The end of an era!

So this weekend I was very excited because Freddie and I went to see Harry Potter!! (I liked this movie very much by the way. Others may have their opinions, so I think that I am fully entitled to mine!) It was very bittersweet for me...I was super excited to see the movie, but was sad because it was the last installment of the series. But, I guess all good things must come to an end...boo to whoever came up with that phrase! In other news we will most likely be living here for at least another year...boo to that too! Oh well though...I guess once I finish my Bachelors, which will be at the end of December, then I can go on to get my Masters!!! When I told Freddie about my great idea he looked at me with a 'you've got to be kidding me' look...to which I responded nope!! I think I'm going to finally get my personal trainer's certification, and work on my Masters while we're stuck here for a little longer. That way I'll be able to work and do school stuff at the same time( what a concept eh?!)! I think it's a great idea because whenever we do move then hopefully I'll be COMPLETELY done with school, and will be able to get a fantabulous job doing something I love...that's the dream anyway. Oh...I forgot to tell y'all what I plan on getting my Masters in...well Nutrition and Wellness!! I know some of you are smiling right now because you all know how much I LOVE sweets, but there is nothing that says you can't have a sweet tooth and be a nutritionist! Right?! So that is what's going on right now...Next week there will be more homeworking and working out...I'm totally pumped about classes this next week too! Ash and I went to pilates and zumba the other night and got a crazy good workout in! So that's the plan...homework and workout...yep. Anywho...have a wonderful week folks!!

Diesel Mac

So on July 8th Diesel Mac turned 4!! I can't believe my big guy is 4 years old!! It seems like just yesterday we got him...

How can you NOT love this face?!

He was quickly dubbed a Steelers fan...he's a mama's boy for sure :)

He then got a little brother...whom he loves dearly!!

And here's my big man now...

So many of my friends have kids...well here's one of my "kids". I love him more than anyone could know, and I know that seems silly because he's a dog, but he's mine. Diesel is family and I love him to death. He has kept me company through Freddie's many TDY's and deployments, gave me kisses when I've cried, and laid with me when I've been sick. He's one of my best friends, and my life would be empty without him in it. Happy Birthday Diesel Mac! I love you!!

The meaning of frustration

Frustration: the feeling of being upset or annoyed esp. because of inability to change or achieve something.

This was the dictionary's definition of frustration...and that is exactly how I am feeling...I have been on the phone/chat with my STUPID school since 9 AM!! I have been trying to get them to lift a hold off of my account that should have been lifted a couple of days ago, but wasn't because THEY messed something up...so what happens?! I pay for their stupid mistakes!! I don't think I've ever been so frustrated with a school before in my life!! I've done everything and talked to everyone that I could, and yet somehow no one can do ANYTHING! I just have to sit and wait...annoying. So while I'm sitting and waiting on my uber annoying school I'm going to do some reading...

I'm reading The Shack right now...for those of you who haven't read it it's pretty good. I just got through the most sad and heart wrenching part of the book...well at least what I know of so far...and I'm still into it. So off I go to read some more since I won't be reading any textbooks any time soon...ugh!

Hope you're all having a better day than me!!

Post 4th

So I hope EVERYONE had a wonderful 4th of July!! I can't believe our country is 235 years old! Pretty crazy...I wonder what the founding fathers would think of our country now...hmmm

Anyway, Freddie and I drove to FL with the boys for the weekend and had a wonderful time!! We went to the beach, rode bikes down to a fun little bar by the beach (even though it was only a mile and a half, and dark out, it was super hot and humid!) and went to watch fireworks on the beach!

I tried to take this pic with my iphone while at the beach...tried to get fireworks in the background, but it didn't work out that way!! Oh well!

It was tons of fun though to be able to sit by the water, hear the waves crash, and watch fireworks with my main squeeze! I love it when he's home for holidays...it makes them even more special!! People outside the military tend to take holidays...even every day that their spouse can come home from his/her 9-5 job for granted...I am super happy just for the fact that he GETS to be home on a holiday, and every other regular day...

Other than that we just hung out for the weekend and relaxed...OH!! I forgot to mention that after a very stressful month last month...Freddie is now a Jump Master!! I would let him check my chute any day ;) I cannot express how proud I am of him for this huge accomplishment!! He worked so hard, and he made it happen!! 

In other news- I have started school...again...four classes this semester (aka 8 weeks), four classes next semester (sept-oct.) and then two classes in nov-dec and I'm DONE!! It's craziness...I will finally have a degree after Christmas...Although it seems that my school is doing everything possible to make it IMPOSSIBLE for me to finish...they throw every obstacle at me that they can think of I swear...I feel as though I am continually fighting them just to finish...It's alright though...I'm a fighter...and I don't like to lose :) Other than that not much else going on! I hope everyone has a fantastic day!! 

Muito Amor.

Success!!

Success is mine!! For the first time in my LOOOOONNNNGGGG collegiate career I have achieved ALL A's in my classes!! I realize that this may seem like a small victory to some, but this is HUGE! Super excited if you can not already tell...and if this makes me a bit of a nerd, so be it! Any who...in other news Freddie and I have gone to see two movies in the past two days...Transformers and Cars! Transformers was stinkin amazing!! Sooo much better than the second one, and probably just as good as the first one! Cars was great too! Mator was his lovable self as always, and it was just a good sweet movie. The kids in the theater loved it! There were tons of oooo's and ahhhh's, giggles and clapping from the tiny peanut gallery that surrounded the few adults that were in the movie. Just hearing the kids laugh made the movie that much better. Other than that there have been errand runs, frisbee throwing (for Guns of course), and mindless driving through this amazing town of Valdosta. Tomorrow we're off to Florida for the 4th! Not sure how much I'll be writing until after the holiday, so HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!! Have a cracking and popping (get it? like the sounds fireworks make? hehe) good time with the family, friends and fireworks!!
