Let's Play Catch Up

I haven't updated my blog since June. The month after Chris left. It's now November. Holy cow! Since Chris left I feel like I've been busy, but honestly, I don't think I have. I'll just do a month by month update! :)


July:
Paige and Nathan came to visit.
I was rear ended in Chris' truck.
I was admitted in to Langley Hospital for a ruptured ovarian cyst.
My sister and my dad came to visit for the first time since I've live in VA. We had a fantastic time. I wish they could have stayed longer!


August:
Michelle and I went to Illinois/Missouri.
I had emergency surgery in Carbondale, IL for severe endomtriosis, endometriomas, chocolate ovarian cysts, and a blocked fallopian tube.
I had my follow up appointment two weeks later and made the trip back to VA. 


September:
I went to GREECE!!!! :) That's right! I went to see my amazing husband for ten days.

18 hour flight, but it was all worth it. I drove to Illinois (14 hours) all by myself to get my dog, and back!


October:
Pretty much sucked, I can't remember anything exciting that happened. My cousin turned 21 and I wasn't there to party it up with him. I went with my friend Chelsey to take her little boy trick or treating for Halloween.


November:
And now we're in the current. Yesterday I had a job interview, now we wait. I really hope I get it! :) Wish me luck! My sister in law is at the hospital having her baby as we speak. I'm about to be an Aunt! :)


I can't say how many days are left until Chris comes home, but let's just say I'm extremely ready for 2012 to roll around! I miss him so much! Oh and BTW, I'm no longer selling Scentsy. So if you need a new consultant, let me know. 

One week down..

Yesterday made one week that Chris has been gone. A lot has happened since he left. Wait, that's a lie. Nothing has happened since he left. I've been bored out of my mind trying to do anything to stay busy. I mowed the yard and I took the trash cans to the street. I guess that's something. It's been an emotional week, no matter what angle I look at it from. I guess I have been a little busy, maybe. I finally unpacked the last two boxes that had stuff in them for the spare room and got the stuff hung on the walls. I've done some laundry, the dishes, cleaned the floors, watched a lot of TV and spent plenty of time at Michelles or swinging in my back yard. My sister is coming in a week though, I'm so excited about that! We've been in VA for over two years now and she hasn't been out to visit. That's all about to change! Yay! She's going to stay here for a week and then we're traveling back to Illinois together. I'm going to stay there for about two weeks and then head back to VA. Paige is tagging along for the ride back. :) June should be a pretty quick month to get through.. if only I didn't have like six months left after that. Boooooo. The best thing about going to Illinois is that I get to spend time with my Behong! I'm so excited. It's Mindy's birthday on the 27th of June so we are going to party hardy and have a grand time since we never get to see each other anymore. Another negative to the Navy. Anyway, just thought I'd give everyone a little bloggy blog to see how my life is. Counting down the days until he's back in my arms! 

Missing you everyday and loving you with every beat of my heart. Your wifey and Cricky baby can't wait to see you when you! 

Today..

Today was the day. The "See you later" day. The day where I have to start living OUR life on my own for the next several months. The day that I start counting down until I'm back in your arms. I love you Christopher Andrew. Hugs and kisses. I miss you already. 

Watching you walk away is never easy but I can't wait to watch you walk right back in to my arms. I'll be waiting. I love you.

Fair winds and following seas. Be safe. See you soon.

The new house! :)

Just a warning, I suck at carrying the computer around to shoot a video and there is an interuption because the satellite guy showed up so there is two videos.. I'm not a video professional so I don't know how to start and stop the same one yet.. sorry! Lol.. Hope you enjoy! It's not completely put together yet but lots of people have been asking for pictures and stuff so I'm posting this early. Ignore the mess, I'll get everything done eventually!!

 

I got gutsy, here's a video blog!

Well I finally did it. After telling myself I didn't have the guts to do it, I did it. Megan Born inspired me! :) It's pretty lame and I didn't say much but now that I've done it once, I'll be able to do it again! I do have to say it's pretty fun! Sorry I have ghetto skank hair, it was a spur of the moment thing! Enjoy!

Helping some fellow bloggers!

I would just like to share with you all the blog of two fellow Navy wives and friends of mine! :)

I hope everyone is well. I'm in the process of moving and it's been hectic. Chris is gone for a while and deployment is creeping up.. :( It's going to be a sad day in our neighborhood.

Got a little catching up to do.

I'll start this post out with a little funny.. although so true :)

On to the semi bad, partially glad, a little ticked off news.. I got fired. Yeah, you read right. FIRED. How lame is that? I'm sure you're wondering why since I'm absolutely amazing and all.. It's so retarded! You've been warned, this is stupid.. The other day when I was at work the bug lady came in to get the keys to go spray the apartments that needed sprayed. I gave her the keys, she left the office. About an hour later she comes back in, has me sign off on the paper and she leaves. She walks out the door and like two minutes later I realize, shit! I don't have the keys. So I call her and she brings them back. End of story. Not a big deal to me. I didn't even think to tell my boss because I was just like oh whatever, I have the keys back. She calls me the next day because she found out about it and apparently had to write me up and the head boss said to fire me because that was not excusable because the lady could have taken the keys and had copies made and break into those peoples apartments. I mean come on people, that lady leaves with apartment keys all the time. Who is to say that she is actually spraying the apartments when she says she is? She could just as easily go to the store and gets keys made when she is supposedly spraying peoples apartments. See, told you it was stupid. Oh well. I'm a little relieved because I was worried I wouldn't get to spend some time with Chris before he left just in case he did happen to get some time off.. not likely, but could be possible. At least I got one full pay check out of them before they "let me go" and I'll get another partial check in two weeks. 

Sooo anyway, more news.. We found a house to rent. I looked at it earlier today and took some pictures to show Chris. This evening we went back over there and the guy let us look at it again that way Chris could actually see it instead of just seeing pictures. I'm in love with it. It's not huge and it's not new but it's a place that I can make home. Three bedrooms, one for us, one for my sewing stuff and the computer and the other man cave/spare room. It has a fenced in back yard so Cricket will be able to run around and play and not have to be on a leash! As long as everything goes right we will be able to move in May 15th.. Chris will only have a few days to stay there before he has to leave :( But at least he'll be here to help me move our stuff over there. It's not too far from where I live now so it should be fairly simple to get everything over there in one day if we try hard enough. I hate moving but at least it's to a house this time instead of another apartment. 

I guess I better finish up the laundry so I can get in bed and wake Chris up in the morning, he has duty. Oh joy.. not. Have a lovely night everyone! Oh and I won't post tomorrow so Happy Easter!

I'm a big girl now!

So the job interview that I told you all about in my last post... I GOT THE JOB!! :) I'm so excited. Hopefully I really like the job and I'm not all excited for nothing, but yaye! I'll be a leasing consultant at Great Bridge Apartments. The lady in the office that interviewed me seemed really nice and she was very impressed with me even though I've never had a job like this before. I had decided that if she called and offered me the job that I was going to turn it down.. I was supposed to move back to Illinois while Chris is deployed this year and then I got the interview for the job and I realized I wouldn't save any money if I stayed here even if I was working so I had decided if she called and said the job was mine that I was going to tell her no but I just couldn't make myself do it! I was too excited. This is my chance to actually help with bills and extra stuff we want to do. I know all families are different but when we got married Chris's money became our money but there has just been a part of me that wanted to pitch in. Now I get that chance! I'll figure out the housing situation, last minute I'm sure, but I will. :)

Chris got more of his tattoo done today. It's getting to be crunch time so hopefully he gets it completely done before he goes on deployment. I get to get more of mine done on April 7th. Hopefully I get mine done too because I'm impatient! I'm just ready to see the finished project! It's taking forever to get them finished because they are so big and the place we are going is so busy but I definitely recommend Rocksteady Tattoo if you're up for getting ink!

Oh deployment, how I hate you.

It seems like Chris just got home and in less than two months he'll be gone again. With Insurv, no pom period and underways, that two months is going to fly by and before I know it, I'll be standing there watching until I can't see the ship anymore. Until you've felt it, you'll never understand the feeling. I thought I was going to type a whole blog on how I hate deployment but now that I've started typing I'm speechless.. It's too overwhelming to think about so I won't blog about it until it's here, in a few short weeks.. :(

On the brighter side of life, I saw the fertility specialist earlier this week. We have a plan now for the next year. Hopefully I won't have to put part of that plan in to action, but I feel better knowing that there is hope and something can be done! :)

After sending out what feels like hundreds of resumes, I finally got a call back! I had an interview at an apartment community to be a leasing agent yesterday! I'll finally have a big girl job if this thing goes through! Get up early, dress nice, get a real paycheck.. holy cow! Lol. I'm expecting a phone call by noon today giving me the 100% yes you got the job, so keep your fingers crossed people! I'll have three jobs if this works out! Scentsy, babysitting Hannah, and the leasing agent job. 

Don't forget to order Scentsy! :)

Well hello, it's been a while!

I haven't posted a blog since October. I'm totally slacking in the blogging world. But hey, I'm back! Quite a bit has happened since I last posted so I guess I have some catching up to do. Since I last posted we had Thanksgiving, Christmas, our two year anniversary, Chris's 21st birthday, infertility doctor appointments, and Friday is a two week underway.. JOY for the Navy, not.

We had a small Thanksgiving at our apartment. Chris, John, Don (Michelle's dad) and myself. I made a Turkey for the first time and it was really good if I do say so myself! I was so excited to finally have a holiday at my house. The in laws were supposed to come out but thanks to the lovely ship schedule, that was unable to happen but we did make it there for Christmas!

While we were in Illinois we got new tires on the truck and dual exhaust put on. Pretty exciting! :)

On December 22nd, Christopher and I celebrated two wonderful years of marriage and he celebrated his 21st birthday. I always joke with him that we got married on his birthday so he could never forget our anniversary lol. We had lunch at Applebees and then of course hit up Wal Mart and Schnucks for alcohol! We had a few friends come out to his parents house. We had a good time. Including Chris puking on the fireplace... haha. 

We saw all of our family while we were home this visit and had good Christmas's at quite a few places. It was a nice trip this time. We really weren't ready to come home,  but unfortunately, duty calls.

Chris was on duty on New Years Eve so I spent it with David, Michelle, Adam, Antonio, and Cory. We played pong and flip cup and just had a good ole time ringing in the new year! 2011! 

There isn't much of an update on my doctors appointments. At least not updates that I want to talk about with everyone right now. But don't worry, a baby isn't out of the question. :)

My Scentsy business is going pretty well. I would like to get more business so tell all your friends and family that I'm a consultant and to contact me if they are interested in placing an order or hosting a party! My personal website is skeppner.scentsy.us so order now and order often! Right now I personally am offering a half price warmer if you schedule a party with me for January. The company is offering double the half price items for the month of January so this is definitely the month to have a party! Bring Back My Bar is also going on this month so if you are already a Scentsy buyer and there is a discontinued smell that you are just dying to have again, check out the list, it might be back for a short time only! Also the Hugs and Kisses warmer is 10% off this month so order it for your Valentine!

I also want to give a shout out to the sailors on board the USS Enterprise CVN 65 who are leaving out on deployment tomorrow. Be safe and it'll be over before you know it. We'll miss you Tony Baby! P.s. I'll mail you boxes!

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful holiday season and this year brings wonderful things to you all! <3
