123 Days

There are only 123 days until Troy leaves for boot camp. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself when I am officially living on my own for eight months. Troy doesn't know either! haha For example, I have been in the apartment by myself for about 6 hours tonight and I am board out of my mind. :) I think I have texted Troy 10 times, telling him I was board. haha I keep telling myself that I will have a new routine while Troy is gone - and I believe that to be true. So hopefully I won't be board out of my mind ;)

I know for sure while Troy is gone I will be spending a lot of time down the street with my new nephew! He is due to enter the world January 5, 2010. So we are super excited about his arrival. I am throwing Troy's sister a baby shower on November 15th at our apartment, so I have been planning and all of that fun stuff :)

I'll probably blog a lot while Troy is gone too...lol So, I'll keep you posted ;)

I am the proud wife...

Of a future US Soldier. Thank you so much for your prayers. God is awesome, and always in control. My husband Troy swore into the United States Army this afternoon. We are now on our way to a totally different lifestyle, something I will proudly accept. I am very proud of Troy, and feel this is God's will - and as long as we are in HIS will everything will be fine. Troy goes to basic training at the end of January - so we have a few months until we have to be apart for almost 7 months (he will be away for basic training and AIT training) I love this man with all of my heart, and I am very proud of him. So please continue to keep us in your prayers and that God will continue to work in ours lives as we embark on this new journey. :)

I'm going to Miami :)

Well, I booked my plane tickets yesterday. So I'll be in South Beach Florida the last week in October. ...and I'm super excited :)

Big day tomorrow...

Please keep Troy in your thoughts and prayers today and tomorrow. He has a big day ahead of him tomorrow. I know God is in control, and whatever HE wants for us will be ok with me and Troy. So just keep us in mind tomorrow. :)

....annnd, has anyone else read the Twilight series? I am addicted, I am on the last book of the series. ....so don't spoil the end for me if you have read them. ;) I am finding time for reading again since Troy works late hours. Once I get home from work I crack open a book until Troy gets home. Its very relaxing. :)

There is a pretty good chance that I will be flying to Miami the last week of October to attend the Vidal Sassoon cutting academy. I am excited, because one - I have never flown before...and two, I get to be in Miami for a week ;) ...and let's not forget the skills I will come home with after that week! :) :) :) :) :)

I know this post jumps around, but that's how my brain has been working the past few weeks. Loves and more Love! :)

My husband....

I love him. We are in the process of making some big decisions in our lives - and I just wanted to dedicate this post to him. Just because I love him :) Once the decisions have been made and I know more details, I will post about that too. :)

All Dogs Go to Heaven

Yes, I am watching one of my all time favorite movies :) You just can't keep a good dog down!

Updated decor, and new projects!

Well, I have finally thought of a theme to go with in my living room decorations. ...and that theme is birds. I love cute little bird figurines, and I have purchased a few a long the way. So why not decorate with them?! :) The post previous to this one shows one of my latest projects. Which included scrapbook paper and a picture frame. I did another set of frames with a different set of paper - so I am going to post photos of them, as well as the other decorations I have purchased. I love decorating, love love love it! :) Most of my recent purchases have been from Hobby Lobby or a local thrift store - I must say, I am turning into my Mother's child...before you know it I will probably be quilting. ;)
