Wow it must be my lucky day to day! My baby (Leo) got home this morning, and then I got a call from my other baby (Nick) and then I also got a letter from him wow,I'm like on cloud 9 right now. it sounds like Nick has had a hard couple of days. both of his locks for his locker got stolen along with all his stamps and all the cash he had. need less to say hes not very happy. I'm not quite sure how his locks got stolen or why unless they where unlocked and the keys where sitting there, but who knows. he also went into the gas chamber this week and I guess his mask was leaking the whole time so it didn't really do him any good, poor guy, but he said it really wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. he said one of the positive things that happened was that he got to throw grenades, that was fun, but he said he was kinda surprised the explosion wasn't as big as he thought it would be. he said over all hes doing pretty good, he thinks hes going to do good when they do their next PT test. but he is missing everyone and says to tell everyone hi

these are Leo's newest Pictures. isn't he so cute? he is getting so big I cant belive how quick time is flying so fast

i got a new letter from nick today it made me so happy. he is doing good my suspicions where right, the guys in his group where stupid and they lost their phone time on sunday which really sucked, but it sounds like he is doing good and pulling through, he says to tell everyone hi and hid graduation is june 26 just FYI if anyone else can make it he would be so excited

I got to see video of leo crawling its so cute I'm so mad I'm missing it mom and dad recorded it and put it up on moms Facebook  i'll put it up on here when they get home i haven;t heard any thing from nick yet but I'm hoping to soon hopefully he had time to write on saturday so i;m keeping my fingers crossed that i'll get something tomorrow

It Starts

I'm so sad Leo finally figured out how to crawl today and I missed it! hes going to be a prow by the time he gets back here :( he's still up in washington with mom and dad. he's been so close for a while now but he could only go backwards so he would get so mad because he wasn't going where he wanted to, it was kind of cute and kind of sad at the same time. life is about to get even more interesting I'm afraid now that he is mobile. here we go

I have been on pins and needles all day waiting for nick to call, I was paranoid all morning that he was going to call wail i was at work and was so relived when he didn't but now I'm starting to get scared he's not going to call at all today, I'm probably just getting worked up over nothing, but i feel like that is all that has been keeping me going this week is knowing that i would get to talk to him and hear his voice i miss him so much, i just really don't feel like i can make it another whole week with out going crazy. he better call or i am so going to kick his butt. not really i'll just be really really sad and disappointed. keep your fingers crossed

Letters from Nick

I've gotten 2 letters from Nick now it has really brightened my days I've just hated feeling like i had absolutely no communication with him I don't think sense we first started dating we have ever gone a full day with out at least talking on the phone so its so weird to not be in at least a semi continuous conversation with him and knowing everything that has happened in his day and vice-versa. he does sound fairly positive in his letters so i really hope its all going good. he needed me to send him some stuff so i sent him a package on thursday, and i decorated the out side of the box. he's going to get so much crap for it. he's going to be so mad at me lol  but hey at least he will know I love him, and so will all the guys in his group. and then on the letter i sent yesterday I put kisses all over the outside hehe. I hope is isn't embarrassed by it. he did say that they have started doing some training courses he got to repel a 40 ft wall and go a rope corse, he said he did really good at it. I can't wait to talk to him tomorrow if for some reason I don't get to talk to him I think I'm going to loose it

Mom and Dad left to go up to Washington tonight, the talked me into letting them take Leo with them now I'm having second thoughts, they are going to be gone until next Saturday that's a long time, I made them promise that they would be home for mothers day though, I didn't think it was fair to make me spend my first mothers day completely alone. these pictures are from March obviously the hands and feet in them are all nick I wanted to have some of Leo and his Daddy before he left, this set I think are definitely some of my favorites

Nothing exciting happened to day just another day at work but hey one day closer to seeing my hubby though, and only 4 days until i get to talk to him theses pictures are from valentines day I love the ones in the Tie

Very un-happy anniversary to me

so not only is it my 3rd anniversary and my hubby isn't here but i spent half the night at the ER. nothing serious is wrong in fact they couldn't find anything wrong except a slight UTI. my stomach was hurting so bad at work today that i could hardly move and i couldn't;t take it any more so i left early and it still wasn't getting better so i over reacted and went to the ER. i think with both Emily and Wendy having to have their appendix out recently i just kind of freaked out of course by the time they were half way done with the tests i was feeling some better and by the time we left i was only hurting a little bit i felt like such an idiot, oh well better safe then sorry I guess. any way these are Leo's 4 month pictures I'm missing a few of them and can't find them any where I wounder if I left all the copies in Mississippi when where there, oh well I'll put them on when I find them

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired

I am so done being sick i have felt like crap sense Friday i didn't even end up going to work today i just wish this would go away i feel like my head is under water my ears wont pop and that makes me feel nauseous. i just want to feel better all ready. any way these are Leos pictures from Christmas the first one is my favored he looks like such a stud i love my boy

Finaly Pictures

I missed a day nick's going to be mad at me, not really but i promised him i would wright every day, I was just so sick yeasterday that i wasnt thinking but i finaly got to scan in Leo's monthly pictures these are his two month pictures for thanksgiving and also in his really cute blessing outfit that Grandma and Aunt Peggy made him i'll put on a new month each day for the next few days I have a lot of catch up :)

I don't know if i have developed allergies or if i have a head cold but i feel like crap! i even had to leave work early today cause i couldn't handle it any more i just wish it would go away i have to work at the care center tomorrow at 530 am. yuck i better be feeling better by then or i don't know how I'm going to handle it. wish me luck

Stupid modern technology

I think I destined not to be able to get any new Pictures on here. I cant find the cord that goes from my camera to my computer and i tried to scan in some of Leo's pics that i have and i couldn't get the scanner to work gurr, dad said he would help me get it working but it probably wont be before this weekend I promise i will get some on soon though

well today was nicks first official day of Basic training i wonder how it went, its so weird not to have heard from him at all today.  I wonder if the guys are still being as stupid now that the real drill sergeant. are there. I'm not worried about Nick having problems with authority but he does have issues worth other people not following the rules, he said its been driving him nuts that they are supposed to be at attention or something and some of the guys will be sitting there talking. it was making nick so frustrated. I hope he's doing okay  I cant wait to hear from him again, sunday is only 4 days away

I am so tired today, Leo decided it would be fun to wake up every hour last night, he has never had that bad of a night, even when we first brought him home. hopefully he sleeps better tonight. Nick called today, Basic officially starts tomorrow so he wont be able to call any more except on sundays.  thats really going to suck but only 9 weeks until I get to go see him :) it sounds like for every but hopeful it will go by fast. 

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down

I hate mondays, it always make the good seem bad and the bad seem worse.  life really isn't all that bad its just the monday factor getting to me. I have a beautiful baby and a wonderful hubby who is in oklahoma getting his butt kicked to try and my his family's life better, i really have nothing to complain about I'm sure being lonely is nothing compared to what nick gets to go through for the next 9 weeks and 4 days, but hey who's counting. nothing really exciting is going on here just same old stuff. but hey tomorrow is tuesday one day closer to the end of the week and one day closer to seeing my hubby again

Wendy and I went to Wicked today, it was awesome but it really made me miss my hubby, i think its finally hitting me that I'm not going to be seeing him for 10 weeks, thats a really long time and then i'll only get to see him for like a day and then 16 more weeks i miss him a lot he has been able to call every day so far but that is going to change once basic actually starts. oh well i guess i just need to stop feeling sorry for my self. it will all be worth it in the end. Right???

ugg what a day  i had to be to work by 5:30 this morning but some how my phone (which i use as my alarm clock) went from being half charged to being completely dead so m alarm never went off, if it hadn't been for y son waking me up at 5:10 i would have been way late  as it was i barely made it on time. then it was a crazy day at work and I didn't get out of there until 230 and i had an apt to get Leo's 7 month pictures done at 3 in prove so i had to rush and pick him up and get down there, but he did really well this time for pictures we got some cute ones i cant wait to get them back

another crazy friday

it seems things always happen on fridays, last friday johnny hit his head at the swimming pool and had to go get stitches, today christopher and sammy where playing and poor sammy chipped one of the bones at her wrist, she has to wear a brace and a sling for 3 weeks. for me it was just another day at work but I'm excited its the weekend, nick bought us tickets for Wicked for our anniversary but then there was a mix up in days and so now he wont be here for it but me and wendy are going to go and it will still be fun but any way i've got to be  up at 4 in the morning so i better get to bed

Wow its april 16 and we got 5 inches of snow what is up with that! nick got to call last night and today he is doing good he said yesterday was just a long day with a lot of processing and to day he got shots and did a lot of marching. the real basic training doesn't start until the 20th so i guess we will see how it goes when he really gets to work. I miss him.  we recorded him reading Dr. Susses books so that Leo can have story time with daddy every night. the last couple nights that we have watched them Leo will just sit there mesmerized by Nick on the screen and just watch i've never seen him pay attention  to something so long i think he misses his daddy too. i have a bunch of pictures i want to put on here but i cant find the cable for my camera its driving me crazy gurr i wish i could figure out what happened to it

Rain Drops keep falling on my head

I hate walking the dog in the rain! it was barley sprinkling when i left so i didn't worry about it but whale i was walking it started to down pour so now i'm drenched! gurr stupid dog its all her fault j/k its my own stupidity for not taking an umbrella. I was good this morning and red scriptures with Leo. me and Nick made it a goal to both read 3 pages a day so that we will both finish by the time we are back together. I'm  excited and hope i keep at it as horrible as it sounds I don't think I have ever red the BOM on my own all the way through I've read it with my family and with Nick but never by my self, I guess I'm not really reading by my self this time cause I'm reading to Leo but it might as well be on my own a 7 month old doesn't give a lot of feed back well i guess i better go to work :s i always hate going back after i've been gone for a while alot of catch up to do, oh well at least it will keep me busy, keep my mind off things...

Yeah we finally have internet back!!! wow a lot has happened sense i was on last. for all of you who don't know Nick has joined the US Army. he left for basic training today, its been a hard day. its going to be a long hard 9 weeks until i see him again and then he will go to Texas for A-school for his medic training and then another 52 weeks for his LPN training is going to a long year and a half but in the end it will be worth it. Leo and I will get to move down and be with him for the 52 week program so basically we have to go 6 months with out him its going to suck, i promised him i would write every day so i figure i will write on here to keep everyone up dated and he can read them all once he can get on the computer. well night one all alone here we go :(
