I know that I said I would post pictures, but having a "house guest" and a husband who lives with you full time now tends to make the house a lot more messier than it was before! So I ask that you bare with me for a little longer, I did clean today but not as well as I had hoped. There has been a lot on my mind lately I guess you could say.
Part of it is mainly all my fault, I let it get to this point. I guess you could say that I'm having some health issues that could be a problem later on. I'm not the skinniest of sorts, and that I have let my recent being get to what it is in my own eating and lack of exercise habits. I'm hoping here soon to get some tests ran in about a month or so, I promise to keep you all updated as to whats going on as soon as I know anything. For now with David home and our "house guest," I'm cooking more, which means less eating out and I'm trying to cut back on sugar as best as I can, plus drinking more water. I've been doing pretty well the past couple days along with walking some for about 15-45 minutes, David is trying to keep me on track by telling me to get up, and I just don't want to let him down. Hopefully here in a couple of days when I start feeling better I can start doing more, but right now I'm not to in the mood to do much of anything except for keeping house and cooking.
Now as for the move down here, it wasn't bad at all, we made it in pretty good time, since it was only a 7 hours and 40 minutes and we made it with 20 minutes to spare. The guys got straight to work and got everything unloaded and the boxes in the proper rooms. Though it was left to me to unpack and organize the whole house I was able to do it in about a week, except for a couple of boxes which I'm not quite sure what to do with yet. We have started to make it feel like a home; since we are going to be here a while, we bought a "Welcome" mat for outside and curtains for each of the windows in all of the rooms. This place is so much nice than the last, and we actually loved the last one; so can you imagine what we thought when we got here. I LOVE my kitchen!!!!!!!! The only thing its missing is a gas stove and an island, but other than that its perfect! Here is a quick teaser for you all! We live in a gated apartment community, with a fantastic pool, clubhouse, and its bigger than our last place Its about a 30 minutes drive away from post, which some people complain about, but there are a quite a lot of soldiers that live in the complex also and they don't seem to have a problem. David doesn't mind the drive, which I am happy about, because to be honest a lot of people have to commute back and forth to work each day, and longer than that too.
As you know for us to move here David had to graduate from AIT, I was super proud of him! He got Honor Graduate, which means that he had a 90% or higher grade average in his class! Here are a couple of pictures of him and me at his graduation!
Even though I've had him for a week and half its hard to get into a "funk" I guess you could say, we never really had one as a married couple. To be honest we got married and then two weeks later he left for basic training and been gone ever since, yeah we had weekends but its not like living a normal married life like now. I don't know if I'm explaining it right, but we need to figure out how to be married couple together. I know most military couples go through this because we choose a life of separation. I know that my experience can eventually help other spouses like myself in the future, or maybe those can help me.
As for two of my avid reader; Ashley and Kaitlyn, I know what your requests are and Ashely I will try and work on yours next and Kaitlyn yours I will eventually get to when I can get my camera to work again! Thanks to both of you for your support and patience.
Now comes the reader part! I have two questions for you to answer; 1.) What would you like to see of our new place? 2.) What do you think David and I should do become more of a married "couple"?

Well my deary you showed me exactly what I wanted to see of your new place, THE KITCHEN!!!!! I guess my next choice then would be the living room once you have it all decorated....but hopefully by then I can come see it for myself. Yay!
ReplyDeleteAbout being a married couple... I suppose you can say were struggling with it too. But if I know you well enough... you're probably not liking sharing your space. Slowly let him in... cooking the noodles while you make the rest of the meal. Simple tasks that make you less stressed and enjoy him there. Also date nights are still needed. Us young couple have to stay strong! :)
By the way, congrats again to David! Also you look cute in that dress!
ReplyDeleteHahaha Kat you crack me up! You know me so well. As for the living room, as soon as our "house guest" leaves here in less than two weeks and I know it wont get trashed after I clean it I think I will definitely post some pictures. I do have to say that with the curtains it really does feel like a home more than our last place. As for you guys visiting, I think you guys should come up here for the 4th of July! How AWESOME would that be.
ReplyDeleteThank you about the dress, I got it at Marshalls for only $14.99! Its super comfy because its cotton!
I knew it! I sooo new that was what you were having a problem with. Definately would love to come up for the fourth! Lets make plans!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I have a ton of new dress from just garage sale-ing and shopping! :)
