Dance Like Nobody's Watching

Today started off pretty depressing. I had an OB appt to get lab results to see if I was ovulating every month on my own, last month was good..this month...not so much. So we discussed our options. I can try fertility drugs and see if they help...or I chance it..every month. I haven't got a chance to discuss this yet with my husband, since you know, everyday communication with Afghanistan is frowned upon, but I've prayed about it and am putting it in God's hands. I'm also gonna to research every little thing known to Google about Clomid before the upcoming year. Came home slightly bummed, but my friends were amazing about it.

I'm finally not congested anymore, so I decided to warm my Scentsy up, blast the iPod, and danced and sung like crazy, because hey, no one's here to see =D. Felt amazing to just get everything off my mind, and be free. Then I glanced at the clock and realized my friend Danielle would be there soon, so I scrambled like crazy to get ready. But the 10 minutes of being ridiculous was awesome. Danielle arrived and we left to get snacks before we saw Footloose. Amazing movie. I seriously loved it. One of the character's, Willard, seriously reminds me of my hubs.(besides just the name) He's a small town boy with no dance skills =D.

After the movie we headed to Wal Mart to finish getting stuff for the soldier's stocking drive, and I continued to get stuff to spoil my soldier. Now I'm sitting on my couch, with my Lu girl cuddled up next to me, drinking a Stewart's Orange N'Cream fountain classic soda. So yummy.

Tomorrow's a long day. Got a maintenance order in, as well as an inspection of the air filter. Fun stuff.

Nighty night bloggers <3.

R.I.P. Baby Vaughan 01/05/2011

Today we remember those who were taken to soon, born sleeping & those who weren't on earth long enough. Today is international baby lost day. I'm thinking of my angel, as I do every day. And saying a special prayer for all my angel mommy friends. Don't forget to light a candle for our babies! And most importantly remember that while it breaks our hearts that they aren't here with us today, they are waiting for us & they have the BEST baby sitter!♥ (stole from Kim) R.I.P. baby Vaughan ♥ ♥ ♥.

Can't wait until you get home Will and we can try again.


And to all those other mothers who struggle with this day, my prayers go out to you <3.

Diddly-dee

Yesterday was the Ft.Bliss vs. Westboro Baptist Church counter-protest. It was fun. Will called early that morning, so he knew about my participation, all he said was not to get arrested because getting me out on bond while in another country could prove to be quite difficult. lmao. I was very excited to be a part of this. We helped a family's worse day from becoming even worse.

Then I went and got Baja Fresh for lunch again with Danielle. Walked to Walgreens due to my acid reflux acting up to get some Pepto, and found the coolest military appreciation card for Will. Went back to her house and hung out for a bit. 

Today was Girl's Day. Had pizza, and Lu got to play with Bella. Came home and gave her a bath, because she really needed one. Bought Zookeeper, Horrible Bosses, and Nicholas Sparks' new book 'The Best Of Me.' Turned on The Office. Did some laundry. Cooked an amazing meal.
Yummiest Thing Ever! Made mac & cheese and corn for my sides, even have dinner for tomorrow now. =D.

Had fun at Amber's party on Saturday. Ordered beer bread and chicken tortilla soup. Excited for it to come in =)).

And now  I'm laying down with my Lu girl, re-reading all of Will's messages to date,  and watching The Office. Only 2 more seasons left in my marathon =(.

Friday Fun

Yesterday I went out with my friend Danielle. She kept talking about Mexican food, and I was seriously craving it. So she introduced me to Baja Fresh. Amazing. Almost as much as Chipotle, and those who know me, know I looove that place. Then we went and got stuff for Will's unit stocking drive. And then we met up with Amber to go see Dream House. I actually really liked it, and it wasn't what I expected. Today I have a party to attend, then I'm coming home to watch The Office because my back is killing me =(.

Laundry, dishes, and The Office

My best friend got me addicted to The Office, and that's awesome, because that's part of what I'm filling my days with, lol. I got all seven seasons so far, and I'm on three, so I have a bunch to occupy my time, besides chores.
Speaking of chores, laundry sucks, lol. I kinda slacked on it, since I usually do it on Fridays, but Will was off, so I postponed it, till today. Not technically procrastination, since I have a valid reason as to why I postponed it =D. But today it just kinda crept up on me. I hate my apartment being cluttered. And when it's reaching that point, crazy Liz comes out =D.
Same with dishes. I hate my sink being full of dirty dishes. And it use to irritate me when a casserole dish had to soak overnight. But then Dawn, my lovely Dawn, came out with this new thing. Dawn Power Clean. Gives the same overnight results in about 10 minutes, it boasts 5, but I leave them a bit longer.

So I'm been filling my days with mundane tasks, and my friends. The ones in El Paso are amazing, FBing me, texting me, making me get out of the house. I appreciate those who've done that. I'm not one to usually call you up and hang out, idk why.  And then I have my friends in FL <3. They are my lifesavers. So far it's not too bad, it's kinda like a field problem, when he gets to Afghan though,..=/.

I'm trying to avoid Will's battles' FB, but one post got me scared. Someone posted 2 people died from  her unit, she hadn't left yet so I'm not sure if she meant over there,...or here in EP. Either way, it's sad. The virtual FRG hasn't posted anything, so I'm assuming it's here.

Be safe my love



...survived the first night. Barely. Woke up to his voice <3. He arrived at his first location safely.

Tomorrow is the day

...that the Lord hath made, and so I will rejoice in it (even if all I truly wanna do is cry.) Seeing Will say all of his last good-byes break my heart. We went out and saw 'Courageous' last night, and I immediately went to Target to buy the book. One minute I was crying, the next I was laughing hysterically. Which pretty much sums up my roller coaster of emotions lately. This weekend has FLOWN by. Friday we ran errands, got Transformers (AMAZING movie), dropped off a birthday present for our friends' son's 2nd birthday, and then we went to Las Cruces to eat McAlister's, got Will a few books picked out for deployment, and got him 2 new games for his PSP. Then yesterday we ate some Subway, watched the movie, and watched Transformers. I started having abdominal pain, but I'm hoping it's just nerves, and not worthy of another ER visit, so pray? Today, we may go see What's Your Number, but I'm not sure yet. I think Will is waking up, so I'm gonna end this blog. I apologize in advance if I don't post again until later this week.
