Maybe I'm just easily amused but I think this is hilarious!

Friend Makin' Monday

It's been a while since I've participated in FMM so I thought I would join in on the fun today and try my best to do it every Monday once again.

1. Favorite websites? (In)Courage , Blissfully Domestic, and Wives of Faith

2. Favorite colors? chocolate brown & aqua blue

3. Facebook? For security reasons I will not be sharing it. Sorry!

4. Favorite Christmas songs? Ohh, this is a tough one because I love soo many! I narrowed it down to three though..

Judy Garland's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by U2

and "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day" by Casting Crowns

5. Christmas tree: Real or fake? Well, I currently have a fake tree but I prefer real ones. Growing up my parents would always take me to a tree farm the day after Thanksgiving so that I could choose a tree.. it was our tradition (until they divorced) and I loved it! {To this day the smell of peppermint reminds me of that farm because the office always smelled like peppermints.} I can't wait for Jeremy and I to have babies so I can continue that tradition with them.

6. Hottest celebrity? I'm torn between two--Gilles Marini and Gerard Butler!

7. Favorite restaurant? Chili's. They make the best southwestern eggrolls! And don't get me started on their molten chocolate cake... OMG.. mmmm!!

8. Favorite magazine? Woman's Day

9. Favorite thing to drink around the holidays? Hot chocolate

10. Favorite Christmas movies? The Holiday, Christmas Vacation, and Elf

My Little Monster

His favorite color has been yellow since he was three years old. He is a pro at playing the air guitar, and he dreams of being a rock star when he grows up. He would also like to be a solider so he can save the world from the bad guys. {He once told his aunt not to cry when he becomes a soldier because he promises to come back safely to her after he kicks the bad guy's butts.} He loves to watch cartoons and sci-fi movies. Macaroni & cheese is his favorite meal. He loves animals and making new friends. His face lights up when he learns something new. He likes to pick on his sisters but will beat up anyone else that does it. His favorite day of the week is Friday because that means he gets to see his favorite aunt. He is my whole world, and today he turns seven!!

Happy Birthday My Little Monster!

Aunt Ree-Ree loves you!

New Moon

I think I may have fractured a bone in my right foot on Thursday night. =\

{It's embarrassing how it happened!}

I tripped over my laptop power cord. (Have I ever mentioned I'm way too clumsy?) I fell face first on the floor and somehow managed to mess my foot up. My neighbors probably thought I was being murdered because I was crying & screaming so loud! It was verrrry painful...

but...

Being the obsessed devoted Twilight fan that I am, I went to the midnight showing of New Moon instead of going to the ER to make sure I didn't actually break anything! Just for the record though, I bought my tickets in advance and it was nonrefundable so I had to go--even if I was in tons of pain. ;)

I still can't believe I waited 3.5 hours in a theater just to see a movie.. but I did with a swollen and throbbing foot.. and it was soooo worth it!!

And.. okay.. I admit I felt like a dirty old woman for drooling over Jacob! But honestly, can ya blame me???

Thank you to all the brave men and women {past and present} who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom.

Three months ago today we kissed and said "see ya later.."

Three months from now we will kiss..

hug..

laugh..

kiss some more.. {hehehe}

and cry tears of joy because he will finally be home!

I can't wait for that day!

..but of course I will :)

Because he is soooo worth it!!

WE'RE HALF WAY THERE!

LOVE YOU BABE!!

Fort Hood Shooting

I was glued to my TV all afternoon. I can't even begin to explain how sick I felt as I heard the reports of what was happening at Fort Hood.. especially when I found out that it was caused by one of our own soldiers...

Suddenly I didn't feel so safe living in a military community...

. . .

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families & friends that lost a loved one at Fort Hood today.
