Baby Boom!!

So I Think The Baby Boom Is Happening In My Family! 5 Beautiful Babies Have Been Born Into Our Family! 2 Of Which Are My Sister In Laws! Both Beautiful Baby Girls! Vivian Lauren And Nina Sofia! Then 3 Of My Cousins Had Their Babies...All But One Was A Girl! Happy To Report They Are All Well And Happy!! Nothing To Report On Mine And The Hubbies Baby Front. Hopefully Soon! Conceiving Is Harder Than Most People Make It Sound! LOL! While We Wait I Am Getting Into A Healthier Routine! Better Eating Choices For One And Exercise...A Lot More Exercise! LOL! I Feel A Lot Better During The Day After I Workout And Get Better Sleep At Night! Praying That Also Helps In The Baby Department. My OBGYN Has Started Me On A Prenatal Regiment! So We Shall See What Happens...But As Of Now Like I Said I Am Working On A Healthier Me! We Have Been Walking The Dogs Every Night After Dinner And I Must Say It's Nice To Get Out And Get Fresh Air! Our Fur Kids Are Loving It Too!!

We Have Been Going To The Sunset Market They Put On Every Thursday By Where We Live And It Is Nice! We Found This Awesome Vendor Who Hand Makes Dogs Treats With Peanut Butter And Something Called Carob! They Look Like Chocolate Chip Cookies For Dogs! Kalli And Nico LOVE Them! So Yesterday When We Went To The Market I Asked Her To Make A Dozen For Me! They Are In The Shape Of Bones And They Are Pretty Large! I Am Sure The Pups Will Enjoy Them! So On A Different Note...

Ever Since We Moved Into A Bigger House...We Had This Empty Room And Nothing To Put In It. Well I Started To Think...Yes Nothing Comes Cheap When I Start Thinking...LOL! Light Bulb! I Have All This Makeup And No Room To Store It! Well Gee...Why Not Turn This Room Into My Own Makeup Studio! After All The Hubby Has His Man Cave With A Brand New TV! So I Dragged Him Down To IKEA! I Got 2 Large Pieces Of Furniture For $200! I Think That Was A Pretty Good Deal! I Will Have To Post Pictures Of My Makeup Haven Later! I Have The Best Hubby In The World...For Many Reasons...BUT He Bought Me A Vanity Girl Hollywood Mirror! AWESOME!
I AM IN LOVE!

My Woman Cave It Almost Finished! Back To The Sunset Market We Go To On Thursdays...I Found This Awesome Booth...She Makes Custom Paintings...And She Made A Marilyn Monroe One For My Room! Like I Said I Will Have To Post Pictures Once I Get Some! Now I Am Excited For This Weekend...We Get To Go See Lady Antebellum In Concert With Some Of Our Good Friends On Saturday And Sunday Is My Nephew's 4th Birthday! I Cannot Believe How Big He Is Getting So Quick! He Is Turning Out To Be An Awesome Little Dude!! 

Well That's All For Me! Time To Go Get Ready! The Hubby Wants To Go See The Hunger Games Tonight! I Hope It Is As Good As Everyone Says!

Finally!! My Heart Is Whole Again!

Finally!! It's almost been a month since my hubby came home from deployment! This was his fourth tour. My second one with him and our first one as a married couple! He got to come home with Advanced Party...the same way he left. Which hardly ever happens...LOL! I am so happy to have him back home! It was strange at first to have another person living with me. I guess I was still on survival  mode! In shock...But SOOOO Happy!!!! Plus I'm still getting used to him being a SSgt! He got promoted in November and I am so proud of him! Until now I'm still a bit in shock to have my hubby back! I worried about him everyday for 7 months and now that he is home...Well I couldn't be any happier!! We have decided to start trying to conceive! I am very excited to start a family...Praying that it's soon!! 

                                       (He got to come home in Civilian Clothes...Finally Back In His Arms!)
I want to Thank all my wonderful family for helping me through this deployment. I have made a lot of awesome friends...and the Family Readiness Program is GREAT!  These ladies have helped me get through this deployment and I am very grateful to have friends like them! So Thank You To All The Wonderful Ladies Who Have Been There For Me! And To My Fellow Unit Wives! We Made It Ladies!

Almost There! I Am Very Excited/Anxious

Wow! It's Been Almost 2 Months Since I Have Written!! I Have Been Busy With Work And Moving! I Moved Into SNCO Housing...Which I Am Very Happy About! There Was Nothing Wrong About Where I Was Living Before! That Was Our First On Base House! As Far As It Goes I Like Living On Base! That Was My First Time Moving On My Own Without My Husband! I Can't Wait To Show Him The New House! I Already Showed It To Him A Little Bit Through Skype And He Like It A Lot! It's Very Nice To Have That Extra Space! The Dogs Are Loving The Bigger Yard As Well!!!! I Live A Block Down From One Of My Friends! Her Hubby Is In The Same As Mine! I Am Super Excited/Anxious! The Hubby Comes Home Very Soon!!!! It Seems Like Only Yesterday That We Had The Send Off For The Battery!! I Am Ready To Just Have Each Other In Our Arms Again! After So Long It's Going To Be Strange...But A Good Strange To Have Him Back Home Safe! I Am A Little Nervous About The Whole Reintegration Process...But It's Going To Be So Good To Have My Husband Back!! I Miss Him TONS!! I Have Learned A Lot About Myself Through This Deployment. I Never Thought I Would Be Able To Do Things On My Own For So Long! Especially With The Dogs! We Have Two Saint Bernards And They Are Driving Me Crazy! Since January Started This Week Went By Slow For Me! I Suppose Because I'm So Excited/Anxious About Homecoming! My Insomnia Has Been Running On Full Speed!!!! I Don't Believe It Will Slow Down Until The Hubby And I Are Back In Each Other's Arms Safely! We Bought A New Bedroom Set And I Am Not Sleeping On It Until The Hubby And I Do It Together! I Know That Might Sound A Little Strange...But That's Me! I Have Been Trying To Keep Myself Occupied With Getting The House Ready And Thinking About What I Am Going To Wear For Homecoming! To Me This Whole Week Has Been Worse Than This Whole Deployment When It Comes To Anxiety! What Can I Say?! I Am Very Excited! So Come On Time Go By A Little Faster!! I Have To Admit This Deployment Did Fly By Now That I Look Back On It! I Am So Thankful And Blessed To Have Such Wonderful Family And Friends! They Have All Helped Me Through This Deployment! I Have Gotten Really Close With Some Of The Other Wives In The Unit! I Never Thought I Could Find Such A Great Group Of Women! We Had A Lot Of Events And I Really Enjoyed Going To Them! So I Want To Thank Everyone Who Has Been There For Me! I Will Post Pics Of The Homecoming Once I Get Them! I Am Excited To Share Them With You All!! Well That's All For Me For Now! Time To Get Back To Work!
