Thanks & Me

 Hi to all the new followers from FF! Thanks for the comments! :) Sorry if I haven't replied or commented on your blog yet.. I've been super busy this weekend, but I'm trying to get back to each one of you as soon as I can. In all honesty I wasn't expecting to receive so many comments and new followers after linking up with Friday Follow.. It's been fun though! :) & I want you to know that I really appreciate every single comment!!


Since some of you are new I thought I would tell you who I am and all that fun stuff! So, here we go..

My name is K. I was born & raised in here the South, but the only time you will hear my Southern accent is if I'm mad. Well, that's what my husband says anyway! Ha. My husband, J, is a Seabee in the United States Navy.. hence, my blog title! :) I created this blog last March when we suppose to PCS (aka, move) to California. It started as a fun and easy way to keep our families &friends updated on our big move, but it quickly became a place for me to vent my fears/frustrations when things changed at the last minute.. Instead of moving to CA we had to stay here in XX, and then J had to go on his 4th deployment (our 3rd together). This deployment hasn't been easy, but by the grace of God it is only making us + our love stronger! J will be home very VERY soon (THANK GOD!!), and then we will be PCSing to XX. {For safety reasons I'm not allowed to discuss homecoming dates, and right now I don't feel comfortable sharing where we will be PCSing to.. so please don't ask.} We're so excited that deployment is almost over, and we're looking forward to the new adventures that will come with moving to XX. I hope you will follow along with us on this crazy military journey! :)

Yesterday J (my husband) called and we were able to talk for 2 hours!! That may seem like no big deal to most people, but that is the longest we've been able to talk for 7 months! (Normally he is only allowed to use the phone for 15 minutes.) It made my whole day month! I still feel like I'm on cloud nine! Funny how a simple phone call can do that to ya. :) 

Wishful Wed

Every Wednesday Kelsey @  The Seattle Smith's does this fun thing called Wishful Wednesday.. & Today I decide to join in on the fun!  

'I wish' .... I could have gone to the 2010 Winter Olympics to see one event, and it would have been _________!

Team USA hockey! 

I ♥ ♥ ♥ hockey! It's the only sport I can watch & not lose any interest. 


My second choice would have to be short track speed skating. 

I'm a big fan of Apolo Ohno and Allison Baver.

I'm bummed.. The dress I was going to buy for my dad's wedding is no longer available in my size!! Ugh, don't you hate when that happens?? I'm kicking myself for procrastinating & not buying it sooner! I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I will be able to find something out in town/at the mall.

Well, it took us a month but we FINALLY got in touch with the housing office in ______! *big sigh of relief* I have been so so SO stressed about finding a place to live. Since we are moving in the summer I have been worried housing wouldn't have any openings because it seems like everyone & their momma usually PCS during the summer months. Housing has reassured me that they will not allow us to live on the streets or in our cars so that makes me feel better I guess. Ha.

Max had his first heartworm treatment last week. He did great and still doesn't act like he is sick. I'm suppose to keep him calm and quiet while he is going through the treaments (or he will get sick).. which means he shouldn't bark or run around.. for 3 months.. Let me tell you, it hasn't been easy! Max is a very hyper active pup, and one of his favorite things to do is play fetch/chase a ball around. Yesterday he found one of his favorite balls (that I thought I had hidden) and he was being too active so I had to take it away.. I felt horrible!! I gave him a bunch of his favorite treats though and I think that made up for it. :)

It's March, and that means..

I can officially say my husband will be home next month!! Ahhhhh, I'm soo excited!!! :)
