Weight Loss

Forgot to post this here. I started a weight loss blog (wanted to keep it seperate form this one) Basically I joined weight watchers 3 weeks ago and am losing weight. Since joing I have lost 11 lbs and have lost almost 30lbs since moving to Tx from Germany. Here is the link to it

New Car




When we moved to Texas from Germany we traded in our Neon (we had so out grown it) and got a Used 2006 Chrystler Pacifica with 25000 miles on it. We loved it, it had so many little extras that were so nice! Well 3 weeks after having it the checkengine light went on we took it in, the PCM had gone out. got that fixed and the cadialiac (sp?) converter went out....getting .3 mpg is not fun especially when gas prices are so high. Got that fixed and then it started dinging we werent seeing a light or anything come on. After awhile of it doing this the ABS and Brake light started flashing. We took it in 5 times for this problem before drew deployed. In the begining they told me it wasnt throwing a code. So me being me saying look its doing this and them not having anything to go on, Took video with my digital camera to show them....LOL Well they would keep it think its fixed. We would get it back drive one time not even 1/2 a mile and it started back up. UGH it was very fustrating. I drove ti to and from vegas like this..........not fun. On the way there for the last 6 hours or so of a 24 hour drive it was dinging about 8 times a minute. On the way home it got worse. It started dinging, the raido would go off, and the speakers would pop for the last 2 hours it did this NON stop.

Well once I got back from Vegas things went from good to bad in a few days when I found out I had lost the baby and everything else so I wasnt able to take it in


I took it in several weeks later and they kept it for 2 weeks. They replaced differnt modulars, checked gorund wires, ect... they thought they had it fixed. I drove it home when I picked it up (about 8 miles) and later went to pick up kenzie I didnt even get off post and it started dinging again.

This is very fustrating. Because every time I take it in I get a rental and with that I am switching over the carseats, stroller, ect... and then I have to get a pass to get back on post and that has taken up to 2 hours...with 2 little ones its not an easy task.

So I talked to Drew and we decided it was best to trade it back in (we were going to wait till feb.) I went to dodge and we ended up getting a 2008 Dodge Durango AKA the beast because its HUGE! lol

Sad Day

2 years ago today I lost my best friend to suicide. Its still had to believe its been 2 years there ae days when it feels like it just happened. I still have so many un answered questions and all the what ifs still go though my mind. I wish I would have answered the door when you came over or answered your IMs. But I needed me time. (gosh that sounds so selfish now) There was alot going on in my life, that I couldnt talk to you about because you wouldnt understand. I didnt like lying and covering up your affair and I was done. It wasnt right. You will never know how had it was seeing you cheat on your husband (even if I didnt like him). You slept with a close friend to Drew and I and now our friendship with his is pretty much over. Alot of my friendships with people ended when you died. I felt alot of people blamed me and maybe thats because I blamed myself but things between them were never the same. I was never the same.

Happy Anniversary to us...lol

Photobucket
Today Drew and I were married 4 years ago. We both agree we cant believe that its already been 4 years. Where has the time gone? I can say that seeing and talking to my husband I still get that school girl crush feeling...lol I love him so much. He is an amazing husband (and father).
We have both hate being away from each other but such is the army life. It just makes being together that much more special and important.
Drew I Love you and Miss you!

Not even sure what to title this

Sat. Drew emailed me saying that he was fustrated (so say the least) at his Plt Sgt "over there" he was being extremly hard on drew, smoking him for over an hour outside in the heat, essays, lots of yelling and down grading.

Monday Drew called and we were talking I could tell something was wrong. He then told me his plt sgt. threatend to shot him and his soldier. My heart droped to the floor. I was scared and in tears. He said that he was speaking with so and so the next day. I was feeling litteraly sick to my stomach. Being an army wife you know that there is a chance your soldier my not come buts its not something you want to think about. The thought of losing my husband is heart wrenching. When we got off the phone I was sick to my stomach. All the what ifs going threw my head

Well I made a call to my FRG leader because I didnt know who else to call. I told her what Drew told me and she said she was going to make some calls and would call me back. About 15 minutes later She called and said that ALL 1sgts and commanders both here and deployed had been notified. That this was a serious matter (I already knew that...lol) and it will not be taken lightly. About an hour 1/2 after I hung up with her Drew called me back saying that the 1st sgt. had already contacted him.

So as it stand right now Drew is still where he was but there is a chance he might be moving. The Plt sgt is still there (I am so not happy about this) but Drew has had limited contact with him.

So Our lives have been through another loop on this roller coaster we call life

Been Busy

Life has been crazy busy lately.

Kenzie is loving school although we have had a couple issues but they are getting better. She had an awesome 1st day of school. From then on every days she would pee her pants 1-2 times a day. Why was she peeing? Because she was getting in trouble at school....she use to do this ALOT but hadnt done it in a while. But since last tuesday she has had NO accidents :) as soon as be got that resolved she now like to bug other students when she shouldnt be. She defiently keeps you on your toes...lol Her teacher said she is getting better and is really listening alot more....woohoo Before she wouldnt listen at all she which has always been an issue with her. So this is a Major improvment. But she still loves school, this past weekend she got mad because there wasnt any school..lol Lets hope she always has this attitude

Kylie is a happy camper lately. She got her 1yr check up last tuesday and has been so fussy and clingy since. Yeah that doctor visit was a nightmare. She did LOTS of screaming, she hates going to the doctors. But all check out. She did have wax in her ears so they had to dig it out. :( Today she went back to the doctors because I suspected she had an ear infection...I was right her left ear had more wax and a mild ear infection. So now she is on antibiotics for that. She has also started speration anxity...what fun right? Wrong I cant walk into another room without her screaming and crying. I want my happy kylie bug back.

I am doing okay been busy with the girls after they go to bed its cleaning and then I have been sewing. :) I have made 2 nap mats, 2 diaper bags, and tonight I am learning to monogram. :) I joined weight watchers last monday and as of today I have lost 4lbs Woohoo lets hope this keeps up because I need to lose this weight...also I would love to see Drews face on r&r...lol

Drew is doing okay. He didnt move like we were told which totally sucks because where he is he isnt with his CO and the 1st sgt or who ever is in charge is a complete jerk. He pulls alot of guard shifts and still has to fix the trucks inbetween which is leaving him with little sleep. Last time I talked to him he had 3 gaurd shifts a day for 4 days straight. Each shift is 4 hours long so thats 12 hours right there pus the time he spends fixing the trucks. My poor Husband is being streched so thin. We both are really looking forward to R&R, he needs it but we still have so long to go.

Well its getting late and I need to clean up my sewing mess....lol Night All
