Forgot to post our new pics











We just had some pics taken. It was done on post and they did your hair, make-up and 1 photo for $25. Any other pics were extra. Though I hate the way they did my make-up and everything, can't beat the deal. Aaron bargained his booty off so that I could get a CD quickly of the photos that were taken. So I thought that I would share them with everyone.















What an AWESOME start to a weekend!!!

Well, yesterday we got a call telling us that Aaron came out on the E-7 list. It is kind of funny seeing as Aaron has yet to do anything for his 7, but we will take the blessing. Aaron also signs his paperwork for his CSRB on Tuesday, which we are anxious and excited about.

Today we bought me my first motorcycle!!! I got a small 2009 Honda Rebel 250. It is light enough for me to handle and something simple for me to learn how to ride on. I spent about an hour riding it around the housing here getting a feel for it. 2nd gear has never felt so good! "Driving" really is better "riding". Aaron was kind enough to take some pics and a video of my first ride. (And I never even dropped it, which I sort of was expecting.)
We had to drive an hour away to hit a decent bike shop. We went there yesterday, I fell in love with this bike, and we went back today with the trailer and bought it. We are waiting for the bonus for me to buy a couple of helmets that I want to be painted with a certain design I drew up. I also could not find a jacket that fit my short arms with my big bust, so we have to hit up another shop somewhere else we were directed to. Again, I figure that when we got out to really ride I will just wear Aaron's jacket for now. I already have a helmet that I have been wearing while riding backseat on Aaron's crotch-rocket.
I did almost run Aaron over once. I was using my front brake handle and accidentally gassed it up at the same time...lol. I yelled for him to move out of the way in time. He didn't get upset or anything. What a Trooper!

ALOT To Catch Up On

Let's start with Valentines Day. It just so happens that V-Day followed our income tax pay day. So Aaron and I bought each other iPod Touches. I already had an iPod Nano and Aaron had a crappy Zune. I had been trying to convince Aaron to get an iPod for a while since Zunes turned out to be a busted piece of junk. So he bought me a iPod Touch and then himself one...lol. I use mine everyday. Absolutly love it. Aaron has barely touched his, but only because he is reading a
book at the time. (I just stole his iPod and loaded tons of stuff on it...looks like he is finally playing with it. Maybe it won't be such a waste of money afterall).


We also went out for a Japanese dinner and a movie. The dinner was below satisfactory and the movie was just horrible. So Aaron decided that we needed a redo and we went out for alligator that weeeknd. Luckily, the alligator was beyond delicious. We absolutly love it and have made this new eatery our regular dine out.

We also have made some new friends. They have moved here recently and we have been hanging out with them regularly. Of course the wife, whom I have been spending time with, has recently found out that she is pregnant so it is making for some uncomfortable times. But I will deal with it to the best of my ability. We get together to play games, have dinner, go shooting and fishing and just have fun.

We also have purchased a new rifle. It has given us new things to do such as hitting the range every week. I am the best shot, but I try not to run it in Aarons face too much.













I also have just had my remaining 3 wisdom teeth removed. It has not been fun. I am in pain and look like a chipmunk. But at least I take beautiful pictures when I am drugged up.







Last night Aaron thought that I needed to get out since I have been doing so lousily with my recovery. So he took me out to see Race To Witch Mountain. We invited our new doubling couple, Billy and Tracie. Billy came but Tracie stayed home. She just started working at a hair salon and was saying how tired and hurt she has been. So looks like it will just be the two guys and me hanging out for a while. I am just glad to get out of the house myself.


I have also been taking fertility drugs. My dosage has been doubled for this cycle and we are being sent to a specialist. We are keeping our fingers crossed. If anything, we are looking into going to the Czech Republic for IVF seeing as it is WAY SO MUCH cheaper.


Well, that is about it for now I guess. It is hard enough for me to concentrate on typing this up while Aaron has X-Files on. We are watching the whole series so it definitly has my attention. I will try to update more...and more frequently.
