The Journey to Me: Busy, busy me

Goodnesssss! I've been busy since moving down here (as it was to be expected)!! soo now..3 weeks later, i'm finally posting a blog. :D The move went smoothly, I got down here, and now Daniel is living with me! (He got SEPRAT last week). It is a good feeling to be living together again. Sure, getting up at 4a isn't easy--and its about to be even earlier... but i wouldn't trade it for the world. every minute i get with him, I'm soaking it up...we don't know what the future may hold. At the moment, we are both just enjoying being together...for the past 3 weeks, my main goal is to make sure the house is clean and that i have a dinner plan for whatever night it may be. I also have to go to the laundromat to do laundry (which is a pain in my ass, to tell you the truth--there is so much i could get done when i'm stuck there for 2 hours bored out of my mind!)...and i'm desperately searching for a decent priced washer and dryer. If we knew where we were going, we would probably purchase a brand new set from Lowe's or something...but we don't know where we'll get stationed and if its overseas--we can't take it with us. booo. so for now, i'm scouring craigslist and various fb pages for a set...with no luck.

Last week I attempted to start back working out...did C25K on Monday...thennnnnn the rest of the week went to the toilet. It rained for 2 days, i was sick for 2 days... and so yeah.. HOWEVER. One of Daniel's friends here at Keesler is married--and his wife just got here this past Wednesday. SO HAPPY. :D We are starting "girl's PT" on MWF--which we did yesterday and BOTH OF US were sooo much happier afterwards. so yes. i started back. hooray! and now i have a workout buddy so its gonna be harder to back out! lol thats a good thing. so on MWF, I'll be doing elliptical/stationary bike and my weights routine (which i am so incredibly sore and so thankful that Lori and Elle told me to start back with 5-lb weights because i would have died if i had attempted 8-lbs!!!!) and then on Tu/Th/Sa I'll be doing C25K and/or walking the neighborhood twice. (its about 1.25mi for the circuit i do...sooo thats 2.5 mi if i do it twice) and on Saturdays, Daniel said he would do it with me--so that will help. :)

Daniel and I are also starting a date night regimen...since we're trying to conserve and save money--we're doing it every other down friday (so 1x month), and those will be planned date nights and we will alternate who plans it. :) then on the other down fridays, we'll still go to dinner, but that one will be a joint effort. haha we want to try some of the local hole-in-the-wall restaurants...so that will be a good way to do it. :) down fridays are great days--and now they just got even better! hahahaha.

We have been to the beach once already, and it is beautiful. we are sooo incredibly lucky to be stationed down here through the summer (i may take that statement back here in the next couple months when the temps reach 98-100...buttttt for now, i love it!) We can't wait to go back to the beach once the water warms up. It was FREEZING. we like...put our feet in it...then were like "nope" and went and laid out on our towels and read. very relaxing. :) its nice to just be us. We haven't had this much alone time in FOREVER. its nice. I'm thoroughly enjoying it thats for sure! :) as for everything else, well...there really isn't much to say about it. haha. Our house is beautiful, and its weird to have a house. lol. we even have a small backyard...that is mostly sand and weeds...but its a yard! haha. we have some pictures up and we, for the most part, have our little house set up. :) theres a few things here and there that still need to be done or unpacked, but for now, we're good.

I did find out that we should know where his first duty station is in June sometime...so... i just have to wait 2 more months. haha. I think we're both anxious to find out. We decided that anywhere we go we'll be happy as long as those orders say ACCOMPANIED (meaning I can go). lol we're not quite ready for him to be deployed just yet. We know its a possibility, we also know theres a high chance of it... but we can hope and pray that they hold off a year before sending him off. haha

thus begins our lives as a true military family--nothing is guaranteed, nothing is set in stone, nothing happens fast, everything can change in the turn of a hat, and everything is a big HURRY UP AND WAIT. lol. but its our life, and we do what we can. As long as we have each other, we will be a-o.k. :D

and i do believe this concludes today's post. :) but i'll leave ya'll with a couple pics of the house. :) i will try to post again as soon as i remember. haha or something changes.
