Ended up hanging out till about 5am. Perfect Birthday! He asked me for my number, me never thinking I would talk to him again, considering he was stationed in Idaho (down in SA for 7level training) I gave him my number. Something in me told me to throw out the old rule of not calling the next day, so I did. I called him, we ended up talking for hours. And the next day, he left back to Idaho. Now I used to never believe in long distance relationships. Didnt trust guys very much. Not my fault (you know what I mean girls). All those beliefs, went out the window with this one. We talked everyday, for hours. By Christmas, which was only a couple weeks later, I knew I loved this guy. I knew it was real, based on the fact that it was all the REAL HIM I fell in love with. The Real Him. Someone can only know the real person from talking to them, getting to know them, and being states away, thats all we had. By Christmas, we were officially a couple. Taking a risk on love. Taking a risk on long distance. And taking a risk, getting hurt. Everyday, I fell more in love with him. As he did me. I think, jk. seriously. Days past, then weeks, then months. I finally got to go see him in Idaho in July. Talk about butterflies!!!! We talked everyday, talked on Skype, but seeing him in person again, oh man i was NERVOUS! we both were. but everything was amazing! As soon as I saw him at the airport, I knew he was the one! I knew one day, I'm gonna marry this guy. It was a wonderful week! I had a blast! falling even more in love with him! He definitely, is my hardest goodbye. Being dropped off at the airport, ugh, so hard! I cried. Of course. Because I knew I wasnt going to see him again for a while because I was in nursing school. A couple of months past and I ended up being able to go see him again in September. Another AMAZING visit. By this time we knew he was going to be stationed in Korea for a year come November. Ugh, even worse goodbye this time. Knowing I wasnt going to see him for almost 9 months...not that we hadnt done it before, but this time it was different. A stronger love was being left behind. In a sense. At the airport waiting for my flight, I was that person that everyone looks at and thinks, Oh they must be going home for a funeral, nope just red eyed puffy faced from crying knowing how much I was going to miss him. I got home back to Texas, and we started planning on me going to New York to visit him and his family before he left to Korea, we couldnt go without seeing each other again before he left! So last October I went to New York to see him and meet his family. It was a great time, and oh man was I nervous to meet them. I actually had to meet them alone, lol because my husbands plane didnt come till the next day from Idaho. talk about nerve racking!!!! but it all went well :) But oh gosh, leaving that airport was the hardest goodbye of them all. But luckily, my flight was cancelled due to weather and we got to have one more day together! Again, God working on my side. Kind of like a little extra gift from him :) Shout out to God for that! Thank you! :) So the next day, we had to do the goodbye all over again (the only bad part). So he left to Korea, a few days later. Whoever invented Skype, a pure genius! I dont know how we would have done it without. So props to the couple who did it back in the day before the Internet! Anyway, days past, weeks past, then months. I wish I could say being apart gets easier to you knew military girls, it doesnt. In a way you get used to it, but it gets harder at the same time. But trust me, time does fly! He finally was able to come home in June this year. But heres the big news, he PROPOSED April 29! via skype lol...and if youre a military wife, you know thats just as good as him being down on one knee. So we got planning! Able to plan a whole wedding, get my dress, his tux and everything together in two months! Stressful! lol but so worth it! We got married on July 2, 2011. Amazing wedding, small but fun! A married the man I always dreamed of! And its so weird cause as a child, I always wanted to marry a military man. I felt that God had given me a heart strong enough to do it! Strong enough to be apart when needed and strong enough to be faithful. He left back to Korea on July 19. Another hard goodbye, but knowing we only had just a little over 3 months this time, it wasnt as hard. but I still cried! of course! lol. He's been back in Korea since then. We got orders to be stationed in Florida. Days past, weeks, now months! Ive been living here in Florida since October 7. Needless to say, I know no one. lol. It gets boring but learning this town is pretty fun. Living right on the beach is a nice touch as well :) He comes home Nov. 4 and it cant come fast enough! 19 days! To anyone reading this, who thinks long distance doesnt work, or that they cant do it. You Can! Trust me! Its not easy, but anything worth anything never came easy! So be strong, be faithful, and keep believing! Hope you keep reading with me, joining me along with my new journey :)
