He's HOME

So, having him home has been amazing!! The first day he didn't get to come home because he had duty (which meant he had to stay on the ship that night), but I picked him up at 8:30 in the morning yesterday. We spent the whole day together and it was just wonderful. They warned us at our reintegration brief that things may be awkward, but it wasn't at all. And I was so worried about the intimacy part for NOTHING, it was WONDERFULLY AMAZING ;) (giggle, giggle) I attached a picture of their ship and a few pictures of us. I'm SOO HAPPY to have him home though!!

Almost there!!!

It's getting close ladies!!! J will be home in LESS THAN A WEEK!!! It didn't fully hit me until tonight how excited I really am and how much I really did miss him. You know what that means though, time to jump back into BBTs, OPKs, herbal supplements and LOTS of BDing (gotta make up for seven months). It was nice to have a seven month break, but I am definitely ready to jump back on the TTC train. I started taking EPO, Vitex, and baby aspirin. I hope it helps and I figure it couldn't hurt. Oh, and I am now sitting at 200 lbs. It wasn't 10% of my body weight, but it was close and hopefully it helps kick start my ovulation again. Wish me luck and hopefully I won't have to move on to fertility drugs...I've got all my crossables crossed!!

Haylee Pictures

My mom sent me some new pictures of my niece, Haylee today. She's only four months old but she's getting so big!!!

Mom Update

My mom emailed me today and told me that the radiation is shrinking the tumors, but she'll probably have to go through it for a few more months. It's been a slow and steady process, but just keep praying that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel soon...

Nervous

J is coming home in a few weeks and I'm starting to get nervous.

Not nervous to see him, I'm excited as heck for that, but I'm nervous for what is suppose to happen afterwards...ya know in the bedroom...

I always think what if he doesn't find me attractive anymore or what if I don't know how to do it right anymore...and those are just a few of the crazy thoughts that fly through my head when I think about it. I know most of my thoughts are irrational, but I still can't help them.

I know most of the ladies that read this have dealt with deployments before, so I need input please!!!

Beach pictures

My cousin left today...I cried...

I am normally a loner so last night I thought I was ready for her to leave, boy was I wrong. When we got to the airport and they got ready to go through security I started crying. I liked having someone here that I'm really close to, even if it meant I had to have a social life (I'm normally a real homebody). We went to the beach yesterday as our last hurrah and it was a gorgeous day. We had a lot of fun and I posted a picture of my cousin's baby and us. Thank goodness my husband comes home in a few weeks or I would have completely broken down today.

Tornado Warning

I am writing this from the floor in my hallway...yes you heard it right

I was watching Pearl Harbor for the second time tonight (the first time I only caught the last hour) and all of the sudden a tornado warning flashed across my screen. Growing up in the middle of Tornado Alley I knew what to do, but I kinda just sat there. I flipped to local channels, but it's not like in Texas, no one was broadcasting where the tornado was spotted or anything. So then I decided to go outside.

It sounded eerie outside...

So I freaked out and decided to head for the hallway...the puss dog (Henry is scared of thunder) is still with me, Sammie got tired of sitting in the hallway.

The warning has been over for fifteen minutes, but I'm still a little freaked out. There's just been too many run ins in my day.

When I was younger we stayed with my aunt for a week. She was bringing us back to our townhouse and as we were driving through town to get home the sirens were going off. We had seen like 3 funnels (none had touched down thank god) outside of town.

A tornado landed near the house that my dad lived in when we lived in Iowa. My dad was driving my sister and I back to my mom's so we weren't there, but still freaky. That tornado took the roof off of high school in the town.

I was out at my friends house horseback riding and when I came home it turns out there were tornado warnings. The tornado was near the road where I was driving and I didn't even know.

Last summer when J was in "A" school I was out at my parents house and it was storming real bad so I stayed out there until it blew over. I was driving back to my apartment and the lights at the end of the road were out. Turns out there was a tornado like maybe a mile from my apartment.

I've always been lucky, but you never know luck runs out right?? All I can say is bad storms freak me out. I hate that we moved to Florida just for the reason that there are hurricanes here. My favorite place had to be Alaska...you never had thunderstorms, just rain. No tornadoes, no hurricanes...just earthquakes. But never the big ones like in California.
