Morro Bay & Memorial Day

Saturday: Morro Bay with the Girls!

We had SO much fun! It was so nice to get out of Lemoore, it really felt like a vacation, even tho we only spent the day away. We laid out [[it was freeeeezing, like 54 degrees!]], walked thru all the shops along the coastline, had lunch at a cute little restaurant, got ice cream and just ENJOYED every second of our girls day! I don't even think it took us 2 hours to get there- 2 hours in a car with 3 other women goes by pretty fast, we're all easily entertained =) Here are a couple pictures:

This is Me and Emma... She's my best in Lemoore!

A Funny =)

Today is Memorial Day... I'd like to take one minute to Remember and Thank our Troops... all of them, all of our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, & Airmen around the world. God Bless Everyone in uniform & their families. I am very proud to be married to my hero, My Sailor is my very best friend! Here's to one of the 2 days of the year set aside for our military men [[and women!]] and to anyone that is spending the day remembering someone special to them!

Happy Mothers Day

Because today is Mothers Day, I think I'll write about my Mama. I can't even tell you how lucky I am to be blessed with the parents I have... I'm so thankful for both of them. I never realized how much my mom did everyday, or how much I was like her until I got married and moved out of her house... I don't know how she did it when I was growing up. Personally I feel like just keeping the house clean, cooking, doing laundry, taking care of the animals and my husband is a full time job... she did all that plus had JC and I AND a full time job! She really did teach me how to be a good wife to my husband, how to take care of him and the house, even if it doesn't come quite as naturally to me as it always seemed to come to her. Wierd similarities between me and my mom: 1.) I love having the house vaccuumed, I like when you can see the lines on the floor 2.) I can't relax until the kitchen is clean 3.) Cats <3 4.) I love country decor 5.) flannel pj bottoms... and these are just a couple examples- which I never noticed before! We only live about 9 hours away, but its just too far to make the trip for just a weekend so we've only been home 3 or 4 times since I moved here in September... which def isn't enough! I miss my family so much! I probably talk to my mom on the phone everyday... if not everyday then 5 or 6 days a week, seriously! She's always there for Matt and I anytime we need anything, her and my dad- both! I just want to say again that I am so blessed with my parents and I thank God for giving them to me, or giving me to them- I guess =) I love you, Mom! Happy Mothers Day!

Short and Sweet... Just like my mom!

When I become a Mama [[in a couple years...]] I hope I can be as good as my Mama always was, and is!

Dr Dr Dr... Military Wifeys

The past week has been full of Dr's appts... Monday Matthew had his wisdom teeth pulled. Wed. I went to the Dr. for my ear, which has been an on going ear ache for about 6 months... Apparently I "have alergies" I've NEVER had alergies before in my life, I must be alergic to Lemoore! I mean, that's what its gotta be, right?! AAAAND yesterday we had Matt's 3rd followup appt on his finger, and finally set the date for his next surgery, its set for the end of June.

I just found out what today is... it's Miltary Wife Appreciation Day... Hats off to all the military wives around the world. This lifestyle isn't easy and its not always fun- so here's to you... for coming second to your husbands job, for waiting when he's away, for moving when you're told, for taking the deployments as they come, for having just as much or more pride in your husbands lifestyle, and for simply loving and taking care of your hero everyday! We didn't all want to live like this, but we do and we make the most of it... Most of us probably never intended on growing up to be a military wife, but somehow someway there are thousands of us... I love being part of it, I love being part of the biggest sorority in the world- my life wouldn't be the same without all of my wifey friends. Happy MWAD!

Things have been fairly slow around here lately... not alot of excitement. I put in my application to work at the Liberty Center on base and called to talk to one of the women that work there, she said I would probably hear something in about 2 or 3 weeks! WOO! I'm keeping my fingers crossed... it would be perfect, its only about a 10 minute walk from my doorway and it would be good hours! =)

The weekend

This is just a picture from Matt's 21st... which was a wk and a half ago- I just think its so cute so, here it is!

The past week has been HEEEEEECTIC! My car stopped starting altogether so we had to get that taken care of and Matt was switched back to Midcheck [[10PM-8AM]] so we were all thrown off. He's been on days for a month or 2 now and I've been really used to it... I love him being on days and mids sucks so that's no good... anyways, last week he worked day check on monday then worked at night tues, wed, and thurs- on little to no sleep... no joke he went one day one literally 3 and a half hours of sleep, I hate having to change our sleeping schedules! BUUUUT we did get my car fixed on Thurs, it only took about 7 hours... haha! My dad told Matt it was just a connection but he insisted on taking the entire starter out and having it checked, so he did... of course it was fine, the connections just needed to be taken off and put back on =)

Friday night we had a couple of our friends over at our place... nothing too crazy, but it was a good time for sure! So Saturday I slept in, got up, got dressed... FINALLY got Matt up and dressed, went to town and didn't get home untill 2:15 or so and I had to be at my girlfriend Sonya's at 3 for her little girls 2nd birthday... She's SOOOO cute! It was an awesome little party for her too, the kids had a blast playing in the water and eating cupcakes and all that jazz. Matt joined us and 3 couples over there to hang out after the party ended and we had a really good time...When Courtney proceded to tell me that that was "her matt!!!!" she even took it to the point that she scooted me over, then climbed up in his lap, slapped my arms away and told me "NOOOO, that's MY MATTTTTT!!!!" I just told her "Nu Uh. He's mine..." And I kissed him, Oh no- she had it then, she started screaming and grabbed his face and kissed him TWICE! It was absolutely ADORABLE, she just loves him- yea, she told us all that she loves her matt, haha! Anyways, Then Anna & Lee came over to drink for a while... and Today was AWESOME, we slept until noon, cleaned the house, went grocery shopping, then bbq'd- just the 2 of us, and were lazy after dinner...

This is me and Court with the baby Matt and I bought her... So cute!

Matt's at work right now, and I'm being a reality TV buff- I can't help it... I'm addicted! =P

I've made a pact with myself to make May the month I finally get a job... Today I applied at Wamu online and emailed my resume to a Vet Hospital [[Vetrinary not Veteran, haha]] and left a message with a lady that needs an office assistant... Hopefully something will pan out. I'm really hoping to find something on base, but if not anything will work... I want to be completely debt free when Matt gets outta the Navy and that just won't happen without me working... and besides that I'm kinda getting bored and in a funk so I figure its time to get outta the house =) Wish me luck!
