It's been a while...

Hey guys! Sorry I have been MIA for a while. A lot has happened since

the last time I was able to blog. To get you all caught up though, this

is what has been happening.

Mine and hubs first deployment is well under way. He was just 

home this past weekend for his four day pass. It was 

probably the fastest four days of my life thus far. Sadly 

though, I had to share him with A LOT of people.

As unhappy as I was about sharing him, I was just

happy to have him home. Now he is gone, for 

quite some time too. 

As proud of him as I am, it still sucks. I miss him

so much, especially with the baby coming soon

and all of the baby activities taking place soon.

I just want more than anything to have him here, 

but that isn't an option. I need a hobby.

Preferably one that isn't expensive. Or

an easy coping method to deal with everything.

I am now 23 weeks pregnant. I still have 

a ways to go, but time is going FAST!

January will be here before I know it.

We finally picked out a name for baby, after

much debate. And we didn't fully agree until

hubs was seconds away from getting on

the plane to leave us again. Kind of cute,

definitely not something we will forget.

But we plan on keeping the name a 

secret until baby is born since I didn't

want to tell anyone it was a boy from

the beginning but hubs was so excited.

We also got all moved in to our new place.

And we got to set up the baby's bed & dresser

while hubs was home. So that was exciting.

That is all for now. I promise I will be back

to regularly blogging again. I just had to wait

until the internet got hooked up and spent

time with the hubs. Hope everyone

is well. I have some serious catching up to do.

Hopefully if you follow me on twitter,

your not too far behind on me :)

Will Things Ever be the Same??

Wow! So it has been a long time since I have actually blogged. So much has happened since October to now. I picked up my life and moved to Columbus to be with the man I love more than anything. It has been great so far, my only wish, that I could of brought my friends and job with me. As much I hated and complained about my job, I miss the people I work with. We were together so much, they became like family to me. I ususally saw them more than I saw my own family. I don't neccesarily miss the job, just my "family" there. And my best friends, thats a whole different story. I moved down here and I don't know a single person. Everyone of my friends is back in Akron, and I have already missed my best friends birthday. It sucks. Granted I am only 2 hours away from everyone, it is still not as easy to just come home. Coming home means the gas to go back to Akron, a place to stay while I am there, and time to see everyone so no one gets mad. It's almost like a competition, if I don't see one person but I see another, they get mad. It's frustrating...

And my best friend is mad at me, she might not admit it, but I know she is, because I would be mad too. Me moving was for the better, but it still isn't the same. We have already grown apart. We don't talk much anymore, even before I left we didn't talk much. Her resentment was buidling before I even left. I can't really say anything because I am the one who chose to leave. But I do miss her and I hope things change soon. I know we might not stay best friends like we were, but she is the only person who knows me in and out, she knows when I am angry, even when I lie and say I am fine, she knows I am lying. Friendships like that are hard to find, and I hope we can get past this "bump" in our friendship and move forward.

I LOVEEE Surprises :)

So this past weekend, the 23,24 & 25 my boyfriend came home. He drove all the way from Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri to good ol' Ohio. 684 miles to be exact and he did it in 9.5 hours. I was at the Red Fox with my broski Alvin and guess who met me there :) It was about 1:30 in the morning when he got in and we were inseperable the whole time he was here.

Saturday, we were gonna go surprise his dad but when he called he found out his grams was in the hospital and it was her birthday. We went to visit her and she was in such good spirits. Everythings okay now and she went home since, luckily. Then we went to visit his other grandma, she was soooo excited to see us, mainly him, lol. She is such a sweet woman, and Josh takes after her so much. Thats definitly where alot of his outspokenness comes from.

We then went to the Soap Box Derby for a little bit and met up with his Aunt and Uncle. Of course, Josh ran into people he knew, except I knew them too, but I was like 12 the last time I saw them, ha. After the Derby, we came back to my house and went swimming for a little while. It was sooo nice to have just me and him time, don't get me wrong, I love his family and seeing them but its nice to have him all by myself.

After swimming, we went to the Italian Fest and met up with his pops. Its probably one of my favorite things ever during the summer. I love italian food and im italian so it doesn't get any better than that. It had been raining all day long though so there wasn't that many people down there. But we still had fun and I got to eat some amazinggg pasta :) We thennn went downtown to Brubaker's and met up with his friend Bryant. Eventually we ended back up at the Red Fox. I don't know how we both managed to stay up until 2:30 am cuz we were both dead tired, but we did. And the next morning we both slept until 10am and he had to leave at noon to go back :(

Needless to say, I love him more than anything. Especially because he drove almost 1400 miles in 3 days just to spend a little bit of time with me, and of course his family ;) And for the next month and half I only have to go 2 weeks at a time without having to see him, because I am either going to St. Louis or he is coming back home. I'm getting spoiled and I love every minute of it.
