Pretty good Thursday :)
Hello Again... So I thought I would start today off by saying Hey to anyone that MIGHT read this... granted I have 2 followers and I know they are both busy with their own lives and probably don't read this but oh well... lol I made this blog to remember what I do on a daily basis and to let Jack know how Abbie and I are doing. So I'm sorry if anyone doesn't like hearing about my day or whatever but it is the soul purpose of this blog!! Other than that I hope you enjoy.
Anyways so my day today was pretty good. I cant complain to much. I woke up at 9am. Abbie and Lily were in the front room with my Mom watching TV. Not a bad way to start off the morning. So I sat down on the chair and started talking to my mom about the wedding and her job interview and just different things. Well she was thirsty/hungry so she sent me to McDonald's for a Sweet Tea and Big Mac. Well I got her order and ordered myself a Sweet Tea. Came back home and relaxed for a little longer. Well I forgot Abbie had pictures at 12pm. So I had to hurry up and take a shower and get myself ready. After my shower I put Abbie's hair in pigtails and got her dressed for her pictures. We left the house and headed to Sears. Only place I use. (Thanks to Lelia) So we get to the mall and Abbie does not want to cooperate with the lady and did not want to take pictures. It was a nightmare but an hour later we finally got done and had a few good shots. So an hour late and money I didn't need to spend spent. It was time to go down stairs to the play area. I let Abbie play for a little bit and she ran over a kid so it was time to leave... I was embarrassed. Anyways we get home and Abbie takes a nap. I relax and write my earlier blog and look up more wedding stuff. After that Abbie woke up and ate her lunch! I cleaned her up and we went to Family Video to rent some movies. She wanted Dora and Spongebob and I picked "Nights In Rodanthe", Harry Potter "Half Blood Prince", "G.I. Joe", "New In Town". I hope they are all good!!! Then we came home and she started watching Spongebob and I started writing another blog and watching TV. I plan on watching 1 of my 4 movies tonight, Idk which one but I'll watch one. So that was my Thursday night... nothing to exciting really.
Nothing new with the wedding really other than I think I may have found a photographer for the wedding :) I'm just waiting for an email back. She does great work and her prices are what I was looking for :) I really hope she's available... FINGERS CROSSED :) I cant wait for the big day :) It's going to be amazing... :) But until then we are just taking things one day at a time.

Monday-Wednesday
It has been a few days since I posted last and decided to stop slacking and get to it. I spent 5 days in Rockford and only posted twice... NOT GOOD. I promised myself I would write everyday and just because I'm on vacation doesn't mean I should be a slacker. So I'm writing today about the last 3 days of my life.
Monday ohh Monday what did I do??? Well first off I got an amazing call from the greatest hubby in the world and, then got to talk to him off and on all day it was very nice. I mostly just say around my uncle's house just relaxing and watching TV. Rockford was a totally different environment then Springfield so I was able to just relax and not be completely stressed out the whole time...Other than that I really didn't do a whole lot other than talk to Jack!!!!!
Tuesday was a very good day. I woke up very early. Not really sure why but I did. I cleaned up the living room and did some laundry and took care of Abbie. My Uncle Tony wanted to go to the mall so we did. We walked around for a little but and stopped at Barnes & Noble to get myself a book. Well I bought a book and Abbie got a book and I became a member :) So now discounts for me :) YAY. We left the mall and then went to the NICEST Dairy Queen I have ever been in. It was basically like a fancy restaurant. It was crazy. Abbie Tony and I just say there and talked and hung out and just relaxed. It was just a really good afternoon. Then we went back to the house and I got to talk to Jack on webcam all night :) I was soo excited and happy to finally get to talk to him and see him after 2 weeks of NOTHING. It was very refreshing and a great reassurance that things were going to be OK and that the deployment was on the downward slop and almost over. Later that night my Uncle Joe came over and we all just talked to Jack on web cam, Tuesday was a very good night and a great way to end the last day of vacation. We watched some movies and headed to bed.
Wednesday night was VERY interesting... But before the night I'll tell ya a little bit about my day. I woke up at 8am and got all of my stuff packed and ready to go because we were suppose to leave at 3pm. So I gave Abbie a bath, finished packing the bags, and took a shower myself. Well Tony and Tinia were gone so Abbie and I had the house to ourselves. It was VERY relaxing and quiet... something I NEVER get in Springfield. I really didn't want to leave. It was DRAMA FREE, STALKER FREE, NO BITCHING, AND LIFE WAS JUST SIMPLE... I loved it. Well around 2:30 Tinia came home and asked if I wanted to go get a drink at the VFW with my Uncle because there was an ice storm coming in and we were not leaving at least not til it was passed. So I went down and had 4 drinks with my Uncle. I was very happy at this point but not drunk. I have come to terms with the fact I don't need to get drunk when I go out. I can just have a couple of drinks and be happy and have a good time. I never thought I would be sitting at a bar with my Uncle though... It was rather interesting. Well at 4:30pm we decided to call Tinia and have her pick us up. So we left and went back to their house. We has some soup and watched some TV. Well at 6:30pm the weather had calmed down and Tinia decided she wanted to leave because she needed to work today so we packed the rest of the car and hit the road at 7pm. Well we were driving for about 10 mins when instead of staying behind the semi Tinia decided to pass and well lets just say that did NOT go over very well... we were in my SUV which in turn hit the air pocket between us and the semi and then we hit a patch of black ice... well lets just say I thought I was going to die because we were in the left lane and I was in the passenger seat and closest to the Semi... Well Tinia is a pretty good driver and instead of killing us turned the wheels the right way and ended up in the ditch in the middle of the highway... we were stuck in ICE AND SNOW... NOT good at all... At least no one was hurt and there was no damage to the car!! Well we weren't as lucky as we could have been. We were completely stuck and couldn't get out of the middle... Well me being the stubborn one and refusing to call for help decided that I would push the car and see how well that worked. Well I had on Birkenstock clogs and was in about 6 inches of snow... We are only an hour south of Chicago so they have A LOT of snow up there... I got the car pushed pretty far but we were still stuck. I pushed and pushed for about 20mins. Finally a cop shows up. Well he didn't really do much other than get the traffic to go in one lane so we could get out of the middle... Well I gave it the last push and 25mins later we were finally out. My feet were freezing, my back was throbbing, and I couldn't stop shaking because it was so cold. Well we were headed the wrong direction now so we had to turn around at the closest gas station. Well Tinia didn't want to drive anymore because she wasn't used to the car so I drove the rest of the 180miles we had to go. We drove 30miles an hour for almost 3 hours and then finally hit 65 when we were 40 miles outside of Springfield. It was the worst drive of my life and I will NEVER drive in the ICE again... We finally made it home at midnight. Lets just say my Wednesday was a night I'll never forget... Besides that we are just taking things one day at a time.

Sunday through my Monday eyes...
Yesterday was a very good day. I'm still in Rockford and was able to sleep in. Everyone in the house including Abbie slept in. It was a very nice way to start off my Sunday. Well about 20 mins after everyone woke up my Uncle Joe dropped by for some coffee and just to hang out. Well of course Sunday Football Play off games are on today so my Uncle Tony and Uncle Joe plan on where they are going to go watch the game. They decide on Cousin's Bar and Grill. So Kyle and I take them to the bar. Kyle has to work at 3 and they wont be done til after that so I had to figure out where I was going. Simple enough. So it's only 11:30am when we get back to the house. We decided it was going to be a lazy day for us. We put in Transformers 2 (blu-ray) and start watching it. I love that movie. After the movie, Abbie takes a nap and Kyle leaves for work. Uncle Tony call's and asks for a ride. I'm on my way. I find Cousin's with no problem and walk in to get them. They still had half a pitcher so I sit down and wait. Well my Uncle Joe asks if I would like a drink. I say sure and order a fuzzy navel. One drink is not going to impair my driving and it if does I shouldn't be drinking. So we sit and talk and I'm out of a drink so my Uncle orders me another one... It's fine because we are eating wings and there is no way I'll get drunk off of 2 drinks. I was correct. We watch the 1st half of the Jets-Chargers game and then leave. We dropped Uncle Joe off at his house and head for the store we are going to make meatloaf for dinner... better yet I am going to make meatloaf.
So I have never made meatloaf and cant even remember the last time I even ate meatloaf. So my uncle walks me through it step by step.... it was actually fairly easy. I was very impressed with how much I actually liked cooking... usually I hate it. Anyways we put the meatloaf in the oven and finish watching the game. The game is over and the meatloaf still has time so we channel surf for a while. Finally dinner is ready and its time to test my cooking. We get the plates ready get set up and start eating dinner... It was VERY good. I was VERY proud of myself. Something new I can make when Jack gets home. <3
Dinner is all done and its TV time. We sit down and watch 24. Personally I have never watched it before but everyone else loved it. So I just sat there and relaxed. Didn't want to blog last night though I was kinda tired and didn't feel like typing so I didn't. After 24 Tinia went upstairs to sleep and I put Abbie in her bed to sleep. Uncle Tony and I stayed downstairs and watched the "Breakfast Club" great movie. I had never seen it before. After the movie everyone was really tired so everyone but me when to bed. I stayed up and did what I always do.... THINK!!! It was a long night and I finally fell asleep at about 3am... even though I layed on the couch I couldn't sleep. I just had 100 thoughts about Jack going on through my head... I miss him so very much and just want to know that things are OK and that no matter what we can make it through anything!!!!! Well that was my Sunday, lets hope there is more to talk about later tonight when I blog about today!!
Until then I'm taking things one day at a time.

Just another Saturday...
Today is Saturday, nothing real important about that other than Abbie and I are headed to Rockford today. Well our day started off pretty good other than I realized I was suppose to do my laundry last night and instead stayed up to watch Criminal Minds. I know I am beyond addicted. It gets me through my days and that's what matters. Anyways... So I get up and clean the room up a bit and start laundry. So laundry is started and the bedroom is clean now time to pack... Oh shoot forgot I have 2 care packages to mail off... So I have my Uncle watch Abbie and I run to the post office. It took 30mins to get 2 packages mailed off... Well there's 30mins of time I just lost. Oh well it was worth it. Anything for Jack :) So I get back home and switch over the laundry. I then go back up stairs, get Abbie ready, pack the car, run around like a chicken with my head cut off, and finish the laundry. My Aunt Tinia shows up around 12:30pm and I let her know I need just a few more minutes. So I get the rest packed and we are off. We head to the video store to return a movie and then stop to get gas, 32 dollars later and we are off. The drive up wasn't to bad. Abbie slept the whole time and Tinia and I talked about the wedding and the family and just about life in general. Well finally 3 hours later we make it to my Uncle Tony's house :) YAY... No more driving for me. So we get the car unloaded and the living room set up and stuff for Abbie and I. After everything is ready we head to the living room to watch TV. Well my uncle was watching football and Abbie became glued to the TV. More so then she does with Dora, so we watched the game for a little but but had to run to Walmart to get some stuff. She wasn't very happy that we had to leave again but oh well.
We get to Walmart and do our shopping. I get some cards for Jack and some pickles for Abbie. She picked them out. :) We check out and leave. Get gas AGAIN and head back to Tony's. Uncle Tony makes some pizza and we wait to eat. We sit down eat dinner and watch some more football. Aunt Tinia goes to bed and I stay downstairs with Abbie and my Uncle Tony. We watch even more football... by this point I'm ready for something else. FACEBOOK :) So I play around on the computer and go to peopleofwalmart.com and WOW... there is really no other way to say it. Its finally 8pm so I take Abbie upstairs to give her a bath. She plays for a bit I wash her up and its time to get out. I take her back downstairs get her ready for bed and lay her down in her pack n play. I come back to the front room and watch even more football... UGH... Such a boring day. Oh well I guess tomorrow will be better :) I plan on making a trip to down town Chicago and then heading to Wisconsin to get my Uncle Tony some cigarettes and just so I can say I've been to the state of Wisconsin :) I know I'm a loser but I'm OK with that.
I'm getting very excited for next week because I think I will FINALLY get to talk to the hubby. I'm trying to not get my hopes up because any one knows when you get your hopes up for something 90% of the time your going to be let down. So for now I'm just going to pray and hope that I get to talk to him.
Abbie is doing great, she really likes to learn new words and repeats almost anything I say. She learns at least 2 new words a day and remembers them and uses them again. I know some kids will only repeat if someone else is saying it but not Abbie she just talks and talks and talks. I love it and she amazes me so much more everyday. She brings so much joy and happiness into my life and even when I'm sad she always finds a way to make me smile and look for happy things. I don't know what I would do without her.
Other than that nothing really happened today. I'm just enjoying the peace and relaxation of being away from Springfield, drama, and my stalker who hasn't gotten the clue that I'm about to call the cops on him. Anyways enough of that. I miss Jack more and more each day and can't wait to hear from him again. It has been far to long. Abbie and I are hoping for a more eventful day tomorrow with lots of fun and laughter with the family!!! It should be a great next 4 days... but Until then Abbie and I are just taking things one day at a time.

I'm ready for anything.
Well my day started off pretty much the same as always. Abbie woke me up around 7:30am by crawling into my bed and laying half of her body on top of mine. She then decides she wants her diaper changed and some milk from the fridge. So she says "Mi Mi" her version of Mommy about 5 times til I finally get up and tend to her needs. Then she walks me back to our room and lays on the bed with me for about 15mins before getting up and leaving the room to play with my Grandma. So I continue to lay in bed til about 8:30am and then get myself up. As much as I hate 8:30am I wouldn't give up my mornings with Abbie for anything in this world.
Well I play with her and Lily for a bit and then they get tired of someone older playing, so they run off and entertain themselves. I don't mind, it gives me a chance to play around on the computer. So I checked my email and still nothing NO surprise there... and then I tab over to my blog. Something different today. Usually its Yahoo.com and then Facebook.com. Not today :) Well I blogged this morning while the girls were playing and then called a good friend and talked to her for awhile about the issues on the ship and about our perfect little angels. I would have to say I have talked to her more in the last 2 days then I have in the last month. I'm definitely going to make a habit of calling more. :) Well we finish our conversation and its time for me to take a shower. So I'm showering when my phone rings and it's my aunt so I answer since shes planning my whole wedding I figured it might be important... I was correct.
So she asks me to meet her at Samsclub because she has some shopping to do and we can talk wedding stuff. So I finish my shower get ready, get Abbie ready and decide to put her hair in pigtails today. She looked adorable!!! We left and met Aunt Cheryl at Samsclub which worked out great for me because I had care package stuff to pick up anyways. We walked around and talked for a little bit, checked out got some pizza and left. She went back to work and I went home.
So I stayed home for a little bit because its fairly chilly outside and it was Abbie's nap time. She decided she didn't want to sleep...Well I still had care package items to get and pictures to pick up and print out. So Abbie and I leave the house and run to the mall to return a scarf and pick up her Christmas pictures. We then leave there and head to Walmart. Well she fell asleep so I ran to my Aunts house to pick up pictures I had there. By this time Abbie had woke back up and Walmart was on our way home. So we go into Walmart to get all of Daddy's care package stuff. She gets excited picking out Little Debbie snacks for her Daddy. So we finished our shopping and headed home. Well we still had errands to run and so we turned around to run our errands. We went to the movie store and picked out a few movies to watch tonight. "Pearl Harbor" "Dora" & "The Other Man". After that we ran to Walgreens to drop of a roll of film to be developed. We left there and came back home. We then packed up 2 full care packages to mail off to Jack. We did not seal them yet because Abbie wanted to draw a picture for Daddy and we still had pictures to put in them. So Abbie draws her picture and my grandma came home in the middle of it. I ask her to watch Abbie while I go and pick up the pictures to get them into the care package so I can mail it off in the morning before I leave for Rockford. She agrees and I leave. I get to Walgreens pick up the pictures and head home. When I got home dinner was ready. Crab legs, Salad, and a Baked Potato!! How yummy! So we sit down and eat. After dinner I finish packing up the care packages get them labeled and all ready to mail out. So another 2 care packages done and ready for the hubby :) SOOOO excited and proud of Abbie and myself!
After that not a whole lot happened Abbie has been playing with Diego and Angel and I've been sitting in the chair blogging. I know my days might not seem like much but they are everything to me. I have my moments and I complain but in the end everything I go through is worth it. 3.5 months of this deployment are over and only 3 to go. I'm ready to have Jack back in my arms and ready for a fresh start in Washington. I have made a lot of great friends over the last 3 years, some have come and gone and others have come, gone, and come back to stay. I've been burned and crushed but no matter what life throws my way I'm ready for it now. I have grown as a Wife, A Mother, A Friend, and A Women. I am ready to try new things and challenge myself as a wife and mother. I'm ready to be the Susie homemaker and Southern house wife that my husband wants from me :) I'm ready to be the full time mommy even more so than I am. This deployment has opened my eyes up to many things both good and bad but it has made me realize just how lucky I am to have an amazing husband and father for my child and an amazing daughter who I love more and more each day. I have everything I could want and more. Things don't always go my way and they never will but I'm OK with that and I know that my future with Jack, Abbie and our future children is going to be amazing and I can't wait to have him home in my arms again. Until then I'm taking things one day at a time.
Well I play with her and Lily for a bit and then they get tired of someone older playing, so they run off and entertain themselves. I don't mind, it gives me a chance to play around on the computer. So I checked my email and still nothing NO surprise there... and then I tab over to my blog. Something different today. Usually its Yahoo.com and then Facebook.com. Not today :) Well I blogged this morning while the girls were playing and then called a good friend and talked to her for awhile about the issues on the ship and about our perfect little angels. I would have to say I have talked to her more in the last 2 days then I have in the last month. I'm definitely going to make a habit of calling more. :) Well we finish our conversation and its time for me to take a shower. So I'm showering when my phone rings and it's my aunt so I answer since shes planning my whole wedding I figured it might be important... I was correct.
So she asks me to meet her at Samsclub because she has some shopping to do and we can talk wedding stuff. So I finish my shower get ready, get Abbie ready and decide to put her hair in pigtails today. She looked adorable!!! We left and met Aunt Cheryl at Samsclub which worked out great for me because I had care package stuff to pick up anyways. We walked around and talked for a little bit, checked out got some pizza and left. She went back to work and I went home.
So I stayed home for a little bit because its fairly chilly outside and it was Abbie's nap time. She decided she didn't want to sleep...Well I still had care package items to get and pictures to pick up and print out. So Abbie and I leave the house and run to the mall to return a scarf and pick up her Christmas pictures. We then leave there and head to Walmart. Well she fell asleep so I ran to my Aunts house to pick up pictures I had there. By this time Abbie had woke back up and Walmart was on our way home. So we go into Walmart to get all of Daddy's care package stuff. She gets excited picking out Little Debbie snacks for her Daddy. So we finished our shopping and headed home. Well we still had errands to run and so we turned around to run our errands. We went to the movie store and picked out a few movies to watch tonight. "Pearl Harbor" "Dora" & "The Other Man". After that we ran to Walgreens to drop of a roll of film to be developed. We left there and came back home. We then packed up 2 full care packages to mail off to Jack.

My not so eventful Friday Morning.
Well it's only 8:36am on Friday and most might think that's not early. To me this is very early. Al though I'm up at this time everyday it's still early to me. Well last night I played around on face book and then on here for awhile and started thinking... not a good thing for me at midnight. Anyways I have come to terms with the fact that I wont get to talk to my Husband anytime soon and after this blog I will not say another word about it. What is the point? I'm just going to be told the same thing 100 times... He will email when it is safe. What does that really mean. He is in the middle of an Ocean NOT in the US and chasing the bad guys... IS he ever "safe"? I guess that's not a question that can ever be answered fully or honestly. Well enough about that. Onto different things.
Abbie and I are planning a trip to go to Rockford, IL. this weekend. It's about an hour away from Chicago. I have had a lot of unnecessary drama and stress over the last 3 months and need an escape. Things in Springfield are just getting to crazy and not talking to Jack hasn't helped. So off we go to the great North. :) I think Abbie my cousin Kyle and I might make a little trip to Navy Pier and the Sears Tower. Depending on the weather of course. I lived in Illinois for 18 years and not one been to the Sears Tower... Kind of depressing. Oh well maybe this weekend that will change. We will have 4 days to get it done. :)
Wedding planning is coming along great. I have almost everything done. Church is booked, rehearsal dinner and reception booked, DJ booked, Dress bought, invites ordered, flower lady talked to, only things I really need to get done is to pick out a photographer and get the flowers done. My Aunt Cheryl aka Maid of Honor has been amazing. She has made planning this wedding so simple. I never thought I could do it in 4 months since I didn't start planning til January but she has made it possible. Now let's just hope that Jack gets the proper leave and actually gets to make it to our wedding. I'm beginning to get a little paranoid about it. :( I guess I just have to wait and hope it plays out my way. I have spent a lot of time and money at Davids Bridal over the last 3 days, but in the end it will all be worth it.
My days and nights are all a blur right now, I can't remember half of what I do when I do it. Another reason for starting this blog. That way when I look back at my work I can maybe remember what I did. Wednesday was an easy day I just stayed at home all day and hung out around the house. Nothing to exciting there. At least not that I can remember. Yesterday though I went to Davids Bridal with my Mom and Little Sister Amanda and Brother Nathan. We got Amanda's dress ordered and paid for and picked out a beautiful dress for my mom. We left and took Nathan to Menswearhouse where he got fitted and stuff for his Tux. I then came home ate some lunch and had another meeting at 4 with Kathy who is in charge of the reception. Everything is looking great and coming together very well. After that I had a WIC appointment at 6 and thought I was going to be there for ever... I was there at 6 and left by 6:15pm It was AWESOME. I love Illinois WIC appointments :)After that I got some food and decided to come home and just hang out around the house watching Criminal Minds. I then somehow stumbled a crossed the 3rd person to be blogging and decided I wanted to start blogging myself. So I did and spent about 3 hours trying to figure out how to make it pretty. So far so good. :) I'm very happy with myself and plan on blogging at least once a day if not more. For now I'm just taking things one day at a time.

Getting Started...
I'm not one to write what I'm feeling or let many people in but I figured this was a good way to change that and allow people close to me. Also to allow myself some space to get things off my chest since right now communication with Jack is down.
Lately things have been a little crazy and not real certain but I'm getting through it one day at a time. Living at home is getting harder and harder. The stress level just keeps increasing and I question my sanity every morning. I may not be doing the best but Abbie has been doing great since her ear surgery and acting like a completely different kid! She's always smiling and happy and talking so much more clearly. It's an amazing feeling to know that I made the right choice to get her tubes and not feel guilty for making her go through surgery at such a young age.
Jack and I have been doing great just trying to make it through our 3rd deployment... It's been rough the last 10 days without communication but I understand he has a job to do and I just have to keep on waiting... Not that I enjoy that, but it's what I have to do.
Other than that not a whole lot to say right now... tomorrow starts my real blogging.
Hope everyone has a great night :)
