Keep you on your toes ...

Again ... Just a check in blog post.

I feel like with the next blog I write might cause some judgement. Not so much from my followers but more of a like vent-blog of people that judge .. Also with a major load of updates. Just need to get some final answers and then a post will be in order.

Promise.

I haven't forgotten or left you loveys. I could never.

There's just so much fuckin' bullshit  and drama going on that I cannot wait to vent to ya'll. I need to get it off my chest so badly. It's just waiting to get out in words, then maybe I will feel better. I mean, I'm okay anyways. I just .. Hate people. Ya know? I don't know. I will explain everything soon.

Keep tight. Hope all is well.

Until next time ...

Checking in ...

Been MIA due to R&R .. If you couldn't tell from the last blog post.

Soldier is asleep on the recliner right next to me. He got his leave extended due to doctor appointments. He is okay. Just with the bombing incident that happened in January, he didn't receive the proper tests in Afghanistan so both him and his higher ups discussed and decided that it would be best for him to get those done here at the hospital on Bragg and receive results then head back once everything is clear. Which will be in about another week. So .. Yay on the fact that he is staying a tad bit longer. Boo on the fact that we have to deal with doctors and the hospital. I hate the hospital .. And given our past with the hospital, I am terrified.

I will save that story for another blog entry.

So apologies for being MIA .. But I am sure ya'll understand. So in that case .. I'm not sorry.

Updates and pictures will be coming soon. Be patient.

Until next time ...

Wordless Wednesday ...

Welcome home, Soldier.

We love and missed you.

XOXO

Wordless Wednesday (Somewhat) ...

8 Months apart from one another

Couple more hours until we're reunited

I love you, Soldier.

Cannot wait to SEE you.

It is long overdue.

Our turn. <3

Blog Award ...

Well .. Gee. I just received my first blog award :)



I can't thank Allison, from Our Piece of Paradise, enough. This really means a lot to me because I just started blogging a couple months ago and am slowly gaining some followers. It is nice to get out my thoughts, frustrations, sadness, or any other emotion I am feeling through writing .. And to have people want to read and, at times, comment back. It makes me feel all warm inside.

So not only a big thanks to Allison for this award .. But to everyone else following and enjoying my blog! It is greatly appreciated.

So here are the rules:

1. Thank and link back to the person that has given you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award the blogs you feel deserve the award.
4. Contact these bloggers and let them know about the award.

Seven things about myself:
1. I hate pulling weeds. I refuse to do it.
2. I have a weakness for swedish fish and sour patch kids.
3. I am 3/4 Italian.
4. I studied Sign Language for two semesters. I miss it and want to become fluent in it.
5. I keep my inner teenager alive by watching Saved By The Bell every weekday morning.
6. I used to dance ballet for four years in high school. Miss it everyday.
7. I am a goof ball and I am more book-smart than street-smart. Just ask Soldier. I say some of the stupidest things .. But it makes him laugh, so it works out in the end.

Some of the blogs I love to follow and am always curious to see what is written next ...

Waiting for the Welcome Home Marine

Now on to do my preparations for Soldier's R&R homecoming. Time to get all prettified and to get the dogs ready for all our reunions!

Until next time ...

Tomorrow, tomorrow ...

"I love ya .. Tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow .. They'll be sun"

I am so exhausted I am not sure how I am still so incredibly giddy. I have been cleaning for what feels like forever and the house is finally clean. Finally done. Well .. Until the boys reek havic tomorrow and mess it all up before Soldier gets home.

*Sigh* I did the best I could to keep it spotless. He will probably not even notice and just want to sleep immediately. I don't blame him. Poor guy, just called me and sounded like he was about to fall asleep right on the phone. Well he will be getting some much-needed sleep very, very soon! Eeeek. Too exciting.

Our turn is finally here. Fin-a-lly! I have waited eight months for this reunion. Although it is just R&R. It is still a reunion. A long time away from one another and it is going to be incredibly amazing to see and kiss and just never let him go for the entire two weeks I have him for. I know it will all be perfect in it's own little way.

I just wanted to write a little to let ya'll know I will most likely be MIA for the next 14/15 days while Soldier is home. But don't you even worry .. I will update with pictures and videos and everything once I am not busy.

I am hoping to capture the reunion with the boys and Soldier on video .. So be on the look out for that one! I think I am more excited for the reunion with the boys rather than my own .. Wait, a second. Noooo. I lied. Well, maybe not. I think it's a close tie. All I know is that I cannot wait to have him in my arms again. Wish me luck on getting a (semi) decent amount of sleep tonight .. If I can even fall asleep. Sheesh. Stupid anxious and giddy feelings. Well, they're not stupid. But .. You know what I mean!

Lots to look forward to! Take care everyone. Be back in a while.

Until next time ...

Meet me on Monday ...

So I am needing something to keep me occupied today unless I am just going to clean, clean, and you guessed it .. Clean some more!

Any day now! Eeeeek.

Just got a phone call from Soldier. Eeeek. I am so giddy right now. It is becoming that much more real. It is FINALLY almost our turn. So soon. So freakin' soon! Ahhhh.

Now to calm down, if that is even possible, and answer some fun questions.

Eeeek!!! :)

Go link up with Life As I Know It and answer some fun, get-to-know me questions!



Question One:
What jewelry do you wear 24/7?

Answer: My wedding ring of two years. Promise ring of three years. And a little Mexican bracelet that Soldier bought me on our pre-deployment cruise last June. I used to wear an anklet that he also bought me, but that broke .. But this little bracelet is holding on, and I am determined to make it last all deployment.

Question Two:
Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it?

Answer: Have to represent my Italian side and twirl it.

Question Three:
How many siblings do you have?

Answer: One sister, one half-brother, and one half-sister. (Don't really technically consider my half-sister as family. Long story. One that I probably will never tell.)

Question Four:
Were you named after anyone?

Answer: I don't believe so .. But, I was named Carly for the first day I was born. Then my Mother looked at me and said, "She does not look like a Carly." And changed my name to Sarah. I have insanely curly hair, I could not imagine growing up as Carly with the curly hair.

Question Five:
Coke or Pepsi?

Answer: Diet coke. Damn in-laws got me hooked.
