It has been a while.....

I dont know why I cant remember to update this thing. 


The kids and I came back from Ky early since Neil was able to take leave earlier then we thought. He decided that he wanted to surprise us and didnt inform us that he was coming in earlier then planned. It was a nice surprise but it did cut our trip short by a few weeks. But I did get to do the main thing I went in for and that was Courtneys graduation. 


Neil, the kids and I went to Orlando this weekend. We had a real good time and just enjoyed ourselves. We didnt have any set plans which was nice. I did get to go to the Vera Bradley outlet store which was awesome. I LOVE her purses. We also drove past the courthouse where the Casey Anthony trial is going on. There were a ton of news people parked around the courthouse. If she truly did it I hope that she doesnt get off. Then we drove to Daytona and went to the beach for a little while. Then we found our newest member of our family. As soon as I saw them I had to have one. They were so small and cute. So we decided to get one and make it a member of our family. So here she is Miss Trixie....

And what is so funny is that Neil has already fell in love with her. He may act all big and stuff but he is a real softy. Not long after Neil and I got married we got a guinea pig. I wanted one after I had watched the movie Dr Doolittle. I do believe that Chris Rock voiced that one. Anyways we had him for awhile but one day after we had moved to Utah we had been out and came back in and we found him laying on the floor passed away. I was sad to see that he had died but when I looked over at Neil he was actually crying. He might would never admit it but I thought that it was sweet that even though Roks was mine he cried over him. It also broke his heart that we had to put him in the dumpster because there was no where to take him to bury him. But anyways there she is and  we all love her already. 

Haylee turned 3 last month. It is hard for me to believe it but she is 3. We had 2 parties for her while we were at home. One with Neils family and then Mom and I took her and celebrated at Gattis. If you arent sure what this place is it is somewhat like Chuck E Cheese. When we took Chris for his bday she said that she wanted to go for hers. Well, we werent around where a Chuck E Cheese was so this was the next best thing. 

Chris starts school the 5th of Aug. We got an invite for open house at his school so we can meet his teacher. He is really looking forward to it. Not sure yet if he will ride the bus or not. I am not crazy about him being on a bus but I know that he wants to ride it. 

Well, I will end this for now. I am gonna try my best to update this more then I do.

Much love to you all!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO

Home!!!!

The kids and I are in Ky and have been for about a week now. My Mom had came and visited us down in Ga and while there I decided I wanted to come home for a little while. My main reason was my oldest niece Court is graduating from high school and I wanted to be there but the only way was to come in earlier then we had planned. Neil couldnt get the leave for when I needed to be here. So the kids and I came back with Mom and Neil will be joining us later. 


Neil, has been killing himself getting ready for his PT test this morning. They actually rescheduled it on him once because he had to run on the inside track due to his asthma. So he went and tried running on the outside track just to see if he could do it and he could so he rescheduled with the outside track. His goal was to get a 90% so he doesnt have to take it again for another year. That would be good because he drives me crazy when he is getting ready for this test....lol But anyways he took it at 5:00 this morning and he let me know that he passed with a 90%. I am so PROUD of him and all his hard work paid off. Although I think he was about to die running outside....lol But at least that is over and he can come in and enjoy himself. And enjoy some good ol southern food. 


May drive over to the lake today and use my new camera. Get a loaf of bread and feed the duckies. Until next time. 


Much love to you all..........XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Trying something different.....

I am using my cell to type this. I have moved up in the world and now have a smartphone. You can do so much on this thing it is so cool. I only pay 25 a month for service and I get unlimited internet and text and 300 mins which is more then enough. but anyways I wanted to try it this way. 

Took the kids to a Easter egg hunt that one of the kids that Chris goes to school with was having. The kids had so much fun. Hay wasnt sure what to do so I had to help her a little. Chris found 30 eggs which was real good. We are going to church tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it.

I go Monday to have 2 teeth removed. I am so not looking forward to that. Mom is going with me and Neil is taking Chris to school. If I keep going I wont have any teeth left...lol 

Well, that is it for now. Gotta get some sleep. Much love to you all.XOXOXO

Mother/Daughter Trip 2011

Mom the kids and I are in Orlando for a 4 day weekend. We came down today and went to the Outlet Mall and did a little exploring. We are going to the Holyland Experience tomorrow and spend the day. We are really looking forward to going and seeing this wonderful place. We have heard and read good reviews on it. We had dinner at Golden Corral and then went and walked around the area where our hotel is. I really miss Neil but he gets some time to himself to enjoy. More to come tomorrow.

My.....

Momma is on her way. I hope and pray she has safe travels. I really need her company to keep me busy. Ever since Crystal and Ashley left I have no one to hang out with. Neil is so involved with going to the gym to make sure he passes his PT test he has no time for anything else. I have never seen someone so dedicated. If I could be more like him I would def not gain any of the weight back that I lost. I am doing good about keeping it off. I am down 6 sizes and of course none of my clothes fit anymore. I am to afraid to buy any new clothes afraid to jinx myself....lol


Chris, is at school and I have to go get him here in a little bit. He was a little sad when I told him that Mamaw wouldnt be here when he got home that it would be later tonight. I might let him stay up so he can see her when she gets here as long as it isnt to late. I have to make a run to the BX and pick up a few things. Debating on going before I go pick him up or after. I will probably just wait until after. I would get the stuff at the commissary but it isnt open on Mondays. I wish that it was closed on Sundays instead.


Well, gonna go. Gotta get cleaned up and get ready to go get Bub. I have been working getting this house cleaned. The kids have been helping me since I have been having alot of back pain. They are so sweet wanting to help Mommy. Gotta love them.


Until next time.... Much love to you all....XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

So excited!!!

My momma is coming down tomorrow and we are so excited to see her. Then her the kids and me are going to Orlando nest weekend to the Holy Land Experience. I am so looking forward to that. I will have to take Chris out of school but the school year is almost over. The kids are so excited and have counted down the days until she gets here.


I started seeing my Therapist this past week. And I have to say she is AWESOME!!!! If you are wondering why I am seeing one.. Well no it isnt because I have went crazy. Just like I told Neil just because a person sees a therapist doesnt mean you are nuts. I see her because my doctor wanted me to for my anxiety. I had a bad first of the year last year with the miscarriage. And I think that is what led up to the anxiety or triggered it. When I had the first miscarriage I went into a depression. I locked myself up in our room and that was were I stayed. I hated going out because of course being on a military base there were pregnant women everywhere. And I am not exaggerating. I would get so down that I just wanted to go home. I couldnt understand why it was so easy for some to get pregnant and so hard for me. I had never felt so alone in my life. Neil wasnt there for me because he couldnt understand what I was going through. And my family was back in the states. I had no friends in Germany at that time because we hadnt been there that long. And then I felt the same way this time. The only thing that helped was Chris and Haylee. But even then there were nights I would just sit and cry. I couldnt understand why yet again this was happening. And yes my family was there for me but there is only so much they can do when they are in another state. I remember watching the episode of Army Wives where one of the characters goes through a miscarriage and how her friends came together and supported her and was there for her. That is the way it is suppose to be. But I have never had close friends since Neil joined. Some I thought were but later found out they werent. I do feel I have found a friend who I can count on. And I will be glad when she gets back here. We are planning a trip to Disney with her and her family later this year. So that gives me something to look forward to. Because you all know how much I LOVE Disney....lol But anyways I think that is what brought on the anxiety or triggered it. 


Sorry it just seems since all this has happened I have figured out who some people really are. And if I wasnt so nice and polite I might would tell them a ear full......lol I have learned it isnt good to keep everything inside. But if I let some things out some people wouldnt like it. Oh wow there I go again going to get off my soapbox now.....LOL


Ok so lets see...... Chris goes back to school tomorrow he has been on Spring Break this week. I will miss not having him at home. And I am sure Hay will be lonely again. He is so smart and silly. He can say some of the funniest things. He is learning to write and read and stuff. He doesnt want to grip a pencil. I am not sure if he is afraid he will break it or what. He has no problems holding on to other things. He is getting better at it though. 


Hay is doing great. She talks up a storm and half the time I am not sure what she is talking about. She is potty training and doing good. I am not rushing her just letting her go at her own pace. I have her stocked up on pullups for awhile so it is nice not having to buy them at all. I am hoping to have her fully trained by the time I would need to buy some. I dont buy into the whole having them trained by 2. Not every child is the same so when one might be trained by that age another might not. I learned that with Chris. 


Neil, is the same ole same ole working his butt off. He will be glad when the guys that just got back come back to work. They are kinda short handed and it makes it hard on him. Plus he is in a new shop so he is trying to learn the job. But he is getting there and it doesnt take him long to learn. 


As for me I am going this week to get registered for school. I have put it off long enough but not because I wanted to. I am not sure when the next semester starts. I am gonna take night classes so Neil can keep the kids. I want to get my nursing degree before Neil retires....lol Hard to believe he only has 8 more years. I think he said the other day it was under 3000 days. I still do my coupons and have my stockpile built up. I am up to saving over 100.00 on my grocery bill now. 


I think that about covers it. Just really looking forward to seeing my Momma. I havent seen her in almost a year. I have been sick she has been sick so it has been hard for us to get to see each other. But I will go for now. I will try and update this thing more. I just cant never remember to get on here unless I get something on my mind. 


So until next time....... Much love to you all.....XOXOXOXOXOXO
