The closer it gets...

the more "real" it gets. Tomorrow is the day we have been waiting on for almost a year now. The feelings are pretty easy to explain because right now I have every feeling there is. I am really excited and I am really sad, i guess those would be the easiest to pin point. Today is the first day that i have thought about all the sad things, like tonight is our "last" dinner at home, tomorrow is my "last" time waking up with him next to me. Lots of stuff!

We had such a good week. since i wrote last we both went over to mamaws to spend some time with her and Peighton. It was so fun watching Peighton play, she is talking so much now. Mamaw was so sweet, she loved on Eric just like she loves on me. When we were leaving Eric and I could both tell that she didnt want to let go.



Another night we decided last minute to have a poker night, none other than yours truly one first and second place ;)

We went out to lunch with mamaw, papaw and aunt kathy to Hickory tavern. It was really good to spend some time with them. After lunch we went to see momma and alis house. ITS PERFECT!!! We both liked it a lot. momma got lots of new furniture and decorated really pretty, as usual! Im really upset about this but I left my camera at home that day on accident :(

Friday night we went over to Frank and Lindas for an awesome dinner. After dinner we played a really fun game with them, I was the only one who didnt win a round...boo! It wasnt the last time Eric saw them or will see them but i took a picture anyway!

Saturday we had Savannah Danny Waylon and Jeff over for a special "best friend dinner" We had sooooo much fun. We ate ceaser salad, steak, baked potatoes, Mac n cheese and garlic bread. for dessert we had peanut butter cookies!! It was a lot of food but we had to go all out ;) Once again no pictures from that night. Waylon is crawling around everywhere. We told Eric that waylon will be running around the house when he gets back!

Biscuit is really sick. We switched their food (gradually) about two weeks ago and he did fine at first. Macy was the one that got sick. Now Macy is fine and Biscuit is horrible. this is the first time that ive seen biscuit miserable and its not fun :( we decided to take him to the vet today. They gave him some antibiotics and some medicine to stop the diarrea. We have to give him the diarrea meds everytime he goes and we are almost out!! ughhhh!!! I hope he is feeling better by tomorrow. I would hate for Biscuits daddy to leave when he is so sick.

We just finished eating dinner (our last dinner :( ) I made Erics favorite! salsa chicken over rice! It was delicious! (if i do say so myself)

last week

This week has been such a good week. I took the week off to spend time with Eric before he goes, and thats exactly what i've done. We had Erics party on saturday night at the Trefils house. We had such a good turn out and as always, a great time!! A few of us helps Arlene by bringing food and a lot of people brought Eric drinks. We played a lot of cornhole and mingled all night. Melissa (jeffs sister) made posters for Eric, i thought that was a really sweet idea.







Here is a couple more pictures from that night...







Sunday i went to Caidens 2nd birthday party, I can not believe he is two already.
Two years old and a huge hand full ;)


Monday we just laid around then had date night at olive garden!! yummy!!!

Today we went to the recruiters office to fill out MOOOOORRRREEE papers! The most exciting part of today for me was finding out Erics graduation date which is....AUGUST 27TH!! which means my hubby will be home for my birthday! wooooohooooo!(is that selfish? ;) )Today we finally went to Bed bath and Beyond to get new slip covers and pillows for out couch and love seat. This is a big deal to me because i hated the colors of our couches. Dont mind the blank walls, im working on it :)



Tonight we had my daddy and Suzanne over for dinner so they could see Eric. We had a really good dinner with them and enjoyed showing them our new house!


We have no plans for tomorrow, we may go see mamaw and Peighton for a little bit though. Thursday we are going to hickory tavern with mamaw, papaw, aunt kathy and sam..unfortunately uncle dale and jordan both have to work. After lunch with them we are going to go see momma and alis new house...FINALLY!!! I cant wait to see it and spend some time with them! Friday night we are having dinner over at Frank and Lindas, we are actually going over early because i already need an oil change...whoops! No plans for Saturday and Sunday yet but i know they will be filled up! :)

Good times.

10 days. It finally set in today that my husband is leaving (not that i was waiting for it, i was actually dreading this) This week has been a fun week. Tuesday night we went out to dinner with Jeff to TGIFs. One of my clients came in on Tuesday and handed me a 50 dollar gift card to TGIFs and asked me to thank him for her. I thought that was so thoughtful and so sweet! We had a really good dinner. Jeff and I, along with Jeffs parents, are planning a party (i refuse to call it a "going away party") for eric this saturday...it is going to be so much fun. Wednesday after work I went over to Jacques brothers house for his birthday cookout. I am so thankful to know that family (thats Olivias family) i feel so welcomed there and have so much fun! After his party Eric and I met some friends at Macs to have a drink and watch a cornhole tournament. Anthony Cintron was up there, it was good to hang out with him we have so much fun with him...and NEVER stop laughing.

I guess something happened over night last night because i woke up this morning with all new feelings. Not good feelings. I dont remember dreaming about anything, but I definitely woke up crying. It really has set in now. I called Tonya on the way to work, shes really good at telling me to dry it up and remember this will make Eric happy ;) once i got to work and started doing clients I got better. One thing they taught us at school is to fake it when necessary. I do, and it works. So with the distractions at work the day went better. We had our first taco night tonight, Eric said it was really good! (you have no idea how happy i am. lol) after dinner i called and invited my daddy and suzanne over for dinner next tuesday and all daddy had to say is "how are yall doing?" and i lost it. Eric has been really supportive and loving when i get upset and its such a good feeling to know he gets it. I really do have a good husband.

Erics recruiter is coming over to our house Monday night to talk to us about boot camp. He is giving me the address to where Eric will be. It will also be the address where we will send letters to, so i will pass that along as soon as i get it. (kind of official right?) :/

Macy and Biscuit got spoiled rotten today. Eric went to a new pet store in Ballantyne and came home with new food and some real raw meat that will be used a snacks or treats (apparently its good for them) they absolutely love it!! They also got a new toy that squeaks, Macy went to town on it!!!

My next post will be after Erics party and I promise to have lots of pictures!

Starting here...

We got home from Huntsville today. We had a great time. Kelly and Garet are both doing really good. Their house is so cute and the town is awesome. We spent a lot of quality time together which was much needed. Eric is leaving 14 days from today. Bummer. So we talked a lot about the marines, boot camp, california and watched some videos on what all he will be doing. Im not really sure how it makes other people feel (such as family) to talk details but for me i want to know. We watch movies all the time and talk about it often. Some movies i dont make it through without saying "eric WILL NOT be doing this". It just makes me feel better. Ive done really good (i think) dealing with everything, but watching Kelly tell Eric bye today was not easy. it actually sucked. Funny story though, we were discussing the food that they will give eric during "the crucible", which is his very last test to pass to graduate boot camp, and Garet had some of it. haha. It comes in a pouch and it had beef stew, crackers, coffee, hot sauce, a hoo-rah bar, and some condiments...It looks awful. Somehow he will have to heat water up and add it to the beef stew (assuming he gets the beef stew pouch) As gross as it sounds, Eric seems pretty excited about it. HE'S EXCITED ABOUT ALL OF IT!! that makes it soooo much easier for me. Kelly looks awesome. She seems to be feeling good and Colins room should be coming together very soon (thats the babys name, Colin Davis Beane). Eric and Garet moved the bed out of his room so they can paint and start moving furniture in. We got to see the bedding for the crib and its perfect. I cant wait to see it all together and most of all to meet him!! I didnt take any pictures in Alabama :( when kelly sends hers to me i will post some.

Im imagining that these next two weeks will be CRAZY! We have a lot of people to see and some things to do around the house, such as teach me how to start the lawn mower...grrrreat. We havent spent any of our bed bath and beyond gift cards so i am hoping that while im off next week we can get couch covers and curtains for our windows :) thats fun stuff!! Momma moved in to her house this weekend, I cant wait to go see it! and her and sissy :) :) I guess this is enough rambling for my first blog. Until next time...

Love Always.
