Pre-deployment Post

I have read countless blog about husbands coming home from Afghanistan but Ive also seen alot of women say that their husband didnt come home. I am going to tell you the truth. Im not taking this 2nd deployment very good. He has not left yet but it's right around the corner, and I cant even begin to tell you how I feel. My emotions are just all over the place. About two years ago my husband came home from Iraq and to say that he was the same man I saw leave to Iraq would be a lie. My husband did change, and I learned how to grow with it. He was not as cuddly as he used to and we would get upset very very fast. But I put faith in us and he has made so much progress since then, it is unfortunate though that he is leaving again and we are going to have to go through this again. But I want to do this again, I know I can handle him, and  I know Im the only woman who is going to be able to get him though this. I know that I am going to have to have a talk with him about the 'what i

I hope everyone had a wonderful Merry Christmas , I know I have not blogged in a couple of days so I will start on the day my husband came home . P.S I will try not not make this a long post but I promise there will be lots of pictures:) (Traffic) It was Wednesday night when Jaime was coming home, the airport he came in is 45 minutes away from the town I live in. So my dad and I left to pick up Mr.G and my dad and I didnt realize that the mall was very close to the airport. So there my dad are I were, a block away from the airport but the long line of cars would not move so we were getting very upset! So long story short we were late to pick up my husband because of all the craziness at the mall:( I felt horrbile. I asked him if he felt bad, he said no it's ok. So I felt a little bit better but next time I am going SUPER early next time....not that there will be one, this is his last time home till he comes back from Afghanistan:(  Always with my iPod  (We are ap

{Pictures} I feel bad because I did not take alot of pictures this weekend except from my camera phone. Ooops! It's so unlike me to not take any pictures. {Shopping}  Saturday we woke up early,ate some breakfast, and headed out shopping. I think I have everyone except for Jaime's brothers and our sister in law, and his dad, and my little brother. Other than that we are done! So the rest of the shopping we are probably doing it on Thursday. {Movies} I cannot wait for my husband to come home so I can rent some movies and be in pj's all day long with my love. {Military} Im debating if I should go to the Family training day. They are just going to talk about how to cope with deployment some question we might have and what not. I dont want to sound cocky but I think I know alot of ways to communicate with my husband overseas and I do know about Opsec and I know alot of things because of our first deployment. I should say I know family stuff not military stuff.lol a

The very generous Veteran

 So today I was checking the mail because I have been waiting for something that Mr. G needs. When I checked the Mail there was a letter addressed to me, I thought it was a letter from Jaime and then I saw it said, the address of the reserve center so I was like, oh ok they sent a chritsmas card how nice. To my surprise I opened it and there was a $50 bill, and  very sweet message. The message said: A small gift from a grateful American Veteran just to say "Thank you" for the sacrifice your family is making this Christmas season for the good of our country. May God bless your family and all other military families this joyous Christmas Season and throughout the coming years. Again, I thank your husband for serving our country and I pray for his safe return. From the Heart of an old Veteran. When I was done reading it I felt so much appreciation, I was very thankful and touched, I wish I could tell him thank you properly. On another note, The reserve center that Jaime mee

I wanted to inform everyone of the wonderful news! I will be working with the school district next Fall!!!! This school district is not the dream city I wanna work in but I do need a job.haha and I really just cant wait to teach:) even if it is just to tutor:) 1.Giving is fun,I love matching stuff with people, like my sister, she loves  starbucks coffee so Im for sure going to get her somthing in that category:) 2. Receiving is pretty awsome too. I actually dread it, only because I dont want to make a face if I dont like it, I dont know if I do that Im just saying. I hate to hurt peoples feelings. 3. The best gift I ever received was my doll house, when I was in Elementary. On christmas morning my sister and I were blown away when we saw two huge doll houses! We kept asking my parents how in the heck santa put these houses without waking us up. It was a pretty magical day:) One of my favorite memories of christmas.  I found this picture on flickr, Its the

Im 'Drew' from the Taylor Swift song!!!!!!

Well not literally but well let me just tell you the story..... In high school I had about 5 guy bestfriends, One my freshman year, one my sophmore year, two my junior year, and 1 my senior year. Well lets just say 4 of these guys thought that me wanting to hangout with them meant I liked them. Then some of them said I led them on, uhh...In what universe did I lead you on!(sarcasm)  Some of these guys were really good friends  until they told me that they liked me or they made a pass at me. Why couldn't anyof these guys just be my friend and not want anything more?  There was only 1 that stayed just my bestfriend and because of him, I had some really great times. Lets call him P. So anyways Today: I was on Facebook and P messaged me, just checking to see how I was and he was saying how he works with electrician now, and that he just got back from a job. I was was telling him that I was at home from School break. And out of the blue he said "you know i was pretty dumb but
