Yea, I'm trying

Ok so let's keep it real...I'm not much of a domestic goddess. Yea I cook, I
Clean, I even try my hand at baking(box cakes, I already said I'm not a domestic
Goddess). I feel like this man goes to work and when I'm not in class I'm at home
For the most part, so it's no excuse for him not to have a meal cooked waiting for him.
I know it's not 1952 but I feel like as his wife it's my duty to take care of him and make sure that his needs are met, and he does the same for me. When I'm in the living room hunched over a computer cursing the inventor of microeconomics he straightens the bedroom and will even run the vacuum. I'm stil trying to get him to cook though, it'll happen one day...its along the lines of this
Me: babe I don't feel like cooking you cook
Hubs: u want Chinese food?
Me: we have a fridge full of food.
Hubs: yea and you don't wanna cook
I leave it there because he will argue me down about cooking. But tonight he will have something special! I'm cooking chicken enchiladas with Spanish rice. I'm almost done cooking the chicken, which is pretty much the longest part then it's smooth sailing. I can't wait to see his cute little face. (sorry about the mush). Well this is me signing off,
Have a good rest of the day, maybe even surprise your guys with something that you don't make too often :)

Later days

army wife my new life

ok so lets be on our rick james( its a celebration for all you non chapelle watchers), the hubs is back!!! oh yea be jealous lol, just kidding, but i missed him more than words can express, i didnt realize how much he was a part of me until he left for Ft. Benning Ga. and now that he's back i feel like im whole again. ok yea very cheesy but he does that to me. so lets get started on this huge life change.

Pro:
DISCOUNTS GALORE, ok im not much of a shopper, probably strange for a young woman, but i hate the process of trying clothes on, searching for the "perfect" outfit. totally hate it. i mean my wardrobe is hot topic tee's, maybe a pair of jeans but mostly basketball shorts and a good pair of sneakers. I LOVE SNEAKERS!! (topic for another day). saving money on sneaks is a very good passtime

HEALTH, ok so yea, i love a good cheese burger and fries or onion rings and jay (hubs) does too, but with him having to keep his weight up (or down) we have changed our diets all the way around. we eat more salads and pretty much cut soda out of our diets. i lost 15 pounds (go me lol)

INCOME, slow and steady wins the race....i mean we have insurance and we can afford not to cook if we dont want to. oh yea and we can afford food to cook!!! no more "fasting"/ telling ourselves were not hungry. and i dont have to work at that MEGA NASTY ASS diner anymore!!

Pride, yea i love seeing him in his ACU's looking pround of himself. its funny when he's in uniform his whole walk changes, he'll walk like GI JOE.

CONS:

NO FACIAL HAIR, i loved his gotee, he had it since ive known him and now that i see the shaving cream out every morning im kinda sad.

LONLINESS, yea with him working alot he's not home at the usual times i got used to him being home and yea it gets lonely, but missing him allows me to realize how lucky i am to have someone to miss.

PDA, were not the make out in public type couple, but we do like to hold hands and depending on where we are that isnt too acceptable...

well so far were just enjoying all the time we have, mainly because deployment rumors are starting to come about...

later dayz
