1. I want to get out of our current housing sitch, I would really love to move back to Florida but hey, that's just not possible right now. We are just dealing with alot of crap right now, and I can't really get into too much of it... sorry :(

2. I have a fun filled weekend planned with the kiddo! Well... after we go back to the corn maze again with the girl scouts.

3. I wish I had more hope & faith this month than all the negativity I feel.

4. I hope for what I hope for every month... that this will be IT!

5. I wonder how many times we will go through this, and if we will ever get there. I'm getting close to trying and really am honestly ready for the break that will happen next year because of the big "D".

Wow! I just realized how depressing my MFF is! Sorry in advance! In other news, I did go to the doctor yesterday. Apparently they are a little concerned about that cyst I have on the right ovary, its been there for months now but its not hindering me just yet, so we have full clearance to go ahead with the meds and try again this month. I am trying to be hopeful. Maybe if I stop hoping it will happen? Wouldn't that be my luck LOL!

I have also been thinking of tattoo designs, yes... I am getting the itch again and what better excuse do I have than while hubby is on his D, in fact... I'm thinking I might get one that is D themed. Thoughts? Ideas? Do any of you have "military dedicated" tattoos? If so comment me and link me up to a pic or an idea. I would be forever greatful... I have a few ideas that I'm tossing around but nothing concrete yet.

We are also going back to the corn maze this weekend. The munchkin's girl scout troop has decided they want to go this weekend instead of going camping. She was a little disappointed that we were not going camping but she is excited to be doing something with her girl scout friends. I might and that's a big MIGHT set up the tent in the back yard this weekend and do some back yard camping on Saturday night. IF I can set it up... we bought this tent about 4 years ago and have never even taken it out of the box! It's HUGE too... it sleeps 8-10 people so, I'm not sure I even have enough room in the enclosed back yard. If I do try to set it up I will take pics to show... promise! I, more than anything want to make smores! We have marshmallows in the pantry and they are just staring at me every time I go in there! Saying come on Jess! Just make us! :D Trouble is... I don't have anything to roast it with... I don't think housing would allow us to dig a fire pit in the back yard and we don't have our little grill anymore (it died in our last PCS). I want to buy one of those nice wrought iron fire pits (ya know, the kind that you have on patios) but let's face it... I cannot justify buying a $80 marshmallow roaster! LOL! Any ideas on how else I can roast marshmallows? I know I can make smores in the oven, microwave, and even by solar power... but its still not the same as having a fire roasted, toasted, marshmallow!

Anyway, have a great weekend! And please do excuse the depression in my questions above... I'll get better, its just a rough patch right now. I promise to stay the same crazy, random, sometimes funny always geeky Jess that you read about :)

It's the first day of Autumn and it sure doesn't feel like it... I am disappointed lol! No, instead we have a warm, muggy, humid, below sea level, drink the air not breath it kinda day. Boooooo.

1. My favorite thing that happened this week was I made two more scentsy sales and that is always an awesome thing! The kiddo also brought home a smiley face from school (its like getting a gold star, back in my day) it means she went through her whole day being 100% good! In my book she would get one just about everyday but her teacher is pretty strict. Ok... ok... Im gonna say it, I really dislike her teacher... I think she expects too much from 5 year olds... 8 hours is a long time to sit in your chair and not move or disrupt the class. For example... she got in trouble a few weeks ago for singing at the lunch table!? I saw the note and thought... WTF!? It's lunch...? Who cares if shes singing.... unless its like loud and obnoxious but when I asked her to do it for me, she just sang her ABC's and no louder than you would if you were talking... for me, I think that's a bit harsh... what do you think?

2. Find a penny, pick it up and all day long you’ll your daughter will pick it up, insist that its a "magic penny" and will put it in her pocket only to forget about it and you will neglect to check her pockets before washing her clothes mostly because your have to only worry about checking your husbands uniform for odd's and ends he has at work ie. pens, ear plugs, gum and wrappers. And then that little magic penny will find its way into your washers drainage vent and clog it! True story... it happened last weekend and I've never been so glad to have the extended warranty on an item!

3. Autumn is officially here and my favorite part of the season is the decorations and waiting for that magic day to happen at the end of October! I have ALWAYS loved Halloween and now I love it more because I can see my cute munchkin all dressed up and take her around to get pounds of candy! :D Ohhh and cooler weather! YES!

4. One of the things I’d like to do before winter arrives is just spend as much time together as a family as we possibly can... and maybe take a trip to NOLA or maybe back to Florida to see the family.

5. I (((would/would not/might))) be willing to participate in MilSpouse Secret Santa. (sorry folks, just trying to get an idea here on how many would participate, so please circle/underline/bold one)

I'm going to leave it at a maybe right now... it is possible though... I do always like getting and giving surprises in the mail :)

1.What do you see your life like in 10 years?

That's hard to answer, because life is so unpredictable but... I hope its happy, successful and full of the people I love still. I hope I have a career I love and that my babies are doing great in school. 10 years eh... that means my munchkin now will be 15 by then... lord have mercy on me please! I remember how I was as a teenager and they always say its 10x worse when you have your own teenager. Hubs and I will have been married almost 15 years...man that is a long time to be with someone... LOL! We have come this far and its farther than I got with my ex husband so that is a good sign right? And if I have a baby next year that means he or she will be 9... wow... its weird to think of a child being that old and its not even conceived yet LOL! But if I don't have any more babies by then, I probably wont ever have any because I'll be in my 40's ;) What a great reminder... tick tock, tick tock! LOL

2.What do you like most about your job?

I love that I go to "work" in my pajamas's and sometimes don't get dressed all day. I love that I get hugged and kissed though out my "work" day. I love that my biggest argument with my "boss" is convincing her to play chutes and ladders in stead of candyland, shes wicked good at candyland... I love that the only assignments that are due by the end of the week are about learning ABC's and 123's. I love that at the end of the day I feel satisfied in knowing I do my "job" well. There is no "job" on earth better than being a mom. :)

3. What are three things you do every day, no matter what day it is?

Sleep-- probably more than I should, Eat-- waaaay more than I should, and Brush my Teeth...

4.What would you do with an extra five hours in your day today?

Have Meeeee time... I honestly think I would sit in silence, read a book, paint, draw, go shopping without having to see the toy section... LOL!

5.What is your favorite Christmas (or whichever holiday you celebrate) cookie recipe (please share!)?

I'm not gonna share that just yet... I have a post in a few days that will reveal that... I know if I post it now, you wont want to read it then so you'll just have to deal with the suspense...


...it's killing you already isnt it...? LOL!

1. If you were given $1,000 right now, how would you spend it?

Sad to say but, Id probably use it to pay off some bills. LOL! Isn't being an adult grand?

2. If you had to choose a movie title (a real one that already exists) for your life story, what would it be?

I dunno... that's kinda tough... considering my life is always changing... and so are my moods. So I'd say for yesterday it was "Armed and Dangerous"... I was at Wal-Mart getting the oil changed and the tires rotated. A 30 minute job ended up being a nearly 3 hour fiasco. Needless to say I was not to be messed with! LOL!

3. If you were a teacher, what subject would you like to teach?

Oh that's easy... ART! Or maybe Languages or History. :)

4. Has being a MilSpouse changed how you view holidays or how your holidays are celebrated? If so, how? If not, what hasn’t changed?

Yes, being a mil family we don't always get to go "home" for the holidays its just not always possible considering where we are. That is particularly hard for me... so I have come to appreciate the times that I do go home for the holidays and often cherish those times with my family more.

5.What is your favorite Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) memory?

That would be the Christmas's we spent in Germany, its just has that "magical" type feeling for me, I often feel like a kid again and its amazingly beautiful to spend Christmas in a Castle!

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In

1. If you had to be shipwrecked on a deserted island, but all your human needs – such as food and water – were taken care of, what two items would you want to have with you?

That's easy... MacGyver and my husband... because I know with both of their minds combined there's no doubt we would get home or blow up the world LOL!

2. If you were a salad, what kind of dressing would you have?

Id be either French or Italian (my two faves) ... funny there are days where I wish I would be either of these just not in a salad dressing form LOL!

3. If you had to live on a ranch, what kind of animals would you raise/own?

Probably horses. Ive always wanted to go on a cattle drive! Speaking of ranches... anyone remember that ranch tv show on Nickelodeon back in the 80's or 90's...??? I am having a brain fart remembering the name of it... but I totally loved that show!

4. If your life was portrayed as a movie, who would you choose to play you and your significant other?

Your gonna laugh but its Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and the movie is Mr. & Mrs. Smith... cause if life were movie... we would totally be a spy couple! Were more of the spy couple as in Chuck in Sarah from the tv show Chuck, but there are days where we would like to kill each other too LOL!

5. What was the last thing you put a stamp on (envelope, duh, but what was in the envelope)?

It was a letter and coloring pages that the munchkin colored, sent to my mom and dad in Florida. She LOVES sending her Omi and Papap stuff in the mail.

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In

1. Were you named after anyone?

No, mom just happen to like the name Jessica. She say's that she first picked Heather but apparently no one on her side of the family could pronounce it, German's have a hard time pronouncing the dominate H sound, H in German is actually pronounced HA... so I guess it they kept saying HA-THER (Think Arnold Schwarzenegger) LOL!

2.What color, if any, are your toenails usually painted?

Red, Pink, Chrome Blue, or Black or if I feel like getting fancy I'll do french tips...Right now they are Cherry Red ;)

3. How do you flush a public toilet? Hands? Feet? Something else?

Without a doubt FOOT! I don't care what kind of crazy twister type angle I have to get into to do it , I WILL NOT use my hand! Annnnnnnnnd that's if I absolutely HAVE to use a public toilet... and if its port-o-potty forget it! Id rather be cath'ed or pee my pants. I have a BAAAAAAD hang up about public restrooms. I wish we had toilets here in the states like they do in Italy... they have a foot pump on the floor, no hand touching necessary!

2. When you were a little kid, which TV character did you have a crush on?

LOL! OMG do I HAVE to have to answer this! Its soooooo embarrassing... ok ok.... don't twist my arm... It t'was... Mario Lopez, AKA A.C Slater from Saved by the bell. I guess it was those hot spandex and parachute pants! LMAO! Oh What the hell was I thinking??? YUCK!!! The other is note quite as shameful and not quite a TV character back then but is now and is also a movie star. In fact I still think he looks very extremely HOTT... (Don't tell hubs) its... Mark Wahlberg from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch... you remember... good vibrations??? In case you don't here's the video. Please enjoy the eye candy, even if it is from the early 90's LOL! ;)





5. Let’s say you had to lose one of your five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell). Which one would you choose? Why?

Hmmm... that's a tough one. Definitely not sight or hearing I can't bare the though that I wouldn't be able to see my daughter grow up or hear her laugh. I wouldn't want to lose touch either because I love Kisses (among other things) from the hubs (what?! HUGS... geez guys! LOL) ;) Hmmm either taste or smell... taste or smell... um, um, um... I guess smell. That way I cant eat all the gross vegetables and be suuuuuuuuper skinny! LOL

1. A different twist on last week’s question. This week, the first question is: what’s the nicest thing a MILSPOUSE has ever done for you? (brought to you from navy_smurfette)

I'd like to start off by saying that my mil spouses are a life saver, a BFF, and become like family. Its funny because you usually don't get to spend more than a few years together but you really do become so close. I appreciate those of you who have saved my behind in my sometimes sticky situations, been there for me through thick and thin, made holidays special when we couldn't be with our own family, laughed with me over stupid hair dye jobs gone wrong (I'm famous for that btw) gone on midnight drive thru adventures with me, and had some great times with me. And to all my milspouse blogger friends... thanks for following me and being interested in my life. :)

So I'd have to say... the nicest thing a milspouse has done for me is, been a true friend... that is hard to find these days... one that will love you... even when you text them with a for help at 2am for a 4am dye job gone wrong ;)

2. How often do you drive faster than the speed limit?

LOL! Always! I mean we have a Corvette for god sakes! Just call me lead foot Jess! LOL! Seriously though, I try not too really but most of the time I just cant help it...There is a reason why I had to ride the school bus to school until I graduated high school (unless I got a ride from someone)... it was because I got 4 speeding tickets (by the same cop) in one month on a learners permit (Thank you, officer Bennett- I'll never forget you). Did you know you can get tickets with just a permit? LOL! Good grief, its no wonder my mother is Grey... I was hell on wheels... literally!

3. Did you have a nickname in school? If so, what was it?

Besides hell on wheels? LOL um... let me see... there was Jinx, Beeker (as in the muppets, because at some point I had flaming red hair) and Junk (combo word for Jess Punk).

4. If your life was a book, what would the title be and how would it end?

Hmmm.. I dunno about the title but I hope it would end with a "Happily Ever After" ;)

5. Look back (in your planner if you have one) to September 14th… what did you do that day?

That was about the time my parents paid us a visit, we took them to NOLA and lots of local stuff and the munchkin went bowling for the first time. :)

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In

1. What’s the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?

There was this one time I went to the grocery store and totally forgot my wallet... I didn't even realize it till I got to the register and the cashier had everything rung up. I dug into my purse for my wallet and felt like an idiot/loser when I realized it was at home. I asked her if I could just put the cart off to the side so I could go home and come back with my wallet to pay for the groceries, when the man behind me told me its ok, and said he'd like to pay for it. I was in total shock! The grocery tab came up to over $80 bucks! I asked him if I could have his info like an address so could find him and pay him back but he declined, smiled and said no, that's not necessary... just do me the favor and pay it forward to someone else. It was the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for me. And yes, I did pay it forward when the same thing happened to a lady who went to pay for her food at a diner I was having lunch at and discovered she had left her wallet at work, I also paid for her lunch and when she asked if she could pay me back, I said Nah... just pay it forward to someone else. These days kindness can go a long way...

2. 2. If you are having a hard time going to sleep, what do you do to help yourself?

I'll usually put in a movie and watch that till I fall asleep or I'll read.

3. 3. Name something that makes you wish you were a kid again.

Water parks, Amusement parks and the Circus! I could spend all day in the water parks & amusement parks and when I was little I LOOOOOVED the Circus!

4. 4. What is something you never believed until you experienced it?

The Paranormal... my grandma the one on my dad's side (the one who's also 90) is EXTREMELY susceptible to all things paranormal... she could tell you stories that she lived that would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up all night. I believed her... I mean she’s my grandma... what does she have to lie about right? But I was always kinda a skeptic. I'm just too logical to think things are weird like that... don't get me wrong I'm fascinated by it but I am one to "De-bunk" things before thinking it’s something weird... until I experienced it all for myself. Like Gram it didn't happen to me till I was in my teenage years... and just like her it hit me all of a sudden and then I couldn't get it to stop. It has died down over the years, I think I'm now used to it. I still look at the logical perspective first (always) but I know there is just some things there are no explanations for... there is more than just us in the flesh and blood walking around here.

5. 5. What can’t you say “no” to?

That's easy... my daughter...especially when she gives me those puppy dog eyes... god! How can anyone resist puppy dog eyes! LOL!

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In

1. Are you a night owl or an early bird? Ooooh definitly not an early bird... so defy night owl... is that like anything past midnight? LOL! I'm trying to pry the college student pulling all nighter's outta me. ;)

2. What makes you jealous? Jealous? I don't think I'm really jealous of anything. I might get a little green with envy sometimes... like all the lovely ladies I know that are currently pregnant or just had babies or my friends that get stationed over seas (ie. Japan, Germany & England)... you know who you are LOL! But jealous...no... that's just too malicious. LOL

3. Have you started Christmas/holiday shopping yet? When will you finish? (There's only
63 days left!) Technically yes and no... the hubs has just bought me a new droid phone and I couldn't be more thrilled! I can't wait till my vibrant gets here! Oooh I love him! I love him! I love him!!! But me... I haven't started yet... he's very difficult to buy for. Which brings me to another point... I currently don't work (SAHM) so I feel slightly silly buying him a gift when its technically his money (because he earns it) even though its "our" money, well because were married and share everything. Anyone else feel this way too? Meh, I'm sure its the thought that counts right... not who's pocket it comes from right?

4. What would you have a personal chef make you tonight? Oooh that's a good one... what do I want... its funny... I'm not really craving anything, which is rare! But, if I had to pick I guess Id go with... Kung Po Chicken with a side of Lo Mein and an Egg Roll. :D

5. Where was your first kiss? Woah... talk about flashback! Technically it was Kindergarten, this boy named Josh kissed me on the cheek but I guess that doesn't really count does it? My first for REAL kiss was from my husband... yup, thats right! I'm one of the few (probably) that can say he was the first boy I kissed and he will be the last. It was during one of the many summers we spent together, in his mom and dad's pool in the backyard. He was probably like 11 and I believe I was 10. Oooh the memories!

1. What are some things on your bucket list? (from New Girl on Post)

I need to actually sit down and write out my bucket list but some of the things off the top of my head are; Visit Africa and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Own my own Suzuki GS500 (its my favorite kind of bike), To spend at least a week on the beaches of Phuket Island Thailand... its so beautiful there... (that's where they filmed the movie the beach!) Be in movie (even if its just as an extra) and Own a home that has secret passages and secret rooms!

2. How long have you been a MilSpouse and where have you been stationed so far? (from Raising Roscoe)

I have been a MilSpouse for 4 years :D We have been stationed together at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City Oklahoma, Fort Gordon Army Post in Augusta Georgia, and Keesler AFB in Biloxi Mississippi. I feel fortunate to have experienced living in all these different places, I loved them all for different reasons. I loved Oklahoma because it was so far away from where I have always lived... it was my first time moving away from my home state in Florida. The climate was soooo different and I LOOOOOOVED shopping there LOL! I loved Georgia because I made some of the best friends I will ever have there, I loved fall there, its so beautiful and colorful! And I love Keesler because I love my house here... its brand new and by far the best Ive ever lived in. Ive made great friends here, I have a good spouses group here... the commanders wife rocks, shes just like one of the girls and not at all like some of the stuck up ones Ive met before... bottom line I feel very comfortable around her. Oh and the BEACH! LOL!

3. What is a list of songs that sums up your life so far? (from Confessions of a Sailor’s Wife)

ZOMG! There is just too many to name... maybe later I'll put together Jess's soundtrack... but for now there's just too many. Im sure more than half of them are old punk songs LMAO!

4. What is your favorite kind of pizza?

Oooh either... Buffalo Chicken, NYC White (like my cousin Mike makes... yes, I have a "Pauly D" Jersey Shore type cousin in the family-- hes by marriage so don't hold it against me LMAO!)
or a pizza with mushrooms, black olives, green olives and ham on it! YUM!

5. What are three good things in your life right now?

My Family, My Health and that were all doing ok... so many other people have so much less and I'm just thankful that I am so lucky.

1. What is the longest road trip you've ever taken?

The longest road trip I've ever taken was literally across country.

It was from here:To there...

It was when a friend and I drove my friend's brother's car up to him in Fort Lewis, WA . We took 2 cars and it was about 3,700 some miles. It was fun but loooong! On the way back we took this route...

With a side pit stop in Vegas :)

2. Do you collect anything? Tell us a bit about it.

I sure do... I collect postcards! I have little over 1,000 postcards. I go through a website called postcrossing.com (you can see the link on my side bar) and swap postcards with people all over the world. Best postcard I ever got was from Hell, Norway ;) Yes there really is a Hell and its apparently in Norway! LOL I also collect pressed pennies. Yeah, you've seen them mostly at touristy type places and souvenir shops.

Welcome to Hell, watch out for the trolls! ;)

This is a few of pennies in my collection, I think I have over 150 now.

3. What is your favorite part about being an adult?

That's easy to answer... being a mom. Not that you HAVE to be an adult to be a good mom. I honestly believe this was something I was always meant to be. I love everyday that I'm with my little munchkin and I'm hate the days when we have to be apart, which is also why I choose to be a SAHM. I will be honestly depressed a bit when she goes off to Kindergarten next year. I can't wait to have another!!!

4. What song brings a tear to your eye?

Hmmmm... Songs usually don't make me cry... I mean I do get emotional over them but I usually don't cry. But one that does hit the heart is Nickleback's If Today was your last day. It just reminds me of Jim and it makes me sad.

5. Describe your first plane ride (how old you were, where you were heading, etc).

Oh that would be the big move from Germany to the States. I was 5 and Dad retired from the Army and we were headed to the states to live. ZOMG! I remember feeling so nervous! It was the first time I would meet my grandparents on my dad's side and any of my dad's family. It was also my first time going to an American Kindergarten. Oh and I didn't speak any English! You see my mom is German and my dad is American. My mom's English vocabulary was VERY limited and seeing how my dad's MOS (*cough* *cough* special forces) kept him from me ALOT when I was little I grew up speaking German as a first language. When we got to the states mom and I learned English together ;)

1. What is the silliest get-up you have ever worn outside of a Halloween party? (from To The Nth)
Hmmm, I dont think I've ever worn a costume publicly unless it was Halloween, so I have to think back to my high school days when it was "Spirit Week" and we did clash day. ZOMG! I had some crazy outfits!

2. What is something that you gave up in order to live the military lifestyle? (from Pennies from Heaven)
Seeing my family all the time, it especially kills me to not be close to my mom. My friends, my home town and all the comforts of what use to be home. On the other hand, I wouldn't trade it for the world. When I married my husband not only did I get the man of my dreams but I got an awesome future with it, a chance to see different places, become well rounded , and make lots of friends in lots of places.

3. If money wasn’t a factor and you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? And why? (from Life and Times of a Displaced Jersey Girl)
Oooh this is so easy for me to answer! It would be to Africa! Ive always wanted to see Africa and its culture & people. Id love to see the Serengeti and climb Mount Kilimanjaro!

4. If you were going to join the military, what branch would you join? Or which MOS/rating would you choose? (from And You Never Did Think)
The Air Force... that was my dream along time ago. And at the time I wanted to be a pilot. And now if I could pick my job it would be Medic. :)

5. What is your favorite thing to make for dinner? (from Armendinger Party of 4)
My moms food... which is usually German. Stuff like Schnitzel, Goulasch &... Curry Wurst. I also love to make food that my friends have taught me how to make. Recently I made one of my BFF's dishes of Picadillo with Plantain Chips. She was back door neighbor (like literally she lived across the grass from me) she is from Cuba and this is one my favorite dishes that she makes. Its comfort food really... when I miss my mom or my friends, I make it. <3

I'm such a NOOB!

I have discovered there is alot of pretty cool things that people do on blogspot. I feel like such a noob for just getting into the swing of blogging... but hey, we all start some where right?

I see that alot of women do "Milspouse Fill in Friday" post and it got me thinking, hey I could do this thats fun! :)

So here it is... my "Milspouse Fill in Friday" -- Oh I just hope I do this right. lol.



1. What characteristic about yourself has either been strengthened or weakened due to your experience as a Military Spouse? (from The Albrecht Squad)

Patients, Patients, Patients! Its not my best virtue... It's that whole "hurry up and wait" thing that the military makes every spouse do. Your on pins and needles when they say there's a possibility of the big D. You suddenly move around schedules, change plans and vacations and make a game plan for the next 6 months to suddenly put it on the back burner when they say "oh oops not this month... but it might be oh, sometime in the next 6 months... be prepared" Or hey, its my birthday, hes been TDY for the last 2 months and he's due to come home the day before to find out that "Ooops we made a mistake, were gonna keep him for another 2 weeks".
On the other hand... it has strengthened me. I can cut the grass myself, put together furniture, fix minor car problems and take care of a child all on my own. The thing Ive learned... is to make the best out of this life as you can. Oh and whatever you do... don't let the movers pack your trash can with trash in when you PCS! ... not speaking from experience or anything... lol! ;)

2. What is your favorite vacation spot and why? (from ‘Tis the Life of the Army Wife)

My favorite vacation spot has been Europe... mostly because I love to visit my family. Im actually 1/2 German. Yes, really... my mother is German and my father is American, they met in Germany while he was stationed over there while in the Army. Yup another fact; Im a military brat ;) I love going back, I miss it alot... especially when its been a while since my last visit. Some of my best summers has been spent overseas in Europe and I wouldn't trade that for the world.
In 2005 my mom and I vacationed to Germany and we took 2 side trips. First to Rome Italy which was incredible! The Colosseum, The Pantheon, The Roman Forum, The Piazza Navona... the food alone is worth the trip! The other side trip was to Galtür Austria, one of the most charming skiing communities Ive ever seen. The view atop the Alps is just breath taking! The skiing and the snow boarding was awesome... but I liked the snow ball fights the best ;)

3. If you could have any fast-food restaurant in the food court on base/post what would you pick? (from The Only Pink in a House of Blue)

Hmmm... I would have to go with Chick-Fil-A. Ooooh how I love Chick-Fil-A... we used to eat so much of it at one time our family would call it Crack-Fil-A! LOL! I just hate that they are closed on Sundays, only because that seems to be the day my brain thinks of craving it. Now, if you asked my hubby he would tell you Hooters. Yes, I know hooters is not exactly fast food but he would love seeing a wing place at the food court. He loves hooters and he swears its because of the wings. ;) lol.

4. Where did you go on your honeymoon? (from Pennies from Heaven)

Haha! This is pretty funny for me... we actually didn't have a honeymoon. We were married by the JOP, it wasn't quite a shotgun wedding but close to it ;) After being married for almost 5 years we are currently still waiting to go on a "Honeymoon" and if I could pick a place to go it would be on a cruise. I went once with my mom when I turned 21 and it was amazing! I would love to go with the hubs, I know he would love it.

5. If you could have any job in the world regardless of money, degree or experience, which job would you have and why? (from Proud to Be a Navy Family and The Calm Before The Storm)

When I was little and thought of growing up I wanted to be rock star, a fighter pilot (I watched alot of Top Gun... it is my favorite movie) a karate kid, and an astronaut. Since none of those seemed to have panned out for me... I decided some time ago, I would go into the medical field.
As it turned out.. I liked it! So my dream job would be Rad Tech... which is actually what Im going to school for. Or a PNP (Pediatric Nurse Practitioner) who works for Doctors without Borders.
