Military Monday

So let me just start by saying heyyy to any new followers or visitors from

Military Monday! A little bit of information about me:

Name is Lauren

I am married to a Soldier

He is my best friend

He is currently in the sand box

Yes, we are going through our 1st deployment

We are expecting a baby boy in January/February

Depending on when baby wants to come

I love making new friends

So leave some comments so I can come follow you back 

In other news, I seriously live for phone calls now. I have my phone 

glued to me at all times. I am really thankful to hear from my husband as 

often as I do. And extra thankful that I got an iPhone recently 

because with my phone and his iPod, we get to FaceTime

quite often and I LOVE every minute of it. I mailed out his 

first goodie boxes today. Only had intentions on making 

one box, but ended up with two full boxes. There are lots 

of goodies and stuff he needs in them though.

In baby news, I am 26 weeks and a day today! I can not

believe how fast time as flown by. My baby shower is this 

coming Sunday already and we could possibly only have

9 more weeks until baby gets here, depending on how

anxious he is at 35 weeks. I'm hoping not much longer

after 35 weeks because I am ready to be done and 

to meet my little man. 

Still Alive, I Promise

I have been in a blogging rut lately. I am just all out of writing

right now. Maybe I will get some inspiration today,

I did mail my husbands first boxes today!

Halloween Came and Went...

So lately I have been in these moods where I don't even want to get out of bed. I know it's not healthy at all and I'm working on it. Reality is sinking in and being thrown in my face. My husband is off fighting a war and here I am six months pregnant all alone. I don't think things would be as difficult if I wasn't pregnant. Obviously I am not complaining about him, I'm overly excited for him. Just not excited that I have no friends to help keep me busy because I can't go out and party with them. Halloween has came and gone, one of my favorite holidays. Guess what I did? Absolutely nothing. And everyone who knows what I'm going through and are going through it as well are 2 hours away from me. I know it's not healthy for me and baby...I'm working on it.

Friday Fill-In

1. The best part of October was having my husband home for his 4 day pass

2. The worst part of October was  having to say goodbye all over again

3. For Halloween, I’ll be with family taking my nieces and nephew trick or treating

4. I hope that in November it doesn't snow like a mad man outside. I hate the snow. I need to move

5. Wifey has posted MilSpouse Secret Santa. I  will be participating, hopefully! :)

I give you...

My version of those Halloween cupcakes. Their not as 

good because the frosting I made kind of sucked.

It was really runny until it hardened up on the cupcake.

Gotta find a new one for sure.

But they are for 8 and 9 year old's, so they don't need 

to be perfect. They also made a huge mess of my kitchen..

It's Thursday, again!

So that means, it is time to link up with Goodnight Moon for a good

ol' jam session. In honor of Halloween becoming so close and all

the trick or treats starting today in various parts of where I live,

I thought it would only be fitting to pick this song. I LOVED

this song as a kid, not exactly sure why, but I did.

With that being said, I am off to bake cupcakes for

my niece's Halloween party tomorrow. I am such an

awesome aunt! :)

Here is what I plan on them looking like

Hope they look this good!!
