Whats For Dinner??

So I know I'm not the only military wife that doesn't eat the greatest when their husband is not home... and by not eating the greatest, I mean, well lets just say my meals aren't balanced..

When Shaun was deployed I would eat cereal, sandwiches, soup, frozen meals, umm I guess that's about it. So when ever he tells me he is going to be in the field or it is going to be a late night I just figure I'll eat cereal or a sandwich or something no big deal. 

And here is where I'm going with this..
Yesterday Shaun told me "tomorrow is going to be a late night" so I checked the pantry, saw I had soup and thought to my self, ok dinner for tomorrow is on.

well tomorrow is today and at about 6 pm tonight I'm sitting on the couch ignoring the fact that most of the dishes are dirty piled in the sink, I'm catching up on my trash tv, and I hear the garage door open.. hmmm.. I look at the clock and see that it's not to late.. weird I wonder who is here??

Heyy baby!! YUP Shaun came home earlier than he thought and the first words out of his mouth were "what's for dinner?" I looked at him with two thoughts in my head.. 1) there is only one can of soup and 2) I hope he doesn't look at the sink.  I told him.. umm.. I don't really have dinner plans, I wasn't going to eat, you said you were coming home late..  When your marine comes home from work he comes home with a hunger of 500 men I SWEAR!! so I felt bad, so I told him there were left overs in the fridge :) I am such a great wife! lol.. Oh well..

I know I am not the only military wife out there who eats the way I do when the husband is not home.. how do I know this you ask? well most of my friends that I have met through out this crazy military life think that Oreos are a perfect appetizer to a wonderful dinner of a whole bag of unwashed grapes.  Yup if you're a military wife I'm pretty sure you've been there lol

So to anyone who reads this that knows a military wife please feed her, she's hungry and I can tell you the lucheable that she's eating doesn't actually taste that good.


PS: Thank you to my wonderful neighbors Ashlyn and Ryan in California that fed me almost everyday while Shaun was deployed

I really need to blog more often!

Well, it has been a long time since the last I blogged.. like 2 years!! YIKES! So I guess I will tell you a little of what has been going on..

We left Camp Pendleton July 2013 and started our journey across the country. Shaun got stationed at Camp Lejeune and we are approaching a year mark, honestly I can't believe we have been here for almost a year.  We bought a house out here in North Carolina and are learning what being a home owner is all about, how can I put this.. BEING A GROWN UP SUCKS! not really, but it kind of does.  I am a full time student out here and I am really rocking at school, like I have a 4.0 gpa!! I'm sure a lot of you are wondering how Bentley is doing and surprisingly he's doing pretty good besides being allergic to everything in our back yard causing vet visits and vet bills to go up but I guess that's nothing new.  Bentley just had his 4th birthday so I am now a mom of a 4 year old dog, he is no longer my little puppy :(

So why did I decide to start blogging again??? Well...
This last December I had actually made a New Years resolution to blog more.. obviously that didn't go as planned so I am hoping I can keep up with it and be able to tell you the story about our life as it's happening.

That's all I have for today I figured I'd keep it short and sweet and ease you guys back into our lives :)
