So I'm all moved in now. Mike is home. Bills are on their way. Dinner needs to be cooked. Noah is screaming to be picked up and life is a little less easy. But a lot better now that I have my independence. I guess there is just something about drinking your own milk that makes it that much more fulfilling.
Life as it was is now settled down back to the way it was (For the most part) but as we're settling, we are also preparing for another deployment. Which means home movie making for Noah while he is away (he'll be 1 yr. 1 month by the time he leaves), "quality time" playing video games that are too addicting to put down until you go to bed and watching the calender until I have to see you later again.
I know it will be 10 months that he'll be back... and it's a MEU... and he'll be here for Noah's 1st Bday... Blah blah blah. Lucky me.. Right??
Dosn't mean I have to like him leaving. But that's Military.
On to a hopeful note, I'm looking for a job. Hopefully a maid job. I really don't care about cleaning other people's mess'. I actually might enjoy it. Why is cleaning other people's mess' less tasking? lol
I hope I get that job.. and in the mean time I'll be working on getting my massage lisence.

Coming to a close
As this deployment is coming to a rapid (but slooow) end, I been thinking about all that happened while he was away. Everything I did without his physical support here at home, also everything he has done without me being there as well. We both have grown so much in such a relatively short amount of time and soon we will be back in each others framilliar arms, but also re-getting to know each other.
I am so excited. Sad to say that my "Done" list if far shorter than my "To be done before he is back" list. Still need to clean, finish packing, laundry, and a ton other stuff including: Dental appointment.. GETTING MY BRACES OFF!! YIPEE! and something exciting that I have yet to tell my husband so that news comes later :) That will take up most of Thursday before he comes home.
In the middle of trying to get this all done, I have Noah's physical therapy, tummy time which I have renamed Hell time.. They say it works the neck muscles, but Noah just works out his lungs.
It's pretty difficult to find time for everything and still have time for the stuff I need as well. Like.. Shower? Sleep? LOL.
After I had Noah I cant eat like I used to. I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted, when I wanted. Now, it's a stomach upset if I have lunch for breakfast or eat past 8. SOOO if Noah is grumpy and goes to bed at around 8 and I haven't eaten.. I'm SOL.
Cant complain cause at least I'll be thin when Michael comes home at this rate, lmao.
I want to sleep... But I cant. I want him home and all the things I want to do when he is home is rushing through my head. He better go to sushi with me, cause I've been not eating sushi for a loooong time just so it can be extra special when we go out. Haha. I looooove our sushi dates!! And when Noah is old enough, he'll love sushi too.
Random blog! Going nuts. Going to bed.

It's been a long day and it's only half done.
I don't know what it is about today. I'm totally in a fog.
It was a really long night last night. Noah got up every three hours and one time he didn't go back to bed for hour and 15 min. He was having a great time sucking on his fingers making smacking noises with his mouth but then getting hungry from it so he would get fussy and I would have to rock him back to sleep. But then I got him to knock out. I was so happy. Finely I could go back to bed... but NO! I had to get a dry throat and cough causing him to be WIDE awake again...
End result? I'm very tired!
But of course, every day is a battle of 'what do I have time for?' and 'what do I have energy for?'
He's not at the age yet where you can sit him in front of toys and he will have a great time playing with them. I need to get engaged with him other wise he'll get bored and cry.. So a long shower will have to wait... till daddy gets back, ha. So when he's down to sleep, I wash and fill endless bottles. I wash and fold his laundry. Take care of the dirty diapers that are everywhere. Restock the nursery in prep for the night. Or if I'm really tired, I push it all off and write in my blog.
Although it's hard not having daddy here to help, I love it. He is the most cute and precious little thing that I have ever seen. I know this sounds bad, but I love watching him cry, but only for a little bit. It's adorable. He makes this pouting noise that kills me. I know he'll get his way alot when older.
But today? I don't want to do anything :( I miss my husband. I REALLY want him home so bad. I miss his company. I know were getting close, but it feels worse then when we had four months to go. Weired I know. It feels like a long stretch of time between calls and when he does call I forget everything I want to say!!
Even though I WISH I could crawl into bed and not come out till he is home... I'm a mommy now and I gotta push my butt out the door and take Noah to the park and get more bottles so I'm not constantly washing them all the time. That's my plan for today. And maybe get on to dental.. haha.

Day two: Favorite movie
Honestly, I don't really have a favorite movie. I can't think of any :^/ I used to LOVE Elizabethtown. I could watch that movie a million time, but now that I'm married and have a baby, the thought of watching it bores me.
But, if I had to choose a movie to watch right now, it would be anything Michael and I loved to watch together. It makes me feel like he's not so far away. Like Monsters VS Aliens. Haha.
I love: The Sound of Music, Audrey Hepburn films, Huphrey Bogart Films, Christian films, Imax films, stuff like that...
BUT!! My most favorite movies are the homemade ones!!! I can watch those ALL the time.

30 days of me: Favorite song
My favorite song (Right now) is "That's what I love about Sunday" by Craig Mogan.
It reminds me of a much simpler life that I want so bad with my husband.
Church, fishing, family & friends, napping.
When I listen to this song, I can almost feel myself in Michael's arms "on the porch swing" watching Noah play in the grass.
Is he home yet??

Introduction
It's interesting to me how when I see the open "about me" box and I leave it blank not knowing at all how to sum my life up.
So what about me??
Well, I'm a 22 year old who lives in California, living under the same roof that my mom brought me home in. I love California but there is such a large part of me that wants something completely different then the city and beach. It all seems so loose.. Like the people and the places don't have any roots. So how could I place roots somewhere where I feel like the next breeze could whisk me and my family away? Or maybe it's just my home situation that makes me feel that now :^/ ?
On that note, I am married to a wonderful, gorgeous (and might I add, sexy) husband Michael. Our marriage is new, 10 months today in fact, and I see our future bright and clear as the first time I layed eyes on him. Together we have a beautiful son named Noah who is honestly the glimmer in my eyes. I feel like I gave birth to my heart and soul. Michael and I are Baptists who put God above everything else. Without Him, all else will crumble. He is our foundation. Our rock. Our shelter in life's storms. I would surely be nothing without these three men in my life.
Now we all have troubles in our lives. Something that we're all getting through. I'm not going to sit here and write "Oh my life is so perfect" because no ones life is.
I'm going through my first deployment with my husband. I believe we will come out more strong then we ever have. It has put us through challenges and obstacles and I'll tell you now, we conquered it all. I can proudly say that my husband is coming home to me and our son and I cant wait for his arms around me and the weight of his lips on mine. I can taste it already.
So, dealing with deployment and my own inner struggles of my severe need for Independence and my own place with my own family, away from the things that I don't want to have to witness, I would have to say Michael's coming home couldn't come a day sooner.
But!! In the mean time, I will stay on Face Book praying for that little green circle to light up, telling me that my husband is safe and we are able to talk again. And I will change every poopy diaper, make 3-4 late night bottles, deal with Noah's cranky-ness in the evening and put everyone of his needs before mine every day until my husband comes home where I can share the load. I need to remind myself that I AM indeed a woman and Michael's wife who dresses up and puts care into herself. I tend to forget that when he is away.
I pray that September passes and Summer fades quickly. I'm ready for some pumpkin picking, outdoor ice skating, mall shopping, sushi eating, Noah kissing time with my Husband.
