Fall is in the air!

Hello all my wonderful bloggy friends! Fall is in the air!! These last few days in Virginia it has been in the high 60's during the day and maybe low 50's at night! I have totally cut off my AC! I think Fall is probably my favorite season. I enjoy wearing sweaters and hoodies and boots! not to mention super cute dresses with tights and boots! Another reason I like Fall being in the air is that it is another Season closer to my Hubs coming home! We still havn't had R&R but we are almost halfway through this dang deployment! WOOHOO! I have another appointment with my orthodontist this upcoming week, we will start getting measurments and impressions for the big surgery which is most likely going to be in November. Like I said in my last post, I am back in school! I am currently taking American Literature from the Civil War to Present, it's keeping me pretty busy as you can tell I havn't blogged in a LOOOONG time! This class is one of my last four classes before I get my associates in Public Health... THANK YOU COAST GUARD for paying for every bit of it!

I have some pretty exciting blog posts coming up! I have to blog about a giveaway that I won, the prize will be here this week, just in time for my birthday! I will probably be holding a giveaway with this company! So keep an eye out! By Friday I will have posted all about the giveaway I won and hopefully have information about how YOU can enter to win!

I also am so excited to blog about some AMAZING 8th graders and what they have done for my deployed husband and the guys that he is with! Keep an eye out for that! I am just waiting to get approval from their teacher to post the pictures they sent me :)!

Last but not least! I am being featured on Mystery Monday's by the lovely Suzanne at All Because Two People Fell in Love. Check her out to see what it's all about and if you are interested in being featured let her know! She just started Mystery Monday's!

1. If you could have a private concert with any singer, who would it be?  submitted by An Air Force Wife’s Blog

Haha, oh man! I am thinking of how to answer this question without having my hubbster mad at me lol. I know that if I answer Chris Young because he's my favorite right now, that my hubby is sick of hearing about Chris Young on my blog ;). In all reality though I think that I would probaby want a private concert from (not taking into account that the question doesn't say you can't choose someone who has already passed away) Conway Twitty! I love the old style country music and who better to have a private concert with!

2. Is there anything you do to supplement your family’s income? submitted by Our Life, One Adventure at a Time


I am also active duty military  (Coast Guard) so my husband and I both greatly contribute to our family's income!  My husband outranks... I am slowly catching up, but I still contribute and we live quite comfortably. Ask me again in a little over a year when my enlistment ends and I join my hubby in Hawaii!

3. During your pregnancy (whether past, present, or future), what did you nickname your unborn baby before you knew the sex? submitted by Explosions of Love
This would be the future for me and honestly I have no idea. I am sure my Hubby will want to nickname our unborn baby Chuck Norris or somthing silly like that... I guess that's why I love him! I will say that when one of my dear friends was pregnant with her little girl we nicknamed her unborn baby -Pod-. It was cute and catchy!

4. Have you ever won a blog giveaway?  If so what did you win? submitted by Mrs. O’s Life


I have never won a blog giveaway... I have never even entered a blog giveaway. I am still new to the blogosphere so I guess I need to start looking for these blog giveaways!!

5.  If I looked into your refrigerator right now, what would I find? submitted by Married to the Army


Right now since it's just me in the house, in my refrigerator you will find the following:
Fat free milk, gogurt, cheese, homemade sweet pickles, lots of fresh spinach, hotdogs, butter, and fresh asparagus. Pretty boring I know.

Friday Fill-In

Linking up with Wife of a Sailor for the MilSpouse Friday Fill-In!!

1. Does your Significant Other read your blog?  Why is this a good or a bad thing? submitted by Mrs. Alana’s Miscellany
Well, let me just say this... My husband is a "follower" of my blog, however I don't think he really reads it unless he is bored and has time to waste. He is deployed and I am sure he doesn't go looking for it, but if I post the link to my FB then he probably will read it :).

2. What is one item in your house that holds the most sentimental value and why? submitted by The Albrecht Squad
I think that the most sentimental item that I have in my house is probably a painting that my late grandmother painted. I am a Carolina girl and the painting is over a man resembleing that of Dale Earnhardt and his black lab. The sky in the background is a dusky orange and pink beauty. Growing up we always called it the Earnhardt Cowboy painting. Shortly after my Papa passed away in 2009 my mom asked me if I wanted one of Grandma's painting and I most definitley wanted the Earnhardt Cowboy! It hangs at the top of my stairs greeting me.

3. When it comes to water fun in the summer do you prefer the beach, the pool, a lake, or the sprinklers? submitted by The Turvo Times
When it comes to waterfun... I am a Coastal Carolina girl! Of the choices I would probably have to choose the Beach or a lake. However, I really love going out on the boat in the sound and fishing or tubing and knee boarding on a lake. I am in the Coast Guard so I guess it's just a natural for me to enjoy being around water and boating.

4. What is the one special thing that you do for yourself to get you through the first week of a deployment/separation? submitted by A Creed and a Psalm
This being our (the Hubby and I) second deployment since we have been together (3 years). I havn't really figured out what gets me through the first week. I think the first week I am still in shock that it is going to be so long before I see him again and that he is going to face danger on a daily basis. This deployment, the first week he was gone I was in Hawaii so I was able to spend time with some of the wives. Packing and getting everything ready to come back home was pretty much a distraction for me the first week so that I guess is what really got me through it.

5.  What is your biggest guilty pleasure website? submitted by Christine’s Little Blog
I guess my biggest guilty pleasure website would be... I know it's bad but... People of Walmart. I know I may catch flak for that being a guilty pleasure because some people believe that it just isn't right for people to take pictures of other's who aren't aware... yet I think if you walk out of your house like that... you are sometimes, not all the time, asking for it! My other guilty pleasure website that is tied with POW but starting to edge ahead is Damn You Auto Correct... Bahahahah I just can't get over some of the auto corrections and people not READING their texts before they press send. Literally I just spent the last 5 minutes trying to stop my giggling from reading some of the posts!!
