Smarty Pants

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm feeling extra smart right now because I got a 96 on my first radiography exam today! I'm proud of myself I studied really hard, and I know a 96 isn't spectacular to some but for me that is pretty darn good!

Just had to brag a little. I also started work today yay for money!

Okay I'm going to bed now gotta be up at the butt crack of dawn for 8 hours of class!

Good night :)

What I've been up to.....

Hi everyone,

well school is in full swing and man is it killer! I am loving every minute of it though! I've met some great people and our class is awesome. I love my teachers they are nice and funny and keep things from getting too boring after sitting in class for 8 hours two times a week. I have my first test on Monday I'm super nervous but I think it will be alright. We have our first day of clinicals is September 15th I'm real nervous about that. We'll see how it goes.

The summer was good but busy. We got home mid may and J immediately started working back at the base and flying again, then left for 3 weeks of training in WHFRTC and then we had about a month to spend with one another between working and getting ready for deployment.

I'm sure there are some of my readers who can attest to how busy and stressfull predeployment is. I seriously felt like a chicken with my head cut off for about 2 weeks straight. I still feel that way now but for a new reason (school).

When I had downtime I redecorated our room. I painted it and my dad came and helped me hang crown moulding and i painted all of our mouldings white and hung curtains and got new lamps and put on the bedding we got as wedding gifts. It's so peaceful and relaxing just what I wanted! Oh and J likes it too! I'll try and post pictures when it's clean I havent had much time to clean between studying and going to class and generally taking care of myself.

I've also became quite the crafterista lately. I've picked up crochet and sewing and love them both. I'll post pictures of my projects in a later post. I'm working on a jacket right now for the fall and I'm very excited about it!

Overall life is pretty good. I cant complain too much. I have great friends and family, an amazing husband who loves me unconditionally, and I'm achieving my dreams.

Life is good. I'll get more specific on things in later posts so I can have things to blog about rather than writing one long post!

I have not fallen off the face of the earth....yet

Hi everybody!

I'm so sorry that I havent posted in so long with moving and getting ready for deployment and school I've just barely had time to sit down. I also redid our bedroom while J was off training for 3 weeks and it turned out great! I'll post pictures sometime,and I've been crafting a lot lately too so hopefully I'll be able to get back on track with posting more regularly.

School starts the 17th so after I get readjusted to school I'll be back I promise!

Sorry again!

Busy Lil Bee

Hey everyone sorry that I've been sucking it up at posting lately. I've been super busy with finishing up school (2 A's and 1 B so far!) and getting everything ready for the baby shower (it was a success!) and saying good bye to all of our friends and of course getting ready to move. I've had no time for anything. So instead of everyone expecting me to post I'm just going to go ahead and say I probably wont be posting again until after the 18th. I'll be busy trying to get our house back in order and visiting with family and friends who I havent seen in months. So I'll be back soon my pretties with lots of great stuff to talk about!

Don't forget about me!

Graduation, Marriage & Babies

I dont know about anyone else but there seems to be an outbreak of epedemic proportions of pregnancy these last few months. Every where I look there is another pregnant girl. I'm not saying that I don't like it I'm very happy for each and every one of them, but it's just crazy how many of my friends and friends of friends are popping out babies. Or maybe just the general population. OR it could have to do with the fact that I got to hold and snuggle the most beautiful little baby girl in the world on Monday. I wanted to take her home with me. Weighing in at a mere 5 pounds she was just breathtaking. I'd never held a newborn before (oh the curse of an only child & living far away from other family) and I swear I've said many times that I do not want children right now (and in my heart of hearts) I know that right now is not the time. But holding that little baby sure made me wanna throw everything out the window. I believe this is the start of my baby fever. Poor hubby.

Another thing I've noticed. Nearly all of my classmates from high school are graduating with degrees in a week. This my friends makes me feel somewhat behind. But I have nothing to complain about I FINALLY got what I wanted as far as getting accepted into the Radiography program and I'm married to the love of my life. No complaints. Just some things I'm noticing.

And lastly, oh marriage sweet sweet love. LOTS of those girls who are graduating are also getting engaged or their wedding dates are fast approaching. Once again CONGRATS to them! I had a TON of fun planning my wedding and I hope they do the same.

I don't know what this was really supposed to be about. I think these are just things I'm hyper aware of as of late. Sorry this post was kind of pointless.

Short Hiatus

& when I say short I mean only this week! I didn't post much last week because my brother in law has been here so we've been spending time with him. I'll recap on all of that next week. I have plenty of good ideas for posts coming up so stay tuned! I have to take this week off because I have A TON of school work to get finished up but I just have to make it through this week so once I do it will all be down hill from there.

BUT I did see this when I was taking a break from the endless pile of homework today....you girls will appreciate it and guys it will make you appreciate the things we as women go through....

On the upside

Ahhhhh......is all I have to say! My dad went and turned in my papers for Radiography admission today so all I have left to do is register for my classes and HOPEFULLY that will happen on Wednesday at the latest Friday.

I hope everyone had a good Easter. Mine was alright I guess I was still VERY VERY disappointed that we didn't get to go have lunch with all of our friends, even though we very easily could have but everyone else was against it so we had Burger King....nice huh? After that we went and played around in the simulators on base which was fun. Then went and hunted for fishing spots for the boys. They did find me an awesome spot to take my final pictures for photography class! I'm VERY excited! But I wont tell you until I've taken them! While the guys fished the river I read Eclipse and I'm still not very far! I'm a very thorough reader so it takes me a bit longer than usual. I'm getting there though I'm very excited to get to Breaking Dawn!

The weather has been quite bad today but it is supposed to be nice for the rest of the week so the husband will probably take his check ride tomorrow instead. It's hard for them to see with NVG's on when there has been a storm or the clouds are real low. Which we have both today. So it's most likely a NO GO tonight.

here comes the upside:

WE WILL BE DONE WITH HAWKS TOMORROW! Hallelujah! officially 4 weeks Thursday and we will be heading home!

Heading to the beach this weekend most likely.....blah
