excitement!

 

sweet Katie letting me play hair and make-up with much patience!

Just wanted to share what it feels like knowing I will have my husband back in less than 24 hours...YIPPEE!!!  I have butterfly's in my tummy and I am full of pure excitement.  I miss him so much when he is gone but am always thrilled to have him back.  I have been playing wedding with a girl friend out here.  She and her fiance have a similar story to Justin and I.  Knew each other in childhood, dated in high school, remained friends, started dating again a year ago.  They are having a fast engagement/wedding (three weeks) so much fun for me!  We went dress shopping and having dress up and slumber parties.  The girls out here are such an invaluable support!  

row row row your boat!

 

 wow how time flies... I don't even know what has happened since I last posted!  I'm still working at Banana Republic mostly enjoying it.  I've started volunteering at a school which is great fun!  Justin is on and off the boat for training.  We had a great time exploring the ship, it was a super adventure!  Justin had a great birthday and we had a fun filled valentines weekend as well.  The picture in the dress with planes was my valentine present.  One weekend that Justin was gone I went with my friend Melissa to Las Vegas for a George Strait and Reba concert.  What a blast!!!   Pray for Justin's safety with all this flying.  I know he is having a blast serving our country and I am so proud!  The grainy pictures are the boat, Justin's room, and other things that I thought interesting!  Oh and the flowers and produce are from the CSA (community supported agriculture) it is a local organic farm that does delivery service.  We signed up for bi-weekly.  We did it to make us eat more fruits and veggies.  Not working very well so far!  Keep trying...I am loving San Diego, God Bless

my birthday at George's

I know I say this every month but I can't believe how much I've neglected my blogging...We had a wonderful Christmas with our families. It was bittersweet; first having to leave and second that we wouldn't be back in our home town together until next Christmas. So we've officially made it a year. I have to say marriage is a roller-coaster. Wonderful highs and learning lows. It is simply thrilling. I am already getting emotional over the thought of deployment. He left at the beginning of January for a week, it made reality set in...he will leave. Starting in February we have a few days together then weeks apart until deployment. I am trying to cherish every moment. I was so excited to have my parents and brother come and visit. We adventured (as you will see by the photos) I miss all my friends near and far...if you read this, please come visit someday soon! Last random note it is raining in San Diego and the entire town is falling apart! ha ha take these people to Mississippi and see how they fare. all my love xoxo

Christmas at the Pitcock's

Just wanted to put up some pictures of our Christmas home! Justin has the ceremony where he gets his call sign tomorrow, we also have chili we are submitting in the squadron chili cook-off. Should be an exciting start to our weekend!
