Rain, Rain, Go Away..

Whenever I wake up in the morning and look outside, I expect it to be nice and sunny..but instead I wake up to a gloomy, rainy day. What a nice way to start my day right? If there is one thing I can say I really hate, it would be the rain. I know we need rain but do we need THIS much of it? Being from California, I usually see rain five days out of the year! What can you possibly like about rain messing up your hair, causing accidents, flooding...oh my list could go on and on! I just can't wait for summer...the beach, tanning, swimming, flip-flops, bikinis, shorts, and sunglasses. I am def counting the days till we make it down to Myrtle Beach, then my rants about the rain will stop, I promise!

Anyways, my hubby and I went and looked at houses yesterday! It was so fun to finally have him home, but I felt guilty about making him drive around all day on his second day off in two weeks! We actually only got to look at the inside of one home because we were stood up by TWO realtors. The one home we did get to look at though was awesome! It is perfect for us and we'll actually be saving three whole dollars on rent!! If we do not find any others we absolutely love it looks like this will be the one. It has a huge backyard for Cali Jean to run around in, a fire place, garden, and a garage for the hubby! Now to start filling out the application...

Making a house a home..

I have spent hour after hour scrolling through pages of houses online, and not only that, the hubby and I spent a whole day driving around town in search of for rent signs. After all of our searching we have seven potential houses! Four of which we are going to look at with a realtor tomorrow! I cannot wait to get a house, not only because we need more space, but so our doggy Cali can have a yard to run in! I dread having to put her in her cage when I leave for school, I want her to be able to roam free and be a dog. It will also give my hubby and I a chance to make something our home. Before he got back from deployment I had to move us into our apartment all by myself, and since we'll be moving into our new house together I'm hoping it'll feel a lot more like home! I cannot wait to plant a garden,have house parties, and run around out back with Cali. It all sounds too perfect!

I am also praying for a safe return to all the soldiers deploying to Haiti, many of whom are close friends of ours. I hope the loved ones they left behind are able to stay strong, and realize it is all for a good cause. The situation in Haiti has made me realize that my husband's job is more than just being an MP. He could deploy on a moments notice when devastating situations like Haiti occur. I'll admit when I first heard my husband had volunteered to go to Haiti I was very upset. I didn't understand how he could so quickly volunteer to leave me and go to another country for three to six months. I had to take a step back and realize that this is his job, and he wouldn't be doing it right if he didn't volunteer in times like this. His volunteering just adds to the list of reasons why I am so proud he is my husband.

With the rush of the new year, and starting a new semester of school, I've put blogging on the back burner. But now that things have calmed down, I am back! I found this questionarre on my friend Katie's blog and figured it would be a nice start, and also allow my followers to get to know me a little better.


1. If you were stranded on a desert island and could pick one person to be stranded with you would you pick? Family members not included.

I would have to take my hubby, I don't want to go another day without him! Plus I know he can rough it better than I can so he's an asset I definitly could not pass up!

2. Do you read celebrity gossip?

I'm not into the celebrity gossip magazines, but I will watch E! News here and there

3. Favorite show you're waching this season?
As lame as it sounds, I am addicted to Jersey Shore..I can't get enough of the fist pump

4. How tall are you?

Five foot three...maybe taller?

5. What was the last book you read?

I honestly don't remember..but I am currently reading the novel The Help..amazing book.
6. Flats or heels?

Heels...flats give me blisters
7. If you had to choose one natural disaser to go through, what would you choose..Earthquake, Tornado, or Hurricane?

Well, being from southern Cali we experience earthquaks constantly..so I'd have to choose Earthquake..

8. Thong, panties, or (gasp) granny panties?

Thongs, or boyshorts:)


Besides being a 5'3, Jersey Shore loving, thong wearer...I am an 18 year old Army Wife. I married my husband September 16th,2009. We are high school sweethearts, and have been together for four years. He is truely the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I could not picture my life without him. We have overcome many obstacles together, which has mad us so much stronger in the end. I'm a Cali girl but the Army has taken us to the East Coast. I love it here..and am currently attending UNCP as a nursing major. I love children and my goal is to be a RN in a pediatrics hospital. Each day is a learning experience, not only with being newlyweds, but learning the life of the army wife. I look forward to all that 2010 has in store for us, and I cannot wait to share the ups and downs with the blogging world!

Bring It On Home To Me

My husband, Robert, and I met the end of my Freshman year of high school. It was a tricky situation because his best friend and I had just recently broken up. One day, I was at my best friend Haley's house, and my ex-boyfriend and Robert rode up on ATV's with no shirts on. Lets just say it was love at first sight. We secretly exchanged numbers and emails and talked for days. Finally, Robert asked me to be his girlfriend! A few days later we went on our first "date". Now, we live in a small, country town, and teenagers can always be found swimming at The Wall or The Pipe. So what do you know, we ended up swimming in canals on our first date. On our way home, we were packed in a tiny truck, driving down back roads, listening to country music and singing at the top of our lungs. Then Bring it On Home by Little Big Town started playing. We both knew all the words, and looked at each other with the "this is our song" look. From that day on Bring it on Home has been "our song", and has connected us to our past,present, and future every time we hear it on the radio.
