I am happy that Chuck will be coming home for his R&R in June. Its gonna be great to see my favorite soldier. I miss him a lot. We are gonna go to Florida for a week and see Disney World since they got a really good miltary deal and Seaworld too. We are also gonna hangout around the house. Chuck wants to eat at his favorite resturants and and barbeque too. I really miss him barbequing.

I have been having ear problems lately. Well I had it since Germany but been ignoring it. Its a wierd noise in my ear that just wont go away. I went to the doctors last month and he said that it was just ear wax buildup but he cleaned my ear out and gave me drops. I still hear the noise and its started to affect my sleep which isnt good. I push the back of my ear and that noise stops. I wish I knew what it was. The doctor is gonna think I am a nut for going back but its driving me nuts. I am going back next Thursday I hope that he can help me out.

The weather is starting to warm up in NC its been in the 70's which is great. I love the warm weather.

Happy Birthday Jon

I am sorry I havent been around that much this month or blogged. I really havent had anything going on just the deployed spouse retreat this month. I know that I havent been a good friend either to everyone and I am sorry. I have had the deployment blues a little bit I am getting better. I am sorry V....I dont want you to think that I am mad at you because I am not. Dont you hate it when you miss phone calls. I missed Chucks phone call today because I was in the shower. :( I hope that he calls me back. blah. :(

DeployedSpouseretreat@Myrtle Beach

This is one of my favorite pics of the sun rising over the ocean yesterday. Isnt it cool.

I had a nice Valentines weekend with my friend Jenn and her kids. We went on the deployed spouse retreat it was for all the wives that had hubbies that are deployed. We had a nice time. There was 80 other wives from the units that are with 3rd brigade. It was nice for me we all had ocean view rooms. It was so peaceful watching the ocean from my room. The chaplins were so nice and so helpful too. They had some helpful classes. We also got free time too and that was fun for me and my friend. My friend and her kids went swimming for awhile. Then we went to Broadway By The Beach and walked around and had dinner at Unos. Then yesterday I woke up and got to see the sun rising around 7. I got some awesome pics. I am glad that my camera did a great job.

Some people asked me about it what you do is ask your rear d chaplins if they do anything for the deployed spouses while the hubbies are gone.

Some Little Updates :)

I know that I havent blogged that much but nothing is really going on with me...

My little cousin Ylaena is doing better now. The doctor released her from the hopsital and said that she has acid reflux syndrom. The doctor gave her some meds and it seems to help her.

Chuck is doing good to. Hes been sending me lots of pics. I think that he sent some of them out. I got a a batch of new ones. I will email them to everyone on Sunday when I get get home.

I am gonna go away this weekend for the deployed spouse retreat with my friend and her kids. We are gonna go to Myrtle beach. It should be fun. It will be nice to hangout and meet new wives from the unit. I will come back and post some pics and tell everyone how the trip was.

Sabrina my cat has been very naughty lately. Last night I thought someone broke in because I heard this bangingin the kitchen. It sounded like things were breaking. Would you believe that my cat was on the counter playing around. It scared the living right out of me. Then this morning when I was chatting with Chuck online I heard that same noise again she was on the counter. My little stinker was. I snapped a pic of her quick. I guess she just likes to get into mischchieve.

Prayers

My little cousin Ylaena is not doing good. Shes only 4 months and has viral pneumonia. Could everyone please keep her in your prayers that she will do better. I am so worried about her. Shes so little. I am really worried about her. I feel so bad for my cousin Nicole. Shes been at the hospital since yesterday with her. Thank you everyone.

Some updates on Chuck

Chuck is doing good hes been there for almost 2 months. He said that hes doing okay. He saids that its cold there but he knows that isnt gonna last long because summer is just around the corner. He said that their is a lot of stray dogs there. He knows I love animals and he said that I would think they are cute. I told him that I wanted some pics of them but he said when hes outside he forgets his camera. He told me he needs new sneakers someone stold his sneakers over there. I dont understand why people steal but I told him that I would get him another pair and put them in his next box. He sent me some more pics which is awesome. I love getting pics of him while hes over there. I miss my sweetie.

Snow Day in NC

North Carolina had a big snow fall this year. We got about 6 inches of snow yuck. I havent saw this much snow here before. I know if Chuck was here he would of loved it. He loves snow. We are both from NY where it snows all the time but to see it here is wierd. I got some pretty pics of it. I just wish that I didnt scratch the lens on my camera when I was doing it. I was trying to protect it from the snow. :( I took some pics after it and they all came out good so hopefully my camera will be okay. :)

Happy 35th Wedding Anniversary

Happy 35th wedding anniversary Mom and Dad. I wish that I could be there with you guys to celebrate your special day. I hope that you two have a wonderful day.

Just saying hi

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am sorry that I havent blogged that much but I dont have much going on. I got a few new books that I am looking at and deciding which one to read. I am also excited that 24 is back on the air again. Its one of me and Chucks favorite shows. We both love it. I wish that he was here to watch it with me. He gets AFN and he said that its gonna be on there soon for them. I got a few hobbies that I am excited about doing? My friend is coming back from out of town next Monday. She wants me to go camera shopping with her and laptop shopping. She said that she had a few ideas of what she wanted. :) I am off to watch CSI Miami and then to bed. I will talk with everyone later.

Its been a month yesterday

Its been a month since yesterday that Chuck has been deployed. This first month has gone by fast which is awesome. I have 11 more months to go. It helped to be around my family while he was gone. It also helps that I get to hear from him. Hes at Iraq now and getting setteled. He said that there isnt much around there to see. They dont even have a PX or anything. He gave me a list of stuff that he wants. So I told him that I would get him a box as sooon as I could. I have gotten some deployment pics from Kuwait. If anyone wants to see them I can email them to you.

Back in NC

I am back in NC after being in NY for 2 weeks with our family. I had so much fun while was I home. I am glad that I got to see mostly everyone there. I got a lot of great pics let me go through them later on and see which ones I want to share. I got a lot of great ones. I heart my family. My friends came and got me on Sunday afternoon since they were in NY visiting also. They were with my friend Jeanettes sister. We spent the night at the Super 8 Sunday evening. They were to tired to drive. We left yesterday morning from Carisle PA and got back at Ft bragg around 93opm. It was a long drive but I am glad that to be back. I missed my kitty, friends and my house. My friends said they were happy to back at Ft Bragg also. I am planning on going back to NY maybe in the spring time or the summer time. It helps to keep busy when my favorite soldier is deployed.
