The countdown beings

Like the title of this post, the countdown to homecoming starts now! I am outrageously happy and giddy and super emotional. Now I wont say when my husband is coming home but its super soon only a matter of ___days! I got to talked to him again today and well we talked about his "best friend". If you read my last post then you'd know that I am not a fan of my husband's "best friend". My husband finally got the picture and now understands where i'm coming from with this whole best friend situation. I think it took him a whole deployment to a foreign country to realize it. So we'll see how this "best friend" thing plays out...maybe he will be searching for a new best man. Today, we also talked about how much we both would like to spend a lot more time outdoors than indoors catching up on shows and what not this spring/summer. We have decided that we are going to buy bikes and well since gas prices are high now we can bike ride everywhere. I know this sounds kinda of dumb ....like how are they going to bike ride everywhere? Well we live in a city where everything is near by. There are about 2 parks, a huge shopping center and about 2 other shopping centers that are about 1-2 miles away from us. So i think bike riding will be fun and were getting some exercise in too. We have decided to go hiking (he wasnt to fond of the idea b/c obviously Marines go on hikes and he hates them) but the hikes i want to go on are nothing compared to the hikes they do at Camp Pendleton. There are a lot of hiking trails in the area so it will be great to explore new things. He likes the idea of me becoming or at least trying to spend time outdoors because he loves nature....me not so much but i am willing to try new things...who knows i might like it.
Well that enough for me bloggers.
Until next time ♥

8 months to late

Today I got to talk to my wonderful husband! It was pretty awesome, thank goodness I took my laptop to school with me because if not I would of missed the opportunity to chat. Anyways, my husband has a friend he considers to be his "best friend" and is going to be his "Best Man" for the wedding. I personally dont care for the guy, I never liked him as a person and quite frankly I am not a fan and don't think i ever will be. He has done some shady things in the past that has made my husband upset but yet my husband still considers him his "best friend". Whatever right? What can I do about it...nothing but to voice my opinion and even then its like i am talking to air. So i dont say anything anymore. A couple of months ago I messaged his "best friend" asking him for his address because i was sending out save the dates for the wedding. I wrote this nice message asking how he was and i hope he is doing well and what not, I was being very professional. In return all i wanted was a "hey thanks here is my address, how your doing well too" WRONG! All i got was a message back with the address. Not a thank you, or a hey...hi or anything just the damn address. Well that pissed me off because i was being nice. The least he can do was " hi here my is address. have a good day." Nope! So now since my husband is coming home soon, my sister and I are having a welcome home bbq for my husband and I thought I would invite his "best friend" and some of his other friends who are not in the Corps. I sent him a message and let him know when this welcome home bbq was and all the details. Yet i never got a response back from him saying thank you, i hope to be there. Nothing yet again. Throughout deployment my husband always asked hey have you talked to "my best friend" ..."has he said anything" ....I havent got a letter from him or anything....no emails back... nothing". I know if my best friend was deployed i would write letters, send a care package, send a reply email. I know he is a guy but that dont mean he cant reply to an email. Hell, when my brother was deployed his best friend send him care packages and 3 letters telling him that he supports him and that he cant wait until he comes home so they can drink together. So i dont understand why my husband "best friend" never cared or asked how deployment was going or anything. Well guess what??? Today i get a message from him asking me this ...exact quote" Hey so when is ____suppose to be back? I wanted to throw my phone across the room when i saw it. Oh now that he knows my husband is coming home and that he will be local, they can hang out and do guy stuff....he wants to know the exact date of when he is coming home! NO! You dont get to know when he is coming home and you dont get to be there at the parade deck to welcome him home. Where the hell have you been for the past 8 months while he has been in hell and could of used some moral support from his own best friend! Obviously not there, so you dont get to be there now! Your 8 months to damn late! <<--- i wish i could have said all of this in a message but i didnt .....for my husband's sake. This gets under my skin so much and i wish i could tell him but because he is my husband's "best friend" I have to keep the peace. (GRR!) I may be overreacting but this is how i feel about this situation and i have no other way of getting it out than by blogging. I sure hope his "best friend" shows up to the bbq and if he doesn't that will show my husband that his so called "best friend" isn't worth it. (I kinda hope he doesnt show up too, but then again my husband will feel let down and i dont want him to feel that way either) Its a lose/lose situation. Until next time ♥

Love LOVE love Wednesday!

Wednesday! Probably the best day of the week and its hump day so the week is almost over. Thank goodness. This morning I had to pick up my husband's truck from Pep Boys because while i was driving yesterday it got a nut stuck in its rear tire and i am pretty sure it was going to become a flat tire. So I took it to Pep boys last night to get it fixed and they were so busy that they told me to leave it overnight. The good thing is that Pep Boys is across the street from our apt. in a shopping center so it was easy to leave it there and walk home. Anyways, I got to Pep Boys this morning to pick up the truck and the guy hands me the paperwork along with the keys and says "There is no charge, Thank your husband for his service". WOW! I was shocked. I insisted in paying and they said no, and i was on my way out. That was really nice of them, then i got to thinking how did they know my husband was in the service? DUH! The base decal located on the windshield. That made my day. Then around 11am this morning i got the best phone call ever and email. My husband's HOMECOMING DATE AND TIME! eeeekkkkk (jumping up and down) he will finally be here in a matter of ___ days. I can't believe that after 8 months of stress, crying, worrying and all these different emotions he is finally coming home. This deployment has been one of the worst we have ever gone through and one of the worst in Marine Corps history. We've lost 29 KIA and over 100 wounded and I am so glad that the battalion is coming home. My life will be complete once again. And for all of you Milspouses out there who are going through a deployment....time will fly by....once things start to roll again and you get back into the groove of things it will fly. I didn't think it would, the first month felt like a lifetime then shortly after the ball just kept rolling and soon enough you will be where I am...getting ready for that big day HOMECOMING!

Until next time ♥

Mixed feelings

Well i been away since the last week of March. Its been crazy trying to get everything done for homecoming. I finally moved into my new apartment, we are about 15 minutes away from base which is awesome for the hubby so its not a long drive as it was before. Anyways, moving week was hectic. The apartment is now furnished and decorated and feels like home. School is driving me insane. Only 5 more weeks and the semester is over, can you say SUMMER! geez i cannot wait, but for now its busy busy busy non stop and i cant concentrate when all i can think about is my hubby coming home in a matter of days. Tonight it was H&S homecoming. It was great, so many families, loved ones and even the Patriot Guard Riders. All in all i feel really blessed to be with the battalion my husband is in. We have a wonderful support group supporting our Marines. There is so much more I want to blog about but I am so very sleepy. Ill be back tomorrow.

P.S. I have 2 followers! This is Awesome, considering I am new to blogging! Eeeekkk!

Until next time ♥
