Tuesday hello

Well it was a nice day today I woke up and did some stuff around the house and then my friend Rhonda came over and we went out for lunch at a Mexican Resturant. The food was really good there. Its called the Monteray. We met up with her hubby Brian which is cool. I had the chicken quesidilla and water with lemon. I thought it was pretty good. Then I went and cashed a check and we went to see I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry that movie was good. I will give a review after this blog.
I seem to be getting a lot of headaches lately which isnt me. I am not sure if its stress or what. It started to happen after the movies today. I still had fun and didnt let that bring me down. :) I am just thankful and happy that I have great friends everywhere. Rhonda is one of my great friends she tries to keep me busy and sane so this deployment dosent drive me nuts. :) She was happy that I came back from NY. She said that she missed her movie buddy that made me feel good. :) I missed her to when I was in NY. :)
Well I got home and there was a package for CHucks camera so that was fine with me. THen I got a white piece of paper by my door. What do you all think it was. I thought it was a newsletter for the housing area but it wasnt. I got sited for my yard. I am so stressed out about it. I have 48hrs to get it done. I am so upsett that the mean SGT just put it in my door instead of talking to me about it. So I hope that the lawn mower man comesd today or tomorrow and does it for me. I am thankful to him to for doing my yard. I just never got notice. I dont want to lose housing over it or it goes back to Chucks commander in his unit. I am really upsett about it. That is one reason why I dont like military housing to many rules. :( They dont care if the hubbies are deployed or anything.
I hope that everyone has a better night than me.

Hugs

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry

I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry was a very funny movie. My friend Rhonda and I went and saw it today. I think its worth it to go and see it. There was some great actors in it.

My Sunday

Well my day went pretty good and we finally have cable to. I went with the cheapest package just basic and standard. I didnt want anything to fancy just to have some more channels than CBS. I am also excited because I get to watch army wives tonight. I am so happy to have that channel. The cable guy got totally lost when he came to my house but I am glad that he finally found it. My parents left today and gonna spend the night in VA and then head to NY in the morning. I am trying to be happy to be back in NC but I sure miss NY. It was great to have family around and that helped the time go faster. :)

On a sad note two of my neighbors my friends are moving tomorrow. One is heading for Nebraska and the other one for Wisconicin. I considered them both of my friends and its gonna be sad to see them leave. I know that its part of the army life and that it isnt bye its c ya later. :) They are leaving because their hubbies just deployed. So they want to be by their family. :)

There is also new rules for my housing area since I have been gone to. I am not sure why they have these new rule but I guess they go by Ft bragg which is fine.

On a happier note I got pictures of my hero, He sent them to me of him swimming in the Tigres river and some other ones. If I can figure out to post them I will.

Happy Sunday

If Sabrina Isnt Happy Ain't Nobody Happy. .....

If Sabrina Isnt Happy Ain't Nobody Happy is so true for our trip. She was miserable the whole trip down to NC. She made us miserable to. She cried all the whole way from New York to to the Super 8 motel in VA. When we got in there she cried the whole night while we trying to sleep. She kept me awake. She drove me nuts and my parents to. She was a very unsatisfied customer there. She would jump on my head then go to my parents bed and jump on theres to. I was so not happy with her. I was a very mad mommy last night. Now shes back in her own house and she seems to be happy now. :) I am very tired and glad that the day is almost over with.

Sabrina said shes gonna blog about this weekend. Shes to tired tonight.

Going back to to NC today


I had a ton of fun in NY and it helped make my deployment to go fast. I am gonna try and come home again. I seem to get more homesick when Chuck is gone. We are gonna spend the night in Virginia and then head to NC tomorrow. My parents are gonna hangout with me until Monday and then they are going home. We are gonna go to the beach one day and not sure what the other day. I will talk to everyone when I get to NC. I just hope that Sabrina can handle all this traveling. That poor cat had to get her nails trimmed yesterday and she wasnt happy. I felt bad because she bit my friends sil because she was really scared.

Saturday news

Today I had a good day mailed some boxes to Chuck and my bil Joe to. I hope that they get them soon. The lady made me laugh today at the post office she said that I was a expert at filling out custom forms. I have had 6 years of being a armywife to know how. :) Then picked up pics at Sams club and I forgot to get Chuck a phone card there. He said that he needs more so if I remember I will get him some. Somedays I am so absent minded.
Then came home and talked to Chuck online and that was cool and then he called me. We talked for awhile. Then I went to church with my parents and my dads aunt and then had dinner and relaxing tonight.

Happy Saturday everyone,

Roadtrip




Here our some pics from our Roadtrip from NC to NY. It was 12hrs long but Sabrina actually did good so that made me happy. :) She only cried twice. We stopped in PA for lunch and to use the bathrooms. They had a tourist spot to take pics infront of the sign Welcome to Pennslyvania. We also took Sabrina out of the car to put her on the picnic table so we could eat sandwhiches.

Some Beach fun




Here our some pics from the beach. My parents and I went to the beach last Saturday for the day. After it stopped raining I took some pics.

Amy

Yeah

Yeah I finally got to talk to Chuck today. I was finally home when he called. Hes doing great. He wants more pics of me but I told him that I wanted a pic of him to. :) He hasnt emailed me any since being there. He does have a digital camera so not sure what is going on. I even got him a new digital camera card to send him. Its a 2 gig it was on sale at walmart. I guess he called my parents last week and I wasnt home and then he Imed me and I wasnt on the computer. I was upstairs checking our cat. :) He also got to talk to Melissa and her kids. :) He seemed in good spirits so thats a good thing. I miss him but it was great talking to him. Its a great Monday. :)

Checking in

I know that I haven t blogged for a awhile I have been busy since being in nY which is great. I have been spending a lot of time with my cousin Melissa and her kids Mitchell (5) Danielle (3) and Samantha or knowen as Sammy (almost 2) They keep me on my toes which is good. I have fun playing with them. We are suppose to go and see a movie on Friday. I am not sure which one. Maybe Ratatoonie or something like that.

This pass weekend I celebrated my friend Liz birthday she turned 30 years old. So went to Tullys for it which is a yummy resturant by my parents house and her house to. Then we went shopping at Old Navy and Barnes and Noble. I ordered The Saber The Unwritten Code Of The Army Wives. I heard that book was good and I wanted to get it. She got her nails done and then we went to Walmart and had birthday cake at Chucks parents house. My bil Chris made her a German chocolate cake. Then we came back to my parents house and he made her steak on the grill. She had a fun day.

Then on Saturday I went to my aunts house for a family reunion. I got see all of my cousins and relatives from out of town. I had a lot of fun and got some great pics to share with all of you but I cant figure out why the kodak thing dosent work with my pictures on my laptop. I guess I stink at figuring on digi camera or something. Well if some one could tell me how to make it work. We stayed at my aunts house all day long which was great. The neat thing is that there was a band and they sang Amy what you gonna do. That was cool I love that song and so does Chuck. My aunt came over and told me they sang it for Chuck. :)

Then yesterday I had lunch at Cracker Barrel with Chucks parents, his grandma, my bil Chris and my friend Liz. Then my bil, Liz and me went next door and saw Liscense to Wed that movie was really funny. It was about a couple that has to go through different things before they get married. It was to funny. I reccommend that movie. Then we went shopping at Kohls, Target and Kmart so my friend could find a swimsuit for her work. I bought a few things for me and Chuck and I got some shoes to.

I will be back again but if anyone can tell me how to let kodak work with my blog, email, and stuff. I would be so happy. Its on my laptop but for some reason I think my desktop is easier for that stuff.

I Heart NY

Yesterday after 12 hr long car trip ride with my parents and my cat we are finally here. I was to tired last night to post anything. I got a couple pics on the way down so tomorrow I will download them. :) Its good to be back home but I forgot something that I needed. I guess I cant think straight at 5am in the morning. Say a little prayer for Sabrina she wont come out of the back of the closet in the attic. She burried back there and its 120 all the way back there. I dont want nothing to happen to her. I also dont want to crawl on my knees either and get her. My dad put 2 acs up there for us so hopefully that will help her out. I dont want her to be scared or get sick because its hot up there. Shes use to the central air at our house in NC. . Today I spent the day with my cousin melissa and her kids. Then tonight did a little bit of shopping at wallyworld and Sams club. I am gonna go and hopefully tomorrow I will beback with pics. :) Goodnight

Happy Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone just gonna check in and say hi. I know that everyone wants to see my stuff from crocheting and using the knitting loom. I am gonna start doing that again. I wasnt doing it for awile because I couldnt get it. I found some videos online that will hopefully help me with them. I figured that is one thing that will keep me busy and maybe reading more and scrapbooking to. I love pictures and take lots of pictures to. Chuck wants some picturs of me but I tried taking one of me the other day and I looked really goofy. I guess I could email him that one he will get a good laugh. LOL Anybody at Ft Bragg want to take a couple of me for Chuck that will be great. He would like that. :)
Tomorow I might go on post for the 4th of July with some of the girls from the group that I belong to. One of them is gonna come and pick me up so that will be great. I was happy to do anything tomorrow.
I hope that everyone has a great day I am off to get stuff done before I leave for NY on Monday.

Just poppin to say hi

Happy Monday everyone today I just worked on my house and getting ready to go to NY. Its gonna be great to get away from here for a few weeks. My new camera shipped today so I should have that for my vacation to. Well no news on Chuck I havent heard from him for a week. So I hope that he gives me a call this week. You know what helped me through my last 2 deployments was having friends. This deployment I only have R but she lives so far away that we only hangou t once in awhile. That helps to have her around and keep me company. I am hoping that my friend A moves in my housing area this summer. It will be great to have a friend that lives out here and someone to talk to. I guess this deployment I have been having the blahs. I know that it will get better because everyone I talked to said it took them a few months to adjust.

Home Is Where The Army Sends Us


Home Is Where The Army Sends Us is so true. We have PCSed twice since Chuck joined the Army. We went from Ft Bragg NC to Hanau Germany and then back to Ft Bragg again. Each time we tried to make the best of it. We made some great friends each time. Its small world so we didnt say bye we just said cya later to them because you never know. We made a friend Manuella in Ft Bragg the first time here and then we saw her again in Germany. :) I still have my old friends that live here but I also made some new friends to. :)

Love the tag my friend made it for me. Didnt she do a great job. :)
