Just one of those days

So...I knew that my kitchen was needing a deep cleaning. I was on the phone with my grandmother and Rian fell asleep in my bed. I decide this is the PERFECT time to pick her up and put her into her crib and start cleaning. She sure did fool me, I pick her up and she is WIDE awake. This cleaning REALLY needs to be done, so I put her into her crib and let her cry it out.

I gather all of my cleaning supplies and head for the kitchen, I turn on my iPod and get going. I have a random collection of music on there. I start out with a song by The Carpenters. I listen and keep cleaning. Then I get to Carried Away by George Strait. Cleaning stops and I start to think about Brian not being here and then my friend Heather's husband is leaving and I just start with my own water works.

I love this song and I can't wait until all of our loved ones are back in our arms again.

Love Love Love this song.

This song is so fitting for when your husband is deployed and you are getting calls at all times of the day and night. Not saying that I don't LOVE his calls, but it is sweet and sad at the same time.

Well, I know it's kinda late.

I hope I didn't wake you.

But what I gotta say can't wait,

I know you'd understand.

Every time I tried to tell you,

The words just came out wrong,

So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Yeah, I know it's kinda strange.

Every time I'm near you,

I just run out of things to say.

I know you'd understand.

Cuz' every time I try to tell you,

The words just came out wrong,

So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Cuz' every time the time is right,

All the words just came out wrong,

So I'll have to say I love you in a song

Yeah I know it's kinda late.

Hope I didn't wake you,

But there's something I just gotta say.

Know you'd understand.

Every time I try to tell you,

The words just came out wrong

So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Almost Time

Boy oh Boy!!! It is something else. Rian will be a YEAR old in 16 days, it's so hard to believe that our little baby is about to turn 1. She has hit that stage to where she wants to walk but she isn't sure of herself. She will stand alone and then go to a squat.

uhh ohhhh Here comes trouble!!

Man oh Man!

It has been such a long time since my last blog. A lot of stuff is going on. It went from prepping for Brian's deployment, to trying to get Rian to start walking before he leaves and then.............Brian leaving.

It has been a week and this week has gone by pretty fast, but I know that is because he is still here in the USA. Once he gets in country....now that will be a whole nother story.

Rian is growing like a weed and it is so hard to believe that she is 11 months old. I am planning a cute little party for her. Nothing big or over the top. Just a simple little ladybug party.

With me saying that the week has gone by pretty fast. Just last night I was on my way home from church and I was listening to The Message on Sirius Radio, and one of my favorite songs by Mark Schultz (Walking her Home) was on and I just finally had a good long cry on the drive home. It was just the song that made me cry. I felt totally fine after the cry.

Been here a whole month!

WOW!! We have been in the house for over a month and it Feels so good!! No worrying about the neighbors waking Rian up because of all of their crap. It feels good to be in a bright home. It just seemed like a dark dungeon in the apartment. We made our first mortgage payment and we also had to pay the last part of the rent of the apartment. BOY am I glad to be done with them. They were going to be raising the rent on all of the apartments and our discount with the military discount was still going to be about 900 a month. That's only a 200 dollar difference between the apartment and the house and the house is TWICE the size of the apartment.

We Love our new home and can't wait have our little Rian grow up in the home.

Painting is DONE!

The painting has been completed in the house. It looks beautiful!! and now we can start moving stuff in!!! I am so happy with the colors that we went with and at the last minute we did a quick change, instead of having Misty Surf in our family room we decided to go with that in our bedroom and we used Winter Flannel in the family room. The formal living and dining room have an awesome color called London Coach. It's like a brown/mauve color. Our projected time to be in the house is May 15th, but we will still have our apartment until June 21st. So...we will take our sweet time with getting all of the not so important stuff out of the house.

Totally excited!

Tomorrow we officially close on our new home!!! It has been such a tiring search. We found a lot of houses that we just fell in love with and just wanted "THAT" house. So many that we were outbid on and some that were just not our type.

For the same amount of money of these short sales and Foreclosures, we have found an awesome home. That is brand NEW!!!

We get our keys tomorrow and we are going to start moving things in tomorrow!!

Can't wait....I hope that I will be able to sleep.
