2009

Wow it's already 2009!! This past year went by so fast. And this year is going to be amazing! I just got engaged on 12/20 and now i have our wedding to plan and that's going to make the year go by so fast. AND most important above all Brian will graduate from school and hopefully be here in JULY for good, then the next time he leaves I will be going with him where ever he gets stationed. This year brings so much change. My brother just moved 7 hours away, my parents are moving, I will be getting married and moving either to Maryland or Hawaii. I love change and this is just an overload of it. Some of it is harder to accept but it's going to be a wonderful new chapter in my life to come and I'm super excited. I'm scared of not knowing but it's something I'm learning to accept in my life. All the unknown of when Brian will be here for sure, not knowing where we will be sent until August or later. Wow. 2008 was a great year, spending time with family, learning more about myself, and of course getting engaged to the LOVE of my LIFE!! :) I can't wait to see what this year brings!!

SO Brian gets here tomorrow. I'm soo super excited!! It's only been 5 months but it feels like way longer! Like forever and a day! But I am so lucky compared to many girlfriends/boyfriends/wives/husbands of those who serve in the military. Brian isn't somewhere overseas and I never get to talk to him he is only in Cali and I get to talk to him everyday. I'm lucky. But I cant' help but to just whine a little how I haven't seen him in 5 months. I don't know what I would ever do if I had to go longer without seeing him and talking to him everyday. I think I'm a strong person but those who loved ones are overseas fighting and can't talk everyday or see for a year or longer are so much stronger and I look up to them so much for what they go through everyday.

But he does get here tomorrow and I'm filled so so so so much excitement and I know everyone will probably want to kill me all day tomorrow but it's ok. I have tried and warned everyone so I hope they realize how excited I'm going to be. He is the man of my dreams and I'm so ready for him to finally get here. I feel like half of me is always missing and the two weeks he is going to be here I'm going to be a whole piece again. AMAZING. I love Brian. ♥♥

Habitat for Humanity

This morning everyone( well just about everyone) I work with we went and helped with Habitat for Humanity. This was the first time I have ever done this and at first I was very worried and had no idea what I might be doing. But it was the most amazing thing I have ever done. I helped paint a mural of cars. At first I looked at the drawing on the wall and was worried I didn't want to mess anything up for this little boy, Joey, I wanted everything to be perfect for him in his new house and room. But it turned out AMAZING!! Joey was happy his mom was happy and I'm just so excited that he has a new home and loves his cars on his wall. I can not wait to participate in another one!

Strep.

So my body decided to get sick. It was horrible.. I found out I had strep. The worst thing in the world for me. I can never get rid of it and have it for several months at a time, but thankfully it's going away. OH i hate being sick.

The Night Before Thanksgiving

Well so I went over to hang out with my family and grandma, my mom, and I started drinking Hellfires.. If you haven't ever had one you should they are amazing. So we stayed around the house drank hellfire and played Phase 10 it was a great combination.. Lol! So eventually I had my sister bring me home and I then made two pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. Oh what an experience. Drunk and making pumpkin pies.. lol :) So i managed to make them only spilled a little of the filling everywhere.

Thanksgiving was amazing I love the food.. oh the ham was amazing. And most of all I got to spend time with my family and that's the most important thing ever to me.
