Shaun got home in April yes, yes I know its May 3^rd sorry I haven’t written in a while.  I’m so glad that Shaun is finally home but like always there is an adjustment period.  You get so used to doing things by yourself and on your own.  Just as soon as he gets home though we are now planning for his next deployment which is at the beginning of summer so, basically SOON!  I am not ready for him to leave again and this time it is for 6 months.  Some exciting news though is I am graduating May 18^th with my associates degree! It has been a long time coming.  I’ll be transferring to Cal State San Marcos in the fall.  I finally feel like I am moving forward.  I have been in school for four years so it is about time to feel like I’m going somewhere. Now of course I need to give you all an update on Bentley, and of course it has to do with him eating something (what else is new).  We have been letting Bentley have a towel to lie on while in his kennel.  He ended up chewing a piece of the towel off, the chunk of the towel that he chewed off was the size of a wash cloth but luckily two days later it came out in throw up! So once again Bentley has eaten something and passed it that would normally kill a dog lol.

Well once again it has been some time since I last blog let’s see where to start.. Shaun will be coming home soon. We finally got the block time for when we should be expecting them it was killer waiting for that now that I have a date I feel like there is finally a light at the end of this tunnel.  Bentley has been interesting lately about a week ago or so I was sitting on the couch and I started to think where is Bentley? So I went out back and yelled for him and here he comes running in covered in mud from head to toe.  He has white on his chest and on his feet well after being in the mud he was no longer brindle he was a chocolate lab! So naturally I yell at him telling him to get back outside.  If you know Bentley you know that he hates water so I was wondering how am I going to clean him before bed. So I went next door and had to borrow doggy shampoo, then I had to lift his 90lb butt into the tub and lifting a 90lb dog that is afraid of water is a lot harder than it sounds lol.  I had to strip down into my undies and bra and get in the tub with him to give him a bath it was quite the experience! So after that I looked around my house and the carpet was muddy the tub was muddy the walls in the bathroom were muddy, so after giving Bentley a bath I had to give my house a bath lol.

Another thing that has happened since I last blogged is that I weed whacked my back yard! We have like two patches that grow so it’s not enough to run a lawn mower and the last time the grass got so tall Shaun was home to weed whack it; well this time I did it all by myself and no one taught me how to use the weed whacker or anything!!! I have been so proud of myself for all the things I have been doing around the house. Well I guess that’s about it for today.

Blessed

Early this morning I finally got that call from Shaun I was waiting on it was so good to hear his voice and I talked his ear off for 25 mins.  I wish he was home already so I could just come home from work and tell him all about my day.  I have found comfort in my friends though it’s so nice to just pick of the phone and invite them over for frozen pizza and TV time.  Me and a couple of my friends have started doing dinner every Sunday night, we cook and watch TV and just enjoy the time with each other.  Being a military wife we are so often pulled away from our family and stationed at some base where we don’t know anyone, so when we find those few friends where we feel like we can be our selves we look at them like family.  I often wonder what I would do without the friends I have met since I moved here. I am truly blessed.

missing my hubby

I am still waiting to hear from Shaun, I haven’t heard from him in like a week I know that’s not that long but still.  The worst part of not being able to talk to him is not being able to tell him about my day.  When we first started dating we were on our way to see a movie and I was just talking and talking and then I stopped and realized I had talked the entire 15 min drive to the movies and I looked at him and I said I talk a lot huh? And he said yeah but I like it and ever since then he has always been the best and just letting me talk about my day about what I did at school or what I did at work and when he’s not home I miss that time we have.  My dad always gets on my case about how I never let Shaun get a word in but I swear Shaun loves when I talk his ear off!! Lol  I guess that’s really what has been bothering me today that all I want to do is talk to my husband.

well it has been three months since the last one sorry!!

Well once again I have gone a while without blogging.  Where to start where to start?? We have been living in our home for about 3 months I have unpacked most of our stuff and have been doing lots of decorating.  We just recently got kitchen chairs after using camping chairs for three months it was about time lol thank goodness for ikea!  Bentley got attacked by a dog a week ago at the dog park thank goodness he didn’t need to get stitches but he was on antibiotics for a week and I had to clean the bite marks 2-3 times a day but he is doing much better.  Shaun is currently on a training exercise this is the first time we had been living together before him leaving so this time with him being gone is a lot different than when he went to afghan, I can’t wait till he’s home.  Yesterday Bentley saw a guy in cami’s walking down our street and he thought it was Shaun he started crying and shaking it was sad so naturally I cried my eyes out.  I just can’t wait till Shaun is home I decided that I am going to film Bentley’s reaction to Shaun because I know it’s going to be great! Well I guess that’s enough catch up I will be better about blogging I swear!! Have a good one all!!!

All moved in and ready to begin :)

Well it’s been a while since I have blogged and here is what has been going on lol.  We moved into our house just over a week ago wawhoo!! We are now living on base which I am so excited about.  It has two bedrooms and a back yard (Bentley loves the back yard).  We moved in the week I had finals at school so I am now just unpacking boxes. We just got couches we only went about 5 days without them needless to say I was pretty excited about getting them. The TV, Shaun’s pride and joy is all set up and connected to cable woot woot.  We are looking forward to beginning our life in our own home. I am just so excited well I guess that’s about it for right now.

Short but sweet ..

So Shaun and I will be moving into a house on base here in a couple of weeks so I’m super excited about that.  So in hopes that a new house would bring us other exciting stuff I just got a call for a job interview that I so desperately want (and need).  The month of December will be quite an adventure for me and Shaun and I’m just soo excited for it.
