7 Months

So we've been at Fort Jackson for 7 months now, things are pretty good, so I figured I'd make a list of what we've done, and things to come!!

What we've done:

• We've had 2 birthdays (mine & his)
• 3 Trips to Dahlonega & Chattanooga, 2 to Atlanta
• Florida to see my father's side of the family I hadn't seen in over 10 years for my Uncle's 80th birthday
• We went to Charleston for the 4th of July
• Myrtle Beach for the day to go to the Ripley's Aquarium
• Steven went to Charlotte with his father for the Coca-Cola 600
• I went to Charlotte with Emily for the KNOTB, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men concert
• Just started our 3rd cycle of Basic
• Steven had his wisdom teeth removed
• My sister came to stay with us
• We did our first cycle of Clomid, it worked, but unfortunately we didn't get pregnant

What we're going to do:

• I'm about to take my sister back to Chattanooga, and then we'll go to Daytona Beach with Emily and her daughter
• Another round of Clomid
• Finish up this cycle of Basic
• Hopefully Steven will get promoted (the list comes out next month, we hope)

MilSpouse Day & Weekend Plans

Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day to my fellow Military Spouses! Hope you have a great day!

We're making our way to Dahlonega today (whenever Steven gets back from doing a few things at work), he is doing a GORUCK Light Challenge in Atlanta tomorrow, so we're going to see his family for a night, and then he'll go to Atlanta, and I'll just chill in Dahlonega. He has to be in Atlanta at 7am, and I don't want to get up that early, so I'll spend the day there.

That last question, I asked it =P To play along, get the questions and link up here

1. What is your next home improvement goal?
Next week I have professional organizers coming to help unpack and set up the dining room and living room. If we have time, I'm going to have them help with our bedroom and one of our guest rooms. We need HELP!

2. If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, what would it be? No religious texts (ie Bible, Quran, Torah, etc, etc)...
This is a tough question, I don't think I could pick just one book. Maybe a series, but not a book, and the series I would pick would be either Hunger Games Trilogy or The Twilight Saga, or The Sisterhood Series (by Fern Michaels) (because there are 21 of them! Ha)

3. What is on top of your refrigerator?
Breakfast foods (cereal, pop tarts) and our paper towel holder

4. What are your favorite or most used phone apps?
Favorite & Most Used are basically the same - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Starbucks, Been Together, Big Day, CocoPPa
Games - Fish Out Of Water, What's the Phrase, What's the Word, Ruzzle, Diamond Dash

5. What's the one thing you hate most about your spouses job?

I love my husband's job, and I am so proud to be an Army Wife, but right now, I hate it, I hate that he works until 8pm or later every day, he leaves the house at 5:15 every morning btw, at this point with how little I see my husband he might as well be deployed or in the field for a month. I'm also sick of people not taking care of their responsibilities. Just because you are on the way out of the Army does NOT make it okay to just stop telling people what is going on, and leaving it to my husband to clean up your mess. And that my friends is all I'll say...

5QF 4/26/13

So I told ya'll Monday I was a Menu Planning failure, and I was right, I had a hair appointment Wednesday at 3pm, but the spoiled rich girl before me decided she wanted a full head of highlights instead of a partial like her appointment was made for, and that put my hair lady 45 min behind, so it was nearly 6pm by the time I got out of there. There is a pizza place next door we hadn't tried yet, Village Idiot Pizza, it was really good. Then last night I had picked up Chicken (pecan crusted) from Whole Foods and asparagus but a new friend got free tickets to see Quidam, so now we're doing the chicken and asparagus tonight! See, a total meal planning failure, yet again! Ha!

1. Who drives when your family is together, you or your spouse?

It depends on which car we take, if we take his car, he drives, if we take my car I drive. It also depends on time of day, I don't like to drive at night, I have a hard time seeing at night. It also depends on where we are going, where we are, and who knows the area better. When we would go visit our families while we lived in Hawaii we would rent a car, and he'd drive in his home town and I drove in mine.

2. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

I tend to be a little of each, I enjoy making friends, and I have a great time when I do hang out with them, but there is really nothing better than spending a night in with a good show, movie or book. Plus I hate big crowds.

3. Are you married to an introvert or extrovert?

I think he's a little of both also.

4. What's your favorite type of social media?

Facebook, I'm a sucker for those games, even though I've kind of taken a break from them.

5. What's your favorite way to "recharge"?

A nap, a good book, a day in away from people, a get away, cuddles with my hubby!
