Our new baby:)) 2011 Dodge Avenger :)) black and silver leather, shiny 18"s and everything else I could ask for :)) so happy!! And got so many goodies for Christmas :)) I am grateful for one great and badass family!!

Finally some good comes out of December:))

So after this month starting off rough, there is light at the end of our tunnel! The transmission went out in my beloved green machine( '98 gmc 1500 4wd), after about a week or so of thinking of fixing it, we decided we need a NEW car. On to the bank we went and found out we got approved for x amount of dollars for a new car:)) That's right we, not me and my mom or anyone else, my husband and I:)) It's a great feeling! We are officially grown:))Tomorrow is the big day of getting a car!!!! Woohooo! Can you say freaking excited? Hells yes ! New car here we come :)) Now to choose the perfect one! Our new puppy Ranger is excited too!!

All Dogs Go to Heaven....

Thursday December 1st will be remembered for a long time for my husband and I. The day started out perfect.. Work and then shopping for myself :)) I needed the time to myself; two HUGE dogs and a husband to love and cherish is a little much sometimes :)) Until......
4:50 rolls around and I get a phone call from my husband, Michael. The dogs Scooby( pitbull) and Stella (Doberman) had slipped the gate and were on the loose!! They had done this once before and we found them down the block trying to play with neighbor dogs. This time was different:( I came home immediately and started the search. Up and down the streets calling and whistling, in the car and then on foot and then back in the car. No sign anywhere! It was now 7 and almost completely dark. We decided to leave food and water out and run right up he road and get subway right quick. Less than 10 min we were back to driving in the neighborhood, then we ate. We sat in the house with the doors open and every 10min or so Michael called for them. No sign :( I couldn't do it I had to go to Walmart really quick. We left a cage outside in case they showed up and kept the food and water out too. 30-45 min later... Not one sign of them:(( that's when it hit me.. My two wonderful dogs were lost out in the cold and there was nothing more we could do. Michael had to go to work and I had to work the next morning. I made sure out side where they once stood when it was raining because thy were scared of raindrops, was now an empty crate for them if they wanted a warm safe place til morning. Every night they slept at the foot of my bed making me feel safe while Michael worked. Thursday night it was empty. Their toys and blankets everywhere I cried myself to sleep scared and sad. I usually woke up to let them out but instead a eerie peaceful night, and at morning I didn't have to let them out before they went up til Michael came home. It was horrible but I was doing ok... Right before I was gonna step out the door for work my brother in law called.." Take the long way to work".. Wait why I asked. " Were they together?" yes WHY? "I think I seen one of them" and at that point I knew what he was saying. I hung up and darted out the door and drove my regular way to work. BIG MISTAKE! There laying in the turn lane in town was my baby girl Stella. It was bad she was mangled and just bad. I couldn't make it thru work like that so I asked to go home and and luckily my husband got off work when i go to work. I broke the news to him and he said to calm down and get home. He held me while I cried. He told me he already made phone calls and I needed to find another dog I wanted.I didn't know what to think. Is it betraying your dogs to want another so soon? Well we found one a few hours later and it's a male Doberman we named Ranger. We have notified pounds and vets of Scooby's disappearance and still no sign but everyday we check and hope he shows up. They meant a lot to us and always will. I still cry and wonder what if but I have to stop sometime and focus on the short time my husband has left with me til he leaves in January. Scooby and Stella will always have special places in our hearts and will never be replaced. To have two dogs just taken away like that and to try and deal with that is hard. Ranger is a new addition and I hope to teach him some of their old tricks to celebrate them:)) Scooby, you come back anytime now:)) Stella, you rest easy baby girl :)) I had to get this out and off my chest. It's been rough:((

Assuming makes an ass out of "u" and me!!

Have you ever heard that saying " people never change" ? Well it's a crock of crap... People do change sometimes for the better. People are always changing, just some aspects about them don't change. Two years ago if you would have asked me what I'd be doing in 2012 I would have probably said partying and moved out of this crap hole town. Now here I am happily married and couponing with my mom on the weekends. Two years ago my weekends filled with drink, drinks and very little responsibility. Now I pay all my own bills and look forward to coming home from work and walking the dogs with my husband:)) Do you mean someone actually changed? Holy cow! I actually look forward to family time and get excited when we pay things off and it's ours:D This even applies to friends: I am now close friends to people who I can't remember why the hell I didn't like them before. But like I said people do change and it may take a while or seem to happen overnight.

Omg I grew up....:))duh

To my fellow army wives/girlfriend/fiancé::
We are strong women..
We wait..
We love when there is distance between you..
We take a house and make it a home..
We promise to be faithful while you are serving our country..
We give you little princesses or tiny soldiers..
We take pride in the title of Army wife and show it off..
We never want to see you leave but we understand ..
We Appreciate you:D
Michael,
You are my soldier and my husband, the most we have been apart since we have been together is 3 weeks but soon you leave. Three months for school to further your career in the army. You amaze me everyday, a 23 year old who has been serving as a soldier since you were 17. You turned 21 in Iraq and that's also how we started talking. Soon after just a few emails I was staying home on Fridays to talk to you. You sent the most beautiful flowers and listened to me on everything I said. My world changed for the better:)) here we are starting our married life together with a bright future together. Two wonderful dogs and everything I could ever want. We fight we aren't perfect and never try to make people believe that we are. We do love each other and respect each other :)) there has never been something we can't get through and there never will be! I know when you are gone I will be sporting a huge smile knowing that you are out there thinking about me and that you miss me just as much:) thank you so much for everything you do:) I love you!
Ps: hurry home from your midnight to 8am shift at the prison and cuddle with me:D

So yet again I had one hell of a random blog but hey just saying whats in your mind is what this is about, not what you think you should put to impress people. I'm all over the place and unorganized, my house is a mess sometimes, pizza out of a box is dinner sometimes, I don't drive anything special( but I do sport an Assault Life sticker) I don't own my house, I'm still paying off things, my mother raised me alone for the most part, I'm from a small ass hypocritical town which I don't actually mind now... But I do have a husband I married for all the right reasons and a family who most would die for:)) I can actually say I am happy with my life:) what a damn good feeling:)

One random ass blog:)

I absolutely love my husband:)) he is so sweet and wrote a sappy love note to me for everyone to see on Facebook !! Haha he is silly:)

I just don't understand peoples way of thinking..... You would think someone would understand if you treat friends like crap then you will have NO friends left :( sad sad sad

I wonder what my friends think of me.... I'm not a text or someone who has to talk to everyone all the time. I'll text every now and then but definitely not an everyday occurrence. But does that make me a bad person:( I don't even talk to my own mother or sister everyday but I'm really close to both of them! I just hope that all my friends get the vibe that I DO care a lot for them and would do anything I could to help even if it's listening :) I am also grateful that my husband and I share all these great people:)) yep that's right guys or girls we are all really close and always have the best times:)) I definitely cannot complain!!!

My dogs.....ugh I think they are toddlers or something! Terrible twos!haha but one is 4 years(Scooby) and Stella is 14 months:)) goodnes they are giving me hell lately ! Well it is actually the squirrels !! They chase those damn things all over the place!!! Then they don't wanna come back inside! Could be worse, they aren't eating people or anything! Also at night they have free roam of the house and are having accidents:(( good thing I have tile floors! Now I'll end the complaining with some good points!!:
1. They don't chew up anything except toys and sticks outside:))Good dogs:))
2. They sleep next to my bed and protect me while the Hubs is working:))who would break in with a pitbull and Doberman waiting for them:))
3. They are extremely nice dogs and all my neighbors love them:)) they only bark at strangers:) good dogs:))

Last but not least:
I'M TERRIFIED of Michael leaving in January :(( I know I know it's for school in California but having him away will test us as a couple and kinda like a test run for deployments! He changed mos in the army to medic! So you can call him Doc Mike now:)) when he leaves everything will be my responsibility! If something is broke, misplaced, wrong, it's gonna be all in me! I'll be ok :)) my mama raised me to be a strong woman:)) now I need thoughts on hobbies..... :D

Ok so you guys got enough of my time and it's BED TIME!!! Goodnight!!!!

Falling into Fall:)

 Fall is off to a great start :))
A quick trip to Tennessee, great times with friends and much more to come!!!!
Every year my family takes a trip to ole Grundy County Tennessee, where we attend a family reunion for a day. the rest of the time you can find us wondering around looking at the changing trees, going to Chattanooga, or just by the fire :) We cook and play games and since my wonderful sister Jenny had a wonderful little boy 3 months ago, we got to hang out with him A LOT!! Just good ole family relaxation time :)

So while we were gone my step-dad watched Scooby the pit bull and ,our really great friend Kaylann stayed at our house and watched Stella the doberman. It's good to know we count on our friends to help us out :)) It's a great feeling :) Then after we had gotten back we went to eat with our friends :) Tuesday night at the Tilted Kilt is a bad idea if you work the next day! Hello purple haze!Tilted Kilt is like Hooter's but waaaaayyyyy better! Irish pub and eatery :) But for now I think it's time for PICTURES:))
