A Tribute To The Love Of My Life

Since Being Here, I Really Have Nothing To Say

Since Louisiana is such a boring place, I have not posted anything on my blog, Myspace or even MyFamily.com. Though there is nothing really of worth to report, I feel kind of bad that I haven't posted anything and yet I expect everyone else to. So, though it is not exciting, here is what has been going on since we moved to "The Pit of Hell."

• On our way to Louisiana we bought me a new car. A gorgeous sparkling blue '08 Honda Civic. It gets GREAT gas mileage! I am very happy to have it :D. (Pardon the love bug splatter...they are REALLY bad down here).

• We adopted our second puppy, Jack. He is a beautiful blood hound mix. He is very affectionate and actually more obedient than Siera at the moment. We named him Jack after Jack O'Neil from Stargate-SG1. I just had to have another puppy after seeing how much Siera loved playing with other dogs. We are very happy with our decision and our luck of getting such a wonderful addition.
  
  
  

• We moved on post. We were lucky to get a first floor, which we asked for so that the dogs can have a yard to play in. It isn't much, especially when we are going from having a great 3 bedroom house with a jacuzzi. Now we are stuck in a 2 bedroom house with 1 small bathroom and a yard with no grass. It is not what we would like to have, but it is "free" and we are making the most of it.



• Aaron works almost everyday, including the weekends. He isn't able to make it to church so much that the ward thinks he is inactive. He loves what he does, which is train other soldiers that are about to be deployed. He just hates the hours he has to put it and how much it takes him away from me. It just makes the time that we are able to spend together that more special.



• I am spending allot of my time in doctors offices. I have an allergenist (I have not been able to stop itching since I got here), an infertility specialist, and a few more that I don't feel comfortable talking about. I go in for shots every week for my allergies for now, in a few more weeks I will be giving me my own shots at home. I see an infertility doctor about once a month. As some of you know I have had 2 miscarriages and now Aaron and I are having trouble getting pregnant at all. Aaron has been ruled out for being the problem (lucky bastard), so now it is all on me. I just had to go to the largest town which is about an hour away to have an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) done. That was fun, NOT! Now I have another appointment with my regular specialty doctor to go over the results and see what is next.



• Aaron and I get together with another couple from church regularly. We get together to play games at each others houses and we go bowling on Friday nights from 9 to midnight.

That is pretty much it. We stay at home most of the times just watching TV, movies or playing video games. There is nothing here except for Wal-Mart so it really limits any activities. Though we are making the best of what we have. We have each other and that is enough, but the dogs do help :D.

I guess that is about it. Told you it is boring down here.

Scuba Rocks

Aaron and I went on our first open ocean boat dive last month. Found out that after an hour on the boat...well, that smile on my face disappeared. We had to change locations for all of our dives after arrival at the original sites due to the water being to choppy and dangerous for when we wanted to get back on the boat.

Though I was sea sick I still had fun. It was way easier once I actually got under water. No waves hitting and knocking you around. It was a low visability dive (couldn't see very far in front you). I also slipped out of my weight belt, which is very bad for someone like me. I am naturally boyant and though I was spreading my legs to keep the belt at my knees when I noticed it falling...I still started to float to the top. Sure enough my ears started hurting due to a fast ascent. Aaron was able to grab me before I got to high and pulled me down slowly so that I could equalize. Then he and our dive con shoved my fins under the anchor line so I couldn't go anywhere and they fixed my belt for me. Needless to say, it was a very interesting and exciting trip.

Real Life Kicks In

Well, Aaron is home and back to work. Due to me no longer having a car, I am stuck at home all day. I am pretty much going nuts! Lately Aaron comes home around noon-1400, but we don't know how long that will last. I have the dog to keep me company, but due to kennel training...she isn't much help. I clean the house, work on puzzles and practice the piano (keyboard, whatever). So my days are very empty.
But...since we've been off of vacation...we have....bought a new couch...a new big, flat screen, HD TV...and a few more more household goods. We found an Asian market and Korean restraunt which we have made our favorite place to go out to. I was in heaven Monday when we went to eat there for the first time...YUM!
I finally got in to see a doctor about my knee and I start my physical therapy on the 21st.
We have our marriage retreat next weekend...and the EOD Memorial/Ball in Florida 2 weeks after that.
Aaron is still sick. And boy is he a baby when he is sick. He hasn't stopped complaing about being sick of coughing since he first caught is. I'm the one that should be complaining...he keeps me awake all night coughing...lol.
I guess that is about it for now.

This Is The Life

AARON IS HOME!! Aaron has been home for about a week and a half. Life is perfect. He doesn't report back to work til April, so we are enjoying every moment together. We play video games, go to movies, go shopping, and lounge on the hammock in the living room just chillin'. Yes, that is right...we have a hammock in the living room...and everyone seems to love it. I haven't gotten on Aarons' nerves yet...or so it seems. Aaron bought me a new computer (since the laptop he gave me sucked), but he spends most of the time on it playing WarCraft. Sadly I am very sick at the moment. We think that it is the flu. Sometimes I am okay, others I am barely functioning. Aaron has been taking very good care of me. He bombards me with blankets when I am freezing, brings me liquids and soup, and showers me with kisses. I at least was able to clean and organize 2 of the rooms today before crawling in bed nauseous and cold. I guess that is about it for now. Aaron is home, we are having a blast, and I have the flu. Soon it will be time to hit the beach, New Hampshire, and TN.

SINCE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE

I know that I have not been on here to post in a few months. So, here is the update. I have been in and out of the hospital for some problems with my intestines and such. I am lucky enough to have gotten cleared of most of those problems in the middle of January. I am not in as much pain anymore which is really nice. They said everything else should clear up once Aaron comes home and I start to calm down and not stress out so much.
Aaron told me to start going back to the tanning salon which I have been doing pretty regularly for the past month and a half. I don't glow in the dark anymore.
Aaron and I talk almost everyday. We love it. We talk about anything and everything. Lately the conversations have lasted over an hour each time (which is why our phone bill this month is over $300). We think that it is worth it though, seeing as it is all that we have. We are just getting so anxious and excited about it being time for him to come home. We have so many plans for our block leave. We are going to NH to visit the class that has been pen palling him. I have been coresponding with the teacher and we have been learning alot about eachother. We are also making a trip out to TN to visit the family and have some fun. Then, my favorite part, we are hitting Myrtle Beach again. We had so much fun last time during R&R, so I have high hopes for this time. We look forward to getting reaquainted and finally getting the chance to learn what it is like to be married and live together. We are always asking eachother questions, since there is so much to learn. Since he has been gone I learned that he doesn't like pancakes, he hates cold sheets, he loves his take on maccaroni salad, and apparently he really really loves and misses me...lol. Most of our conversations are like we were when we were dating....nothing but jokes and laughs. I don't think that we can be serious around eachother for very long.
Aaron is just so incredible, I swear that I fall in love with all over again during every conversation. He is just so understand, caring, loving and just absolutly wonderful. He can't tell me about most of what goes on over there (understandably of course), but we always find stuff to talk about. And he listens to me without judgment (but I think he may hate my family by now...lol). He is always on my side. He always tries to make me happy and smiling by the time he hangs up...even though he knows how sad that I am with him being gone, how much I miss him and just want him home.
Well, I guess that is it. Sorry about my rambling about missing Aaron (but after this long, can you blame me?). Luckily, Aaron is going to be home soon and then I will be rambling about how great it is to have him home :).

Time of Year

Well, Halloween is almost here. I can't believe that this year is finally coming to an end. I swear that this year has been the longest of my life. I know that is just seems that way due to the lack of my husband, but still. Aaron was relocated to a place where I get to hear from him only every couple of days. It is so hard to keep my mind and body from wanting to shut down sometimes. There are days that I just want to fall into a coma only to be awaken by Aaron. But reality is that I am just going to have to deal with the rest of this deployment the way that I have made it so far.
Aaron is affected too by this. He wants to be home so badly. It has hit him to the point he is trying to get sent to School House so that he will be stationary and that we may have a life and family. I was rather shocked by this fact, but he is already in the process. It would be nice to have him home long enough to have at least one baby, and for him to be home for the entire event.
I can't believe that we have been married for almost a whole year. Though this year has been long and miserable, it's hard to think that I have been married for that long. I know that this may sound weird, but it is true. I look forward to a whole lifetime as Aaron's' wife (preferably in person). I love him so much and couldn't be happier (except for if he was home of course).
Well, that is my blog for now. At least I finally blogged one :). I better get back to decorating for the Halloween party we are having tomorrow.
