New MOON

New Moon Movie

I have my tickets in hand for New Moon and the special showing of Twilight! I am so excited I cannot wait!

I love the morning breeze whipping past as we cut through the warm air! On our way to a place where you never know what you might see. Every day holds a new possibility to blow your mind one more time. Today the marine layer is thick it cast dull Grey on a normally blue and white capped sea. AS we ride past you can barely see the waves you know to be there speckled with surfers looking to catch a break. Today a business man out for his morning run with his freshly bought Starbucks stops at a struggling young homeless kid trying to juggle. He has dropped ball after ball. I cannot hear but see the man still holding his fresh bought mocha latte take the 2 bright yellow balls in one hand an through them in the air to juggle teaching the kid all while still holding his cup. Today I see the multimillion dollar beach front vacation rentals with people out sipping their morning cup or grandmothers out watching the children playing with the foam noodles...I know they wishing if only their vacation could last just a few more days. I am wishing as well to live here forever. I pass the shopkeepers opening up shop out sweeping a patio layered with the sand that surrounds them. I pass the oh so fine life guards prepping their gear for the sure to be busy day. I arrive at the end of the board walk to come upon the always reliable volleyball girls today sporting their rash guards and itty bitty bikini bottoms. I turn around to a sun trying it's best to beat back the fog. It is working as I ride the sun becomes stronger and brighter and I am wishing I had not worn jeans for this wonderful ride. Passing the Pacific Beach pier you still can barely see the cottages on the end. Your starting to be able to see the surfers more clearly and the beach goers scattered along the shore. It such a magical place it is only 9:20am and it is already littered with people just trying to catch some of the wonderfulness that is Pacific Beach! Arriving again at the other end of the boardwalk. You can actually see the bright strong sun winning the war against the fog. In amazement we just have to stop and capture this moment to share with everyone who might care about this awesome mother earth's natural beauty!

On our way home the people are more fun to watch then anything else. We ride the sidewalks never sure of what insane beautiful crazy unreal absolutely amazing thing you might see. We a Tandum bike built for two with the cutest old people who no doubt are still madly in love peddling as fast as they can. We come across twoo beautiful women standing outside a small cafe with the smell of coffee all around locked in a loving embrace. Crying brushing the hair back from one anothers face kissing one last time before they break for who knows maybe the last time. Homeless men who say hello and nod their heads.
It is such an amazing world to discover. It is my front yard. It is my home. It is where I belong!

I'd be California...If California was a girl!

This morning when I signed on to AOL it was all decorated with fall leaves...I said to myself hmm I bet Tennessee's trees are turning, wish I could see it. It was a passing thought, a minor tug at my heart strings. I didn't really think about it again until I was cruising down the Pacific Beach Boardwalk that thought came back to me and I was just blown away by how I would not trade California for anything. I love living here so very much. It has changed me so much. I have been chosen to do a commercial for Stroller Strides in November. I mean it just cannot get any better and when I think hmm maybe I might miss somethign else all I gotta do is think about it. Florida with it's humidity and Tennessee haha from what I have heard it has been raining like crazy things are flooded everywhere. Thank god for the Navy and moving us here. Thank god for California!
We might always be broke, we might have a lot to complain about but all we gotta do to snap ourselves out of it is walk out side!

Just Us!

Steve came home July 2 and life has been perfect. Their really wasn't any big adjustment it was pretty much like he never had left. It was amazing of coarse I had, had time with him in Hawaii but even Dillon and Breanna acted as though he had just always been here. I think just proving how close knit our little family is. We have been staying very busy doing things like seaworld and dinner with shamu. Soak city and the beach and just being together. It really has been so wonderful and I am not exaggerating.
I had gotten a new couch before Steve came home and I had tried to keep it a secret but I have a big mouth and told him and sent him pictures and my husband being his ever reliable self got upset and said he didn't want a new couch and he wished I had talked with him and blah blah. The truth is he just doesn't like change which is kinda odd given our navy life but things he can help he doesn't like to change. Well, anyway back to it...he now loves our couch. It has in a way brought our love and sweetness out even more. We pile pillows up in the corner and each lay on a side of it and our heads will be close and it is just our new cuddle position. It is comfortable and sweet and I absolutely treasure it.
I am truly the luckiest girl. My husband is the sweetest man, the greatest father and my best friend and I am so blessed to have him back home where he belongs. Everyday we have together is so precious to me and I am not taking one of them for granted. With duty days being every 4 days now it certainly helps not taking them for granted. Like tonight I am sitting here by myself watching some chick movie wishing he was here cuddling with me on the couch. I just love him so very much.
On another note we will be flying home in a week. Yes the east coast is still home. Despite how much we love California and how much we seem to fit in...the east coast has Krystals and Sonnys and our favorite Japanese steakhouses and Zaxbys and most importantly our family. We are very excited about coming home. I am a bit nervous flying with Breanna but will be giving her some sleepy goodness. It will be a bit odd being back there but I am really excited. I love the beach but I am craving the Hawaissi like I have for the past 3 years. It just doesn't seem like summer without a trip to Richie's and being on that river. Seems odd but I miss that so much.
I am also really hopeful to see some of Steve's family that live in North Carolina and letting the kids play together. I really want our little girls to get together and share bunnies LOL.
Ok well that is enough from me right now. Til next time.

I have the best husband...I am so lucky

So Steve calls me out of the blue on Saturday and I happened to be out shopping. Which I did not need to be so I was like I am checking out I will rush home call me back. He is hesitant telling me it is ok i don't have to. I said no I will. SO we get home and he calls and I am kinda like ok why is he calling. It was the day before mothers day we had just talked a few days before. So much has been up in the air with the ships schedule that when he stopped talking. I was like ok is something going on and he was like no why should there be and I was like no it is just a feeling I have I mean why did you call. He was all what do you mean what do YOU think is going on. I said well you just told me the other day about a possible change in the schedule so is it that. He is like no and I was all ok what? He said I think you need to look into how much it would cost to meet me where Brian lives. A code word we have. I was like what are you serious. A because we had already discussed it and he said it would not be worth the money to get me over there when he would be home so shortly after. So I was shocked. B because we don't have any money. I looked and found a very cheap flight we are staying with friends and I got the kids taken care of thanks to my good friends here. It all fell into place in one evening it was amazing. Now I get to see my husband in 16 days and I cannot wait. I am obviously excited about going to where the ship pulls in but it could be Antarctica and I would still be over joyed cause I get to see Steve. I cannot wait. This is a dream come true. Now we will have 6 days of uninterrupted us time. Time I cannot wait for and will treasure for the rest of my life. I am so happy and lucky to have him.

Look @ my HOT man!
