A big Tadoo...

Well it’s been almost a week since I last posted, so I thought it was time to update this thing..

As you saw in my last post ‘Busy Bee’ I was getting ready for my first ever Navy Ball, well let me tell you when it rains it pours. So on Friday I was getting all the last minute things ready (my jewelry, clutch, etc.) when I found out the girl who was suppose to do my hair and make-up couldn’t do it because something came up for her and the time she told me a few weeks ago wasn’t going to work. Needless to say, I ended up having to do it myself and I was NOT happy about it. It was a big tadoo..

Anyways, Saturday came and it was time for the ball.. I got ready pretty early because I had no idea what I was going to do with myself. I was so mad that I had to do this all myself it made me not want to go at all. Yes, yes, yes I know that sounds kinda dumb, but I was pissed as I’m sure you all would be. Regardless, I knew that I had to go for my husband because he was NOT going WITHOUT me. Haha.

Well we both got ready and went, it was pretty much what I expected it to be. Very traditional. The speakers were nice, kinda dull like a school assembly. I seen some pretty nice dresses there; I’m glad that I ordered mine online since there were a few repeats but that’s too be expected in a small place like this where there are hardly any dress shops; then I saw some scary dresses, some people need to learn that ‘formal to semi-formal’ does not mean your coochy needs to almost hang out for the world to see. Stay Classy. So gross! We left pretty early but I didn’t want to drive home super late from a town I had only been once before during the day.

I would suggest that you go to a ball at least once, it’s so nice to see all the men in their dress uniforms and such. We had a good time with our friends and it was nice seeing everyone before people start going to their new bases.

OH OH OH!!! I almost forgot, we got the town house. So excited!! We get the keys tomorrow and start moving in on Wednesday… wish us luck that my husband and I wont kill eachother because we almost did yesterday. Conclusion = Moving is STRESSFUL.

Video Post.

Just watch..

I just want to say, if you have never heard of Army Wife 101, you should definitely look it up. Yes, I know it says 'Army' but I can almost guarantee that you can relate to it.

Busy Bee.

I know it has been a few days since the last time I posted for you all, but as the title says I have been quite the busy little bee. My birthday, looking for a new place with the husband, and preparing for my much anticipated trip back to California.

Well anyways I had my twentieth birthday this last week. It was great, my husband and I went to dinner with another military couple to an amazing teppanyaki restaurant called Hakata Japanese Steak House. If you are in South-Eastern North Carolina, I definitely recommend going. The cook was great, he was so entertaining and the food was absolutely delish. We had such a good time. On the other had, I was kinda sad not to be at home with my friends and family on my birthday. I miss them more than anything. I’m sure you can all relate to this, but I know that there are going to be many more birthdays to spend with them and I need to make the most of my situation here. Not everything can go my way, I think I am finally starting to realize this. That’s a good this I suppose.

Second on the list.. finding a new place. I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many different apartment complexes my husband and I have been to in the last few months. It was starting to get frustrating after a while and everything began looking the same. After a while I started feeling like we were never going to find a place, but then we struck gold. We found a cute little town house with the help of a realtor and put an offer in. We have our fingers crossed that we get it. Hopefully we'll know by today.

Lastly, California is only a few weeks away! I think I am way too excited about going to visit my family and friends. I never thought I would miss my home town so much, it’s a weird thought. I'm glad that while I'm there I will get to see my nephew play soccer, be at his birthday party, be there for Halloween (my favorite holiday), and my sisters birthday. I thought I was going to miss all of this, but I guess I got lucky... Oh and we are also taking family pictures for the first time in over seven years. I cannot wait!

In the next few weeks I’m probably not going to post because as you can see I have a lot of going on, but don’t fret because when I get home there will be something new for you all.

Separation?

This isn’t going to be a super long one, but it’s my food for thought today.

So is it really such a bad thing that I want to keep my California life and my navy wife life separate? I really don’t think so. This has been something that’s been on my mind for the last week now and kinda bothering me too...

As my twentieth birthday is quickly approaching I’ve been starting to evaluate the person I’ve become in the last year. Before I moved to North Carolina, I was the youngest daughter, the babygirl, the little sister, the student/classmate, the friend, but now I have a new title. I am the wife, the homemaker, the support system, a grown woman.

I’m not the same person as I was back in California and I’m not quite sure how I feel about that. Yes, I have grown and matured which is a good thing, but I feel like I don’t quite act the same.

Now, I’m not going to lie sometimes I ask myself ‘why did my heart have to fall in love with a military man?’ but don’t get me wrong or misconstrue my words in any way because I love my husband and would do absolutely anything humanly possible for him without a second thought.

And yes, I love my family and I love my friends but sometimes things just change. Not for better or worse, they just change. I wonder what it’s going to be like when I go back to California in a few weeks. The other day in the car I asked my husband if he thought it would be different when we went back and he said, “Yes.” And that’s what started this whole thought about my two different lives...

Blah, Blah, Blah.

October, already? I can hardly believe it. Where did this year go? I couldn’t tell you. It seems like the months are flying by faster than ever lately. I’ve already been in North Carolina for almost four months now... sheesh! Although I haven’t been here long I’ve heard so much hear-say, it’s kinda comical actually.

Anyways, so I’ve seen this A LOT lately and thought this would make a great blog for you all.

Lets face it we all know that not everyone is cut out to be a military S/O, but that doesn’t mean you need to completely bash it publicly. I know, I know people are just ignorant but still...

As I’m sure most of you know (and if you didn’t, now you do) I am an avid Facebooker. I like to keep up with what’s going on in my friends and families lives even though I am not so close to them anymore, I also have fellow military wives from all over. I know you’re probably thinking get to the point already, so here it is –

what absolutely gets under my skin is when wives complain about other wives and how catty they are on FB. Yes, I do understand how frustrating it is, believe me I do. But do you not get that you are only fueling their fire by talking about it on Facebook? Because you are. Yeah, you think you are just speaking your mind, but no – you’re just sinking to their level.

They feed off of your reactions. It is just like high school and it will NEVER change. Not everyone is going to try to be your bff and not everyone is as nice as they seem. This is the real world people. I get the whole trying to make friends as soon as you move to a new base because the instability of this life can break some people, but for goodness sake use some intuition and good judgement.

Now, I’m not trying to be all negative nancy here... I do know there are some genuinely good people out there and I’ve personally met a few wives that I would not trade their friendships for the world.

Just act like the adults I know you are and put those big girl panties on.

“Nobody said this was gonna be easy...”
