10 Days till the BIG PCS!

Soooo Yes, I have been M.I.A.! So much happening at once! PCS,laundry, Packing, out- processing, having a going-away party this weekend.Did I mention, I missed Blogging. Lots of fun stuff happned this weekend, I died my hair dark. Darker than I ever have gone before, but everyones right dark=mysterious. I love it, but would love your input!



Went and seen the new Twilight movie.... verdict is : for all you Twigeeks... Eclipse kinda sucked, I loved the romance, but definatly expected more action! BELLA, BELLA, BELLA geez!! Lay off a little! Make it more about JACOB, Edward, JACOB. lol. Still enjoyed the movie mostly because it was the first movie the hubbs and I have seen in the theater together in too many years to count!

So ten days and a wake up, we are Ft. Campbell bound. I am so excited to the point I cant sleep. I havent been doing much of that lately anyhoo! I have so much to do, so I took a fellow follower's advice and made a top 4 list for each day and it has worked like a charm!

Also, I recieved this comment and thought mabey some of you Mil-Spouses would think it was a good thing so heres me passing it along, I would definatly watch this Docu-reality series brought to you by Gillette, Walmart and the USO.



Are you a military family awaiting the return of a soldier who has been away for a while?

Are you a soldier stationed overseas who can’t wait to see your family?

Do you have a compelling story about your upcoming reunion?

Would you like to be featured on a reality show?



We are looking for families, who are anticipating the return of a loved one who is

oversees and on active duty, to participate in a reality show about the upcoming reunion.

Hi,

I really like your blog. I am a casting director for a docu-reality series sponsored by the USO about military families with loved ones stationed overseas. I'd love if you would submit to be on the show. If you, or someone else you know, might like to be on the series, or if you just want some more information pleas...e go to WWW.ROADTOREUNION.COM

We are really trying to show the sacrifice, loyalty, and courage it takes to be a military family and can use your help.

Thanks!

ACU's, Stiletto Shoes, and Pretty Pink Tutus: If this doesn't make you proud...

If you are a stickler for justice and peace for our fallen, this is a story you cant just read without feeling overwhelmed with anger. How could this wife let this Soldier's final resting place be without a head stone. Brings questions like did she even Love him? She definatly didnt respect him! Bless his family!

Wow 17 Days...

Hello, and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Surprisingly,I had a great weekend. My In-Laws were in town for a couple days and we enjoyed their visit with a trip to NN Park to feed all the wildlife and they LOVED it! Sunday we went to Virginia Beach, had to keep up with our weekly tradition of beach time! J's Sis was there and so we got to catch up with her and her Lil family, as it had been over a year since we got that chance. After spending the majority of the day there, blistered (sun-burn) we headed home to spend our last night together before J had to return to base and his parents swept my Lil Katiebug to Georgia for 3 weeks. Lil JJ wasn't having it he didn't even ask to go. Everyone says he's a Mama's Boy; and right now that's OK with me!

J and his Sis



Beach Bums!!!



Sooooo, YES I said it... 17 short days and we will be on our journey to Ft. Campbell. The closer it gets the more ecstatic I get! I found out we are number 42 of 66 on the waiting list for Housing. Like I said, I know it could be worse so I am counting my blessings and getting started on the details of the trip. Hopefully you can follow us on this PCS and enjoy the musings and misadventures of this experience! Army Life isn't always easy but I do have to say that in very different ways it is an essential tool in our lives. I feel it has meen instrumental in helping our children be more social and J's and my relationship has flourished in some of the best ways. I am sure I will have my days but today... is justified!




I also wanted to give all my new followers a big Welcome, I want you all to know how important this blog and your input is to me! I am fairly new to this whole thing and along the way have found some incredible blogs to follow that I feel like I could learn so much from! So Today, here is to our Futures may they have so much more to give and learn from. THANK YOU ALL FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART!!! ((((HUGS))))




One more thing, this blog A little Pink in a world of Camo has captivated me, and made me feel so much more aware of all the things we all take for granted on a daily basis! Her strength and courage are a force to be reckoned with. She amazes me every time I read a new entry. Bless her, for letting us in to see and feel the rawness of having lost the Love of her life and the father of her precious child for the sake and safety of our country!The ultimate Sacrifice.

Having a hard time with this transition.... 20 days

There has been so much going on.. With our time in Virginia, sadly (those of you who know me, know quite the contrary) coming to an end. I cant help but to feel so mixed up about what is to come. There isn't much time left to get our affairs in order. My In-Laws are coming this weekend to pick up my daughter for a couple weeks this summer, which will put us picking her up in Atlanta in 3 weeks. Love the fact she can spend time with family we don't get to see nearly as much as we would like to. But it is adding more TO-DO'S on our list. We still have a whole house worth of stuff in Knoxville, Tn. Where we lived prior to this whole, Army whirlwind of a life came into place. Not to mention I have still not gotten us on the Housing waiting list at Ft.Campbell. UGHHHH



So in knowing there is much to do and little time to do it in, Why is it that I cant bring myself to get started. I am dragging ARSE because between enrolling both my kids in school, finding a place to live, trying to deal with Transportation and Finance and struggling to get all the Information we need in order to properly get all our ducks in a row for this PCS, I am at a complete stand still. I wanted so badly to get outta here, and now I am procrastinating. What will it take for me to snap out of this? I feel like I am stuck and with no assistance from my "helpmate" I really feel alone in all this. I am not for a second blaming him but at what point do you get used to doing it alone? Someone must have the answer to this question...

Day-9 and 10 (30 Days of me)

Day 9: A photo you took

I took this picture three years ago in the Great Smokie Mountain National Park in Gatlinburg,Tn. I was very proud of the quality of this pic, but is the closest I will come to photography.





Day 10: A photo of you taken over ten years ago


So in the process I cannot find a picture older than 6 years old on my comp... so I will get back to this one.. sorry

For obvious reasons....

I Love the Fantasy of being a Queen in a Castle on a hill...

Happy 4th of July weekend!

THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!!!









I hope you all had an amazing 4th Of July weekend! I had one of the best Independance day EVER!. My husband was fortunate to have (as us Mil-Spouses call it) a 4-day!! <3 Hooah <3, for the Holiday weekend. So we got to have him all to ourselves since Friday 6 a.m. I have to ask that u excuse me for being absent from my new hobbie... a.k.a(My Blog)not that you all missed me, but because I missed it. Its like my daily venting source (Wheather it may be good or bad), I get it all out. That and the sence of equality I feel when I read other bolgs!








So with that being said, we didnt go out of town, or visit friends or family (who I miss enormously). We stayed in and watched movies, went to the park and paddle-boating, had a picnic, beach all day on Independance Day, watched phenominal fireworks at Ft. Menroe (Buckroe beach), And finally, today, we just relaxed and BBQ'd lesierly enjoying our last few hours together until back to Ft. Eustis for another week down in the completion of 29 and a half weeks of AIT. Only 25 more days of classes!! Wow, after tonight 25 days until our journey moves on to Ft.Campbell, KY. YAYYYY I mean... hmmmm There is so much to do, and so much I dont want to do. Like saying good-bye to the irreplaceable people I met here. Which BTW FYI they ROCK!! Once again we are transitioning into the next phase and as excited as I am I can Honestly say I am equally as nrevous!! I do love this crazy, beautiful, Army life. It may have ups and downs but what in this life doesnt' or better yet will give you the opportunitys to cherish life even more and appreciate it as you venture? I would say that this life warrents more appreciation for human sacrifice and the power of love than even I can give at this moment, But, I vow to allow more room for all the good and bad this life brings to the table.

Day-2 OF (30 DAYS OF ME!)

Day 2: Your Favorite Movie...






Man, I Love movies too! Lol. I will have to say that Top gun is my all time Favorite.


Although, The Notebook is right there Nichlos Sparks ROCKS!




The Last song was an emotional roller coaster I didn't want to get off of! Even my daughter (6) was a wreck, I had to keep reminding her that it was a movie. But, that family's go through that all the time. I guess that would make me a die hard romantic... OR A sapp??? IDK but those are my top 3 I cant narrow it down any further.

Day- 1 ( 30 Days of ME) My Favorite Song...

Your Favorite song...



Well thats a hard question seeing as Music is my outlet! I love music, I can be anywhere going through anything and somehow music speaks to my soul! I get goosebumps and weird as it may sound sometimes, no matter how many times I hear it, I can go back to the moment I first heard it.

The Wind Beneath My Wings



This would have to be "THE" song, from as far back as I can remember.
