once again

Once again the realization of deployment is bothering me. Tonight we have a meeting to get things around for wills and POA. that is crazy that we are already thinking about this once December is over it is all down hill from there. Everyone is leaving 29 and I am stranded here. I DO NOT want to go home, like I have said before I hate home so I am not going back there. I am just so scared that something will happen to him this time. Last time I was is denial that it could happen, but some things have changed (OSPEC- not going into detail) and is job could be even more dangerous than before. What do I do, sometimes I am scared and other times sad. It is just crazy to think deployment is right around the corner. I really signed up for a life or this? him coming and going all the time and living in fear every single day. Wow. I don't regret marrying him at all and I am proud of him as a marine, but this is just a crazy realization I have am going to face. Just me and the dog for 7 months. wow, Lord please help me.

scared?

I'm unsure of what has triggered it or why I feel this way but all of the sudden I am scared and worried about Cody deploying again. Even though it is quite a ways away it is still really close and it scares me. We got their schedule right up until it is time to leave and I guess just the thought that every thing is already planned out and we are already planning for yet another deployment scares the crap out of me. I don't know how it will actually go. Last deployment I had school every day and lived where my family was so it wasn't completely horrible yeah I missed him and was worried about him but it wasn't too bad. This time I will be all the way in california and I plan to go home for a few weeks but not moving home that's just insane. I don't know what I will do I kinda go crazy with him at work late somedays since I am here alone... Okay, I have our dog Gunner but it is still lonely. A plus this time is I have a friend who is married to a guy in cody's platoon so they will be together and we will be together. We are partners in crime. I just had to get it out that I am worried and scared and any other emotions that comes with deployment. Last time I didn't freak out until the day he left and even then I was pretty chill about it... I don't know.

Same Thing, Different Day

Basically I do the same things everyday and not much changes. Cody is at the rifle range most of the day I take him at 3 am and pick him up whenever he calls. I clean, clean, and clean some more. It seems like my house is never clean even though that is all I do. I want a job so bad, I can't stress that enough. I am a person who needs to keep busy and I am going crazy sitting here. Ugh... hopefully something soon though.

Last night Cody and I played Call of Duty Team Deathmatch and I always do good at the beginning and then suck it up at the end. I'm sure is someone watched us play they would be entertained. We call each other some mean names and hit each other but we don't really mean it, it is just fun and games. We applied for a loan at the bank yesterday for Cody to get a motorcycle, a Honda CBR 250R to be exact and we are suppose to find out today if he was approved then we can go get the bike. Then we are going to get gear like helmets, gloves, jackets and I have been looking at some stuff online and I am crazy excited. I am scared to ride a little since I have never been on a bike but I kind of feel like a badass. hahaha it just sounds fun to pull up some place and get off the back of Cody's bike. I don't know maybe I am a nerd. I just don't want to die... o_0      <---I love that little face

Where have I been?

Wow! I haven't been on here in forever and I gave up on my 31 days military challenge. I guess things just stated getting busy. I had one more week of school, an open house to plan, packing to do, graduation, and my husband was suppose to be home before I was going to be out there. I had to change all of my plans to get out there. So I flew to LA and had a friend pick me up and my parents drove my car and stuff out here. Then they got delayed in Kyrgistan (I know it is spelled wrong) and then delayed in germany so they ended up getting home on the day I would have been out here if I would have just drove... but whatever. It was so wonderful to see him again. He didn't turn his phone on so I didn't know which bus he would be getting off of so I just stood in the middle next to some big cement thing and I couldn't find him. He called me from someone else's phone and asked where I was and I told him in the middle next to some big cement thing and he asked where is that... umm I don't know so he hung up and got mad. So I went searching for him and left my parents. Then I turn around and he was right there with my parents so of course I went running to him and gave him a huge hug shaking and crying. It was so awesome. I even hugged him so hard I knocked his cover clean off his head :) So we have gotten our house around and got a german shorthaired pointer puppy and named him Gunner. Now, we are just living day to day. It seems like there is always something else we need for our house though. It's frustrating. Now for some pictures.

First Hug and notice his cover on the ground :)

Day 9

Day 9 - A picture of your favorite thing that you or your significant other has made and tell what it is.

well I didn't really know what to use so I went through my pictures and I found the top one that always makes me laugh. Cody made a drawing on my stomach. He used my belly button ring as the anchor and put a boat in the water with fishys. The boat is called "THE Kaitlyn" and it has us on a boat with him doing me in butt saying "I Love Your Dick" and he is speechless with stars and a bucktooth smiley face. Ohh... and my mole is the light to the light house. Can you tell he is the creative one?


The bottom picture is our pumpkins we made October 31, 2011 the day before he went to bootcamp. His pumpkin is the badass looking one and mine is the USMC one (I am motarded) We had a contest and obviously he won.

Day 6, 7, 8

Day 6 - A picture of the base your man is at and tell 5 cool things about that base.

Twentynine Palms, Ca is where Cody is stationed at. Though right now he is in Afghanistan. 

Five Good Things:

1. Warm

2. Not Michigan

3. It is where Cody and I will make our first home

4. It is in California so that means that with a little drive there is a lot too do and explore.

5. Did I mention it is Warm?

Day 7 - A picture of a wonderful friend that you’ve made because of your significant other being in the military.

My very first Marine family friends. I meet them while Cody was in Bootcamp on usmc.yuku.com and though I have never met them they have helped me so much through this whole Marine journey. Shelly in the top picture is a Marine Mom and is very dedicated to her children. She is an awesome person and very supportive. Bryn in the bottom picture is a Marine Girlfriend and is awesome. She is very supportive and can always make me smile or laugh when I am having a down time. I am looking forward to meeting many more moms, girlfriends, and wives when I move to California, but they will always be my firsts. lol

Day 8 - A picture that is your favorite from deployment, or if he hasn’t been deployed yet, a picture of see you laters, him coming home, or him deployed, and tell why it is your favorite.

Well Cody is currently deployed and I don't have any pictures of him leaving me at the airport and though he will be home soon and I will have an over abundance of pictures I don't have any yet. So, I have the top picture from after 13 weeks of Bootcamp at Parris Island on Family Day our very first hug  I am squeezing him to death not wanting to let him go and you can see the smile in his eye and the bottom one is after his Bootcamp Graduation, this just shows how happy I was to finally be with him again and it just looks priceless.

twenty-four days until Graduation and Moving :D

Day 5

Day 5 - A picture of the branch he is in and list your favorite thing about him being in the military

Cody is a Marine. There are two things I love about him being in the Marines...

1. The Uniform, need I say more those darn Dress Blues will get you every time

and

2. After Bootcamp he became a much better person and boyfriend (well now husband)

Day 4

Day 4 - A ...picture of the family he had to leave behind to protect his country.

Well Cody left behind, of course me his lovely wife whom he loves dearly. lol and since we don't have any kids I decided he also left behind his parents and siblings. I couldn't find in our hundreds of wedding pictures the picture with our siblings but ohh... well. The top picture is me and the bottom picture is us with our parents at our wedding. I find is so depressing that everyone is divorced and with someone else. I am still unsure why they are so blurry, it might be from me transferring my pictures from my gateway to my Mac I am unsure ohh... well


Anyways, can you believe it is already May. CRAZY.

Day 3

Day 3 - A picture of how you met (for example, computer for you met online, school for you met in high school, ect), and tell the date you met. Did you know then that you’d be where you are with him today?

Okay, so this is the ONLY picture I could find of my high school. But this is where I met Cody. I knew him as Cody Gallant my brother's friend who always wore a purple LSU sweatshirt (that I made fun of him for) but the first time I ever talked to him was in the hallway as he was asking me to prom. Kind of crazy to ask someone to prom the very first time you talk to them EVER. but it was cute especially when we talk about how we felt that day and stuff I love telling him what I thought when he did this or that. :D I just Love him. <3

Day 2

Day 2 - A picture of you and your military significant other being silly.

These pictures are really blurry because I took them on my phone but it was on Cody's Pre-deployment Leave and I had his shorts on my head and in the bottom picture I was "being an Arab" :D

I have ONE MONTH until Graduation and Moving to California :D

Day 1

Day 1 - A picture of you and your military significant other

Yep, that is Cody and I. Pretty plain and simple :D

Ohh... Happy Days

So today has been wonderful. I had some rough spots but at the end of the day it turned out wonderful. I got the call I have been waiting months for. Cody's return date window. Yippie. I am so excited to finally know of course I can't say it due to OPSEC but yeah. There is a little bit of conflict with it but I am putting it in God's hands he has a plan.

I called housing and they said we were getting an apartment not the duplex we wanted I was furious. But after doing some research I found out it is the area we wanted but isn't exactly a duplex confusing but whatever. I am happy nothing will bring me down, maybe waking up to go to horrible school in the morning but tonight I am great. :D

Good Mood :D

So I am in the mmost wonderful mood in the world everything just seems to be falling right into place. First off, I got to talk to Cody 3 times in the past two days. CRAZY! He took the thing about his friend Underwood pretty hard and I hated having to be the bear of bad news. But with all of our talking we have talked about all the thing we are going to do when he gets home. Go to Cedar Point (amusement park,) a Tigers baseball game, the zoo, sleep under the stars where he asked me to marry him, snuggle (god I have missed that,) shop, get our house setup, and finally have a Barbecue. I am so excited. I can't wait for him to come home. I just want to hold him in my arms again, ahh... it is almost time.

Of course with the good comes the Semper Gumby or Always Flexible. Cody told me one time when he called me that he was going to be home May 28. of course my first thought WHAT THE FUCK! That is the day before my graduation and I will not be there. So after run through it in my head I came to the conclusion if that does happen I will fly out there for a few hours if I have to and back home to be sleeping at graduation. I don't care I WILL BE THERE. Of course though Cody and his dramatic self says "I am going to be a poor homeless kid with no place to go" and "I am going to tell Sells (his friend) family that you are a cheating whore and that's why you didn't show up" haha That is our sense of humor though obviously I am not a cheating whore, we always do that like I ask him how his Hajji girlfriend is over there, he asked me what my boyfriend got me for valentine's day that is how we are and I love it. Soon he will be home and we can make jokes together. YAY!

News on Underwood is he went to Germany last night for us and today for us is doing good (not sure exactly what that includes, consciousness I think) and will be state side in the next week. God really does work miracles and I can not wait to tell Cody whenever I talk to him. :D

Hope everyone had an awesome Easter. I did in Frankenmuth and at my dad's too bad I had Anatomy homework but hey life is good and my new life is about to start soon so I will stop complaining... Maybe :D

Sorry for grammatical errors I hate them but my brain isn't up to fixing them.

Prayers Needed

Mitch Underwood, Cody's good friend from bootcamp and ITB and the sweetest guy you will ever meet has been injured in Afghanistan. Earlier today his wife called me and told me what had happene and I was in complete and utter shock. He was blown up while on a mission and has multiple health problems. I ask that everyone pray for him, his wife, and 1 year old son. He had about nine weeks left before he would be home. This isn't even my husband and I am shocked, scared, and sad. I can't imagine if this was to happen to me. So please pray...

On another note I got to talk to Cody.

Ready to move on

I downloaded the Blogger app on my phone so I'm not sure how this will look.

So anyways I have everything but essentials packed and I still have 36 days until I move. I guess you could say I am a little excited. There is a picture maybe at the bottom of this post again I am on the app and don't know where it will be at. The picture is of all my boxes I have packed up to go. I have a hitch now on my car now it is a boy car not a girl car. :( it's tragic I know.
There has been so much drama at school and I can't wait for it to be over with like really people? We have 20 days of school left just suck it up and be nice to each other. I can't wait to get out of there and this small town.
I visited Cody's dad today at the family lawn mower shop and it was nice to see him and cody's grandparents too. Reminds me of Cody. I love when I leave and my jacket or shirt smell like the oil and lawn mowerness of the shop and I get a whiff of it all day long reminding me of the way Cody would smell when he came home from work at the shop.
This weeken I am going to Frankenmuth with my Aunt and Uncle for Easter. You probably don't know what it is an I can't really explain it so I suggest Google searching it. It's like a German town. I don't know google knows better.
Anyways, I really miss Cody and still haven't heard from him since March 29. It is so FRUSTRATING. I have so much to talk to him about but if I don't have a call by Monday I am calling housing and making my own decisions. But anyways, I hope everyone has a great Easter. :D

Army Wives

 I just got done watching the first episode of Season 2 of Army Wives. I recently started watching the show because I have heard how great it was and wanted to start from the beginning. I don't want to ruin anything for those who haven't watch it and want to. But the last episode of Season 1 was crazy. You can not end a season like that. I think God knew I would be made so he had Barnes & Noble have a buy one get one half off sale so I would buy Season two. Thank God I did. I balled for about half of the first episode of Season 2 so I think it is time to call it a night. Crying takes a lot out of you. I think I was crying because it was sad and emotional what happened. Any show you watch you begin to grow on the people in it and believe them to be your family. Like House or NCIS, my other two favorite TV shows, I grow onto the people and get to where I care about them like I really do know them. Anyways, I was crying because I had a connection with these people in some way and because I think it got me thinking about Cody. Yeah, he is on my mind all the time but I just kinda push the fact that he is actually IN Afghanistan and could die or be seriously injured this very second and I am living my life like he is still alive. You never really know. I am really good at hiding my feelings and acting like everything is perfectly fine. So I put that face on most of the time but I also have my times where I breakdown and cry forever and feel like crap, I think most of us do. ugh... why can't Cody just be home now. 45 days until Graduation and moving to California.

I let Odie stay up late with me while I watched Army Wives and he of course passed out hours ago but he has been having dreams which causes him to kick and make noises. I always wonder what he is dreaming about because people you can just ask when they wake up dogs though you never really know. Ohh... Well he brightened my day for having his little doggy dreams :D Now Cody just needs to call me so my life will seem a little less stressful but I do stress myself out a little bit too much over little things anyways. But I think it is bed time I have Horrid school tomorrow. UGH! 25 days of sitting in school left. yippie.
P.S. I have been kinda sucking at blogging not like I am too good at it anyways but I try. and I have been sucking it up on been a co-admin (not sure if that's a word?) on the facebook page Young Military Love. I guess I need to try harder at a few things. But anyways GOOD NIGHT :D

Homecoming

I have been thinking about Cody coming home a lot lately. It is so close and it is completely insane. I haven't found shoes yet but I will figure it out in the next 2 months. I got a hitch put on my car for the Uhaul, I packed away all my long sleeved shirts and sweatshirts, and my mom is buying her plane ticket home from Cali. It is all just closing in and I am so excited yet worried at the same time. What if Cody comes home and the outfit I am wearing isn't what he expect, or what if I gained weight, or look different not in a good way. What if I am not the same person I was before I left, what is he's not the same person.  I am kinda freaked out but I know if I put it in God's hands it will all workout. I tried on my dress that I plan on wearing tonight and took a picture. As I looked in the mirror more my biggest worry was what if Cody doesn't like it. That is my biggest worry he hasn't seen me for 7 months and I want to make a good impression. BUT as my sister said as I was complaining to her about this issue Cody will like whatever I wear because he hasn't seen me for 7 months. I'm not just fishing for comments I am truly concerned about this and I will freak out about it unitl the second Cody gets off the bus and into my arms.
Anyways... here is a picture of my dress. Not very good but it is an idea of what it will look like. Still no shoes though.

I looks weird in this picture so I tried finding it on the American Eagle website and it is not on there for whatever stupid reason. So anyways this is my dress I am wearing when Cody comes home that I will freak out about for quite sometime.

The whole government shutdown thing isn't a big deal to me because I live at home and my mom yep my mommy pays for everything right now. If I needed that money to pay rent I might possibly be irrate right now.

Odie

so I am not exactly if this is something to be upset about but I need to vent. For my trip to North Carolina my dog Odie who I said before was my baby, went to my dad's house. My step mom just got a new cat and didn't want Odie because he would fluster the cat but my dad still said he could come over when I was in NC I calle my dad's house an asked one of my nieces if she was having fun playing with Odie an she said he wasn't there. since she is 4 I kept my cool and when my step mom got back on the phone aske if my dad would call me when he got home from church.
meanwhile, my mom called a guy who my dad works with and we suspected had my dog and he did have him an talked like he was going to keep him! I was so mad. when my dad finally did call me I asked about Odie and he said he played ball with him and he was behaving very well. He straight up LIED to me. I was furious, but with my "peacemaker" personality I didn't say anything and kept talking to him. my mom called my ad later and asked him and he even told my dad mom that he still had Odie. when I get home and pick Odie up I'm not sure how things will go with my dad. It frustrates me because Odie is like my kid as weird as it may be and I feel hurt that he would just boot my "kid" out because I know he would never do that to my nieces when they come over ALL the time. sorry I just needed to get that out it may seem stupid but ohh... well

On the other hand my vacation is going great I leave tomorrow to head back home.  I got a nice tan going on that I might need to touch up at the tanning salon at home before going to cali. I have my ress picked out I just need shoes, my mom said we were going shopping friday so hopefully I can fin the right ones. I'm thinking flats or those like egyptian sandals, because heels would be hard to run into Coy's arms in and flip flops would probably fall off so when I fin the right ones I will put pictures of my dress an shoes. One thing that sucked about vacation though was seeing all these marines around town makes me miss Cody a whole lot more. I got the onut of misery app on my phone an  it makes me so happy because I am so close to done with this deployment 9 weeks until graduation and heaing to california and soon after that Cody coming home.
Once again sorry for grammar I'm on my phone adn "D" is broken.

North Carolina, ready or not here I come

first off i want to say sorry for any spelling mistakes in this post because I am typing this on my phone since my laptop is packed for north carolina and my "D" button only works half the time. I am going to topsail island an islan close to camp lejeune/ geiger.  we went there the first time to visit Cody who was in ITB at Camp Geiger and absolutely love it. my mom, step dad, sister, sister's friend, two cousins and I are staying in a house right on the beach which we have stayed in before so we alreay know  what it is like. we leave tonight at 11 and I am so ready to get away from this town, go to a warmer area and relax. my next trip will be to california. wahoo I can't wait to move.

Phone Calls Are The Greatest and ABC

CODY CALLED! I'm so excited and it happened almost 24 hours ago. He stole the satellite phone and called me. I was so happy even though it was 4 in the morning just to hear his voice could have been the greatest thing in the world. He was in the greatest mood and so happy about what he was doing over there. He obviously couldn't talk about a lot of it but I know he is doing the "hardcore" stuff he has wanted to. I couldn't go back to sleep but I didn't care. The only thing that sucked is when he had to go he pretty much just hung up and didn't say he loved me but I know he does so it is all good. I can't wait for him to come home though. It seems like it has been forever yet again it seems like the time is really flying by. I have 29 days of actual school left which is absolutely amazing then graduation day (May 29) I have graduation, open house, then driving to California with my mommy. :D I'm so excited then like a day or two after I get there Cody will be there. Eckk... I'm so ecstatic that the end is near.

So, I stole this from It's Mrs. Haynes To You. I thought it was a good idea and I'm definitely bored waiting for the season finale of Teen Mom 2 to come on.

Is It June Yet?

There's not much to write about since I haven't talked to Cody in a while. I've been keeping busy with all the reports due at school, working the few hours I do, and slowly packing my stuff. I have about 10 weeks left and I can not wait. I want to move so bad, I want to be a wife and do stuff like cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry, and grocery shopping. I know it is crazy that I think that sounds like fun but I really am super duper excited.
I think my brain might be depleting. I can't remember things at all and I transpose numbers all the time in Math class. I feel kind of crazy but I think it might be stress between Cody being gone, school, and trying to make everyone here happy. Ohh... well life goes on and soon he will be home, school will be over, and I will be out of here. Sounds good to me I am so ready. 67% done with this deployment. :D

Little Things

I was just driving down the road and I drove past a place where Cody dodged a car then a sign (with his mad driving skills, see why he now drives a 14 ton vehicle) so we wouldn't get in a car accident and literally started laughing to myself. It is so crazy when I do that; I'll be in a restaurant or a store and see something that reminds me of Cody and I'll tell whoever I am with the whole story. I feel like people are getting bored with me always telling stories about Cody, but he is my whole life. I am kinda running out of stories since I haven't talked to him in a little over a week. This is just the start of this long mission and I am so ready for him to just get done and get over home. I want my snugglebug.

I have 80 days left of this deployment and I cannot wait for it to be over. I feel like it will go by a little faster here since I have senior trip week, then spring break, then about a month or so until graduation. The day after graduation I am off to California whether Cody is heading there or not. I will be waiting for him. It seems like it is going slow but yet fast. I don't know I am just so ready for this all to be over with. I get asked a lot from family if I am scared. Is it weird that I'm not? I just want to get out of here and do something else with my life, experience something other than a small town in Michigan. Hopefully the time starts ticking a little faster. 

Kickboxing

So I have been working out to get into shape for when Cody gets home. I want a Megan Fox body since Cody thinks she so hot.  Anyways, my lovely friend Veronica suggested after working out we stay for the kickboxing class. Sounds harmless right? ha The lady was 50-60 and was kicking butt. I couldn't even keep up with her or half the people in the class. I stood in the back of the room with the other newish people. I was doing a jump thing and the crazy lady came right in my face telling me that I could do it and to get my legs up higher. I felt like I was on Taebo but 10 times harder. Needless to say I quit after a half hour and my body ached so bad today, but I still went and did my normal workout.
Another issue is I've been wanting to eat healthier or to not necessarily lose weight but to not gain any, but haven't found a way to do so. I tried the Special K diet which I heard is bad for a long term diet due to lack of nutrition; I tried eating yogurt, fruit, and granola for breakfast and lunch then a good dinner but now the texture of yogurt makes me gag. Any suggestions?

5 Things I Didn't Know About Afghanistan

Okay, so I failed again at writing at a consistent pace. About 2 weeks ago we had a huge ice storm and lost power from Sunday night through Thursday. It was horrid to say the least, I had to find somewhere to take a shower every night, I still flipped light switches on and off as I walked in and out of the rooms. All I have to say is Thank God for Generators; they kept me sane. I bought a new computer with mine and Cody's tax return. It is a Macbook Pro and I am really happy with it, I originally bought a Macbook Air then when I got home realized it did not have a disk drive. Really? Why on earth you wouldn't put one on a computer still blows my mind. Anyways onto my topic of the day

5 Things I Didn't Know About Afghanistan Before The Deployment:

1. When you get a phone call it is only six digits. Ex: 801-436
2. It is actually cold there, people think it's a desert and it is always hot but Cody has called me shivering because of how cold it is
3. The Arabs try to buy African American Marines as slaves
4. They don't have daylight savings. I was awfully confused when Cody called and the difference in time was different than before. (9 1/2 hour difference after fall back; 8 1/2 after spring forward)
5. Camp Leatherneck does not have a Microwave. They have T.V., Computers, Xbox, PS3, and whatever else you can think of and no microwave. I don't know it's weird to me.

I just thought I would share some things that are a little crazy to me, if I think of any more I will be sure to add them. I just talked to Cody about a half an hour ago and it was so lovely to hear his voice and made me so happy until I had to get off the phone with him then it kind of made me depressed that I won't be able to talk to him for the next 2 months or so. On the bright side when he gets back from this mission he will be getting ready to pack up and come home. Yay! I'm so excited words can not describe. I can't wait to start my life with him, it seems like I've been waiting for it forever and now it is just months away. 13 weeks to be exactish :)
Ohh... Today I got a tattoo let me know what you think ;)  It's by my hip bone, sorry my phone sucks at taking pictures.

Epic Fail

Okay so I epically failed at blogging again. oppsss... I'm going to try a little harder this time.
So I got two calls from Cody today from the lovely Afghanistan. Lately he is so grumpy when he calls and I just want him to be happy to talk to me but I'm sure it's not me that makes him grumpy it's lack of sleep, dealing with people, stress, etc. but I'm the person who stresses themselves out way more than is neccesary. On the bright side I am half way through this deplyment 15 weeks to go which I am so excited about but lately I have been so depressed about Cody being gone. Crying, just not wanting to do ANYTHING, it is so crazy but I guess it's like climbing up the hill and I am now at the top working my way downhill. I don't have school tomorrow so Cody is going to call me one last time before he goes on another mission. The only thing different about this mission is it is the final one and it is going to last 2 months. Which of course means no more phone calls, no more contact until May/June. I'm so not ready for that.
Well I guess I can quit procastinating my Anatomy Project and get started.
P.S. Sorry for the bad english and grammar I'm too lazy to fix it :D
