Fun day looking for Waldo...

So I was at a friend's house tonight for a party and she brought out one of these "Where's Waldo Glitter Wands". Talk about addicting, challenging and frustrating! I decided I wanted to look them up to see how much it would cost, because they have had theirs for about 11 years...and the LOWEST price I found them for was starting bid at $50 on Ebay! Guess I'm not getting one of those, but it sure was fun! After a long time of searching with lower lights, brighter lights and an insane amount of eye-squinting...we found Waldo!!

Can YOU find him?

Horrible quality because I took it on my cellphone, but omg it is definitely harder than it looks to find him. I miss "Where's Waldo", and all of the other games I had as a kid- like "I Spy". I think my parents still have the I Spy books from when I was younger, I think I may have to ask them to send one of them to me so my daughter can play with it when she gets old enough!

One thing I really love about having a daughter is all of the memories it brings back from my childhood, especially the nostalgia of all the fun games I used to play, cartoons I used to watch, places I used to go...and she is turning ONE on November 2nd, then there is Christmas, so maybe I can spoil her with some fun old-time games and toys (that of course I will be playing with as well)!! :)

here's my liberty girl. she always makes me happy no matter what.

i really need to take a vacation. everything here is getting on my nerves so bad. and i need to take this vacation -alone. so no one fucking bothers me. just for a little while i dont want to be treated like i am 3 years old and dont/cant do anything for myself. im 24 yearsold and right now-7 weeks pregnant. deal with my fucking mood swings, they arent going anywhere any time soon. ugh.

wedding photos!!

i know nobody really reads this blog of mine..but ill write in it anyway.

so our professional photos came in the other day, after 6 months of waiting. its so exciting to look through them all again!

kinda wish we got the cd rom with all the photos on it- the photographer started doin that literally right after our wedding, which sucks.
all in all its been an alright day- drew and his uncle went to the pro bowl and his aunt and i went shopping...internet will finally be hooked up tomorrow!

the guy came today to install directv. management from the housing department had to come out becausetheres a friggin huge tree behind our house and he wasnt able to put the dish in our yard, he would have had to put it right outside the fence...and they said no. im so pissed off right now its not even funny. i dont even have words to describe the exact nature of my anger towards them right now. ugh. i need a drink. and its not even noon yet.

how do you show your support?

so ive had this bracelet since my husbands last deployment to afghanistan. they were giving them away at the deployment fair. i wore it for the entire duration of the deployment, that was origionally suppost to last 6 months and then in the end was extended to 9. to my surprise, he ended up getting home on our 1 year wedding anniversary! which was really exciting.
now his 5 year battalion enlistment is up for now, and we are currently stationed in pearl harbor, hawaii for his 3 year shore duty where he is working with public works. i am so proud of my seabee and of everything he has done so far. we have been through 3 deployments and for now we have a small break in the deployment regime. he still works hard as ever and i support him through it ever step of the way. deployment or no deployment- its still the military. he can still be called at any moment for anything...and im still here.
so i ask, no matter what branch of service, no matter which duty station, deployed or at home...how do you show your support?
