Keeping busy

Hello all! Well, as July comes to an end, it took Travis' with it. Yep he is gone and will be gone for around a month or so. It is the Marine Corps after all and you never really know when they will return. He is so excited about this AT, he is going to Africa! Which, come on, sounds pretty awesome, even if I do say so my self. Please be praying for him and the rest of the guys that are with him, what they are doing is going to require alot of prayers! At least I think it does, but what job in the Marine Corps doesn't!

As for me (and dewy), we are already back in the routine of being by ourselves and keepng busy. I have an entire list of things that I want to get done before he gets home. And I have already started! Let me tell you, I am making myself busy! I miss him like crazy already, but I am so excited about painting! Which is top priority on my list of things to do! Of course I would take pictures and post them, but Travis' took the camera with him! I really think that its time to invest in another one. So that he can take one with him and I can have one here. So there won't be any pictures to be posted until he gets back, but when he does there will probably be a ton! Cause of you know my husband he will take hundreds of pictures!

I think that everyone that knows me, has heard that when the guys leave something is going to break. Well, it has already struck, kind of that is. The night before he left I walked into the kitchen and turned on the light and the bulb is blown! These aren't just ordinary bulbs. They are the really long ones, and of course it is really really high so I can't even begin to fathom changing it. I am still waiting on the apartment guys to come fix it, but they are taking forever! I mean days to change a light bulb! Guess this is sign of things to come.

Like I said I miss my husband like crazy and I hate being by myself. But I am very very at ease with this. And I know that it is because we have both giving our worries to GOD and we are letting him take care of us!

A new month is upon us!

Can you believe it!? July is already here, and what is worse it is almost half over! I know seems crazy to think that we are on the down side if this year. Not to much more to go. Well, this month has proven to be as eventful as last month. Which mean that it isn't eventful at all! Well that will be changing soon. As Travis will be leaving soon, and I will be on my own! He won't be gone long, but still he is leaving! So I am trying to get in to deployment type mode. Were I take care of everything on my own. Which I am good at I think!

By the time he gets back summer will be so close to being over it excites me! Well, the hot weather will be almost over anyway! So the next few weeks are going to be busy with us both working and getting him packed and ready to leave! So keep us in your prayers as we will need patience! Hope you all are doing well!

A couple of changes....

Well in the last couple of days there have been a couple of changes here at our house. The first one should be pretty obvious! The background on the blog has changed! It isn't one of my favorite backgrounds I have ever had, but it will do! I changed it because the 4th of July is coming very soon. I really love the 4th. Saturday is the annual Town of Farragut Independence day parade. I know, I know that is the 3rd not the 4th, but they decided to have it then so that people could still go to church! Which I think is awesome, because we were having trouble trying to decide how we were going to be able to attend both the parade and church, and now we get to do both! Then Sunday of course we are going to my parents house for their annual cook out and fireworks!

Then there is the furniture in our living room. No, we didn't get new stuff. But I (with the help of my brother) moved it all around! Well just 2 pieces. But still it looks different in here. We did it while Travis was at work, and when he came home. He walks down the stairs and stops and says "what happened in here" I give him the obvious answer of "we moved the furniture" he looks at me says "I don't like it"!!!!!!!! Well that's my husband for you, very blunt! But the thing is, it's not that he doesn't like it, he just doesn't like change! And this is change. But he promised to give it a couple of days to grow on him before makes me put it back. And I now that it will grow on him. It already has. So I WIN!!!! I love it like this. I have my own chair that is now useful as reading chair by the window.

Well that's all for now. Don't count on many posts this week as I am working ALOT! But I have found time to go with a couple of friends and Travis to see the newest Twilight movie. I know I am a geek. Truth is I don't love the movies, but I loved the books. And as much as I said that I didn't want to pay to see this one. As soon as I saw the previews I knew I couldn't wait to see it on DVD. So Wednesday night I am going to go see it! I am so excited!!!!

HAPPY MONDAY!

Looking ahead!

Well, you could say that I am already really tired of it being so hot! I mean come on upper 90's in June. What is it going to be like come August!?? Don't get me wrong there are a ton more worse places we could be right now, like Florida with the oil spill. But I just don't handle the heat with any sort of grace! So needless to say I am ready for the fall already.

As I am looking forward to the Fall, I have also started thinking about the awesome things that happen during the fall. So here are the ones that reach my top list

1. Cooler weather! (bet you didn't see that coming) Cause let's face it everything is so much more enjoyable when you are comfortable outside. Walking the dog and picknicking being at the top of the list

2. And then Football season starts! I mean come on who doesn't like watching Tennessee play. It has to be the highlight of all football fans. We are hoping that we might be able to go to another game this year, but we will just have to wait and see how it plays out!

3. A change in wardrobe! I have to admit that this years summer wardrobe has gotten me a little bummed. I am super blessed to have a choice in cloths, I know that! But I think I have decided that I like my jeans, t-shirts (short and long sleeve) and my sweaters much more than I like shorts and tank tops!

4. It means the ball is coming up! I know this is a little far fetched, after all it is still several months from now. But what girl doesn't like to get all dolled up to match her dashingly handsome husband in uniform, and spend a wonderful evening with some of the best men in the World! See, it makes you excited just thinking about it! I already have a dressed picked out. I have had if for many years (between me and Brandi we have tons!) and decided that I just love it this year! Oh, I just can' wait!

5. Our weekend getaway is coming up! Going to the mountains is going to be wonderful in the Fall. Very colorful, and cool.

6. Well, I guess these are "winter" things, but let's face it the Holiday's are just right around the corner! Oh it excites me, I just love the Holidays

See I told you I just can't wait till the Fall!!! I guess until then though I am going to have to suck it up and enjoy the air conditioning! Hope you all stay cool during these hot hot months!

A month ago......

..... was my last post. Actually over a month ago was my last post. And well really nothing much has happened. Except I turned another year older. But not just not any year, the big 2-1! Yep, I am now officially 21 years old. I celebrated with my wonderful family. They are the best people EVER! They made my birthday super wonderful!

See I told you, nothing new to tell you. We have both been working alot. As you all know, that is the life of an un-retired adult. Travis' brother is getting married this weekend. We are really happy for them, we all went to high school together. But we are nervous/anxious about seeing his parents agian. No time for the entire story, most of you already know it. But let's just say it has been a long time since we have seen or talked to them! So it will be interesting.

Dewy of course is doing good. She hates the hot weather. After all she is black and the sun just burns her up. And I have to say that I agree with her! It is way to hot here in Tennessee. I am ready for fall! It can't come soon enough. But I have at least 2 more months of this. So we are going to make the most of it. Swimming ALOT, and what ever fun things we come up with. And then the summer will fly so we can get to our "vacation" ok well it's more like a weekend away, but I will take what I can get!

Well, I guess that fills you in on life. And that's it for now! Hope you all have a wonderful summer, and maybe you will here from me in less then a month!

I got a package!

I got a package all the way from Japan. I have to say not only are they pretty much the only packages I get, but they are defiantly my favorite piece of mail I get! This package had some amazing art work from one of my 2 favorite nephews! They are so pretty and hanging on my refrigerator right now. THANKS ZACHARY!! I also got some real yummy Japanese food! Well snack foods that it is. Thanks Brandi for sending us the goodies, and Travis' pants. We love you all so much.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I just wanted to post a quick shout out to all the mothers in my life. Mom, Brandi, Grandmother, Granny, and any others that I forgot. You all are so special and amazing women, a true inspiration for me. I can only hope to one day be as great a mom as you all are! I love you all! Hope you have a wonderful day
