Thursday Five

 

It's Thursday and time for Thursday 5! Link up with Flip Flops and Combat Boots!!

  I haven't done one in a while but It's a great way to reflect on the week!

Just come up with five things that are:

Irresistible

Positive

Successful

Vibrant

Glorious

1. Hubby is always Irresistible, Just by being him. He's always surprising me with something and even with us apart, He still is so irresistible.

2. With Hubby deploying soon, I can't be Negative. Baby Brayden helps me stay Positive. I'm already in love with him and he's not even here yet. =D

3. I was Successful yesterday in not Going extremely crazy in the Baby Department. I tend to go crazy in Baby clothes. I haven't had my Baby Shower yet and His Closet is already full.

4. I Love Vibrant Colors. I show that off in my photography.

5. The most Glorious thing being pregnant is feeling my son Move & Kick. I Just Love to feel his little feet, butt and head when he pops one out, so to speak. =)

I hope everyone has a good rest of the day/evening.

Playing Catch-up. 30 Days of me, Days 13 - 16.

Since I've been MIA since January, I need to get back to 30 days of me. So in this post I'm going to do a few days. I promise I'll do an actual post soon. I'm just super busy right now getting ready for my trip to see hubby.

Day 13: A fictional book

I absolutely love Nicholas Sparks and ALL his books. I'm sure everyone's either read this book or seen the movie based off of it. But it's basically a love story. I love it! For more info on it go here.

Day 14: A non-fictional book

This book was written by a Army Wife named Sara Dawalt. I just love this book. I bought it on Amazon during Michael's last deployment for a kind of encouragement. I got quite a few of them actually. But I love this book alot. Sara talks about her personal experiences during her husbands 365 day deployment to Iraq. After I finished reading it, I had my mom read it so she could get a better understanding of what I was going through. If you want to know more about it or even buy it, click here.

Day 15: A fanfic

Ummmm...So I have no idea what this is so I cant really put anything here. lol.

Day 16: A song that makes you cry (or nearly)

The first time I heard this song, it was just a couple days after we found out Hubby was deploying again So I was already emotional but this song had me bawling. I love it.

That's it for today! More Tomorrow. I hope everyone had a Great Tuesday!

Putt-Putt Golf, Bowling, Fishing, Geocaching, The Park....Pretty much anything outdoors if it's nice out. If its not nice out then Movies or Just staying in.

Ummm...Yeah, I have no idea honestly. Lol. I would love to be stationed in Italy though.

If you missed my update below, Check it out.

Updates!

Hey Everyone!! It's been a while since I've updated! I'm so sorry, My Internet for some odd reason always acts up when I get on Blogger. There's SO Much to catch everyone up on!!!

in March we found out Michael was deploying for a year. It was devastating especially when it meant He's going to miss the birth of our First Child & the first 10 months of our Child's Life. We tried so many things to stop it from happening but unfortunately he's deploying Very soon. On March 30th We found out the baby is a BOY!!! We're naming him Brayden Michael and he's Due August 19th!

In April, I moved home to Missouri to be with Me & Hubby's Families while he's deployed. Hubby left for Combat Training and is currently at Training.

This month, I've just been spending my time with family and friends...And Buying Baby Stuff! Hubby has a 4 day weekend at the end of this month and can leave training for them 4 days So I am flying back to Louisiana to spend those 4 days with him. I can't wait to see him & I am So excited that he finally gets to feel Brayden kick!! He wasn't kicking yet when we said our goodbyes in April. After that 4 day weekend Hubby will be going back to finish his training & I will be flying back to Missouri. Hubby will Deploy shortly after and We won't see each other until He comes home for his R&R and Brayden will probably be about 4 months old then. =( I knew what I was getting into when we said I do but I just never imagined us being one of the couples who gets pregnant and wont be together at the birth. It's killing me and I know its killing him. It's heartbreaking but we will survive. We're a strong couple and now Family.

Well, I think that's about it. Brayden's a healthy growing baby, He kicks mommy more & more everyday. He discovered my ribs yesterday :/ lol. Well, Its late and I need to get some Sleep. I promise I'll be on more often! I hope everyone has a Great Weekend!

Well, I have some News!! as you all know, I miscarried in September and me & hubby have been TTC again. Well guess what happened December 12th?!?! Let me just show you a picture:

Yep!! We're pregnant again!!! What a great early Christmas gift it was to us. I went to my OB office last week. We got an ultrasound, got to hear the heartbeat for the first time, and seen the nurse practioner. (My OB was booked). She said the baby looks great, heartbeats regular, I'm healthy. Now I have my first OB appointment this morning. So I will keep ya'll updated. I ask you guys send us prayers, positive thoughts and sticky dust. This baby HAS to stick.

I'm Bacccckkk...Missouri Trip

Hey Everyone!! I know I've been MIA...again. We went to Missouri for the month of November to see Family & Friends and of course Hunting Season. More on that later. Last week after we got back we were decorating our house for christmas and enjoying hubbys last few days of leave. But Now he's back to work, So I'm back full swing....That is if my internet decides to agree. I tried submitting the MilSpouse Friday Fill-In Friday but my internet didn't agree.

Well...On to telling ya'll about Missouri. We had a great time! Many Amazing things happened while we were visiting our families. Michael and I became Aunt and Uncle again...Michaels Stepbrother & Fiancee had a beautiful babygirl, Brooklynn Grace on November 16, 2010 at 6:35 AM.

Michael did great on his Weekend hunting trip with his dad...He got 3 Bucks, Two Big 10 Pts and One 8 Pt and A Doe. For those who dont know nothing about hunting and scoring...Thats Awesome!

Also While in Missouri We went bowling with friends



Me



My Best Friend



Michael taught our nephew how to shoot a bow

After attempting with my bow...He went and Bought him his own bow for Christmas.

We had a great thanksgiving with our families. Michaels buddy broke his arm riding a 4 wheeler while there. I got really close to My Mother-In-Law and family. All in all it was a great trip. and with that I will leave you....Until tomorrow....
