Deployment

So tired of all the babies crying that they miss there husbands....did you not know what you were getting yourself into when you married a Navy boy. Seriously.....you're annoying. Stop complaining you have no one when multiple people have offered advice, help, and companionship.

Sorry just venting.

Barf

My diet sucks. I just cant get into a routine.

Today I have had:

Coffee

PopCorn

3 mini Baby Ruths

About a cup of Ritz snack mix

6 glasses of water

I seriously feel like im gonna barf. I really need to start eating better. Yesterday's menu wasnt much better.

Jello Legs

So today was an adventure, and it left me exhausted! Two of my favorite Ladies here on the island, took me up Koko Head. Of the 5 years I have lived here I haven't been up this crazy thing. It was crazy, all 1,048 stairs! I had a great time though and burned a total of 1,643 calories. Hmm...if I just walk Koko Head twice a week I'll be skinny in no time! :-) Thanks but my legs hurt so bad right now. I would probably do it again if I had to or if someone forced me up. The views are great and I wish I had taken more pictures of us going up and going down. All in all it was a good day!!


<---me, laura, and rachel at the top! This was their second time and my first time. Made it in 52 mins. Not sure if thats good or bad but hey, I made it!

Thanks to Laura for taking the great pictures! :-)

Forever

Wow! It seems like I haven't been on here in forever. We've been super busy.

Thursday we baked with Julie, and went to our monthly ESC meeting at Sydneys.

Friday was a rough day, Nicole was really showing her age on Friday and since she didnt have much of a nap the evening was much worse until we showed up to see Elmo Live.

Saturday...today, we have alot to finish for our Auntie Kaila's babyshower tomorrow.

Friday was Ryan and my 5th wedding anniversary. I got flowers! And a box of chocolate I did not need!! I've sent Ryan 2 boxes and 3 greeting cards already so he just has to wait until they get there. I need to send another box today.

Ok, gotta go to walmart and get the candy bars for the "smelly diaper" game for the baby shower! :-)

Happy Anniversary!

Five years ago I married the love of my life, Ryan Travis Bruno.

HOPE

HOPE:

Hope that Patuxent River orders come through.

Hope this deployment continues to go by fast.

Hope my baby girl will get better.

Hope I get some good sleep tonight.

Hope this headache goes away.

Hope my condo sells soon.

Hope my hubby calls me tonight, even though it will wake me from my good sleep.

Hope I can lose 20-30 pounds before homecoming.

H-O-P-E

this word hangs from my mirror in my car, along with a pink breast cancer ring and pink crystal pendant in honor of my aunt. Eight months ago, today, she lost her long battle with breast cancer. I HOPE for a cure. :-)

Mixed Emotions

My poor Nicole has been sick these past two days. She managed to keep her fever down until this evening upon going to bed. She got a dose of medicine and her fever dropped right away. Now it is the coughing I am worried about. She has a dry chesty cough that if is not better tomorrow, probably wont be, I will take her in to get her lungs checked. Last thing I need is for her to get an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis.

Today we received our orders back for where we will go in November. Ryan asked for VPU-2 here in Kaneohe, Hawaii. That request was denied and we are forced to choose between VP-47 in Kaneohe, Hawaii or VP-?? in Patuxent River, Maryland. VP-47 just returned from a deployment cycle which means if we join them in November Ryan will deploy AGAIN in June. Not great! So...I am leaning for Pax River. Pax River is located 4 hours and 30 mins from my grand parents in Virginia Beach, 10 hours and 45 mins from Ryan's parents in Georgia, and 11 hours and 45 mins to my parents in Florida. We would be able to go to DC, Bush Gardens, Sea World, New York City, The Appalachian Mountains, and many other places by CAR! So basically I have my mind made up, can you tell? Part of me wants to stay in Hawaii. I love it here, it is beautiful and I have a million friends. Plus I know almost as much as a local knows when it comes to where to go and what to see. If we move I have to start all over and I am the new girl on the block. Change is good and can be very exciting sometimes. So we'll see.

Well I am beat, and I am hoping I get a phone call with his decision. The detailer needed an answer on our choice within 24 hours so I think he was trying to shoot for tonight when he got off work. It is currently 5:30 in Japan so the decision will be made shortly. Praying for Pax River!
