No news is good news...?

So, In the military they have this saying for spouses when going through deployment and worrying...

"No news, is good news."

Well, I seriously hope that's true b/c I haven't heard from my husband in almost 3 days and although that may not seem like a lot to some people it is when you're used to hearing from them at least every other day OR no more than two days. I'm getting a little worried. I'm trying not to but it's extremely hard b/c so much can happen in so little time. I'm just praying everything is okay and I hear from him soon b/c I'm literally sick to my stomach as of now.

:(

One week of NO drama, just ONE!


I just wish I could have one GOOD week of NO *My side of the family* family drama...like, just ONE! Smh...

Story.

Of.

My.

Life.


There HAS to be a test somewhere in this...and God is using my family to test me. I'm passing, but with a "C" average. I just want some peace. Is that too much to ask? A week where I don't have a completely dysfunctional family of drama and chaos. Does that happen? Can it? Will it? *sigh*

As if going through my first deployment as a FRESH newlywed, moving to one of the most expensive cities in the world over 600 miles away from everything you know and are comfortable with to chase a dream that has the probability of 1/1,000,000th of a chance of actually happening with literally a dollar and a dream, isn't enough for one person to take...


But I digress.

Sometimes you make me smile...

To my love: Whenever I hear this song I smile with great appreciation that I too, have those exact same feelings with you..



When I think of you.
You make me smile
Sometimes you make me smile,
I can feel you.
I’m missing you.

Where is my heaven?
Where can you be?
How do I get there?
Do I believe?
Where is my sunshine?
Where is your light?
I wanna see you,
So you can make me smile.

Sometimes you make me smile, I can feel you.
I’m missing you.


The most fragile part of me,
Nurses our strongest connection.
You live in my memory.
With a philosophy,
That now offers me completion.
I’m so well.
And it’s strange to be.
I’m torn by misdirection.
You’re my ambassador.
You personify my admiration.
So beautiful.
I live for you.
As you live for me.

This is such a happy ever after.
You traveled miles,
Now we’re past the finishing line.
We’re starting on time.
My music wears your name,
If they knew where to look.
They’d find it.
You showed me.
I am I,
Because you be.
Forever.
So magnificent.
The most amazing story I ever told.
So much more to be written.
Thank you.

Sometimes you make me smile, I can feel you.
I’m missing you.
My love,
Love.
Love.
Missing my love.
I know I can hear you.
I’m missing you.

I only pray my skin be as soft as yours.
My wisdom flow so fluidly from my mind.
My eyes speak so truly of my spirit,
And my laughter speak the clarity of time.
You were once the I, that’s now missing you.
You were once the baby, born.
And you had dreams of making a difference in the world.
My journey was formed.

I feel you
I hear you
I see you
I BELIEVE IN YOU!
But I cry.
I cry
My light...My light.




I need you! I love you so much baby! 
Forever yours

Rainy Days...

Oh, how I love thee...call me weird but a rainy Saturday is one of THE best days in the world...well, If you have nothing to do. Right now, I'm feeling the cool breeze of my tower and ceiling fan and I can't help but smile. What is it with me and rainy days? It's almost like a kid in a candy store how my eyes light up to wake up to the sound of the rain hitting my window pane. I actually get sad when it stops. 

Maybe it's the calming serenity it gives me. Or maybe it's the thought of being able to relax and not feeling as if I'm wasting away a good and beautiful day...who knows? I don't really care, to be honest. All I know is that I love them...and as far as today... I'm gonna sit in my bed, watch old movies, and relax. This would be absolutely perfect if there weren't one thing missing....YOU! 
*Meaning my husband, of course*

So I've come to the conclusion...

That I am going to start couponing! If you're a military spouse you know that the military isn't the most promising career (income wise) UNLESS you are pretty high in rank. So if you and your MIL man/woman have not had the pleasure to move up in rank JUST YET (b/c it will come, if you want it to) you have to find ways to do everything to maximize your income! So I've decided, once my DH(Dear Husband) comes home I am totally going to be couponing. I've already began looking up ways to start now while I'm here in Miami so that I'm at least approaching the "intermediate couponer" stage by the time we move in together in December. Wish me luck! :)

Military or not, I think it's pretty smart to do it if you think it would be helpful to you, and or, your family to save money wherever you can! I always say, spend less on this have more to save or spend on that! :) Happy Couponing! I'll keep you guys updated!

It's the military...




Funny how...

Funny how someone comes into your life and changes everything you thought you knew about life...about love...maybe even about everything! When my husband and I decided to be romantically involved it hit me that he had changed everything about what I "KNEW" I wanted for my life...everything I thought I would/would not have/do. See, he and I had been friends (PLATONIC) for almost 5 years. I had never looked at him in a romantic way until about a few months before we actually started dating so theres "funny how" #1. There was also a time when I said I would NOT date a military man. I had a friend that had dated a few of them and just from hearing the horrible things from others I had decided that that was just not something I could ever see myself being open to. Funny how #2. I also didn't see myself even thinking about marriage until I was AT LEAST 27, funny how #3. & I never thought I'd see the day that I would actually love someone as much as I do him...funny how #4...If I seriously went down the list of all the "funny hows" I would be here forever. He really has changed my life, the way I view it, and the things I say...like "NEVER will I"...& I love it...and him, of course!
