HE CALLED!

Not fifteen minutes after I got the email, he called me. We talked for 10 minutes (no idea how much that call is gonna cost us and I don't really care) and it was SOOOO good to hear his voice. Basically he hates it there, and no longer hopes we get stationed there. So even though he's not having the best time, he is okay.
I miss him so much, but at least I get to see him in 10 days. Less than 2 weeks. Counting the days.....
My poor baby is cold. I heard Germany is cold, told him to take a coat. He didn't. He also didn't know he was supposed to take a sleeping bag. He has one now tho.
He took a picture of a tower Hitler (boo!) used to stand on and watch his troops in formation. I can't wait to see all the pictures he took.
He had his first German beer today. He said it was good. And for the mommies reading this, don't worry. It's legal there, and his superiors have given them a 2 drink limit so its not like he can get wasted. And come ON, its Germany! This is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity - yes, even for military people. You'd do it, you know you would. And if you went to Amsterdam you'd also smoke a joint or two. Lets not be hypocrites here. lol
He says things are really expensive there - but you know what, I don't want to steal his thunder. I'm sure he'll want to tell you all about it himself at some point in the future, so I am now shutting my mouth.
I miss him.
But at least I know he's okay.

As simple as an email......

I HEARD FROM HIM!!!!
I sent Willy the same email I sent all of you (about unpatriotic anti-americans getting their asses kicked) and today he replied today with an email. Just to let everyone know, he is there and safe and okay. So Sandy and Mama, yall can stop worrying now. :)
It was so refreshing to hear from him, but it leaves me wanting more. He said he'd try to call soon.... I hope he does. I miss him....
Oh the joys of being an Army wife.

I'm Mrs. Lonely

I miss him.

low on the green

Alright everyone, new policy - temporary.
Don't ask me to buy you anything, and don't ask me to do anything with you that cost money unless you are paying. Because bottom line, I can't afford it right now.
With all the traveling and extra expenses, we are low - extremely low - on cash. So I will be cutting the money corners wherever possible for awhile.
This includes no movies, no eating out, nothing.
If it helps you remember, just consider me broke.

Blah.

youtube

btw, I posted a video on youtube and guess who is on it! YOU!
go to youtube and type in my first and last name, see what comes up.

Update

Okay, so I haven't been blogging lately. Its not that I haven't had anything to blog about - because I've had plenty. I've just been busy.
I've spent the last couple of weeks at home in Alabama, enjoying family and friends and trying to pack as much as possible into the trip. There was a wedding with lots of dancing - and me and Chuch totally owned the dance floor from the moment we set foot on it. Not to brag, but well, what the heck. lol It was a lot of fun, but I wish my man had been there so I could have danced with him too.
Then came the fourth of july. It was bittersweet. For the first time in my entire life - 20 earth years - I missed the lake martin fireworks show. The biggest fireworks show in the southeast and a family tradition. While I must admit it lost some of its wonder when my dad died, I have still managed to show up every year. Not the case this time. This time I had no car, was about an hour away, and camping out at the house of a friend of my inlaw's. I still would have found a way to go if my mom had felt well enough, but due to health issues (hopefully nothing major) she missed the show or the first time in OVER 20 years. So I didn't go either, because the main reason I have continued to attend is for my family. As for my sister, I had no idea if she was even plannning to go anyway. So I spent it with my husband and his family. I have to admit it was depressing, missing for the first time a staple tradition that I have never missed since birth - my first attendence was when I was exactly 4 weeks old. So I spent a small portion of time (around 9;30 when the fireworks would be starting) off to myself listening to music and smoking, feeling nostalgic and melancholy.
So to my family, though I wasn't with you then, my heart and mind was.
The rest of the holiday was spent swimming, playing croquet, and skating on the half pipe. I didn't skate much, but I did get up there and try and I didn't fall. I wasn't very good, but it was my first time and it was fun.
My husband came down the 3rd through the 6th, and I really enjoyed getting to spend some time with him since we've been apart. And then on the 8th I flew home and here I am. Back in Texas performing my wifely duties and trying to ingore the fact that in 24 hours I will be starting off another 2 weeks without my man. Depressing, a bit scary, and lonliness-inducing.
I'll be alright though. I'm gonna keep myself busy with more in-depth house cleaning, xbox, and prolling chilling with friends and then I'll fly back to Alabama on monday.
For those who are wondering, coming back to Texas even for a few days was the right thing. It produced the hoped-for results - and beyond.

Well my laundry is done and I need to go start another load before I get snaked again. Wish me luck.

One of those days

Well, Today has pretty much sucked.
First of all I finally got around to transferring my auto insurance from AL to TX and found out the rate is going to be almost double what it was. Friggin Texas. So that was fun.
After that ordeal I decided to lay out and catch some sun and listen music in hopes of relaxing and relieving some stress. It was working until my husband called and delivered some bad news. No, nothing apocolyptic, but still irritating and enough to make me say 'screw it' and go take a cold shower.
So then I went from listening to white stripes and red hot chili peppers to limp bizkit. lol
Anyway, I'm still pretty annoyed and wish I had my punching bag here.
All you people must be burned out on blogger because no one ever posts anymore. I guess I have stolen the show.
I'd like a stiff drink and never ending ciggerette right about now.
