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.

Happy Wenesday

Just wanted to say Happy Wenesday. We havent been up to much this week so far just relaxing at home. Chuck and I have both been stressed out with stuff going on at his Chucks work and with friends and stuff. Well Chuck has CQ today so I have been getting the house picked up and hanging out at home. My friend Jeanette is coming over today and we are gonna go shopping and dinner. I am not gonna be totally bored today. :) I am still reading Shoe Annoymous its a really cute book I am just a slow reader. :)

Ghost on the Battleship North Carolina.

I havent done book reviews for awhile. Ghost on the Battleship North Carolina was a awesome book. Danny the author of the book shares his experiences of his encounters with the ghost aboard the ship. After all the tourist leaves he sleeps on the ship. He saids what it is like to be on there. He had some scary experiences with the ghost. I really enjoyed the book.

Chuck and I and our friend got to meet Danny when we saw the battleship back in March. We didnt get to tour it because it was going to be closing. We got to meet him in the giftshop they had there. He was a nice guy. I had the book since then but I have been a slow reader. I am glad that I finished it today. :)

What a gloomy day

Its a very gloomy day in North Carolina and rainy. Its been doing it since Sunday. Well yesterday we had a sunny day but back to rain again. I know that we need it but I am getting sick of seeing it. My grass is liking the rain its starting to turn green which is good. It isnt good either though because that means we have to do yard work which we both dont like. I hope that all the rain we are getting will help the areas of North Carolina that are in a drought. Since its a rainy day and Chucks sleeping because he had CQ lastnight. I am gonna read my new book. I will be back with a review after I read it. I hope that everyone has a great day.

Photography Just The Steps For Dummies.

Photography Just The Steps For Dummies by Frederic H. Jones was a really good book and I found some of the steps useful for taking pictures. I have a few more photography books that I want to read to help with my new and fun hobby taking pictures. :) Well I am getting better at taking pictures and have taken a few good ones lately. I hope to sometime get a better one but my Kodak Easy Share 6.1 is fun to use and my Cannon 5mp is good to. I cant wait for us to some more traveling so I can try and use those steps with my pictures. I know with any hobby it takes practice to get better so I hope that I will. :)

Hiss and Tell True Stories from the files of a Cat Shrink by Pam Johnson Bennet was a good book. Pam Johnson Bennet is the author of the book shares stories of some of the families that she went to help them with their cats. She figures out whats going on with their cat. Some of the stories were funny and some were sad. I enjoyed reading it very much.

A Year Of Absence Six Womens Stories Of Courage, Hope and love

A Year Of Absence Six Women's stories of courage, hope and love by Jessica Redmond was a really good book. I enjoyed reading it I couldnt put the book down. The story takes place in Baumholder Germany. It was during April 2003 until July 2004. All 6 of girls share what they went through when their husbands deployed and how they felt when they when the First Armored Division got extended. Some of them went through a ruff time and I got teary eyed reading it. I reccommend this book. I really liked it.

I was in Germany to when this story takes place. We were suppose to be at Baumholder in February 2004 but when we got there they sent us to Hanau Germany and I was there when First Armored Divison got extended. The wives that were in Hanau were very upsett to and I felt bad for all of them.

HouseHold Baggage The Moving Life Of A Soldiers Wife

HouseHold Baggage The Moving Life Of A Soldiers WIfe by Marna A. Krajeski was a great book. It made me laugh. She she shared so many great stories of all the times that she PCSed. Some of the ups and downs. I can say that I could relate to some of the stories that she shared. Has anyone else read this book.

She even had some helpful military vocab words. I knew what most of the words were but some I didnt.

He shared some stories about his childhood and his kids and grandkids to. He said that life is wonderful and he is right.. Thank you Aunt Nancy for the book. :)

Under The Sabers The Unwritten Code Of The Army Wives

I actually finished Under The Sabers The Unwritten Code Of The Army Wives. . It was a really good book . At first when I read it I thought it was gonna be boring but it got better. The story takes place back in 2001-2002 when the murders happen. The story is of the strong Army Wives and what everyone of them went through raising their families and being strong for their husband. It was a really good read. Has anyone else read it what do you all think of it. I cant wait to read another book. Reading is fun and is helping a lot through this deployment.

TGIF

Thank goodness its Friday the week seem to go by kind of fast. I got stuff done around the house and we finally got some rain this week to which is good. The rain helped our grass because it was so brown now its green again. I got to talk to Chuck online on Wenesday and today he said that hes doing good. Hes back at the other camp now and they are just chillingout for awhile there before they move on again. I am doing good and still reading Under The Sabers the book is really good it reminds of the tv show Army Wives. I got some other new books to read when I get done with this one. My goal for this book is to be done by October 1rst. I am making a little goal for myself so hopefully I can do it.

Happy August 1rst today is my cousin Jims birthday he turned 32 years old today. Hes in the airforce and stationed in Neveada. Happy Birthday to him.

Somethings I want to accomplish this month is to start to read more. I bought a book and I hope that I can stick with reading it. Its called the Army wives the unwritten code. It looks like it would be a great book to read.

I also want to get back into scrapbooking again and crocheting and using my knitting loom to. I so want to be more crafty.

I also want to get more boxes unpacked to and get my house together and looking good when Chuck comes home. :)

I figured that I would write all this out and I hope that I can stick with doing this stuff. :) I will blog about the stuff that I do get done and read. :)

To Hot

Happy Monday to everyone its start of a new week. I just did a few things around the house and played with Sabrina. I didnt have anyone to hangout with which is okay because I understand why they dont want to come all the way to Raeford. I have a couple friends that live across the street but they have their hubbies home so I didnt want to bother them. I live in the country here and so far away from everything.
I also read my chicken soup for the girlfriend soul book.. Theres some great stories in there. Chucks Aunt Nancy bought it for me when I was in Germany. I love the book I am just a slow reader though.
Besides cleaning the house I just did some boxes in the garage but it was to hot out there for me. I almost melted. So if it cools down out there I will do some more. :p
On a happier note I am going to NY in July from the 9th-26th to see our family and friends. It will give me someone to chat with and hangout with. I am gonna take Sabrina home with me to since they have stupid rules in housing. I dont want to get in trouble for leaving her. She wont behappy for sitting in the car for 12hrs but she will get over it.
I hope that everyone is having a great day. I am gonna eat low fat fudge sicle and watch tv.

Talk to you all soon.

Amy
