told you so...

See I knew this would happen- It's been almost two months since my last post. I suck. There I said it.

We're nearing the halfway point of this deployment and my heart cannot wait until May 22, or May 30, or June 6...whenever it is Jamie comes home and I can have my heart whole again and my family back together.

Life has been stupidly INSANE since he's been gone and just for shits and giggles I decided to add another item on to my plate so drum roll please..... WE'RE BUYING A HOUSE! that's right, we've chosen to stay in the Dirty Jerz for a while longer. We close on the house on May 13.. which gives me just enough time to get in there paint and decorate the walls before my husband can say no to anything I do ;-)

Here she is! what we will call home come May 13, 2013

 

 

I am over the moon excited to finally have a house that I own and something I can truly call my "home".  The next few months will seem like a whirlwind experience with doctors appointments, house meeting, homework, and also a trip to Florida to throw my sister from another mister a baby shower!

 

This month we also get to celebrate Easton's very first Easter. My little boy is growing up so fast and it's hard to believe that on Tuesday he will be SIX months old. I'm not sure where the time has gone, and it's hard to believe at one point how sweet and small my baby was. He already seems more like a little boy than a baby. He's eating solid foods now and loves his fruits (any kind will do!), carrots, green beans, and sweet potatoes. I'm working on making my own organic baby food for him but so far he doesn't seem too thrilled about it :-/ Easton is also getting his front two teeth and by the way he acted today, I'm thinking it will be any day now. He talks so much, and he has the sweetest baby giggle and smile in this world. He loves to play and has gotten pretty good and grabbing, holding, and switching items from hand to hand. He can also hold his own bottle! His sitting is coming along and soon I'm sure he'll be able to sit on his own. No rolling over still, but I think it's because he's waiting for daddy to get home before he starts moving ;-) I knew he loved me.

Easton and the Easter bunny- he ain't scared!

 

 

School is going well but with everything that is going on I'm definitely burnt out. I cannot wait until August- the finish line is in view, I just need to keep my head down and stay focused for another few months, it'll be over before I know it and then I'll be able to truly enjoy my family, friends, and my new house- just in time for Easton's 1st birthday!

 

We are gearing up for the busy season at work- Fall 2013 registration opens this week which means work will most likely be stressful and make me want to drink everyday from now until at least October when student's start calling about their refunds. Oh Joy.

 

Something tells me that if I make it through all of this it's because I've been highly medicated. That is the only way I foresee any of this all working out and going smoothly. I'm asking for continued good vibes as we go through this crazy time in our lives and also for Jamie we're hoping to hear some GREAT news within the next few weeks. News that would without a doubt change things in our household, all for the better.

 

I would also like to wish my FIRST baby and very happy happy happy birthday! HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY FROCEOUS KITTY! I love my baby boy and I am so thankful that after all the things we've been through together he is still around and he still loves me. There truly is no greater unconditional love than that of an animal.

My sweet sweet baby boy <3

 

 

 

In closing, I'll leave you all with this little gem of a picture:

basically my son is a bad ass.

 

Everyone have a wonderful week!
