Best Vacation and Trip EVER!

Day 11: THE GREATEST VACATION OR TRIP YOU HAVE EVER HAD


My favorite Vacation that I have ever been on would have to be the time tat I went to Key West and stayed a whole 2 weeks there with my Aunt. I was either 17 or 18 and It was during the summer. We went swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling, took a huge boat out, went shopping, visited the pier, and just had a great time! I do not have many pictures from this vacation anymore. They were all on my old laptop that got stolen, but the ones I do have or just of me.

This was our house we stayed at backyard!

Ugh Bad Picture! lol

It was really a great time and a much needed trip to get away from some unnecessary problems back at home. My Aunt always spoiled me growing up and took me to some amazing places.

Now for my favorite trip I have ever gone on would be the trip the husband and I took once he proposed. Panama City! Even though I once lived there, and I have been there thousands of times, and go every spring break it was just so much more special this time. It was the time where we got to tell my side of the family we were getting married and show off my beautiful ring. : ) We even had our proposal pictures taken here, not professionally though so don't judge : ) ha. A friend took them. Also this trip meant a lot to me because he finally got to meet my best friend/sister. I was so excited for her to finally meet him and to give the good news was just ten times better. : )

Pamper me

Day 10- What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? 

Oh man how I wish I did this more. My favorite way to be pampered is having a day where I have to do nothing at all. Where I can wear my pajamas all day and wear no makeup. Considering I do not get to do this much I enjoy doing absolutely nothing and not going out to get pampered.  To add to pampering I LOVE when the sweet husband of mine decides to pamper me as well. He has one hell of a good back massage. He gets so into it as well, using oils lotions and all. Who needs to spend money when I have my own. : ) He knows when I need these too. I get all stressed and angry, sometimes he will look at me and say go lay down and take you clothes off Ill be there soon. Most of the time im like NO YOU PERV! Not knowing what he meant. I mean he could say it in a more polite way.

On a different note: Today as been a blah day! I love how even when they are deployed they still find a way to make you mad at them. UGH! But we are officially half way done with this deployment! It is coming up so fast and I can not wait. Well I am off to go eat at my friends house for dinner again for the third time this week. She told my husband that they have adopted me while he is away. : ) 

A satisfied girl, with the best advise.

 

Day 8: The best advise I have ever received.

I have received tons of good advise from so many people, but the one that sticks in my head and I think about everyday is what my dad use to tell me. "No matter how hard or how negative things get, stay positive and everything will be ten times better and you will achieve a million more things in life than others." I live by these, i really do. It does help me through all things in life.

Day 9: A picture of your last significant purchase. Did it satisfy a need or want?

We haven't bought anything lately because one: I am in a saving money mode right now Two: The hubby is deployed and I hate spending big money while he isn't here and Three: I am so busy working!

But right before he left we did go out on a limb and purchase something that I have grown to love while he has been away. It has been consuming most of my attention as well, considering I am constantly training and cleaning up after her. That's right I am talking about our puppy Auzza.

She was definitely worth every penny we spent on her and I am very satisfied with her. She is a Australian Sheppard, if anyone is wondering. 

Alright guys, a friend of mine has convinced me to enable AdSense to my blog. I cant believe that they actually pay for you to advertise for them. I figured why not? I am already in a saving money mode and this could so go to help with paying everything off. However I do want your opinion on it. I know some people think that it is annoying and don't like it at all.  BUT if you click on the ads that interest you, AdSense will specifically put out adds that interest you. You have to start off somewhere right? 

So if you want fill free to help me make a few extra bucks, by clicking away. 

Day 7

 

Tell us about your wedding or dream wedding? 

Well unfortunately I never got the dream wedding that I use to dream about growing up. The white elegant wedding that took place outside, by a lake with hay bails as chairs ( I know I am country)

and my bridesmaids dressed in yellow, being walked down the isle by the groomsmen in a black tux. And then Me being walked by my dad in my long white dress that took up almost the whole isle.

Well all this became a dream to me when my dad passed away when I was 17. Once Joe proposed to me and we started talking about wedding plans I realized that it was the hardest thing I have had to do since my dad has been gone. It was depressing to think about, and wedding planning is supposed to be fun. However, I really DID want an actually ceremony, but with timing and all what we had was perfect. The only thing I would change is that I wish my family could have been there. We ended up planning to get married after his basic training In San Antonio Tx and the River walk. His family was there and we had an actual ceremony where we had to say vows and all. Although I was not prepared one bit, I thought we would just saw the traditional vows, but I was caught on the spot and said a bunch of random stuff. HA. We did talk about having a actual caremony so both of our families could be there, but about halfway through planning it all we realized that it was a waste of money and that we would just have an reception to celebrate with family.

It might not have been my dream wedding, but I can say that It was the best day of my life becuase I got to marry the man of my dreams, and the man that I love with all my heart. He is truly my life and hands down the best day. We even went to Sea world afterwords. : )

Survival

Yesterday, the Teen Center here went on a camping trip for the night. They were going to go hiking and learn all about how to survive in the woods. I of course volunteer to go help because I have nothing better to do. Let me tell you it wore me out! I was exhausted last night and past out as soon as I hit the bed. But it was fun! It was an all girl camp so I did get a little tired of hearing the girl complain about not being able to wash their faces, straighten their hair, and so on. Other than that I enjoyed it. We had four SERE instructors that worked on base to come and show them a few things. They showed them how to make a fort out of things around them, how to start a fire, and on our hiking trip they showed them what to eat and what not. And on our hiking trip that had to GPS themselves around to find the next location. It was tiring especially hiking all day. Oh and did I mention that it was FREEZING. That morning it was snowing a little and eventually stopped turned into rain, and the hail! I was soaked for the longest time and I couldn't feel my toes. I guess I should have warn three pairs of socks instead of two.

Now, I am not going to share any details because I am not sure what all every knows and what I am not supposed to know and so forth. But I am sure you all know about Lybia and that they are sending troops that way as we speak. I just want to ask that everyone keeps them in your prayers and their families. I know a lot of my friends husbands/boyfriends have left already to go there and they just got home 2 weeks or a month ago. I could only imagine, and I know it is going to happen to me as well. This whole thing is stressful to me, but I remember that this is our life and I begin to think how proud I am for every single person that is fighting for us. It makes me so happy to think that I am a woman behind on of those.  : ) SO PRAY PLEASE!

On to my spring forward:

Day 5 – Something you definitely could live without.

I could so live without school!!! I am so tired of it. I have no motivation at all to finish but I know I need to. It also doesn't help when I know this person who has two bachelors and one associates and every time she applies for a job, they tell her she is too educated!!! I mean really? that is ridiculous.

Day 6 – Tell us about your best friend when you were 16, and where you two stand today.

 

taylor, me, jayme

 

These two girls Taylor and Jayme were hands down my best friends. They were there through it all, and always helped me through the worst moments in my life. We had a lot of good times together, A LOT and have so many memories of us. From spring break to just a day in class. Today, however we are still friends but not as close. The fact that I live all the way across the world does not help. I do still talk to Taylor, but not as much as I would like. 

Day 2 and 3

 Day 3 – A photo of something you ate today. Was is it worth the calories?

 Now I did not eat this today, but the other day I did. A friend of mine, husband made dinner and they always invite me over. BBQ chicken, greens, and Mash potatoes. They so stole the idea from me because i cooked it for them one night. HA. But I have to admit his chicken was better. And yes totally worth every calorie.

Day 4 – Something or someone you can't live without, because you’ve tried. 

Does my husband count?? ha That is a given. but other than that I would have to say  my facebook! I am addicted to that thing. I should really get rid of it because I never get any school done.

I know it sounds horrible, but I live on it. It is a way i keep in contact with all my family back at home and friends. Without it i would probably never talk to them because I hate talking on the phone.



So i would say thank goodness it is Friday, BUT I still have to be at work tomorrow. We are going on a camping trip and going hiking tomorrow, so they needed help. I of course voulnter for it because i have nothing better to do. Come to find out it is from 630AM to 630PM. I am going to be dead. So with that said i am heading to bed.

Spring Forward Day 2

 

Link up if you have not yet!!!

Day two: Something you really don't like about yourself 

Have I ever mentioned that I have trust issues?. Well I do and I hate it. I have been this way ever since my EX cheated on me in highschool. You know how those relationships are, Dated a guy for three years thought I was head over heels and he left for college while I was still in highchool cheated on me and didn't tell me. Then he comes home without telling me, and we happen to see each other at the same party and he brought her!! Oh yeah it went down. LOL. So ever since then I have never trusted anyone. Sometimes it may come off that I am being super jealous, but im not. I am still this way today, with Joe and sometimes he gets so mad at me, but I can't help it. Even with friends too, not so much though.  Joe understands why i am this way. I have gotten a lot better lately. I think it is more of me not trusting other people around him, more than him. I don't know I am weird. So if anybody has any advise on how to get over this I am free for the tips. : )
