Today started off an early one. Had to wake up early so I could head to the post office and mail Will his care packages. =). I'll post pictures soon, but one was essentials (soap, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, etc.) along with his PSP games (yes, my hubs' is a nerd =D) and the other one was filled with letters, cards, and a bunch of snacks. Boy Scout caramel popcorn, Halloween Oreos, Halloween goodie bags full of candy (with a stern note telling him to share ;) ), and sunflower seeds. At the commissary a few weeks ago, we had a case lot sale, and there were boxes of sunflower seeds with like 18 bags in each box, for $6. =D. Needless to say, I got 2, since Will's been obsessed with them every since he stopped dipping (I refused to kiss him if he had spitting tobacco in his mouth, and only after he brushed, flossed, mouthwashed, and brushed again would I relent...needless to say, he quit kinda quickly after a few times of that =D).
Then I headed to WalMart to return a fabric carrier for Lu that she was wayy too long for. Headed over to my friend's with Lu so we could hang out while our doggies played. They're so cute, even though it's taking LuLu forever to warm up to Bella.
Got a text the hard crate had arrived for in-store pick-up so we climbed into my Fusion to go pick it up. Came home and put it together, put Lu's bed and blanket in there, and was trying to get her use to it,but I gave up and am just letting her sniff it out until she decides it's acceptable. If you know my dog, she's a total priss. No lie. Kim tried giving her a treat, and she kinda just stuck up her nose at it..and then Bella stole it and quickly gobbled it up ;). I'm considering holding her favorite toy (a hedgehog) hostage in the crate, since I have like a week and a half to get her ready for it.
Randomly checked my E-mail, to find out I had one from my favorite guy. Nothing puts a smile on my face faster than hearing from him, hearing his name, or talking about him. I'm still completely twitterpated even after almost 4 years of being together (take THAT teenage marriage statistics). Still kinda bummed come June we'll have been married 3 years, and we've yet to spend an anniversary together...but that comes in the job title. He's pretty good at making me feel like a newlywed on just completely random days.
Oh! And this made me seriously cry(Kim's my witness).
My Momma & Gamma put in a picture of Will & I, with the caption "SPC William Vaughan recently deployed to Afghanistan from Ft.Bliss, TX. We love you and are so proud of you!'' I seriously love this picture of us, and it was nice to see that in the online edition of our local newspaper.

Ahh. I just love him to death =).
But it's late, and I better get to sleep. My 8 a.m. wake-up call comes way too soon. Hanging out with Amber tomorrow, gotta make it back home to receive my Fed-Ex package and get ready for the apartment inspection, oh joy ;).
Nighty night bloggers!
Your blogs just get me more more and excited that you're coming :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's great you were able to help your husband stop chewing - it really is a gross habit! And I hope your pup figures out the crate sooner rather than later :). I think the favorite toy is a good idea.
