So we are sitting pretty right now at 29.2% done with the deployment. I wish it was more. I've been having a really mopey last couple of days but that is because I haven't talked to him. I keep missing him online. The first couple days he was out on a mission and wasn't able to get on a computer and then yesterday I had to have two root canals done, and then today I was laying on the couch and had the computer on the couch with me and I ended up falling asleep and the stupid computer didn't go off when he came online. I was so upset. I just really miss my husband and I want him back so bad. I keep counting down the days until R&R and I am so excited for that but I want him home for good. It's going to be hard as hell to see him go back there. I hope the two weeks that he is here, time just stops and drags on. Sigh.

I am however so insanely happy being in this new place. And the animals love it too. It's awesome. So big and they love their fence; I love being able to put them OUT in their fence. :) And I love love love my new neighbor. Kara and her friend Chandra. I instantly hit it off with them and I am so happy to have someone to talk to who knows exactly what I'm going through with this deployment. We hang out every day. They are awesome girls. I did have Jennifer staying with me for about 3 weeks because her and Chris are still having issues. I don't even know what to think or say about that. I love the girl to death but she has just changed so much the last few months. She is almost a different person completely. And she drove me crazy while she was here. Oh boy did she, haha. But she left a couple days ago and moved back in with Chris.. supposedly just as roommates until September because then she is going to take the kids and move back to Kentucky.. however she is leading Chris on like crazy because she is making out with him and when he stops it she gets angry and cries.. ugh, I hate being in the middle of someone else's drama. Seriously, I hate it. And I got into a fight with both of them last week because I told them how much I couldn't deal with it. I'm not picking sides and I won't be in the middle. I will be friends to both of them and listen to whatever they need but that is it. And I think Jennifer is a little mad at me because I'm friends with Chris and I've been talking to him. But he has been a really good friend to ME lately.. helping me get through the deployment, giving me advice and honestly just being a really good listener and friend. I appreciate all he has done for me. Anyways, I hope that whatever happens between the two of them, that they will be happy. They both deserve happiness.

Not a whole lot else going on. Just spending LOTS of money on these animals. In the last three weeks I have spent 850 dollars on them. Between the vaccinations, microchips, Odin's fight, and then Harvey's little flu bug.. yeah, 850$. And then in 5 days Biff is supposed to be getting neutered and that is going to be another 250 dollars. I want to cancel the appointment because it is so much money but he needs to have it done. I want to save up for R&R but it's hard constantly spending so much money on the pets. Of course they are all  happy and healthy now and that is really all that matters, it just sucks having to spend so much cash. I am going to go back to work R&R.. thinking about going back into waitressing just because the money is so much better and I like to think I'm somewhat good at it. :) Next week though I am going to go down to Barton Community College and look into getting my GED. I've procrastinated on that for 10 years now. I honestly have been too scared to do it. I'm afraid I'm going to fail it. Failure is a huge fear of mine. So I plan on taking the pre-test and seeing what I need to work on, then taking some of the classes that they offer to study up for it.. and then take the test. I really want to pass. And then I would like to start taking some other kind of classes to better myself. And I've been wanting to do that for awhile.. and I think it would be great if I did it while Randy is deployed because hopefully I can be making good money doing something I enjoy doing and we can be happy in that department. I don't want him to be the only one bringing in income. He's been pretty awesome and he spoils me so much. I love my husband.

Well, I better finish this up. I just haven't written in awhile so I thought I'd blog a little. It always helps to write out my thoughts. I just think sometimes that I'm too depressing because all I usually write about is how much I miss my husband.

Oh! And he got another award! For his last mission, he was called out in front of hundreds of soldiers and was given a certificate, a coin, and some promotion points. I am so damn proud of him. He amazes me more and more every day, I swear I am the luckiest girl in the world. He's saving lives.. I couldn't be more proud of him. I was even able to see some pictures that someone took of him recieving the award and shaking the guys hand. I'm definitely impressed. Like I have said 1,000 times.. I love this man! :)

Also, 66% done until R&R.. wish it would speed up!
