The Man Cave

When we moved into the house we decided to make the 4th bedroom Kyle's man cave. Oh he is so happy:

He has everything he could possibly need in this room haha. TV, Xbox, guitars, dartboard,  mini fridge and of course his recliner. He loves that he has a place that he can go and relax. He officially signed into his new unit today and will be in-processing for the next few days. He said everyone was extremely nice so here's hoping for a wonderful new unit!

The landscapers are coming today to start on the backyard so I will be chained to the house, but that's ok. I have plenty to keep me busy. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Is it possible?!

 I am currently over a week late for my planned visit from the "Evil P".  For those that know our infertility journey you can imagine how much anxiety this is causing me. I am trying to wait at least 1 more week before I test because who knows what could happen. My body could very well just hate me after moving and be out of whack. 

I am doing my very very best to not get my hopes up because I know how it feels to have them shattered. I just had to write my thoughts down before I go crazy and who better to tell them too than all you wonderfully amazing people! I tend to not dwell on this during the day because I always manage to keep myself busy. At night is when my mind races and I think about these things (never a good idea to think haha).

Fingers crossed that I might have some good news in a week but if not we will keep trying and keep on truckin'! 

Have a great day everyone!!

The Good Samaritan

Yesterday Kyle and I met up with his old NCO to have lunch. He is doing some training at Bliss for a month, so we definitely wanted to see him. We finished up lunch and headed to the car where we saw an MP writing down information as he was standing behind our car. Part of me started to panic because I thought we were getting a ticket for something (lol yes I automatically thought that). When we got closer he asked if it was our car and if the mark on the back left fender was already there. When we told him no he said "Ok we had a witness call saying the vehicle parked next to you hit your car while parking". Say what?! I immediately walked to the front of the SUV and oh yeah you could see where they hit our car.

We had to wait for this person to come out of the PX or wherever they were before we could leave. A few minutes later a gentleman walked over and told us that he was the one who called. We were so appreciative because not many people would take the time to look out for someone else. The MP told us that we had 2 options: A: exchange information with the driver or B: proceed with a case and have them charged with felony hit and run (it's a felony since no note was left after the accident occurred). Of course we opted for A. 

Finally, a woman in her 60's came out and said it was her car and proceeded to say that she hadn't hit our car and that the damage to her car was already there. Ummm no lady there is a little bit of my blue paint on your front bumper lol. She was very defensive at first but then finally apologized. We were able to go about our day without a major confrontation. Thankfully the damage to my car is not major, it should hopefully be able to be buffed out *fingers crossed*.

All in all everything ended up ok thanks to the super nice guy who took 5 minutes out of his day to do something helpful.

Back To Normal

After Kyle being off work for about 3 weeks he finally goes back to work on Thursday. Now don't get me wrong, I have LOVED every second of him being home, but I know we are both ready for things to get back to normal. He is ready to get into the swing of things in a new unit as am I. I am excited to see how the new unit is and the FRG. 

Since we had 2 days of snow our landscaping for the backyard had to be pushed back a few days. They will be coming out on the 15th to start, can't wait for Emma to have some grass. I know she will be so happy plus I'm ready to not see dirt in the backyard.

Besides getting our house in order I have been doing quite a lot of reading lately. I finally caved and read the Fifty Shades of Grey series. Oh wow. Yes they are very very graphic and not very well written but I loved the story behind it all. I have a few other books on my reading list thanks to a few suggestions from friends, I'm sure I will get to them at some point. If you have any good book suggestions feel free to throw them my way.

Oh and a random piece of information here is the awesome bumper sticker that I bought for Kyle:

Hahaha, he drives a Honda Element and he has been wanting this for as long as I can remember. I figured it was time to find it and buy one. He will be so happy.

Today we plan on doing absolutely nothing, which I am perfectly ok with. We are taking a break from getting the house organized to just rest. It feels like we have been going at full steam since we got here. It will be nice to lounge around in pj's all day.

Have a great day!

feels like home

We are really close to Kyle going back to work and it was a nice surprise waking up on Thursday and seeing this:

It snowed!! It didn't snow a lot but it was definitely fun to play in. We finally went outside and played in it on Friday.

Friday we also celebrated our sweet Emma's birthday:

 It is safe to say that she loved her cake haha.

The last few days we have done some shopping and I got a new phone (yay for the iphone 5!!). We also have been slowly working to get pictures hung up and this place looking like home. Here are a few pictures:

It is really starting to feel like home. 

I hope you all had a great weekend!!

Shoe Obsession?!

I finally got a shoe rack for my closet, woo hoo! The sad part is, if I wanted all of my shoes organized I would need 2 more (they hold 20) lol. I even got rid of about 30 pairs! I think I may have a problem. :)

I hope you all have a great weekend we are finally getting out of the house after a few days of snow.

Happy Birthday, Emma!

Today our sweet baby girl, Emma, turns 9! To some people she is just a dog but she is much more than that to us. She is such a sweetheart and we love her to pieces. 

She is even getting a special birthday cake today made by yours truly. :) 

Happy Birthday sweet sweet Emma!!
