I haven't posted in a few weeks, seems like everytime I start to post, something comes up and then I forget about it. But I'm here now and hopefully I can finish this one! Chris and I had our pictures taken by Michelle Huff Photgraphy this past weekend. It was so hard to get Chris to agree to get them done but I'm so glad I finally begged enough that he gave in! They turned out wonderful! I wish he would do pictures more often! He hates getting his picture taken! I've started looking for a job again.. I signed up for Avon and Scentsy earlier this month. I haven't made any sales yet. I do have some Scentsy parties in the works and some Avon books passed out. The Scentsy seems to be more popular than Avon, but if anyone is interested, I do have books! Please please please schedule a Scentsy party! There are tons of discounts if you host a party. I've been applying at pharmacies to be a pharmacy technician. That seems to be one of the only jobs that Chris approves of and if I could get on at a pharmacy it would be awesome. I'm making some follow up calls today since I sent in my applications and hopefully someone will say "Come in for an interview!"... It would be so nice to have a job, a car, extra money... oh the possibilities are endless! My first appointment at the fertility gyn is this Friday.. I'm getting nervous because I don't know what they are going to say. They probably won't say much on the first appointment anyway, but I just don't want them to tell me they can't help me. I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. Chris will be leaving for a few days in the beginning on November, at least it's not for too long! I'll survive! The in laws are supposed to be coming to Virginia for Thanksgiving. I really want a holiday held at my house! :) I can't wait to cook my first Thanksgiving. Lets just hope I don't ruin the turkey! Hopefully going to see a movie this week with my love.. duty today, BOO!
I'll update again at a later date.. possibly Friday after my appointment... <3
For the first time in a year and a half, I'm looking for a job. Everyone keeps asking if I'm in school or if I work and I constantly have to explain myself. Well number one, I'm tired of explaining myself. I'll go to school when I darn well feel like it and second, I'm finally bored and finally tired of living pay check to pay check so I'm job hunting. With no luck I might add, but still hunting. I had an interview today with Super Helpers and that was just a completely unorganized and unprofessional joke of a morning. When you walk into an office and they tell you they don't know how much they will pay you for the position and when the two ladies running the office can't agree on something in front of you, it's rude. But that just means the job wasn't mean to be. I don't want to be a cleaning lady or a sales person for the rest of my time in Virginia but I was willing to clean because I enjoy it. Turns out that it wasn't for me. Chris was glad to find out that I wasn't going to work there. He didn't want me to be someones maid anyway! I got a phone call for a job this evening but it was for evening hours which I can't take while Chris is home. It's only Monday, I have the rest of the week to continue my search to have a job by my goal, which is Friday!
This was a very eventful weekend. The party at Adam and Antonio's turned a little, um, violent I guess lol. Sometimes play fighting turns out bad... don't ask questions, just take my advice! Lol.... Anyway, we had fun for a while, played nertz, did some shots, wrestled, danced, got loud, you know how parties go! :) But then, abruptly, the party was over and I took a cab home. Yes, a cab. The very first time I had ever been in a cab. Lol, lame I know.
So, Chris left today. For the first time since he got home from deployment. It's not for long though. Luckily. I don't like that he's gone. Not one single bit. But I will admit, a week is wayyyy better than seven months. I didn't even cry when he left. I was proud. I guess him being gone for seven months made me realize that I can do it and I can survive and I can wait on him, impatiently, but it's still waiting! Lol. He took me on a date last night to Red Lobster. We hadn't been out to eat since he got home and we felt like we deserved to go out and enjoy each others company in public! :) My countdown is on to the day he gets back in my arms but it's really weird that he's gone again. Talking to him through email and facebook brings back memories of deployment, even though it was only two months ago. Horrific memories! I can't explain it. If you aren't a military wife then you'll never understand what we go through on a day to day basis.
I had my ultrasound last week and I still have a cyst on my left ovary. From the picture I saw, it seems pretty big. I will get my results from the ultrasound when I see the fertility GYN on the 29th. I have to get blood drawn on the 18th, so not looking forward to that! But hey, I could be getting somewhere. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for us that we get this situation figured out!
Missing my love.. Peace! <3
Today I will officially begin my journey to get unpudgealicious! :) Yeah yeah, I know I'm not fat but I'm pretty sure regular excercise is healthy so here goes nothin! Hopefully going to the gym lasts! I freaking tennis shoes are in the truck though and Chris has the truck on base. So looks like I won't be doing any running today. I can do other excercises without shoes on and move on to the running tomorrow when I get my shoes!
On the plus side of life, I had my doctors appointment yesterday! I was a little nervous when I went in because last year the doctor just kind of blew off my concerns and basically told me I was too young to have a baby anyway and that there was nothing he could do until Chris was home for a full twelve months. Well, considering he's on the Ramage, that's never going to happen! But, I got there yesterday and had a new doctor! He started asking me questions and actually listened to what I had to say! He left the room and came back with a referral to a fertility gyno on Portsmouth! Yaye! Yaye! I have to have an ultrasound done to make sure I no longer have ovarian cysts and bloodwork done to make sure I am ovulating correctly and then I can move on the the doctor in Portsmouth! After being off of birth control for two years, I was starting to give up hope thinking that it was never going to happen. Me and Chris are in the prime age to have children. I don't want to be an old mother who isn't "cool" to her kids friends! Duh! No mom wants that! But anyway, fingers crossed, by the end of next month I know something. It will be a drawn out process but at least I now know that someone heard me out and I can see the right kind of doctor!
Ok well, since I updated everyone that kept asking how my appointment went, I think I'll find something to eat.
Well, the gym plans just changed as we speak. Going to a doctors appointment for Rebecca instead. At least I can start off the right way with tennis shoes tomorrow! :)
Peace! <3
I went to my very first air show yesterday! I had so much fun. Chris and I sat in traffic for two hours trying to get there but it was all worth it when the USN Blue Angels flew. I have only seen one other thing more amazing in my life and that was watching the USS Ramage pull in from a seven month deployment. When we got there we were starving so we stood in like forever at the gyro stand and I ate my first gyro! It was alright, but I could have done without the onions! Anyway, we ate our gyros and waited for the show to start. The USN Blue Angels started out by flying Fat Albert around for about ten minutes and then the real show started. They did some heart pounding tricks. It was amazing. I have never seen an airplane do something that amazing in my life. I know this probably is stupid to a lot of people that have been to air shows before but it was my very first one and I was utterly amazed. I was so glad that Chris was off work yesterday and we got to go together and spend the day with each other. It feels like we never do anything together anymore except stay at home like a lazy old married couple lol. I love my wonderful life with him though! I went to the air show again today with Amanda and Aiden. It seems like when me and Amanda do something we never think it through. We didn't have to wait in much traffic trying to get there today but like retards, we forgot money! Who forgets cash when you go to something like that! So we didn't have any money to get anything so drink and after we sat there for 3 hours under the hot beating after noon sun we were thirsty! Aiden got a little sunburned so we decided that we would go ahead and leave... little did we know that we would have to sit in traffic for 45 minutes trying to leave! I didn't get to watch the Blue Angels again today but I did see the new F22 Raptor fly today and some guys parachute to the ground, blowing red smoke behind them. It was fun today too.

After we finally got off base, we went to Target to get Chris a pillow for the ship because he has duty tonight. He threw his away the other day because he says it was flat and lumpy.. lol, boys. So I got him a new pillow and bought some crisco to attempt the fried chicken tomorrow night. I saw Chris on the ship for a little bit and then came home. Cricket had been horrible since I got home but she's finally asleep under the computer chair now. I made a 7 11 run with Michelle and finally added music to my blog! I'm pretty sure I've been rambling for quite a while now. That happens when you're home alone and have no one to talk to!
Peace! <3
I had a feeling that today was going to be a bad day when I woke up at 7:30 and realized I was late getting up to get Chris from the ship! Luckily, I made it in time and Cricket was so happy to see Christopher! So was I! I hate duty days so much. I'm so used to Chris being home every night now since he's back from deployment. Anyway, we got home and went back to bed for a while. Needless to say, there was no sleeping involved! Lol.. We had brunch and then went to get the oil changed in the truck. We had to wait forever, but at least Chris is here to wait with me now! He took me on a lunch date :) Which we haven't had in many months. We went to Golden Corral and I had to leave quarters for a tip, but hey, at least I didn't leave the lady with nothing! We came home and Cricket was happy that we were home! We went outside and Christopher changed the fog light in the truck and came back upstairs to start our lazy evening. Christopher is playing Nazi Zombies on the PS3 and Cricket is being super lazy today! She layed on my lap with all fours in the air. She's such a cutie and I'm so glad we finally have an addition to the Virginia Keppner family since the baby thing still isn't working out. On the plus side, I have a doctors appointment on the 20th and hopefully, fingers crossed, we figure something out! Tonight we're going to Adam's to watch Big Brother and play Nertz and COD.. which I suck at so I don't play lol! Chris has the day off tomorrow! :).. Hope everyone has a happy Labor Day!
This is my first post and obviously, I have no idea what I'm doing! I think this is an awesome idea though! It will keep everyone updated other than facebook. Hopefully I get this figured out and make it super cute! On the plus side, we didn't get hammered by Earl! I kind of wanted to see what it would be like with a totally full blown hurricane, but at least we don't have any damage to anything! We're taking Cricket to the vet to get her final puppy shot today. Hope she doesn't whine too much, I don't wanna get sad in the vets office! My poor baby! At least Chris is off work today and can go with me. He has duty tomorrow but then has the rest of the weekend off for Labor Day! Yaye! Hopefully we can get one more beach day in on Sunday before the weather turns crappy and we can't go anymore!
