Air Force Recruiting: A Wife's Point of View

Bittersweet Joy

I'm not quite sure how tomorrow will go... so I don't know if I'll be around.

A year ago, I became an Aunt for the first time.
A year ago, my husband became an Uncle.
A year ago, my in law's became grandparents for a second time.
A year ago, a beautiful baby was born.

But-

A year ago, was one of the worst day's of my life.
A year ago, Dr. V took my baby.
A year ago, even though I know he was gone before, he was really gone.
A year ago, I cried on the way to the hospital for my D and C as my husband got a text message that his sister had just given birth.
A year ago, I didn't give a damn that she had a baby, I actually told my mother in law to stop sending me updates, because I really didn't care.
A year ago, I was really heartless to the nurses who tried to be so kind to me.
A year ago, I was hopeless, and angry, and sad.
A year ago, my husband wrote me a letter while I was in surgery, and it still makes me cry to this day.
He was the only one in the waiting room, I remember walking back to the pre-op area where they could get me ready. I looked back right before the door closed, and he looked so defeated.
A year ago, we lost our little Sea Monkey.

This is the last picture I have of him, his heart was beating strong... I still have it on my Blackberry.

Another Ornament Exchange

The Mrs. over at Trying Our Best, is also having an ornament swap. How fun! I love ornaments, but might have to get them sent to my neighbor... Pave thinks that 'we have enough'.... ha! You can NEVER have enough!

If you want to particpate in a 'Blog Secret Santa', go check it out right here! Sounds fun!!!

HOLY CRAP -- 100 already!

I can't believe that I'm at my 100th post already, though if Pave had to guess the number, I'm sure it would be in the thousands! He is convinced that all I do is blog, blog, blog.... (I guess the fact that I'm posting this at 10:42am on a Tuesday helps prove his point!). So this is it. my 100th post. Wow.

Hallowthanksmas

Or maybe Thankschrisween?

Or perhaps Merrygivingween would describe it better!

My funny mother in law made up the previous 'holidays' because I had made the comment on my face book that if someone walked in our house, they would get awfully confused. We made Halloween cookies and still had our "EEK" sign out. We also had our "Give Thanks" pumpkins out, and a Christmas tree in the corner of the kitchen.

We've since simplified, and decided to stick JUST with Christmas! Pave brought in all the Christmas totes last night, but he has a head cold today, so it's up to my step-daughter and I to get this house in order! Off to decorate!

Sesame Street

Growing up, we always watched Sesame Street. In fact, besides that and Mr. Rodgers, that was about all we were allowed to watch.

If you didn't know, Sesame Street just celebrated their 40th year, and as Google often does, they honored them with themed "Google Doodles". In case you missed them-

There were a couple more, but they were for characters that are only in other countries, so I just put up my favorites!

Also, one of my favorite websites, Cake Wrecks, posted a bunch of cakes that were (very bad) Sesame Street themed... If you don't read her regularly, you should! I often laugh so hard, especially at her comments!

Hope you enjoyed the brief walk down memory lane as much as I did!
