5/29/2006 What a weekendWhat a weekend this has been, first Friday was my birthday and it sucked as usually since Brock was gone and everything. But I did actually enjoy myself a little bit, I got some new clothes and jewelry and shoes, and stuff like that. I was so glad to get my birthday over with, because I know now it's one day closer to Brock getting home.
This past week or so my big sis Laura and her kiddies have been visiting from Tennesee, and it has been so much fun, she leaves on friday and I don't know how I am going to let her take her kids and leave us, but I will have to find a way.
Also Brock called to inform me that he got his last package and it was missing some things that we supposed to be in it. So I asked him what was missing his magazines that he wanted, and my friends hubbies prescription foot cream, and he asked me why I sent him so much snacks, well I hadn't. Also someone's Mike Tyson video and other Boxing videos were in it. He was hoping they weren't his, and he was right I am glad he got it finally but, it was sure funny that it had been mixed up.
Today we went to the cemetary to put flowers on my Dad's, Dad's grave and, my brother in law Mikes Dad's grave. It was so nice to be able to take the time to think of them. I never knew my grandpa, he died when my dad was younger and I miss him, and really wish I could have met him. I know that I love him, and glad that someday I will get to meet him. I have been thinking lately about all service members who have been killed in Action or have died as a result of the War, I was thinking of how sad it must be to die so far away from loved ones. I know they are all going to Heaven, and they all deserve it. They've fought hard, they'll get a great reward. I also have been thinking of a kid that I went to school with that was killed my senior year in a car accident, he was in the guard and was such an awesome kid. I can only hope that I will be able to remember how precious and fragile life is and live a full life so someone will remember me.
I am tired and ready for bed. 5/25/2006 Someone is spoiled!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY
SADIE SHAE!!!
So if you haven't guessed who is spoiled it's Sadie my 3 year old, yes I feel so sad, I remember the day I found out I was pregnant with her, and now she is three. Wow, and guess what tomarrow is...
Anyways, Sadie really is spoiled her is a list of what she got...
princess bike, helmet and knee and elbow pads, also a shopping cart with groceries for her to push around our living room and den, and a princess tea set, lots of cute clothes, a doll and diaper bag, also a swing set (that stays at grandma's house) and a ballerina outfit with shoes, she also got lots of dress up clothes. She sure is spoiled.
Well I am not too excited for my day tomarrow, I wonder what I was thinking wishing this upon myself three years ago " JUST AS LONG AS SHE IS BORN BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY." I said and sure enough the very day before mine I was in the delivery room pushing for 4 hours and then to have the c-section. I was glad to get that birthday over with and I hope that I never am recovering from a c-section on my birthday again.
I am off to bed a little early for me, but I am exhausted and my bed is calling my name!!
5/21/2006 busy, busy...So I am going to be a busy little woman for the next few weeks. I am very happy, but would be happier if I could get some decent sleep. It seems lately that I lay in bed and watch TV half the night. It drives me crazy. I am so tired this morning and I know I didn't get good sleep because I have a headache and I feel awful. Hope It stops being like this when Brock gets home.
Well yesterday Carter had bad luck, first in Kmart he fell out of the cart, straight on his head (this has happened before), then after we got out of their we went to my aunt and uncles house and he fell out on the sidewalk, he forgot to put his hands out to catch his fall and really hit his head hard, then while I was trying to finish eating, I heard him screaming out in the garage, sure enough he had been playing on one of their scooters and it had fallen and hit him in the head, this time he got a bloody nose. Not exactly the easiest day of my life, but knowing that Brock will be home soon sure helps alot. I am sure surprized of how time has passed, it seems like it goes by as slow as possible, until you look at it from now, he has been gone for 17 months. That is a long time, for sure. I am so glad he will be home in less than a month, atleast he has been calling really good to help keep me calm. He is the best hubby in the world. 5/17/2006 One Happy GirlI am one happy girl!! Brock called me this morning and told me that He should be home about a week earilier give or take a few days than what was expected!! WOHOOO!! I am so excited!!
I have been super busy, I had a reunion workshop on wednesday, mother's day dinner, and on Sunday we went to church with Brock's Grandma Joann for mother's day it was a surprize, then after church was over we had a lunch at the park with a few of Brock's cousins and aunts and uncles. It was so nice to see everyone and catch up on family things.
I had a teeth cleaning on Tuesday morning and the girl that cleans my teeth, actually told me she could tell that I had been flossing and brushing my teeth better since the last time (so all the hard work has been paying off) I also had 6 more cavities and have to get a crown on one of my teeth, so the dentist said he wasn't comfortable with knowing that I was flossing and brushing and still getting lots of cavities and prescribed a toothpaste for me to use. I also had my hair done, the girl added some more blonde extensions in and also some red chunks. I had alot of comments today on them!! I love my hair now!! Also on Tuesday I ate dinner at Brock's mom house, she got pizza and it was yummy.
Tomarrow my big sis Laura and her cute kids and new baby get in to Vegas around 10:30 p.m. My mom and I are driving down to get them I am so excited to see my new nephew!! and of course to see how big Justin and Brianna are getting.
Brock and I are both so excited for him to get home and finally get to be a family again, I am sick of all the missing him and finally want to be able to know he is home and safe will be great.
I am off to put Sadie back in her bed, and then off to bed myself. Goodnight all!! 5/11/2006 UndecidedWe are still undecided about the house, we know we are selling ours but we can't buy without selling the one we already own. Plus, I know Brock would rather buy a house he's already seen then buy one and hate it after we have paid money for it. I really like the house but know if it's meant to happen, it will and if not, then it's for the best.
I am glad that we are to the stage where we are having meetings about them coming home. Whew!! Didn't know when it started if we'd make it this far... But we have improved and I can't believe how the time has went. Soon he'll be home and it'll be better. I know to expect some problems, I don't want to say it's going to be perfect because I know it won't. I know we'll have to merge two different ways of life back together again, and it won't be easy. I also know that we will have to keep communicating our feelings as well as we have been, mostly this is my problem, I am pretty good to hide it-- and then all of a sudden the Beast from the dark arises and I am saying things that I know aren't true and Wish that are never said. I hope that we are better than before (we already are) and I know that if we can stay that way we will be okay. I know it takes two people to make a marriage work and so hopefully with lots of blessings and everything we can get along, and hopefully in a year from know be on our way to the Temple!!
I am proud of Brock for sure, he has been my rock that has made this whole thing worth it, he is always supportive of my decisions and is such a great husband and provider for our family. He is just wonderful and I am so glad that I married him and had his babies!! He is the best guy in the world. And guess what HE'S MINE!!!
5/8/2006 A new House.... maybe!So Brock and I have been talking about selling our house and what to do either build or buy a bigger one. The only problem has been finding one in a good neighborhood, built within the past 15-20 years, that I would go for. Well we found a house that is a great price and I am going to meet with one of the builders, since it is being built and won't be finished till end of June. Let me tell ya about it..
It is a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house, it has a 2 car garage, a laundry room, living room, family room, kitchen and dinning room. It also has an unfinished basement that consists of space for 2 bedrooms. It is just down the road from where we live, so it is in the same ward that we are in now. If we buy it we will get to pick the color of the stucco and the flooring, and countertops and all that good stuff. Brock is really excited about it, which is kinda unlike him, and so am I. I am going to go meet with the guy and his wife to touch base with him and talk about buying it. I am so excited.
Brock has been really awesome about calling us since he got back in January from his leave. He calls everyother day usually, and sometimes more often than that. WE are getting along really well and I am really anticipating a good reunion, when he gets home. I know that we'll have arguments and stuff, but at the same time I know without a doubt that we will make it because we have learned to communicate better. I am so proud of him and so happy that he'll be home soon. 5/3/2006 The past few days...The past few days have been interesting. Monday morning Brock's mom called me upset, her mom's ex-husband had passed away, and wanted me to let Brock know somehow. I waited till I knew the armory would be open and tried to get ahold of the Family Support Leader, eventually she picked up and she said she would email the commander. I know that Brock was very close to this man and still calls him Grandpa. My phone rang finally and it was Brock saying he'd just gotten off the phone with his mom, I was relieved that they had told him and that he had spoken with his mom. We pretty much talked about the kids and my family's annoying little trip to lagoon they have planned that I do not want to go on, to much stress for my kids to ride around in a stroller all day long. And Brock said that he wants to take go to the Zoo in July when we go to pick up his Peterbilt, so he said to wait to take them till he was home. I wish that he was home now so I didn't have to stress over stupid things, but as it is, I am going to tell my mom no. I really don't enjoy stuff like that, so I am going to have a serious talk with my mom about stuff. I am going to be getting ready for Sadies birthday which I may have to go up shopping that weekend anyways if that is the only one that I am not busy on, so we'll have to wait and see.
I haven't been feeling well today, I woke up with a sore throat and headache and was freezing, and my head was burning up. I went and put a movie in for the kids and laid down for a while. I have decided that I hate my life right now, but love the people that are in it. Hopefully by the end of June, my life will be a major improvement. I will be done with planning girls camp, and Brock will be home. YIPPEE!! |
