Waiting

Waiting
The days pass by so slow.
He's on her mind from the minute he has to go.
Field trainings are an everyday part of life.
So much for the glamorous Army wife.
She waits up until midnight, just for that one text.
She wonders when she'll see him next.
Homecomings are emotion-filled, tears everywhere.
But they're short, next thing you know, he's no longer there.
Most people have forgotten about the war.
But every day ticks closer to when he leaves, for a year or more.
The flag flies proudly, your heart swells with pride,
as you look to your left, to the soldier by your side.
But I know we've got a love that's Army strong.
And I know together we belong. 6.12.09.

No more worrying.

HSG came back with amazing results. My doctor prioritized my results seeing as she leaves soon, YAY! She was concerned about my left tube, and asked if my test went normally. I was honest and told her as soon as they had me roll unto my left side ( after injecting the iodine dye and inserting the CATHETER into my uterus), I had incredible pains, and she looked and determined this was caused by stress to my ovarian cysts. So she said the shot that showed my left Fallopian tube was due to that. But both tubes passed the dye normally, and the images showed both tubes were open and working well. My cervix and uterus were both deemed normal, and in perfect baby-making condition, and everything else down there is good to go. She suggested I start taking prenatals 3 months before trying, but this ectopic pregnancy should be the last, as there is no evidence of anything wrong. My fertility levels are apparently high. And I go for a vaginal ultrasound to check about my ovarian cysts Friday. SO! I'm extremely relieved, and ready to have fun with Miranda and Taylor without any concern for my health, FINALLY.

Week recap

Monday..I took a very good friend and her adorable son to the airport =). Came home and started my Grey's Anatomy marathon. I promised Will I'd watch all the seasons so we could finally watch season 6...in time for season 7's release. As of  now, I'm on season 4, go me. =).

Tuesday, went swimming with the girls. It was a lot of fun. We all decided to go to the gym afterwards, and we braved spin class..for 30 minutes of torture. =/. Let's just say I slept amazingly that night ;).

Wednesday, a friend and I went to the outlet mall and the Sunland Park Mall. Got frozen lemonades, which were amazing =).

Thursday I continued my Grey's marathon, and went to the gym that night. Walked 2 and a half miles, and climbed 158 feet with the incline the treadmill uses. =D.

Yesterday I hit up the PX for the CG Nature lip balm. Got $5 off two, so I spent $6.98 on two, which was awesome. Also got another Smashbox eyeshadow, OPI's nail strengthner and a few make-up brushes. Pre-ordered Will's game for him, and went to the mall for a pair of shorts. Pretty good day.

Today is beginning with Grey's, and going swimming again later =).


Oh! And my friend's tickets are ordered and paid for. They arrive on the 20th, so I'm really excited.

Tomorrow is also my 2 year anniversary, and I doubt I'll even be able to hear his voice on it. But..we'll survive =).

Can't believe 2011 is already  halfway over already. Good night everyone!

Go figure (this is me whining!)

I can't sleep the last night I'm able to sleep next to the hubster =(. I reallyyyy don't care if anyone rolls their eyes as they read this. I fully understand this isn't deployment, and he'll be home soon...but, I miss Will like crazy when he's gone...and I don't think I should have to apologize for that. ( Please, remove my blog from your feed if you have an issue). This past week I've barely ventured out into society unless it was to spend time with him. I did go swimming with some friends today =)...and got my make-up. Then hung out with Will and grabbed some yummy dinner at Carino's. Shrimp scampi, Caesar salad, yummy bread, and happy hour drink specials make for a happy Vaughan family. I got a Cosmo while Will bravely tried this Italian spritzer. Came home to it raining again...sorta lol.

My Too Faced eyeshadow is this:

(boy toy)

And my Smashbox is:  Rapture.

Both were WAY cheaper than Merle Norman, and I supported the PX =D. (so yay for tax free shopping + discounts!)

If these last, I'll look into expanding my collection. Pretty excited about the subtle shimmer in both of them.

Anyways, I'm about to do my May faves blog, and head to bed. =)

This week is too short

I cannot believe May is over already! I've been busy the past couple of days. We had Beer Olympics Friday, Slumber Party Saturday, and our anniversary date Sunday. We went out for dinner & saw Hangover Part 2. Great movie!  Monday we stayed home, cleaned, and packed =/. Tuesday, went out to lunch and then spent the evening with Will. Today we paid bills, and got some amazing food. I had smoked turkey, potato salad, and peach cobbler while Will had a beef brisket sandwich, cole slaw, and banana pudding, and we both had actual sweet tea. =D. Got good news today. My friends are purchasing their airplane tickets Friday! Thank goodness I have something to look forward to in June =/. But we came home and watched 10 Things I Hate About You, and it started to rain! After 100 and something days without it. We stood outside in it like cool kids ;). Now I'm updating my blog, and reading the newest Cosmo. I'm in dire need of a new eyeshadow, and I'm considering trying Smashbox make-up...if anyone has tried it, let me know your thoughts =D. Merle Norman in El Paso irritated me by trying to sell me over-priced make-up =/, even called the one in the Oaks Mall to confirm the price is set by the company. So..my addiction has to wait until we're in FL again. =(
Anyways, off to finish Cosmo. Nighty-night bloggers. =)
