7 Wonderful Years

Okay, today was our Anniversary and it kinda slip by. We went out to eat for it then so today it was just a day trying to get things done around the house. I mean today we had people working on our AC for hours and then working on the ceiling and walls to cover the holes back up.

So now I decide to sit down and make this video and write this out for Jeremy.

I just want to say Happy 7th Anniversary. I could not believe that it has been 7 years, time is flying by. LOL! Anyways, It has been great years, yeah we have had our rough times but with faith things always worked out. I am so blessed. We have been many places and been able to do many things and I wished to be able to see more places together with the many years we have together. I love you Jeremy and am so happy withyou.

Happy Anniversary!
PS) The song is a Disney song, but if you know us we love Disney and this song fits up.

Stepping Up the Ladder


Well, I guess I have not updated laterly. Jeremy finally got home from the field for good now. Jeremy took the camera out to the field to take some pictures of him at work, but when he got back home the camera would not work. So they are on the memory card, I just need a way to put them on the computer, so once I figure that out they will be posted. I did get another cheap camera off Craigslist. I can't figure out how to get the pictures off the card using this camera. But, I will figure it out.
Anyways, on better news today Jeremy was official pinned (or velcro) as a Specialist in his unit. He is now an E-4 just one step higher. Now, the next thing is Segrent which will take a while to get. He got to get the points and then go in front of the board so we have a long way to go, but he plans on starting to work on it. So Jeremy is excited. His SGTs and other guys congratulated him in their "army" ways. They made him get down and do push-ups and then dumped about three 5 gallon buckets on him. Wow, Guys, what can I say?! At least they took his cell phone out of his pocket.
Oh, and other words the leave was approved so we are leaving August 30 at midnight for Buna, Texas and have to be back to check in by Midnight on September 13. So Texas here we come!

Every Thing is falling Apart

Okay so this post might be a little negative but I am kinda in a sour mood right now.... That might be because I am sitting here alone at 2:00 am in the morning sweating so bad that I cant sleep. So now you know why I am sour let me back up and beginning at the beginning.

Okay, This is to family and friends in Texas, we change the dates on going home. This is all still if it gets approved. But right now we will leave GA at midnight on August 30 and will stayed there the 11 or 12 of September. It is a 14th hour drive or so, so we are going to try to make it down there in one day but we are thinking of taking 2 days to come back due to we know we will be tired from visiting families in the area. I hope to see everyone... I know we are going to Buna Ward that Sunday but we got to get his family into the time frame too. Kim and Adam... That Friday we will be down. (September 4) Jeremy has made plans with his, mom, and Grandpa to go to the PNG game. Sorry, I have no reason or nor do I want to go to a PNG game. LOL! Sorry any PNG fans out there. So I think he will spent alot of the day with his mom and grandparents. So my question Adam and Kim I might come and spend some time with yall if you dont mind why he spents time with them that evening.....Just let me know if you mind!

So anyways about my house. Tuesday night Jeremy was making something in the kitchen and he opened the silverware drawer to find the tray filled with water.... Asking me why water was in the drawer so I jumped off the couch and run to the kitchen about this time we find out that the counter is covered in water. So we start looking to see if a cup or something leak but nothing. Then I looked up to see water running down the cabinet doors. Great. So I get on a chair and sure enough the wall above the cabinet is damp and the ceiling. So this is 9:00 pm so I have to call emergancy maintanice. Of course we though it was the upstairs neighbor's water heater might have busted or leak, and they have been gone a week. So they go get the MPs to go up there and found no sign of water, so now it is in the ceiling between my ceiling and my upstairs neighbor's floor. So he saids he stop the leak and he will send someone back Wednesday to make sure it was good and seal up the holes that he had to drill in the wall. Well, later that night I notice more water but it was too late to call now so I put a towel down. Jeremy got up and put another towel down. When he called to ask me the number for maintanice I work up to that towel soaked and water all over the floor. So we called and they came out. The guy spend forever trying to get it patch. Even the suprivers came out to see what was taking so long. So 5 hours later they said they got it patch to stop leaking but will have to get a plumber to come look at it. Well, I did not know a plumber was coming by this morning so I was not home so then he came by at 5:30 and just looked at the hole in the ceiling and said he will talk to maintance tomorrow and see what they did and what will happen. They might have to shut the water off. GREAT! So I will see tomorrow how that goes. Well, I dropped my husband back off today to head back off to the field.
I guess that is when everything goes wrong so I have to deal with it. Well my AC has not been working too well but I did not want to complain anyone knows me I hate to complain or ask for help, Well tonight a storm hit and the lights went off for maybe 30 seconds to an minute. Well since then I just notice I kept getting hotter and hotter so I got up and looked sure enough it is 80 degrees in here. And if anyone knows me knows I hate it above 65 in my house. So I can't sleep in this weather.....UGH!

Okay enough complain onto another subject. I been talking about Jeremy and resigning. Well, yesturday Jeremy happen to be in the battalion and walked past the resignment person and he stopped Jeremy to let him know a couple of other issues with his resignment other then waiting till October. First is he has to take and past anothe PT test. No big deal there Last time he was injury when they had one so he missed out so it has been awhile. The second problem is kinda a big problem is his MOS is too full. So that means they are not resigning people with his MOS, so if he wants to stay in the Army he has to chose a new MOS that they are taking. Well, he has been thinking of changing his MOS anyways, so I guess this is his answers to prayers. Anyone who knows my husband knows he LOVES to cook and has always wanted to go to culitary school. When he orginialy thought about the army he wanted to be a cook but his recuirted talked him out of it. Well, now he has been thinking about honestly doing it. He could get so much education in culitary arts and even take culitary school while in the army. So that might be what he switches too. Just more to think about.

Well I really need to try to get some sleep even in this heat! Hopefully tomorrow my day will get better. Please hope it does!
