Coming from a military family, any patriotic holiday has always had a pretty big meaning to me. But ever since last year, it's meant more. You see, July 6th 2012 is when God graciously returned Will to me, safe and sound. I'm already tearing up as I write this. This year, Will was stateside so we went all out. ❤
Wednesday we started leave with a few drinks and games with a new friend who just moved here. Thursday, we slept in. It was amazing lol. We had ribs for lunch and we played the PS3 and watched movies. Basically, the perfect lazy day. That night we watched a gorgeous firework display courtesy of the El Paso Diablos. Friday....was summer cleaning. We vacuumed, washed the walls, shampooed the carpets, steam mopped the floors, cleaned the bathroom, laundry, dishes, you name it. Tons of manual labor but our apartment looks amazing. And with my new Scentsy fragrance, Tingelo, it smells amazing too. Saturday, we were suppose to have company but plans change. It turned out amazing because we ended up going out to eat at Applebee's and watching White House Down. We love Applebee's dinner for $20. We actually both ordered the same meal, usually doesn't happen that way lol. Both we both got the steak, medium rare (I like if its still mooing ;) ) with their yummy potatoes and mixed veggies. We got a later movie time so we could walk through the nearby stores, Babies R Us, Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl's. I spend too much time and money in all three. Even though Will & I are taking a break from expanding our family, I still love looking and planning. (And that's why Pinterest exists) We actually fell in love with some bedding sets, and (gasp) we agreed on them! Normally we reach a compromise on things, but we both fell in love with the same ones. When we went to B,B & B we realized we saved a bunch on our joint anniversary gifts ( the afore mentioned steam mop and carpet shampooer.) This makes me incredibly happy since I love saving money. We realized we were running out of time so we rushed through Kohl's, which our bank account was pleased with =P. And then, after purchasing the mandatory small popcorn and Icee, came Mr.Channing. It was such a good movie, I almost cried like 10 times because I'm a tad bit of a crybaby, but I loved it. And of course Will loved the guns and explosions. You would think he'd get sick of it but nope. Not yet. Sunday was another lazy day. We started the National Geography documentary series Lockdown on Netflix. Again, Will is obsessed with this kind of stuff and it can be interesting. And he grilled out again, made some chicken & ribs and baked beans with sweet tea. Yummy yummy. Our $20 grill from WalMart has gotten so much use in the 3 years we've owned it. When we move and get a house, I hope to upgrade for him. =)
Speaking of upgrades, I think I FINALLY decided on a career choice. I'm still researching but I'm fairly confident dental assistant is gonna be a good fit for me. I'm pretty excited about it. My Momma made me a deal and said if I do well, she'll buy my first uniforms. Idk about y'all, but since she was a nurse, I've always loved scrubs so I'm happy. My Momma, Gamma, Will and close friends are always my biggest cheerleaders and I'm so blessed to have the support system I do.
Hope this post finds everyone well!!!
