2006!

Wow, I can't believe that in a little over 5 hours it's going to be 2007! Where has the time gone...

I met Mike in October 2005 and Honestly when I saw him he took my breath away! I have NEVER believed in love at first sight but let me tell you, there was something about him....so I MADE sure we met that night....we had a rocky road at first.... BUT he was and has always been upfront and honest with me....He did NOT want a commitment...and then Feb 15th 2006 happened...the day he found out about his orders to Iraq. At that point all I could think of was...........Oh My God, I am going to lose the love of my life. Luckily WE decided to "try" to make a go of it. We knew it was going to be tough...(by the time he left we had only known each other 6 months).


Here we are 7+ months into the deployment and we are still together. We have had a few tough spots but for the most part it has been (I believe) the best thing for our relationship. It has given us the opportunity to be REAL friends...we have been able to talk about stuff that I'm not sure would have come up otherwise. I am truly hoping that 2007 will be OUR year.


Brady has started his life and I have never been prouder. He and Jess seem to be doing good. She will be moving out to CA after the new year. She won't be living with him, but will be closer to him so I think that is good. I know how hard a long distance relationship can be.....

I hope EVERY one has a VERY safe and Happy New Year!

Mike, I love you!!!!

Jingle Bell Jog 5k

I have been meaning to post this but I have been a little busy. Mike has been training with a personal trainer and because of his hard work and dedication he was able to complete the Jingle Bell Jog 5K. It was originally planned for the Saturday before Christmas but it had to be postponed because of really heavy fog. It was rescheduled for Tuesday. The good news is HE DID IT! and he did it 28:25! I am so proud of him! I know how hard he has been training. He lifts weights 4 times a week, does Hot Yoga, STEP, and does an hour on either the elliptical or treadmill. I can't wait to see him! He did send me a picture of who he says is responsible.

The woman in the picture is his personal trainer. He says she is the one that has gotten him to where he is today as far as his health and workout program.

Not much going on with me. I have been working out as well and I do feel a lot better. I unfortunately don't have a trainer who is able to give me as much attention as Mike's, but I was able to go to the base gym and talk with a trainer and he did give me a workout schedule.

I've been enjoying spending time with Brady & Jess. I swear they are the cutest couple. I know I say that all the time, but they are! I still haven't gotten a picture of them in front of the tree but they are on their way over here so maybe I will remember to do that tonight and I will be able to post it.

As far as my contract goes..........still have not heard who was awarded the contract BUT they did extend the existing one until the end of Jan....isn't the life a government contractor GREAT! Ya gotta love it!!!!

I hope all is well and everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I LOVE YOU MIKE!!!!

Nothing.....

much to say...Looking forward to "It's a Secret" countdown!

I LOVE YOU MIKE!

not sure when....

I'll be able to post again but I wanted to wish everyone a VERY Merry Christmas!

I will be leaving tomorrow for Delaware to spend Christmas with my family. It will be nice to be around people who I KNOW love me for me.

Brady & Jess are going with me so at least I don't have to drive up there by myself. It really isn't that bad of a drive, only 3 1/2 hours. Most times I like driving alone, it gives me time to reflect on my life but it will be nice to have Brady & Jess with me this time.

Well I still have to finish laundry and pack so we can leave as soon as I get off work.

Merry Christmas!!!!

I Love you Mike!
