7 Days and a wake up.

This is the text I got from Mikey this morning.  "7 Days and a wake up"

But, you know what?  That's just TOO long.  Mikey has been gone almost two weeks, and he will be back in well...7 days and a wake up.  {It's how they counted down to things at the Citadel}  I apologize to any single parents/military spouses who may read this because you deal with this every day/a lot more than I do.  But, this is my life and I want my husband back, I'm used to him being here.  HERE. with me, and C.  Yes, we talk on the phone a lot still, and facetime...but it's just not the same.  I want my man back, now.  Honestly, it hasn't been hard.  I've been staying with my parents for goodness sakes, so I've had help and even had someone cooking for me...major bonus.  But, it's just not the same. 

Something (someone) is missing.  And it sucks.  I can totally tell he is really starting to miss me and especially Collins.  He's scared she's going to forget him.  She gets so excited when we facetime though.  (Again, I apologize to any military spouses because I can't even imagine what you go thru...and am so thankful for it)  Mikey and I started dating when we were 19...he went to college at The Citadel and I still don't know if we ever went this long without seeing each other.  Seriously.  I'm over it. Ready to have my partner back.

Doesn't help much that I have come down with a terrible cold/infection of some sort.  Yesterday was the pits.  I could NOT stop coughing all day long.  I slept for 10 hours last night and still feel yuck this morning. 

Needless to say...I'm ready for this sickness to be gone and my husband to get his butt home and life to return back to normal.  I miss normal. 

Sorry for the gloom and doom today.

xoxo.

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
