We are moving in 3 weeks to Washington! We just found out we got a house!! Very Very excited!!! Next Friday we are taking our first family vacation to Florida for a week to Walt Disney World!! I've cut out a lot of unnessecary drama in my life. And ever since then its been smooth sailing!! Got rid of all the judgemental people in my life, who acted as if they knew me and could speak on my behalf! Met some amazing New friends! who have supported me and completely changed my life!!! I will truely miss all the amazing friends I have met here on this 5 year journey in Port Hueneme!!!! Can't wait to see what our journey will be like in the next few years!! :)

A Little Update

So we are 6 months down with this deployment. Not too much longer to go. It's been an eventful 3 months, Since I've last posted on here. Logan made his wonderful arrival. I was having very high blood pressure. Had to go to the hospital more than a handful of times. So on the last visit my blood pressure was 153/103! Yikes!! So I went in and saw my Dr the next day, and my blood pressure was stil high. She decided to induce me at 37 weeks. So on Dec 16, 2010 i went in.It was a very different experience compared to Landon thats for sure! I went in about 8am, and they hooked me up to IVS and did all my vitals. At 9am they gave me a pill to soften my cervix, and i was 2cm dilated. at about noon they checked me again I was only at a 3. Around 230 the dr came in and broke my water so thing could start going. At 245 I got the epidural. around 4 the nurse checked me and i was at a 9!!! we waited and waited for the dr, and abour 445 she came in, and i wasnt ready to push yet, so we waited...around 5 maybe a little after i was like OKAY its time!! LOL. And i pushed maybe 3 times. had to wait for a few contractions, but only 3 pushes and he was here!! He was born at 5:14pm and weighed 5lb 15oz and was 19in long!!! Handsome little Logan Thomas

Three Months Down....

Well tomorrow means....month 3 down!! So far it's been a fast paced deployment.. I've been keeping busy! I'm already 30 weeks pregnant!!! I can't believe it!! Just 10 more weeks until I get to meet my new little prince!! After Logan makes his appearance, my life will be one big blur, and then the blur will come to and end when my wonderful husband walks off that plane!

I've been making sure to protect my family. After recent events, I am contemplating deleting all friends ( that arent like family to me) from facebook. I don't like the feeling of random people contacting me through facebook, whom I dont even know. And the threats, and the drama are just something I don't need in my life. especially when I have 2 little mans depending on me to protect them. I understand people like drama, but to go around to people on a base where i am going to be living again and giving them my personal info is crossing the line. I'm not sure if i'm paranoid, but anyone who is associated with this person scares me. I dont know what to post, what to say, even what pictures to post. I don't want this person knowing anything about my life or who's in it. I love them all, and I know they have the best interest at heart. But its still unsettling. And i think it's time to do something about it!!

November should hurry and come already!! Please and Thank You!

Afghanistan and Deployment

This deployment has been a whirlwind. Its had its ups and its downs. But i'm thankful for everything i've been put through cause it has only made me stronger. My husband and I have only grown as a couple, we've seen what we have, and we don't take it for granted. Having him over there while i've been pregnant has been a challenge. I do worry a lot. Which is hard not to do, but I do try not to. I know its not good for either of us, and saying I will stop worrying is easier said than done. But this too shall pass.

I'm getting excited for the future, we are currently looking at orders to move!! So exciting. I've honestly never been so excited about anything in my life. Don't get me wrong I've met some of the most amazing friends out in Port Hueneme, but had my fair share of unwanted drama. My opinion is Port Hueneme is a highschool, and after 4 years of it, you want out. I will look back at all teh find memories and forget all the horribles i've endured.

I know what being a friend is, and to me a friend isnt someone who lets others talk down on someone you call you friend. If I had to sit through someone talking badly about a friend of mine, I wouldn't just sit there and jump in on the fun. I would sit there and defend my friend till the end, and let this person know that you don't appreciate them talking badly about anyone you know, and if they want to be friends with me, to respect that and not bring up bad things that aren't true around me. Quite frankly you're no friend of mine.

People are getting word from someone about me that are completely and utterly untrue. And if you wanna sit there and believe her and not tell her I wouldn't do it, than why even bother calling me a friend! Defend me, stick up for me, and let them know I wouldn't ever spread such horrible lies about you or your husband. I don't know you, I didn't care to know you so please respect my decision of not wanting you in my life. And not spread such horrible things about me.

In the end, I'm ready to go, to move onto something new. And i am so excited to get away from that place and concentrate on my beautiful little family. I'm realizing the true meaning to a friendship, and soon, you'll know if I consider you one of them!! No hard feelings! But thats just that.

On a good note, I'm 7 months pregnant. Which i can't believe it's gone by so fast!! On saturday i'm having an ultrasound done, and they will make a special dvd for jake for me to send to him since he's deployed of our little guy! Its amazing, i'm so glad he kinda gets to be a part of it! Even though he is so far away!! He misses us, and he does so much for us it's unbelievable. I wake up everyday wondering how the heck I got soo lucky with this man who loves us SO much!! he is my hero, my love, and my everything. I'm truely blessed. Almost at our 4 year wedding anniversary!! And almost 5 years since we officially we've been dating!! Love love love him to death.

At the end of the day my husband and my 2 sons are everything that matter to me!!

All my family and my closest friends are such a blessing!

I'm very lucky with the life I have.

Wouldn't change it for the world.

Scrapbooking...

I'm excited...to get all the stuff I have out here, unpacked and put away, that way i can start my one true hobby and passion up again! I haven't started it up since Last deployment and i have no idea why i stopped. I think i stopped because Jake was home, and i guess i spent my time with him and my son more than i didnt with scrapbooking!! I'm working on 2 books right now for Landon. One of them is for me to remember all my wonderful moments I've shared with him, and of course all the wonderful moments Jake has spent with him. And the second one is going to be for him, the first year of his life i will be doing a page for every month, and then after that, 1-2 pages of his life that year! I can't wait to start it up again, i am jumping with joy inside!! But i cant for the life of me, find the motivation to unpack all this stuff i have! it's soooooo overwhelming. But i will get it going!

Heard from my love today, on the phone! Which was a true suprise figuring we have only been skyping this whole time since he left. And Landon got to talk to his daddy and he was just talking up a storm ! Man was it cute. I've been trying to keep him busy and of course myself busy that way the days go by fast, and those days we dont hear from him we dont think about NOT hearing from him.

We are two weeks down!! Its been going sooooo fast! And i hope it continues to be this way!! And if it doesnt i have absolutely no reason to be negative! :)

TWO days TWO long.

Well I finally heard from my hubby!! And I gotta say it was amazing!!! I know I hadn't heard from him for only 2 days!! But it was hard because he is in the same place as a bunch of my friends, and they were hearing from their husband 3-4 times daily! And I hadn't for TWO Days lol. But my turn came and I got to talk to him for almost 2 hrs while I was cleaning up the kitchen. It was amazing to see Landon and him interact. Landon loves his daddy so much and was smiling from ear to ear!! It had me in tears. Unfortunetly I don't know when the next time I'll hear from him! Which completely SUCKS! But welcome to the deployment life yet again! I did not miss it thats for sure.

I'm currently packing up and cleaning this house we are in. And it's been hell! Not to mention Landon's sick now. And won't stop screaming!! And this seriously is the LAST thing I need. Poor thing. I probably will end up sick. So please, please,please, not let me get this cold or whatever is going on with him. I'm just wanting to leave this horrid place. And be with my family. Landon will be so much happier down there, and honestly soo will I.

And this is just the beginning of this deployment, I hope it only gets easier!

Deployment is here yet AGAIN :(

So the dreaded day has finally come, and the love my life is gone again for another 8-10 months!!! I knew it was coming and I expected to feel this way!!! But it still is just has hard as ever. I thought with each deployment that went by, the goodbyes would get easier and the time wouldnt be so bad apart. BUT I was wrong. They are just has hard, in fact they get even more hard. This one was especially hard cause he is deploying to Afghanistan. And I am currently 16 weeks pregnant, with an almost 2 yr old. Each deployment more and more elements get put into this equation. I'm so proud of my husband and couldn't of asked for a better man!! I'm sure i'll have my ups and downs!! Well, thats a given cause its everyday life. But i feel confidant in the friends I have and I know I have the support I deserve. No more drama, No more nothing. Just amazing people who are going to support me in my time of need, good or bad, and they have an amazing friend in me, who will return the favor in their time of need, good or bad. I'm thankful for my family. They are going to be my rock while he's gone. And my support during this pregnancy. And i know at the end of the day I'm going to kick this deployments ass!!
