So today I am 11 weeks pregnant. I announced it last week I believe to everyone. My close friends and family knew already but I just wanted to wait until we had seen the little nugget on the u/s. This time around I have decided to change to Tricare Standard and go to a civilian doctor and OB practice. I feel confident in the doctor I have chose and am excited for this new chapter in our lives! I've had morning sickness since week six and it seems that it is subsiding. There are a few things I can't bring myself to eat, or even think about. But mostly I am chugging along trying to get my appetite back. What makes this pregnancy extra special is that my sister is pregnant too!! She is due two months before me, July 8th. I am hoping to go home for June and July to see her, have a baby shower, and enjoy her delivery ;-) Ryan's got other top secret plans for work so I need to keep myself occupied while he is playing. Rachel is having a boy so hopefully I will be having a boy too. It will make the joint shower so much easier! Well this was just a quick update. More to come later :-) Good night!Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-54032830983163032812011-01-13T13:17:00.000-08:002011-01-13T13:25:06.555-08:00New AdventuresWell I think it might be time to upgrade nicole to a twin sized bed. She is growing out of her toddler bed very fast! We are very tight on money right now and I want to find something cute and affordable but with low price comes low quality. I found a bedroom SET at K-mart for $239 in our local store. Them same set is $199 online. I am worried that if we do purchase this it won't last long. But...maybe it will last until we do have the money to spend on a real bedroom set for her. I also want her to have a twin sized bed. Ryan seems to think that the full sized guest set we have is fine for her. I have other feelings. I feel like she needs her own bedroom set, cute white, girly, small. I would like to hear everyone's opinions and advice on how to "convince" him to let me get the set I found at k-mart.

We only have one month of deployment left. CRAZY!!!! <div><br /></div><div>Things have settled down a bit since my grandparents left. I am working out double time since I didn't do much while they were here. Trying to run at least 3 miles a day. Also, tonight was the first time I had sugar in 3 days. I had some yummy peanut butter corn flake balls that Lauren brought over Sarah's tonight. Those were soooo good!! I guess it wasn't too much sugar?!?! </div><div><br /></div><div>Things are really starting to sneak up on me. I have tons of things to finish up around this house before ryan gets home, one of which is painting our bedroom. It's about 25% done and I did about 3% today during Nicole's nap. I still have a few pictures to hang and I need to set up our guest room. </div><div><br /></div><div>We've decided to save our money and stay here for the holidays. Bitter sweet but I am hoping I can convince my mom and sister to make their way here. I mean I have lived here for 5 years and they have only came out once!! I am also trying to get Ryan to take me to Maui for my (our) birthday in February. We have quite a bit of money saved up for a new roof in Florida but its looking like USAA might pay for it! Hopefully! If they do, we'll pay off our credit card and then with the extra left over I hope we can use for a trip. We'll see. I'll keep you updated! </div><div><br /></div><div>Well it's 9:30 and I am really tired...ugh im getting old. Time for bed!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Aloha! </div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-85701666816163439942010-10-12T14:19:00.000-07:002010-12-29T15:23:21.220-08:00Goodbye to Fun<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNs4-NauIl_M2qONwV-aXHPZ7kK0Uz9c0vOwlHNUnToA2KzDKPUUsEynZm7tXle2CTc0EaC5fegdD6m1gTkIgx101wv-F57mc2NEJ7sT3mO4snQBnV1V8vTsK0zkV44d-l4lZjOqZ88L8/s1600/DSC00473.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNs4-NauIl_M2qONwV-aXHPZ7kK0Uz9c0vOwlHNUnToA2KzDKPUUsEynZm7tXle2CTc0EaC5fegdD6m1gTkIgx101wv-F57mc2NEJ7sT3mO4snQBnV1V8vTsK0zkV44d-l4lZjOqZ88L8/s400/DSC00473.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556248543977671394" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxA1b80U1NhzaV4ZNuQZvmOwtGbD2W0etfOztGXxm_qMKeJkSLGI-NauDb3z4f2VJ9qsaAPHLAoKu9KLkXT4j8U4KSlyTiZeXHDXhaPTFD5G0MiCTCMIm1ver-E_Pp9sZPfH-hNhTy6gc/s1600/DSC00307.JPG"></a>My grandparents left today :-(<div><br /></div><div>We did many fun things while they were here.

So excited!! Getting so excited to paint. I keep changing my mind. I have soooo many ideas. I think I want to paint the kitchen a light blue and dining room a light brown, both of which will be contrasting colors. The living room is giving me problems. I could go with the same brown that in the dining room or a darker brown. I am just painting a 2 1/2 foot wide stripe around the middle of the room. Nicole's room is set with purple and white picket fence on one wall. She has a purple, green, and teal bathroom so I am trying to pick from that. Thinking maybe just going with the same purple so I am not stuck with 15 different gallons of paint. My room I think I will do a green or tan. Green would not match my bed spread though. Downstairs bathroom will be green and I am not sure if I am painting my bathroom yet, depends on what color I have left. Ugh I cant decide!! <div><br /></div><div>This blog was pointless, sorry. Can't wait to post pictures of the journey of painting and moving! </div><div><br /></div><div>Aloha! </div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-26128851908319871062010-08-24T01:20:00.000-07:002010-08-24T01:32:14.234-07:00Race for the Cure HawaiiOk so I have formed a team this year for the Race for the Cure in October. The event is the 17th exactly one year and one day since my Aunt lost her fight with breast cancer. This walk for me is in memory of her, all that she stood for, all that she accomplished, and for all of the pain she had to endure during her long 12 year battle. She was a mother, a wife, a daughter, an aunt, a cousin, a sister, and a friend. Every step I take on October 17th will be for her, to honor and remember her and what an amazing woman she was. Please help me and join my team if you are in Hawaii. Just go to http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=140165386000351 and click Join. <div><br /></div><div>Now for the fun part, I need a team name, any suggestions?</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" ft="{"type":"msg"}" style="font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-weight: normal; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "><span class="UIStory_Message">breast buddies,<br />sole sisters,<br />thanks for the mammories,<br /><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; ">save second base,<br />a journey of hope,<br />boobie bargade,<br />army of pink,<br />patti's angels,<br />bippity boppity boobs,<br />boo-bees,<br />boobie patrol,<br />breast savers,<br />cancer sux,<br />kickin asphalt,<br />sole patrol,<br />save the melons,<br />for the girls,<br />girls gone pink,<br />tata warriors,<br />hula hooters (we can wear hula skirts over our shorts),<br />kancer kickers,<br />peekaboobs,<br />pirates of cure-ibean,<br />SOBs save our breasts,<br />simply the breast,<br />squeezin for a reason,<br />tata sisterhood,<br />breast savers,<br />quick steppers,<br />rack pack,<br />these girls are made for walking,<br />treasured chests</span></span></h3></span></div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-19434982084029528242010-08-23T01:28:00.000-07:002010-10-21T00:42:23.629-07:00Light, Light, Light up the Sky<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">(My title is referencing a song I am listening to right now.

God has blessed me in so many ways this week and I am so thankful. <div><br /></div><div>Forest City housing called and offered me a three bedroom on Ford Island. I, and many others, have been praying for this for a while. I know it sounds silly to "pray" for a bigger house near my friends but this has just been something I have been looking forward to for a long time and when I was told I didn't qualify for a house there my heart broke. So finally after maybe 2-3 weeks, I was blessed with a house, a perfect house. I move in the 4th. I am so excited to paint and decorate, and have a house warming party. I truly am so blessed! </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_phWqUq9RGuTGztRwHPDYLbXKYZ65LnmAo5fH_X9tN3QIsujLFuZ3Hved-mfQIam7ndvgmYOVlmwU4-CEMTJVP54DpGYX-p3Bcxb9N4imhOxzEOBZPAVd1JOb3oQZZ4ADlSSSGABEo_w/s320/photo-3.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508524482266334050" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px; " /></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjg5bAJd0IU2pFpGwLf9ZXubwj5rDiZD5Uf3ssQJBzpkKjOWr52pcYe5e7QovKuk_MwQaY3MkByqHKqB8rMKIuKVqOtDBQCZA1ZNdNmuNVx6ciKHjIxDp5NlXMPmxQGSdUqkTlsgqYTg/s320/photo-2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508524101000052434" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Nicole has been doing so great at swim class this past week.

The primary offer is the "A" family. The A family placed an offer back in April but Bank of America kept countering them at $251k, so they said forget it and walked away. The A family is now offering a whopping $225k, seriously? They WILL get countered at $251k again. If not higher. I feel like this is just a waste. We have a second offer for $235k. This is considered a back up offer incase the A family is not willing to pay what BoA counters at. Now we have a second back up offer for $255k. Seriously I know the 3rd offer will get approved but we have to wait for the other two people to drop out first. This is a waste of time, why can't we just put in the highest offer and get this over with!! It is looking like I will not be out of my condo before my grandparents get here. </div><div><br /></div><div>:-( </div><div>I just need to catch a break! </div><div><br /></div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-30436624458777727402010-08-12T23:51:00.000-07:002010-08-13T00:36:12.435-07:00Sad Goodbye<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;">Today Nicole and I said "Aloha" to one of our favorite families here on Oahu, The Stanford's.

I know it's not something you want to read about but here's the timeline of my tummy sickness:<div><br /></div><div>9:45pm (tues)- put nicole to bed at 9 and then lay down in my bed because I have an overwhelming feeling of yuck in my stomach. Try to go to sleep, hold in the yuck. Can't sleep so..</div><div>10:30pm- Here comes the yuck! </div><div>10:45pm- Cleaned up and passed out</div><div>12:03am- More Yuck</div><div>12:20am- More Yuck</div><div>1:13am- More Yuck and a lot this time</div><div>2:33am- Hubby finally gets online and we talk for a bit</div><div>2:51am-More Yuck then I finally get to sleep</div><div>6:15am- Nicole wakes up (this is extremely early for her) She asks for milk and I nearly pass out in the kitchen making it. I had to run to the toilet and grab my barf bowl while her milk was heating in the microwave. She did not go back to sleep after this but did bring me my water as I was drenched in sweat with a bowl full of yuck. </div><div>7:15am- We get out of bed after she watched Mickey on the computer and I try and sleep some more. </div><div><br /></div><div>The rest of the day I felt like poo and couldn't bring myself to eat anything. It was miserable. I was cold, then hot, then cold again, now im cold but my feet are burning. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now I bet that was interesting. I am off to bed now since I didn't get much sleep. The white bowl will come with me just incase! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-57664575458004808692010-08-08T21:38:00.000-07:002010-08-08T21:40:51.703-07:00For Sale....My house has been for sale, just thought I would share it with you. The pictures were taken before we moved in when the Tolbert's lived here. Enjoy! <div><br /></div><div>http://hicentral.com/properties/prop_detail.asp?listnum=1002714&type=mls#</div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-58040464971490099422010-08-07T12:28:00.000-07:002010-08-07T12:43:32.854-07:00What have I done!So after living with my new hair cut for a few days I have begun to realize that I do not like it. It is high maintenance and I just can't get the straighter to work right for me. I am going to shove hair growing vitamins down my throat for the next month and hope it grows out some before my grandparents get out here. Never again will I get an a-line hair cut. It is cute when the girl fixes it but for some reason I am not as talented as the hair dresser. :-)<div><br /></div><div>I've been using this new supplement called Jacked 3d. It gives me loads of energy but is not switching my brain into motivational mode. Like yesterday I got a lot of laundry done and all of my phone calls made and class sign ups done. Wish it will get my legs moving and out the door to work out. </div><div><br /></div><div>I added 2 classes to my fall semester so now I am taking 4. They only overlap for 3 weeks so I have two fall A classes and two fall B classes. I just want to be done already. I think in the spring once Nicole starts pre-school I will be able to get more done and actually be able to take real classes and not online classes, you can only go so far with online classes in the nursing field. </div><div><br /></div><div>I signed nicole up for private swim lessons. So exciting! It was pretty cheap 9 lessons for $55 except it is out in the middle of no where. Well not really no where, it's in Kahuku which is 45 mins from my house. And this will be every Mon, Wed, and Fri. It is only for 3 weeks so I guess it wont be so bad. And hopefully she will learn something!! </div><div><br /></div><div>Well off to the post office, and I guess I will wear my running shoes and take nicole to Central Oahu Regional Park for a little jog and then play time at the park. Looking forward to game night tonight and having some fun. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-92004778808444676342010-08-06T11:25:00.000-07:002010-08-08T02:11:31.403-07:00Impossible PossibilitiesOk....so for the impossible part:<div><br /></div><div>It is currently 8:26am. I have a housing appointment at 8:30am in Kaneohe...I do believe it is impossible to make my appointment. Morning are not good for me. Especially when I live 45 mins away. I am just going to get out of her as soon as I can and do a walk in. Hoping I get put back to 1st priority and I get a house in the new neighborhood by my Dayna ;-) Ford Island did not work out the way I thought it would...if we had another kid or Ryan was E7 they would have gladly put me there. But you know, Chief results are supposed to come out today...at least rumor has it.....so maybe, maybe, by some miracle of God Ryan makes it! I have so many friends waiting for good news and I hope all of us get it! </div><div><br /></div><div>Possibilities:</div><div><br /></div><div>So I have seriously been slacking on diet and exercise. I feel horrible and gross and ugly. I need to recommence Operation Sexy Wife. It's so hard, I feel like I am so busy. My last full day at home was LAST Friday and by the time I get home it is dark and too late to go out for a run or walk. And like I said before, morning are horrible in the Bruno's house. I NEED NEED NEED to make time for myself and to take care of myself. </div><div><br /></div><div>Well off I go to my 'walk-in' appointment at housing. </div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-58989743115477685702010-08-02T01:07:00.000-07:002010-08-02T19:50:52.106-07:00"Ewwww Get It Off of ME!!!!"So what a wonderful day I was blessed with today. Many things to do, many people to see. <div><br /></div><div>Church was great this morning. Pastor Carl talked about putting God as your cornerstone in life, not money, not family, not pride. He must be the cornerstone or all else will not stand and will fail. Loved the message. </div><div><br /></div><div>Next was nap for Nicole and then we quickly headed to Bella's birthday party to drop off a gift and then we were off to see another friend in need. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then I finally was able to meet some girls for dinner and celebrate a birthday. And while standing out front of the resturant I was hit, hit by a bird, pooping!!!! EWWWWWW!!!!!! I couldn't believe that I got crapped on by a bird. Oh wait and it trickled down to nicole. We both got it in our hair. Thankfully I had a couple true friends around to help me clean it off. Ugh, I have never been so embarrassed in my life. Apparently it is good luck. </div><div><br /></div><div>All the while dropping Scentsy and Lemongrass off at every location I was at tonight. Wow I was busy!! And now I am tired! </div><div><br /></div><div>Did not get to talk to my husband today. I think I missed my chance this morning when I was at church. That is ok though, since we talk everyday! </div><div><br /></div><div>Housing appointment tomorrow but my darling hubby has forgotten to send me some important paperwork. Not sure if I should cancel my appt and just go when I get the papers I need or just go and have them turn me around and tell me to come back. Hmm...I'll call in the morning and see what they say. </div><div><br /></div><div>No new news on the house, sadly. Maybe the bird crapping on my head is some good luck for my housing issue?? Hopefully we will hear something soon so I can have some time to move into my new place before my grandparents get here. So excited they are finally taking the trip to Hawaii. They have been all over the world, but never to Hawaii. Ready to be a tourist for a few weeks!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Good Night!!!! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-18903069012477657342010-07-29T02:29:00.000-07:002010-07-29T02:53:14.617-07:00Searching.....Searching for something to blog about tonight. I have so much I want to vent about, but I am unable because of certain military rules ;-)<div><br /></div><div>So...let's talk about something positive....</div><div><br /></div><div>I can't think of anything. Good Night </div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-49907033516125504672010-07-28T01:45:00.001-07:002010-07-30T01:36:11.230-07:00I am so Happy I have to bloggggIt's so wonderful when prayers are answered! <div><br /></div><div>Today we received our official paper orders to a squadron here in Kaneohe, Hawaii. I am actually getting excited. I am not sure why but it is going to be great to step into this new environment. I am eager to get involved with the ombudsman program and possibly serve as an ombudsman for our new squadron. That is one thing I really want to strive for. I feel with the knowledge I have about the Navy, and Hawaii, I would make a wonderful leader and I hope that others can see that to and give me this wonderful opportunity to lead and serve as a navy spouse. I am looking forward to whatever God has planned for Ryan, Nicole and I. </div><div><br /></div><div>Today we also learned that we have 3 new offers pending for the sale of our home. The highest offer is $255,000 which has been Bank of America's consistent counteroffer to the past buyer offers in previous months. We are hoping that we can finally be done with this whole short-sale process and move on. This whole thing has really been heavy on my heart and quite a stresser. I know the time is soon to where I will not have this burden any longer. So thankful for that! </div><div><br /></div><div>Since we have official orders I am able to get on the housing list at Pearl Harbor. I need to plan it right to where we would get offered a home within our 30 day window of vacate of our current home in Mililani. I think once Ryan forwards me the papers I will take them to housing and see if they can help me out and to discuss my options. I am really hoping to get into Ford Island housing so I can be close to my dear friend Carmen. I can't think of anywhere else where I would be happier in Pearl housing. Ford Island is my calling and there are no other options for me at this point! </div><div><br /></div><div>Tomorrow I am getting my lovely Rav 4 detailed and the inside shampooed. This makes me so happy because I do not like a dirty car and I just do not have time, or energy, or supplies to do it myself. Next on the list is an oil change. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have been seriously considering getting a tattoo. I know!!! I am horrible!!! I want to honor my aunt in some way. I am thinking just a simple pink ribbon on the outside of my ankle where it kind of dips between the back of the ankle and the part that sticks out. I only trust one person to put a tattoo on me. She is Ryan's old roommate from way back, when he lived in Waimanalo. She is here in Hawaii working at a studio for only 2 or so months. I don't have time to question my pain threshold. I just need to do it and get it over with. I am sure its gonna hurt worse when my grandma finds out and she hits me upside the head with her purse! lol. I've also been putting random flower and/or butterfly temporary tattoos on the top of my foot. They are so cute and have got me googling "small butterfly tattoo" ughhhh.....I KNOW I will not turn into my sister and get like 9 all over my chest and ear and whatnot, lol. Love you Rachel :-) I just want a foot tattoo. Maybe I can incorporate a butterfly or flower with a pink ribbon for the top of my foot...google time! </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, as far as the getting fit and fab and Operation Sexy Wife goes, I am kind of at a standstill and need to start making more time to get some workouts in. I feel like I don't eat too bad, except tonight had a chicken sandwich from Wendy's, oh sooo good!!! I really need to get my butt in gear because we are almost to our half way mark with deployment and I really want to be in a size 6 by the time my hubby gets home!!! That would mean I would have to lose 2 dress sizes a month. Doesn't seem that hard right?!?! </div><div><br /></div><div>Well off I go to bed. Hope you all have enjoyed a quick catch up. I am feeling much better after a few much needed vent sessions. Thanks to those who endured them! :-) Goodnight! </div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-67915273523555815482010-07-26T01:06:00.000-07:002010-07-26T01:24:26.676-07:00Tough WeekEnding this week, hoping for next week to be restful and uplifting. <div><br /></div><div>I have had a roller coaster of ups and down and crazy emotions the past few days. It's made me realize that I do have people here I can turn to when I need support. I have always been the one to support others and provide the encouragement. I've just had to open my heart and allow people to come in and help me, help the rock, the strong one, the leader. I've always put on a happy face and hid my hurt and suffering. I was really tested this week with my ability to be 'strong'. I pretty much got a D- on that test but after today I think I deserve extra credit. :-)</div><div><br /></div><div>Ready to start a new week, new activities, and seeing some old friends that I have missed. </div><div><br /></div><div>However, I am feeling much better and renewed. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Isaiah 58:9</div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-24402657629428579442010-07-24T14:56:00.000-07:002010-07-24T15:04:22.418-07:00ThankfulThankful for a much needed phone call this morning. Made me feel better to just let it all out. I am supposed to be the strong one. Everyone has their moments I guess. This deployment is much different than the last 2 I went through. I guess it is good to get out there and try and do different things and put yourself in different places so you learn new things. <div><br /></div><div>Relay for Life tonight, have to remember the real reason I am doing this. It's all for my Aunt Patti and our other family members who have battled this horrible disease. </div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-38522355726912157002010-07-24T00:13:00.001-07:002010-07-24T00:22:52.360-07:00What is wrong with me?!?!<div>I don't feel like going anywhere or being around anyone...</div><div>I can't remember ANYTHING...</div><div>I can't lose weight...<div>I am always tired...</div></div><div><br /></div><div>I know, excuses, excuses...I seriously am to the point where I want to do nothing, just stay home, go on my walks around the neighborhood and talk to no one except my family and my husband. I just want to quit everything I am involved in because I feel its not worth the effort I put into it and I am bored with it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am done with trying to make everyone happy and making sure I have all the answers. Sometimes I get asked the dumbest questions when the answer is right in front of the person's face. (referencing someone who thinks I am their go-to person for anything and everything).</div><div><br /></div><div>Wanting to start over from scratch and will not be able to do that since we recently received orders to stay in Hawaii.

It's great to be on this side but my new iPhone 4 gets delivered sometime this week and I have to be at MY house to sign for it, or I dont get it. Will probably make the trip over there tomorrow afternoon and see if it comes. Waste of 60 miles of driving, roundtrip. </div><div><br /></div><div>Gym was nice today, only did the stairmaster for 30 mins, but still feel acomplished. Gonna enjoy a nice walk with my Dayna tonight. </div><div><br /></div><div>Back to the hubbys spending habits in *********, BLAH!!!! Way to go hun, you have officially spent over the $900 mark. I am about ready to freeze our bank account for the next 7 days until he gets out of that expensive country. Hoping this binge drinking and spending doesnt promote more party nights when he gets back to OKN. </div>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18366308727968407831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702863309860445358.post-73158322154739768012010-07-09T01:40:00.001-07:002010-07-09T01:51:06.589-07:00It's been a whileSorry, it's been over a week. Annie reminded me tonight that I needed to fill her in on what she already knows. Lot's of things have been happening around here lately. <div><br /></div><div>I've started my work out regimen and healthy diet/lifestyle change. Except I had ONE piece of papa johns pizza tonight at our craft function. Like my fellow blogging friend Ashleigh, I too will do my weigh-ins on Sunday's. Last sunday was a whopping 1_7 pounds. Not gonna fill you in on the digit in the middle, too embarrassed. But once I get down to the normal numbers I will let you all know! </div><div><br /></div><div>I am extremely tired, it has been a long busy week and tomorrow is my busiest day, kayaking in the morning, then board meeting, then to the movies. Then saturday I have to wake up and help set up a garage sale. I think all I want to do next week is sleep. </div><div><br /></div><div>I miss my hunny tonight, weird because I have been a little frustrated with him these past 3 days...regarding his spending habits. Thinking tonight that if I had a family member here with me I could have just let them take care of nicole and I could have gone to ********* and stayed with my hunny in his hotel for a week. That would have been nice since they are in a 5 star, $$$$$ kick butt hotel. I feel cheated that I couldn't cash in on that opportunity.
