Lucky me, wife of a hero.

So I was reading a blog I found on TheWelcomeHomeBlog.com and there was a post about a necklace the blogger had bought from this Etsy shop. (If you know me, you know I loveeeee Etsy!) So I went to the Etsy store and saw the necklace and HAD to have it. There is a copper star that says, "Lucky me" and next to it is a silver circle that says,"Wife of a hero" and there's a colored bead also attached to the necklace. It's on the same chain as a dog tag so it feels like I'll always have a piece of my husband with me. :)


Anyway, here's the link for Kristie (LuckyWife's) store: LuckyWife

I just got it today and have already put it on. :)


Mine has a red bead but you can get any bead you want!

It's been a while.

It's been a week since I last posted but I've been so sick and tired that I haven't really been able to post.


But here are the updates:
1. I'm quitting my job this week. Not only have I missed a lot of work from being sick with this pregnancy, but they are rude and inconsiderate. When I called in once because I was so sick and literally throwing up as I was talking to my boss he said, "Take care of that problem." Um, excuse me? How exactly am I supposed to do that? He's a man so of course he wouldn't understand. Plus, with the birth of the baby in September and me still in school, I don't want to put the added stress of having a job on top of all that. I NEED to finish school.

2. Hubby is still deploying within the next couple of months. We have no idea when. I wish we had a tentative date to plan things around.

3. May 7th is our "wedding" and I couldn't be more excited. Even though I'll be showing it will still be fun. I feel bad for the Mr. though because he doesn't think anyone from his family can make it. I wish he had more friends and family closer to him. Hopefully all his other friends will be able to make it.

That's all I have for now. Time to tackle this migraine with a nap!

Happy one year of marriage!

So today was our first wedding anniversary and I must say, it was nice. We are kind of low key so we slept in, got take out for lunch, went bowling, and then went to Olive Garden for dinner.

Normally I love Olive Garden but tonight it sucked. The service made it horrible. We said it was our one year and the hostess put us in the bar instead of somewhere quieter and more intimate. Our server, who was a lady in her 40's-50's gave us a look at the beginning that screamed she didn't want to serve us. With that in mind she only brought our drinks out once and never once asked us if we wanted refills or if we needed anything. The bartender saw that she wasn't visiting our table like she should so he stepped in and took care of us. When our server did bring out our sauce (that I had to ask the bartender for) she gave me a dirty look and then walked away without saying a word. Mr. B was very upset about our service so he told the manager, who was clearly upset about it. Without us even asking for anything she gave us a $40 gift card! We were shocked. It was such a nice gesture.

Other than that today was perfect. I love Mr. B so much and look forward to many more anniversaries with him. :)

Note: Yesterday I had my second Dr.'s appointment and got to hear baby B's heartbeat! In two weeks we'll have the first ultrasound. I'm so excited to finally see our baby!

Another awesome giveaway from Hakwerswife!

The lovely Kathleen from Hawkerswife is doing another giveaway and this time it has something to do with Scentsy! I love Scentsy and would love to win. *cross fingers!*

Kathleen also informed me that I won a copy of 'H is For Honor.' I'm so excited!

Wedding registry

So since my husband and I did our JOP wedding last March (this Saturday is our one year!), my mother has insisted on a traditional Greek wedding to appease the family.


This is happening in May/June! I haven't even gotten a dress yet! It has to happen fast because he's deploying this summer and then our little bundle of joy will be born soon after.

So today my mother and I went to Belk to do my registry and I have to say, I am very excited about it! I'm obviously not expecting to get everything we need but I'm hoping that most of our kitchen wishes get bought. We seriously have nothing in our kitchen but plates and fork sets from Wal-Mart. :(

I'm really excited about the wedding but I have recognized that it will be a lot smaller than I would want. It doesn't matter though, I'm still excited and hope we can pull it off!

Roommates

Having roommates is something I'll never do again. They are just too much trouble.

It doesn't matter that our roommate sees us walking in the door with a thousand bags from Wal-Mart, he'll still eat our food and drink our drinks! I didn't know my husband and I were buying groceries for all three of us?!

He also never cleans. I feel like we clean all the time and yet he sits on his butt all day playing video games. As I type this I just finished cleaning the entire downstairs top to bottom. It was nasty.

I just can't wait to get out of here and move to a new state. I love NC, but the choices for bases are limited. My husband really doesn't like it here. : /

Night sickness?

So instead of morning sickness I have gotten some night sickness around 11:30 at night. It's no fun. I'm wondering if anyone else who has been pregnant had to deal with that.

Also, first appointment is Monday so we will see if everything is ok. I hope it is. I've been having some stomach pains but nothing too major.

That's all I have for right now. Sorry for it being so short and boring!
