He's Okay

Sorry to leave everyone hanging.

Now that we are in the clear, I'd like to let everyone know my husband is going to be fine. He gave us quite a scare and we are very, very lucky that he's alive. It very easily could have gone the other way.

I'm not going to go into details until after the deployment is done because of OPSEC but for those of you who left encouraging words, thank you very much.

The Call No Military Wife Wants...

And I got it.

I'm grateful he is alive.

The words med-evac just ring in my ears now.

We aren't 100% in the clear. He is under observation for a few days.

I still feel numb.

I'm Back! And with a MilSpouse Fill in!

1. Were you named after anyone?
My first name was just a name both of my parents liked and my middle is after my great grandmother, Marie.

2. What color, if any, are your toenails usually painted?
I usually go french or a deep red.

3. How do you flush a public toilet? Hands? Feet? Something else?
Depends on how skanky the bathroom looks but mostly my hands and I just wash very well afterwards.

4. When you were a little kid, what TV character did you have a crush on?
JTT. Yep, I admitted it. Well more so Leonardo DiCaprio. I swore I was going to marry him.

5. Let's say you had to lose one of your five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell). Which one would you choose?
I think taste. I'm not one of those "food lovers" so I could go with everything tasting bland. Sure would help with weight loss :)

Wordless Wednesday

Update about not updating

(I've needed a whole lot of this lately)

I am going to be MIA for the next few weeks. I am drowning in school work and with finals only a week and a half away I need to be focused on getting through those.

Have I mentioned I haven't even looked at the syllabus for them yet?

These classes are going to be the death of me. I have had the heaviest work load without much room to take time and work on my final bit by bit.

Its almost over. Then I've got to figure out how to pay for the next two until myCAA actually does their job and pays my tuition like they promised.

2 months till we head back!

Milspouse Friday Fill In

1. Are you a night owl or an early bird? I kind of have to be both at this point serving dual roles as a mom and a student. Shane is up anywhere from 6:30 to 7:30 and I am up to usually midnight working on school work.

2. What makes you jealous? Moms who bounce back like they didn't just have a baby. It's been a long road for me...

3. Have you started Christmas/holiday shopping yet? When will you finish? (There’s only 63 days left!)

Yes and am actually almost done. I have everyone's gift picked out if I haven't already ordered it! I plan to not be in a retail store after December 1st.

4. What would you have a personal chef make you tonight? Ohhh... some sort of fabulous salad with steak and gorgonzola cheese. Okay mouth is officially watering.

5. Where was your first kiss? Is it bad that I don't really remember? I remember the first silly kiss when I was like 10, but I really can't remember my first actual kiss.... I DO however remember Matt and I's first kiss. All of our first (well ALMOST all... you'll see why its an almost) happened on a front porch of some sort. The first time we kissed was on our friend Paul's front porch and the first time he said "I love you" was on his parents front porch.
