I wear his t-shirts at night so I can feel him hold me, thats how much I love him.

So the hubs has been TDY this week to Alabama (its only for a few days) its not the first time he’s had to leave, and it definitely wont be the last, it isn’t the shortest time Ive been without him and it isn’t the longest time either, but never the less I miss him. Every time he has to leave it reminds me of how much I love him, not because Im lonely, not because Im bored, not for lack of adult conversation… its just simply that I love him. I miss him when hes not around, I miss looking over at him on the other end of the couch and catching his smile or seeing him come home from work, giving me a hug and a kiss and then talking about our day. I miss his smile, I miss his hugs, I miss his kisses, I miss his smell… I miss kicking him off the bed at night…. yes, our bed is TOO big without him. I wear his t-shirts at night so I can feel him “hold” me… thats how much I love him. Cant wait to see him on Friday.

A Feel Good Movie

I watched the blind side tonight. It was amazing, it was heartfelt and humbling and I bawled my eyes out through most of it. The story was like a life lesson, one that I needed to be reminded of. It now ranks high on my list of favorite movies. I like that its based on true facts and that its not just a story someone made up. This was a mans life, it was his big chance at a real life. Sandra Bullock I think does superbly as “Momma” and Ive never seen Tim McGraw act before but hes does an excellent job as supporting actor and the husband. Quinton Aaron the man who plays Michael Oher (yes, as in the real NFL player for the Baltimore Ravens) really delivers in this movie. His performance is amazing and not only does he deliver the lines, he says them in such a way as to make you wanna gasp every time… just a bit. The story its self is a “rags to riches” kind and has some of the best “life’s messages”. Just watch it, you will be impressed, humbled and a bit more thankful for the “family” that you have. No matter who they are.

I could use either a blueberry eggo or a strawberry poptart right about... NOW!

Busy Little Beeeeeeeeez!

It has been very, very busy since Memorial Day. The Friday before it my in-law came in town and Saturday we took them & our friends down the street to New Orleans. We walked the French Quarter in blistering 98 degree weather and checked out the Aquarium, which was cool but not all that impressive. I honestly believe they wanted waaaaaay too much for their tickets. They make it so you almost have to buy a yearly pass… which was exactly what we did. Had we not we would have paid $69.95 for 2 adult tickets and $26.95 for 1 child ticket. The year pass cost us $95.00 and gets us into both the Aquarium and the Zoo, So yeah we opted for the better deal.

Pretty awesome Bar

“What you lookin at?”

Sunday we pretty much just hung out and Monday my FIL made THE BEST BBQ pulled pork! No, really… it was freakin AWESOME! Tuesday the in-laws left for JAX and took the kiddo with them so that the hubs and I could go to his doc appointment at Pensacola NAS. Which went well yet still a very wishy-washy answer. :( We have the next step worked out, were just hoping they dont cancel on us… so keep fingers crossed and hold your breath! After the appointment we headed to JAX and later that night we attended the “Ultimate Truebie Fan Experience” … the passes I won. We didnt get to meet the cast, it was a Q & A done live from LA with the cast… they sorta lied. LOL! But we did get to see Season 2 Finale on the big screen along with a BIG sneek peek of season 3, and at the end we got goodie bags filled with lots of TB swag! That part was awesome! Wednesday we headed up to Augusta GA, to go see our friends from our last duty station. The hubs’s BFF is deploying and we wanted to see him off before he has to leave. It was good to go and Im glad we drove the 4 hours to see them I missed them alot. Thursday began the loooooooong drive home (9 1/2 hrs) we finished it up with dinner at El Ranchos and now the hubs is working on his vette and Im finishing up the house work. :sigh: I think the mini vacation is over. LOL!
