Ft Bragg NC Fair
The other day I went to the Ft Bragg Fair with my friends Jenn, Lacey and their kids. Laceys hubby also went to. We had a fun time walking around and going on the rides too. We also had some yummy fair snacks too. I had a lemonade and a funnel cake yummy. I didnt play any games this time.
I went on the Ferris wheel twice with my friend and their kids. Then my friend Lacey and I went on the drop ride. It brought us all the way to the top then dropped us. That was fun. I havent been on rides for awhile.
I got a lot of cool pics. I am glad that I had some fun.

Updates on me and Chuck :)
I am sorry I havent been much of a blogger since Chucks been gone. There really isnt anything exciting going on.
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.

My birthday yesterday
Yesterday I had a great birthday with my friend Casie. She made my day extra special we went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch. Then after lunch we went to Best Buy and I got my Canon Rebel XS. Its such a nice camera but now I have to learn how to use it. The lady there reccomended it to me said that it would be good for beginners to Digital SRL. Its gonna be a fun camera to use and I cant wait to go somewhere and try it out. I am gonna see if I can find a book about Digital SRLs so I can learn about them. My sweetie also called me to wish me a Happy Birthday which made my day more great. THen we came home and went to her house. She made me a red velvet cake with yummy cheesecake frosting. It was so good. Casie made my day so nice because she knew I missed Chuck. I also got lots of phone calls from family and friends to wish me a Happy Birthday. Thanks everyone. :) I turned 33.........and I dont even feel old which is good.

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.

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.Tuesday, January 20, 2009

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. :)

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.

I am in NY now we got here earlier today. It was a long trip and interesting to. We had weather in NC up in the 70s and then its in the 20s in NY. Its freezing here and theres a lot of snow here also. I didnt miss the snow when I was in NC. I brought my boots with me for it. They will definitely be for good use here. I am happy that there will be a lot of fun things going on while I am home. I am really tired and glad to be in NY with our families for 2 weeks.

Some news from me and Chuck

I got pics from Chuck today. I loved seeing his smiling face in his pics. He got to meet the Dolphin Cheerleaders, Craig Morgan and Mark Wills, and some singer. I am not sure of her name. Hes still in Kuwait and hes doing good he said. Well as good as he can. He saids its freezing there. Hes gonna be there for a few more days until he goes to his next place. I have the sweetest hubby he had Craig Morgan send a message to me. He sent me the video and its on facebook to. Craig saids Merry Christmas Amy. Hes to sweet for doing that. :) It cheered me up yesterday. I have been down lately because I miss Chuck and sometimes the sappy christmas songs make me cry also. Anybody else feel like I do when their soldier is deployed. :) I was so happy to get the pics. His smiling face cheers me up.
Tomorrow I am going home for Christmas back to NY. They are getting hit hard with snow there yuck. Please say a prayer that we have a safe trip and that the weather is okay. I hate snow and driving in it too. I worry. I am looking forward to see my family and his family. I miss them all. Its gonna be great to be with loved ones during the holiday season.

NY Bound for 2 weeks 20, Dec-3 08, 3 Jan 09
Yay on Saturday I am gonna be NY bond for 2 weeks to see our family and friends. I miss being home. It will be great to be around them for awhile. I am so looking for to it. I need a little break from Ft bragg. My friend Liz is coming to visit me on Wenesday and take me home with her. I am looking forward to seeing her and her friend. I told Chuck that I was going back to NY on Saturday for Christmas. He said that he was happy because he didnt want me to be a lone for the holidays. The only downfall of me going home is that I am gonna miss my friends here. I will see them January 4th when I am back. Its gonna be a sad Christmas this year because I would love to be with Chuck. I cant wait for next year when hes back home safe.
Annoyed with telemarketers
I am getting very annoyed with Chucks cell phone lately the only people that call it are telemarketers. I told this lady that Chuck was overseas and she said that it was a important message to higher his education. Then she said will he be back next week I said no. She was trying to get nosey with me which got more annoying especially when I am walking around walmart. I didnt feel like talking to her and explaining things to her but she was being annoying. Then later some guy called and asked for Chuck. He wanted to know if he wanted to higher his education I said well hes not in then he asked me if I wanted too. I said not right now. Then he asked me which got me really annoyed. I felt bad but I was being a big grump. Then they called back again spoke spanish and wanted to know if Chuck was here and wanted to higer his education. I hungup the phone on her. Is there a way for me to block annoying telemarketers on his cell phone.

3rd Brigade Christmas Party
Today my friend Casie and I went to the the Christmas party for our unit. At first I didnt want to go because it was mainly for the kids but I am glad that I did. It was fun. The 82nd Airborne Choir came and sang Christmas songs and a couple of their other ones. They did a great job. I was kind of faraway but I was able to get a pic of them. Then they they had food every unit was assigned to bring a dish. Ours was the store bought deserts so I brought christmas tree cookies. We met up with my other friend and her kids and we all ate together and the kids sat on Santas lap. It was fun. I was watching some of the kids up there and a lot of them were afraid of him. Then some guys walked around and gave everyone gifts. Some got books and some got notebooks. Casie and I got blue notebooks. At first I thought the gift was silly but lately I have been forgetful so I am glad that I have it. I have it in my purse.

5 am phone calls
Well I know that everyone that has someone in the miltary gets those early morning phone calls. Chuck called me today at 5am he woke me up but I didnt care. I told him that he was the only person that could get away with that. He said that its warm in Kuwait but in the evenings it gets cold. Hes glad that they fixed his heater in their tent. We talked about different things and I cant remember everything because it was to early in the morning. He said they are gonna be their for a week and then they are off to their new place. I got his address if anyone wants it. Just hit me up on IM or email and I can tell you. He said where hes going there isnt gonna be much to get so he gave me a list of stuff that he wants. I told him that when I come home from my trip in January I can get everything that he wants and needs. Its been a week since hes been gone but I am getting better. I still really miss him but it helps me that I have my friends here and everywhere that knows what I am going through because they are too. Thanks everyone.

Living at Ft Bragg
I am not sure if I am gonna like living at Ft Bragg by myself for a year. My neighbor my friend told me a scary story about a lady that lived on her street and got hurt. I am not gonna go into details but I know that you all know what I am talking about. There has been two break ins that happened during the day in Heritage Village. One guy broke in during the day today while the lady was upstairs sleeping and she saw him and screamed and called 911. He ran out the door. I just dont want anyone to break in to my house. They wouldnt have to worry about killing me because I would have a heart attack anyways. I just want to feel safe. I wish that Heritage Village since its a Miltary housing area has guards like on post. Any tips so I can feel safe and not worry about my safety. My friend has a dog but I dont havea any guard dogs just my cat. Shes a guard cat but if someone comes in my house that she dosent know she runs.
Happy Birthday to my mom and Chucks Dad, Ross and Mark
Happy Birthday to my mom and Chucks Dad. I hope that you both have a wonderful day. Happy Birthday to Chucks cousins Ross and Mark too. I hope that you both have a wonderful day.

Some reviews
Heres a movie review for Twilight. Chuck and I and our friends got to see it last Friday. We thought the movie was really good. I know that I should of read the book first but everyone wanted to see it so we did . I am gonna start reading the book this week.
Yesterday we saw a awesome Christmas play my friends and I at a nearby Church. It was called the Kingdom of Light. All the actors and the music was awesome. I am glad that I went because it got me out of the house.

Some Deployment updates
I heard from Chuck yesterday and hes doing good. He called me from his first stop Maine and had a couple hour layover and called me. Then he came online in Ireland but I wasnt home to chat with him because I went to a christmas play with my friends. Then he called me on the cell phone last night since I wasnt home. Hes in Kuwait now. It was great to hear from him. Hes doing good and said that they changed the DSN phones over there and they work better which is good also. Well they are there for a week or so and then they are going to you know where. He wanted me to tell everyone hi.

Deployment Day
Our Deployment Day is here. Chuck and his soldiers left early this morning for Iraq. We knew about this day for a long time but I still wished this day didnt come. Its gonna be a year long which is gonna stink but I hope that it goes fast. We got some pics they arent the best pics because it was so cold and windy and I was teary eyed. I was happy that I got some. I am so proud of Chuck and hes so brave.

Operation At Ease
Standing by the sign that the sweet lady made for Chuck and Jeff. 
Operation At Ease was something that these people set up for the miltary and their families. We got to stay in a really nice condo with our friends Jeanette and Jeff for the weekend. It was a free and we got to golf, swim and cayack. We got to eat breakfast for free on Saturday and Sunday at Surfers. The food was pretty good. We got to see the sights around St James plantation and then around Southport. It was right by the ocean and it was so pretty. Our condo was really nice. The lady that showed us around gave us a tour and made a sign for Chuck and Jeff. Her son use to be in the Marines so she was so apprecative of the miltiary. The weather wasnt that cooperative but we made the best of it.
Friday we got there and it was sunny so we got to take pics and we saw Twilight since it was free.
Saturday it rained but we took the car over on the ferry to Ft Fisher. We went to the NC Aquarium. It wasnt that big in there but still neat to see. Then we went around town and saw all the neat stores. We went to a really nice Christmas store. I loved it and I wished that we could of taken pics. I got a few pics on the outside but it was rainy and I didnt want to ruin my camera.
Sunday was our last day and we ate breakfast and then went to Caswell Beach and got some pics and walked up and down it. Then we headed home. We had a fun day.
It was a nice and relaxing weekend. I want to share all my pics with you guys. Does anyone know how to share a slide show on blogger.

Hobbies
Everyone has hobbies and things they do to keep them busy while their soldiers are deployed or just for fun. I was thinking of somethings to do while Chuck is gone. Hes leaving real soon but I can't say because of opsec. I was thinking of getting in to photography since I love to take pictures. I have a good camera but I want a DSRL one. I saw a few on amazon that I like and arent priced badly. I am also gonna start scrapbooking again and make beaded jewerly. One of my friends do that and she said that its fun. I hope that I can stick with all of them because I know it will be fun. I also want to start crocheting again because that will be fun.

Why do people steal?
Yes this is gonna be a vent and grumpy blog. I know I have been having a few of them lately. I am sorry about that.
Today my friend Jeanette and I went to walmart and I went and got cash out. When I went to get my atm card out I noticed a empty spot in my wallet. At first I couldnt figure out what card was missing and I finally relized it was my Miltary star card. I feel dumb that I didnt noticed it all weekend missing. I had such a fit in walmart over it. I called Chuck and he cancelled it. I was just really mad and then the photography guy got gumpy with me because I went and picked up the christmas cards. He said that they werent ready yet. He wanted my receit for it and I said that I left it at home. That made him mad too. Then the lady remembered me making them so she stuck up for us. I am thankful she did because I was in a grumpy mood. I think they took it at Sports USA at Ft bragg. Chuck loves to sing Karaoke there. I am never ever gonna bring my purse in there again. Its sad to think that some associated with the military would steal from me. I still cant figure out why they just that card and not my atm cards or my cash.

Fake Friends
So lately people think that I am a fake friend which I dont understand. I do so much for everyone and help everyone out. Then they say I am fake. I am real and Chuck saids that I am a awesome friend to have. If anyone knows me knows that I am pushover. It just hurts that certain people think of me like that. I have a few true friends here but I am begining not to let my guard down because I dont like to be hurt. I have a friend that pushed me away and dosent even chat with anymore. She used to only Im me when she wanted something which that hurt. I made her a cake for her birthday and she didnt want it. I hope that I can make it through a year at Ft Bragg with out my best friend. :( Has anyone else been through this before.

Some updates
Here our some little updates that are going on Chucks date for him deploying has been changed again. I am not sure if its true but hes gonna be home for Thanksgiving. That could change again but it will be great to have him home with me. So we bought a little Turkey, red potatos so Chuck can make his famous smashed potatos yummy. Hes also gonna make his pumpkin cheesecake to.
Chucks court case got stteled now. After 6 months its been setteled. Chuck did lose his liscese for a year because of the misameandor. He dosent get any restrictions the law said that if he got a DWI or a DUI he would of gotten restrictions to drive to work and back. I dont understand the law because Chuck didnt have any alcholol on him when it happened. We cant worry about it so our neighbor is taking him to work in the morning since hes got to be in the same time as him. Which is helpful to me so I dont have to get up early.

Billy Ray Cyrus Concert
R0cky Lynn and I. He was a former soldier from FtBragg.
Yesterday on the 8th of November we went and saw Billy Ray Cyrus., Bo Brice, Josh Gracin, Rocky Lynn and the 82nd Choir they sang for Veterans. There was also a dedication of a painting for the fallen soldiers of the 173d Airborne Soldiers that lost their lives in Veitam on 8, November 1965. We had great seats and enjoyed the show.
82d Airborne Choir-Were one of the opening acts for Billy Ray Cyrus and they did awesome. They sang a lot of great songs. My favorite was when they sang the 82nd Airborne theme song what they do before they jumped.
Rocky Lynn-Was another opening act and he did great. He was a former soldier from Ft Bragg. He said that he loves to sing for the troops and family members. He sang a bunch of great songs. Then after he got done singing we got to meet him. He was such a nice guy. He took the time out to meet with everyone. He talked with Chuck and said thank you for serving. He also told me thank you for all the sacrifices too. He autographed my heart and he even did a picture with me. He did it twice because the first time my eyes were closed. He was my favorite.
Josh Gracin- He was a former Marine and was on American Idol. He did a great show and sang great songs to.
Bo Brice- His dad was in the Marines when he was younger. He sang so many great songs too. He sang a song called Red White and Blue and dedicated it to all the troops past and present. That song was really sad.
Billy Ray Cyrus did a great job too. He sang all his classics and some new ones to. He let all the Veterans on stage with their family members and sang Some Gave All. He also sang Achy Breaky Heart. I love that song even know its old.
It was a great show and I am happy that all these singers took the time out and sang for everyone.

I Love Lucy
I love Lucy its one of my favorite tv shows. Even know its a older show I still love to watch her. She always makes me laugh and when I am having a blah day I just turn her on and watch it. I think her show is one of the best shows to watch. Today has been a blah day for me because of my allergies and other things going on so I turned her on. It was one of my favorite ones when they were trapped in the cabin and all wanted her sandwhich. I am thinking of getting her box set sometime.

Wierd weather
We are having some wierd weather this year because it went warm to cold over night. This has been a cold fall for us in NC. It goes down to the 30s at night time and everything. We even had a frost last night. I have a bad feeling that we are gonna have a cold winter. Last year it was in the 70s and 80s. Now we are freezing are butts off. Chuck and I are both from NY you think we would like the cold weather we dont like it. Chuck said the only the only thing that he likes about NY when its cold is that he can go sking. My parents said that they already got snow in NY. My friend Liz sent me pics of it there. Thats one thing about NC is that it dosent snow only a little bit. Is everyone else having wierd weather where they are.

Time is going by to fast
Well Chuck is leaving for a another deployment soon which stinks. It feels like Chuck just got home 2008 is going by fast. I hope that 2009 will to so I can have him back in my arms again. Hes still here we got a few fun things planned before he leaves and we get to celebrate our 7 year anniversary which is awesome. I have been blessed to have him home for our anniversaries. We are also gonna get to celebrate Thanksgiving together to. He is gonna be leaving soon after that which makes me sad. I know that I got some awesome family and friends that will help me through this long deployment which will be great. I wanted to go home for the year that he would be gone but Chuck dosent want me to. He dosent want to lose our house which is true so I decided to make the best of it here at Ft Bragg. I just want him to be safe there. I already started to worry about him which is wrong I know but I want him to be safe. I have already started to stress out about it. I am trying not to but I am.

Marriage Retreat @ Myrtle Beach
Chuck and I went on a Marriage Retreat this weekend. Chucks units Chaplins had it for us. It was really nice we got to learn about the 5 love languages. We learned about the 5 love languages a few years ago but it was great to talk about it with him. We learned what both of ours was and to fill each other love tanks up. There was 5 Chaplins and each one of them talked about their love language and what works for them and their wives. We got to meet other couples to and all of us getting ready for the brigade deployment coming up next mont. I enjoyed this time very much with CHuck and he enjoyed it to.
We stayed at the Ocean Dunes and our room was paid for and 3 of our meals to. We had a Ocean view from our room which was really pretty. When we werent doing the classes we got to spend time and have fun with each other.
On Friday night after the class we went to the hotel bar Mangos and Chuck sang Kareoke. He sang I cant help falling in love and I cross my heart. He was being a sweetheart to me.
On Saturday after the classes we had a whole day to be with each other was really nice. We went to Broadway By The Beach and walked around the boardwalk and th en we went to Medevil Times for a dinner and a show. We had so much fun watching it and eating the yummy food to. We definitely want to go back again. Then we got back to the hotel and Chuck sang Kareoke again.
On Sunday Morning we did a few pic from our deck again since it was sunny and then we went and did the class. After the class we were released in the morning and we went to Barefoot Landing and had lunch at Joes Crab Shack and did some shopping. Then we drove home. We had so much fun this weekend.
We took a lot of pics from there to. I dont want to bore everyone so if you want to see them you can check out myspace of facebook if you have me. Or if you want to add me you can. :)

Conflictions with Lawyers
Well after getting back to NY last week Chuck got 2 letters in the mail from his lawyer that there is a conflict now. The conflict is that he wrote the will for Mr Black 2 years ago. So now he cant be Chucks lawyer but he gave Chuck a new number for a lawyer in Fayetteville. Hes gonna refund the money back to Chuck and hes gonna give it to the other lawyer. Chuck said that he gonna meet his new lawyer tomorrow at his court case tomorrow. It isnt setteled yet which is good for Chuck because he still has his liscense but hopefully buy the time he leaves for Iraq it is. We just didnt need this added stress to everything else that is going on. Well I come back tomorrow and say what happened.
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday Chuck and Chris I hope that you both have a wonderful 34th birthday.
I am excited today because I get to celerbate Chucks 34th birthday with him since he was deployed last year. Tonight we are gonna go to Logans and have birthday cake. I will post some birthday pics later on.

Our NY adventure
Chuck and I had a great time when we were in NY. It was fun hangingout with our family and friends. We got to shop which we loved because it was tax free on clothes and shoes which is cool. I wish that it was like here in NC. We played Wii with my brother Joe and our friends, Liz and Scott and my brother in law Chris to. After playing Wii Chuck loved it so we actually found one while we were in NY. It was one that was traded in at Gamestop but it was still cool and worked.
We also played team trivia at Flashbacks and Anatellos with Scott, Liz and Chris. It was fun playing trivia even know we didnt know some of the questions. I actually got one question right and I got excited. It was who wrote the book My Life and I said Bill Clinton. I got lots of cool pics at Flashbacks they had some neat stuff there. Anatellos was a Italian resturant.
We also got to eat at yummy resturant called Tullys with Chucks parents and our friends. We also went to Jonathons for Kareoke. I dont sing but Chuck and his brother Chris love to sing. It was fun watching them sing. I cant carry a tune but I sing when I am home cleaning, in the car and in the shower to. LOL
My parents also took us out for dinner to Consols which was really yummy Italian food. We had a great time hanging out with them.
We got to spend time with Chucks grandmas. We went out for lunch with Grandma Fertig to a little diner by her house. The food was yummy there. Then we went to Phills Chicken house for dinner with his grandma Hranek. We had a great time being with both of them.
Then our last weekend in NY we went to Wine Country with our parents. We had a lot of fun going to the different vineyards and trying different wines. Then in the evening we went to Chucks Aunt Nancy and Uncle Garys to hangout.
We also got to spend time with my little cousin Danielle, Mitchell and Samantha. They came over to my moms house and we did crafts with them. They were so cute and said silly things.
My parents through a party for Chuck at the VFW for him deploying soon and for his 34th birthday coming up this week. It was such a nice turn out for him. My family and his family were both there. It was wonderful spending time with all of them. We miss them all.
To top off our vacation we got to hold my new baby cousin Ylaena. She was so cute and only 1 month old. I love babys.
Since I took so many pics while I was home I will just put up one for now and some other ones this week.

Update for Chucks court date
Chucks hearing went well and they post poned it again. I think its good that they are doing that. They are trying to have it work in his favor if he does lose his liscense because hes gonna be deploying anyways. His next court date will be October 9th. Chuck said they will probroblay post pone it again until November before he leaves. Please cross your fingers that they do that. He dosent want to be with out his liscense since he has to work everyday and because he wants to beable to go and see Joe and Cassandra down in Gerogia. We havent saw Joe for a few years. I think it would be great for them to see each other.

Bush Gardens Europe
On the skyride we got to see some of the park. It was fun. Do you see the rollercoaster in the background.
The Griffon rollercoaster. This was one was really scary Chuck said.
Yesterday Chuck and I had a fun day at Busch Gardens. We got in free for the day because of the website http://www.herosalute.com/ . We had so much fun and it didn't even rain. Its been rainy so much here but I am glad it was a nice day. We went on rollercoasters, 4D rides, and the sea dragon and some other ones to. We got to see the Clysdale horses they were so pretty. We didnt get to see all the neat shows they had there but we got to see the Octoberfest show in Germany and that was neat to see. It reminded us of being at the real Octoberfest in Germany. We also ate lunch in Germany at the Octoberfest. Chuck got to sample some yummy German food so he was happy.

Yay
I am excited I figured how to put a pic of me and Chuck on our blog. I have had this blog for 3 years and still learning how to put extra stuff on there. At least I got that accomplished. Its a pic of me and Chuck outside at the crackerbarrel.
Old Shows
Yes it has been a boring Saturday so I have been watching Old Shows today on TV Land. They are fun to watch. I watched I Love Lucy thats one of my favorites, then Leave it to Beaver, Beverly Hillbilies and then Stanford and Son. I know that watching a lot of tv isnt good but when nobody is around Chuck is gone. I figured that it would be something fun to do. I have also been going through my scrapbooking stuff and gonna start that back up again because I have a lot of cool pics to use. I am also reading to but I am slow reader but the book is really good.

The Moon
The other night I was outside trying to get the sun setting it was really pretty but the trees were blocking it this time. I got a couple pics but they werent that good because it didnt set over the feild. I wanted to try the zoom on my canon and I got a pic of the moon. It didnt come out that good but I hope to get a SRL camera in a few months for our anniversary. They had some good prices on amazon for them. Heres the pic of the moon.

Just some random thoughts
Just sharing some random thoughts that crossed my mind
I thought I had some awesome friends here but lately I have been hurt by them. I am not sure what I did wrong and why nobody wants to hangout with me. I know that Chucks only at JRTC for a few weeks but since hes been gone I had no friends to hangout with. So the time has been dragging which stinks and actually makes me sad. I am the friend if you want someone to hangout with or talk to I am there for you. But yes I need a friends to that I can just chat with. I am not sure if I am gonna make it through a year when Chuck deploys. I am not looking forward to that time and being alone in NC. I thought about going back to NY while Chuck was gone but we would lose our house so that would stink. I am lost of what to do. I just want to be happy. Yes I could get a job but I still would have to come home to a empty house and just my cat. Yes I am a armywife and I knew when I married Chuck that I was marrying a soldier. I love him very much and I support him and the troops. I just want to have friends that want to hangout. Please dont put a mean comment to this random though that I had. I dont need it.
I hate rumors to yes they spread like wild flowers everywhere. I am not sure why anyone likes do to it. Yes they spread rumors to at JRTC. Chuck calls me the other day and said that they might be going to another place instead of the sandbox. If that happens the deployment date will change to. So to make myself feel better and calm I am just gonna wait until I know for sure instead of worrying.
I dont understand why my cat dosent like to sleep at night time. Everynight now since Chucks been gone she comes in our room and crys. I guess she dosent think that I need to sleep. She wants me to get up for her and play with her and give her treats. She just wants attention. Well I dont mind giving her attention and stuff but when I am sleeping I dont want to be bothered by her.

Sunday Checkin
Happy Sunday I dont have much going on today just hangingout with Sabrina Kitty. We are watching Law and Order on USA. I havent been up to much because sadly I am finding out that some of my friends here just use me. :( I am not sure why the only time the IM me is when they want me or Chuck to do something for them. If I try to just Im they dont want to talk to me which makes me sad. Oh I got some great friends here that I wouldnt trade for the world but some of them just make me upset.

My funny cat
Yes I have a funny cat and her name is Sabrina. She was going nuts earlier when my friend Jeanette brought over Sally cat. She thought that Sabrina could use a plate mate. Well Sally isnt real but Sabrina thought she was. I couldnt stop laughing at her because she kept checking her out like she was.

Just another Tuesday
Chuck left for JRTC on Saturday until the 22nd of August. JRTC means Joint Readyness Training Center and its at Ft Polk Lousianna. Hes there for training that will help him and his unit before they deploy in November. I didnt want him to go but its a month it could be worst for us. We had such a fun month of going places and being with each other and seeing our parents. I didnt want July to end. He gets another block leave in September before they leave in November.
Since hes been gone and I have been going through vacation pics to send to our families and put in our photo albums and scrapbooks to. Today the guy came out and sprayed for ants. He said that he couldnt do the ant hills because they didnt give him enough time to. He told me to call housing and tell them about the ant hills and stuff. Ugggh.

Some Myrtle beach pics
July has been
July has been a month of fun and have some of our favorite people come and visit. I wish that this month could of lasted longer. We went and saw the battleship and went to Wrightsville Beach and fun hangingout with each other. Then we got to spend time with his parents and we had lots of fun with them at Myrtle beach. Then my parents were able to come for a few days and I went to Myrtle beach with them for a couple of days. Its been a good month for us. I took lots of pics this month. :) I am very happy that we got to see them. In September we are hoping to go home again to see our parents and our family. We miss them all.

I hate NC bugs and Ants
This is a very grumpy blog about the NC bugs and ants. They all make me so mad and very grumpy. Why do they insist on coming in my house for. I bought some posion for them to kill them but I have to be careful because of Sabrina. I dont want her to get sick. I found yucky ants in Sabrinas food today. I didnt have that problem with them last summer but now they invaded it. I am gonna call housing and have them spray outside and inside. Does anyone have any other ideas to get rid of them before I go insane. Last summer they came to visit me to when Chuck was deployed. They invaded the back bedrooms and bathrooms. Its a never ending story of the unwanted house guest that come in and invade our house. Did I mention that I also have those big brown spiders again but Sabrina eats them for me when she sees them. Okay enough of venting. :( Last summer the guy that sprayed said they like to visit us because our house is cool and we are also right by the feild. That didnt make me feel any better when he told me that.
