On The Move

Well it's official! Kyle got his official assignment notification yesterday and will have an RFO no later than July 11th. We are off to Fort Polk, Louisiana and report November 17th!

We had no idea that less than two years after moving to Bliss that we would be on the move again. We meet with our realtor next week to get the house put up for sale. We are excited for all that is to come.

Here is a to a new adventure!!!! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

It's Thursday...Woo!

This is Kyle's shirt that I bought for the 4th of July run that we are doing haha.

This is mine...love it!

I bought this awesome grooming tool! We have already used it on Fishy and it has made a huge difference.

I got this sweet gift from my friend Kim, it has our brigade crest on one side and on the other side has our BN name. 

Everyone knows my love of Dachshunds...I found this mug at Marshalls and had to have it. :)

Happy Thursday everyone...I'll be spending my day at Kyle's work and then packing for our trip. Yippee!

Wordless Wednesday

I will be so sad to say goodbye to our first home when the time comes.

 Here is to new adventures though!

From The Mind of Jen

I feel like so much has been happening the few days...here are some happenings and my thoughts to go along with them.

*Cycle #1 with clomid was a big fat failure......thank you evil "p" for ruining my day. Here is to Cycle #2 working!

*We got the good news that Kyle wasn't on the officer separation board list...thank you Army for letting my husband stay in!

*We are were looking at living on post at Fort Polk....yeah that's comical....me and Kyle living in a 967 sq ft house with 2 animals. NOPE!

*We are going away to the Inn of the Mountain Gods this weekend....I have plans to sit on the balcony, stare at the lake and do nothing.

*We are running an Electric 5k next Thursday night....I have already purchased a plethora of glow in the dark necklaces and bracelets. Poor Kyle lol.

*Our freezer is finally being fixed next week! 2 weeks and 2 idiotic people later it will be done and with GE footing the bill for the parts.

*I have finally talked Kyle into getting a new couch....well it took his parents to tell him the same thing but a win is a win regardless of how it happens. lol.

*Fishy steals my spot on the couch every chance he gets....lazy bones lol.

 

I hope you all have a great day! 

Fun Times

Friday night went to the brigade commander's farewell. One of the highlights of the night was seeing Kyle's former 1SG. The first thing I said was "The dream team is back together!", it is sad that she isn't in the company anymore but it was great to see her. We had a fun night, it started at 6pm and didn't end until 11:30pm. Lots of drinks, lots of laughs and great company.

Saturday was our actual anniversary, I picked up this cake from Albertsons to help us celebrate. We had dinner with Kyle's parents who were in town for the weekend. I can't believe it has been 6 years, time sure flies.

We spent most of the weekend taking Kyle's parents around to different places and hanging out. We both have busy weeks ahead of us so it was nice to stay pretty low key most of the time.

I have finals this week so my brain will be fried by the end of the week haha.

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Brigade Color Run

I wasn't going to post today but I had to share about the event Kyle's brigade put on this morning. It was an event for sexual assault and sexual harassment awareness (SHARP). The event consisted of fun events for soldiers and their families.

The main part of the event was a "color run". We ran for about 2.75 miles and then at the end we were doused with color and given the color pouches to have a blast with. It was funny just walking past someone you didn't really know and pelt them with color. We all had a blast. They also had a tug of war competition, dunk tank, snow cones, cotton candy, popcorn and bounce houses for the kids.

It was great watching the soldiers cut loose and have a great time and to support such a great cause.

It was an awesome event and I am so glad that I got up with Kyle this morning to go. :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

6 Years of Wedded Bliss

On Saturday we will be celebrating 6 years of marriage. I wanted to post this early as I won't be around much the next few days.

17 years ago I met a goofy kid in my history class...I never would have thought that 11 years later I would marry that same goofy kid.

We had a very unorthodox relationship from the beginning, we did not live in the same place and we only dated for 2 months before getting married. Regardless of this fact I do not regret this decision at all.

Our relationship has been tested in many different ways but despite everything we have come out stronger than ever. I am so thankful that I made that choice 6 years ago. He is the love of my life and I truly do not know what I would do without him, he completes me in every way.

We have been through 2 deployments, countless field exercises, 3 (soon to be 4) moves, 5 homes, and anything else the army wants to throw at us. Being married is a challenge in itself but when you add the military it is a whole new ball game.

I am so lucky to be married to a man who is kind, compassionate, infuriating, loving, smart, sarcastic, funny, hardworking and overall just a great man. It has been a wonderful and challenging 6 years but I couldn't imagine living this life with anyone else. No marriage is perfect and ours is far from it but at the end of the day I am married to the person that is perfect for me even when he frustrates me. :) 

Happy Anniversary, Kyle! I love you more than you know.
