military life.

The military lifestyle definitely takes some getting used to. My dad has been active duty Air Force my entire life, but growing up with you dad in the military is a lot different than your hubby! After basic, AIT, and Airborne; & having Richard gone for 2 months before I got to Italy was a bit of a rough time for us--especially since it was our first year of being married! I can not explain how unstressed I have been since I have been able to be here and see him everyday. He is home to me and no place will ever feel better than being in his arms. But with the military/Army you must learn to be ready for anything. Deployments schedules often get moved up and it's something that no one likes; but I will stand behind my hubby and support him 100%. Luckily this one isn't quite as long, but it definitely snuck up on me. :( And yes I know a lot of wives are going through the same thing but my hubby is my baby and I am a huge baby when it comes it him leaving. 

Since he will be gone for just a short couple a months I have decided to use that time to really focus on me and some goals that I have been putting off. I am so very blessed to have been able to get a job so quickly so that will also keep me busy. I am hoping to get a second job here pretty soon but we will see. 

Some of my goals:
-Figure out what is going on with my student loans & start paying them off
-Start saving again!
-Get in better shape (lower body fat percentage and lose the weight I want)
-Eat clean! (this is usually easier when I am living by myself just because I don't even buy junk food)
-Work out 5-6 times a week:) (we already do this but I wanna keep it up!)
-Try to be an amazing support system for my honey and send him tons of cute care packages! :)

I miss my family so so much and especially have been missing my grandpa. It's almost been two years since he's passed. I feel so blessed to know that he is still with me and he is watching out for me. His wonderful advice always comes to mind when I need it most. Hopefully I will be seeing my family sooner rather than later:) I love each and everyone of them so much! Family is the most important thing. For now I will send every second that I can with my hubby! Hopefully he won't get too annoyed me with; lol just joking;) muah xoxo!!
