Wow! I have been MIA for awhile now. Life has been crazy mostly good though but havent found the time to blog. Let's do a quick recap of what has been happening these last couple of months. By October of 2011 we moved back home to save up all the BAH we could becuase we didnt know what the future held for us after military life. We needed some security just in case. In November, my hubby applied for LAPD and we have been in the process ever since. We also traded in my hubby's truck for a 2012 Honda Civic because gas prices are outrageous and just keep climbing. In Decemeber, I traded in my lease for a Kia Optima. Not the car I intended on purchasing but you got to take 2 steps back in order to make a bigger leap. Right? At the beginning of the year, my hubby was able to put an early package out to have his EAS date sooner than April. It was granted and he was officially out March 5th! Thank goodness. Meanwhile, this entire time I had been doing an internship at a hospital in Newport Beach. In April, I took a CNA class and was certified in one month. Talk about an accelerated course. And just last weekend I finally graduated college with my Bachelor's in Science degree! Phew, took 5 years now off to get an MSN hopefully. I'll post pictures soon.

Until next time ♥

Back to school

This week I started school and thankfully it is my last semester. But there is one little problem, I need an English class to finish my degree and guess what? I CANNOT get into the class! Of course not, because if i could school would not be such a nightmare. Fortunately enough I am on the waiting list and waitlisted number 2. The professor is trying to do everything she can but cannot guarantee me a spot in her class. Best case scenario, I get into the class and I am done in December. Worst case scenario, I don't get in and I'll have to go register again in the Spring and pay full tuition for ONE class! Its outrageous how much school cost with all these budget cuts. I am crossing my fingers that I get into this class.

On another note, my hubby has been gone for about 3 weeks now. He went to the caribbean to some country (which i will not name for OPSEC reasons) to train. Why? I have no idea. Its not like he is re-enlisting and staying with the battalion to go on another deployment. His EAS is in April , but it is the MC so you never know what they are going to throw at you. But he does come home real soon and I cannot wait!

This weekend shall be fun. I am going to a street fair kinda like a Farmer's market with my sister on friday night, then to dinner and to the movie theatre. We will watch One Day, so if you haven't seen it i'll let y'all know if its good. But i heard some really good reviews and my sister read the book so i'm kinda excited. Saturday, I need to work for a few hours and then its off to the battalion's Family Day (i am only going because me and a few other wives have nothing to do since our husbands are gone and its free food) Then later that night going to a theme party "White Trash." I know the themed may be racist but I am not and find it pretty funny. Sunday's are now Study Sunday's. Blah! So ill be working on assignment to get ahead of all the school work.

I hope y'all have a great weekend.

Until Next Time ♥

Why I haven't been blogging

Just a short small post. I've been gone for a bit due to the fact that we don't pay for internet and we use our neighbor's wi-fi which is not locked and their internet has been down for awhile. But it looks like its up and running now. I also got married on July 16th so a week before that it was crazy busy and the week after the wedding was crazy having family around. And just a lot of things have been happening in life so its just been hard to blog about it all. Ill post some wedding pictures tonight. So stay tuned y'all!

And I am BACK!

Hello Bloggers! I am finally back... and ready to start blogging daily. As some of you may know I have been away due to the hubby being back home from deployment and all the madness that comes with the school semester ending. Well school is over and I couldnt be happier. I would of really liked a 4.0 this semester but unfortunately I got a 3.0 which is still good I guess. The hubby and I are just finishing post-deployment leave this week. We really didnt do much since were trying to save all the money we can for the wedding in July. So we went to Disneyland one day for free courtesy of Disneyland themselves and the rest of the time we spent it at home just hanging out. we went to dinner with friends, joined a crossfit gym (which by the way the hubby is in love with) and just enjoyed one another's company. Overall I enjoyed post-deployment leave =)

This entire month I been trying to find a dress for the Marine Corps Ball (were having a ball in June b/c the battalion was deployed in Nov. so they are making up for it) Anyways the Ball is in Vegas in 2 weeks and I do not have a dress. I been looking and looking and nothing really catches my eye. I found this one dress and it was really beautiful its was lime green (the color sounds not so pleasing but it really was once you saw it ) the only problem was that the back of the dress was too broad and fit me big. And it doesnt help that I dont really have big boobs so that part wasnt flattering either. Hopefully I find something in the next week.

I also have been couponing a lot and it has worked to my advantage. I have got a lot of stuff that I wont need to buy in the next few months. For example...Tampons, toothpate, toothbrushes, detergent, razors, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, hand soap etc. Couponing is a great thing and it can truly save you a lot of money if you learn how to do it well. You do not need to be extreme like the show extreme couponing and get 100 of the same items in order to save....4-8 of the same items will be just fine for 3 months and then you can re-stock.

Other than that I will make sure to keep reading all the past blogs i have missed out and comment on some of them too. I am so happy to finally have the time to blog. Yay for Blogging again =)

Until Next Time ♥

I've been MIA

I have been MIA since the hubby's been home. At the moment we have a lot going on right now and blogging has been really difficult for me to do. School is almost over, 2 more weeks of class and then Finals. Thank goodness, school is stressful and all these groups projects, presentations and papers are driving me insane and its all i've been doing lately. I also been trying to get back into the groove of things with the hubby being back home and that's been quite difficult too. This deployment has been a burden on the entire battalion and it is going to take awhile for all to adjust. This weekend the hubby and I are headed out to Indio, CA for Stagecoach! If you never heard of it, its a country music festival that include this year's artist of Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Josh Turner, Josh Ingram, Easton Corbin, Rascal Flats, Chris Young and many more. This will be our first big event together since the hubby has been back from deployment, so i am also nervous to see how he reacts to a crowd of people. Wish us luck and I'll be sure to post some pictures of our weekend soon.
Until net time ♥

Frustrated

I am blogging from my phone so sorry if I have some typos. I am so frustrated at the moment. I hate my job adjusting to life after deployment is not easy and I am stressed out with school. I want to hide! Agh I hope everything gets better soon.
Until next time ♥
