Newest Photo Challenge Day 1

This would be the day that Alex and I met back in 1993. I know I have this in another album on here, but not every one has actually seen it. I feel in love with this guy that night and was heart broken when we broke up, but you know what. I don't mind waiting 13 years to be with him again because it has been very worth it. I am so excited that I can spend the rest of my life with him.

My Latest Blog Challenge

With my last challenge coming to a close I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for my next challenge. I don't have anything in particular to pick yet because I have no guidance on this one like I have had in the past 4 I believe now. I think with a really important day coming up soon for Alex and I am going to go ahead and start posting pictures of on here of through out our relationship. I have found pictures that a lot of our friends haven't seen in years that I think will be awesome for us to share with out friends and family of course. It isn't going to be long before he comes home and I am going to be posting pictures of that event.

This is what I am most excited about. I am so excited about being in his arms again and it will be here before all of us know it in the command. We all have our ways of how we are going to spend that first night they are home and I am going to keep mine to myself because it is a lot different from what I originally would want it to be. Alex and I have made big steps in our marriage since this separation and we are so excited to continue our lives here in VA Beach. Just remember OPSEC ladies because we have to keep our loved ones safe.

This is my external hard drive. I use this like a crazy person now because of all of the pictures that I am taking for a small business that I am putting together. learned the hard way with not having a back up with my job a week ago, so now every day I am backing up my computer especially now that I am getting busy with my photography. Heck maybe eventually I can do this full time and not have to work. You never know right. Here is hopeful thinking.

This is one of my favorite animals along with one of my favorite pictures. I have many favorite animals and I thought since this has two things that are my favorites in it I would choose this photo. I took this picture this past summer when I was at the Brookfield Zoo with Sam and her kids. I wish I could have known Sam the whole time that we lived in WI because she is a great person and I miss her a lot. I know I just have to remember that my true friends will be there for me no matter where I end up. It is hard to remember that sometimes, but if I keep that in the back of my mind I will be good.

I am not really sure what my favorite Holiday is any more. These last 5 1/2 months has really made me re-think what it might be any more. I think at this point in my life, I think any time of the year that I can spend every night with my hubby by my side is my favorite Holiday if not part of the year. Alex has always told me that when he is on deployment it is just another day and nothing more. I didn't know the reasoning behind this saying until just recently. This is now my 3rd Holiday that he hasn't been home for this year. I know all the other families in his command have been separated for a lot more, but it is different for me. My true friends know why it is different for me and again I can't thank them for all they have done for me this time of my life. Love you guys all and can't wait to bring Alex home so you can meet him. Pretty soon guys.

This makes me so happy. Alex made a promise to me awhile back that he would be home in time for the flowers to be blooming and to spend sometime looking at gorgeous flowers with me. I took this last week at the Botanical Gardens when I was there with Amber and Arianna. I just get teary eyed just thinking about this time of year because I am so close to seeing Alex again I can't help but cry tears of joy. Some really good days are approaching very soon and I can't wait for them to be here because it is just way too long. I love you baby and can't wait to be in your arms again.

I just saw this movie last night with Amber and boy was it hilarious. I am very fond of Tyler Perry's work and recommend any one that hasn't watched some of his movies to watch them. I know every family has at least part of these movies in their families. I have a pretty unique family in my life and I am so lucky to have them as my rock right now. You never know when you will not be able to get a chance to be with your family again, so I urge any one that might not be in good terms with their family to try to make amends with them now. Enjoy the movie because it will make you laugh like crazy.

I my camera would be the one thing that I would bring to a deserted island. I know memories last a lifetime, but you know what so does digital pictures. I have such an amazing husband that loves the hobbies that I do and is willing to give me whatever I need to do the best that I can for my newest love. I absolutely love taking the pictures that I have been able to with this camera of mine and can't wait to get more with Alex in them. The last 5 1/2 months I have taken pictures with it without Alex being around and I have lots show him when he gets back. I am hoping to start my newest scrapbook by the time he gets back and the clock is ticking, so I need to finish the other one that I have started already.

This picture was taken in NY. The person that I am referring to in this picture would be my sister Cyndy. She is a such a wonderful woman and is absolutely beautiful no matter what she might say. I love her to death and have been so lucky to have her support along with all my friends and family during the last 5 1/2 months here in VA. She has always told me that when I am having a rough time in my life, my true friends will be there for me no matter what. You know what, she is right. I love the fact that after 15 years we are finally living in the same time zone and we are both just a train ride away from each other if we needed to be there for each other. I love you big sis of mine and I can't wait to bring you to VA Beach for a visit.

This is my all time favorite Baseball Team and favorite sport in my life. I have always been a Dodger Fan and always will be one no matter what state we live in. Yes, we might not always have the best record in the game, but you know what I would never change my love for them. The main reason why I love the sport would be for the memories that I have playing it in the front yard with my brother David before he passed away. I might not have the best skills when it comes to playing sports, but this is one that I can watch for hours. Heck when I am at the games in person, I even keep score and that is one of the things that I love the most about it. Hopefully Alex and I will make it to a game this year. Here is to hoping.

This would be very similar to my dream car believe it or not. I am pretty found of the older models of the American Muscle Cars. This is a Dodge Dart and I grew up riding in one with my father back in CA. I miss driving in these cars because they show the history of American Made cars. Yes it was a gas hog, but you know what. I would rather get into an accident in this car than the ones they make today because they were made to survive wrecks and not be totaled in one hit. Hopefully one day Alex and I can get our dream cars and be able to drive and/or ride in them down the road.

This is where I have been a lot lately since we have been having absolutely gorgeous weather this week. Unfortunately it is supposed to start getting cold again for a few days, but heck I could be back in WI where they just got snow again a couple of days ago. I know I don't miss that whatsoever. This is one of the many places I can see Alex and I spending sometime when he is on leave very shortly here now.

Okay this is what my apartment on the outside looks like. This isn't mine exactly for a couple of reasons and for safety reasons I am not going to show you one of my place exactly. My apartment is on the lower level of this kind of set up. If you were to standing taking this picture, then my apartment would be on the flip side of this building. Even though it isn't my apartment, it looks like this entirely. I will eventually post pictures on here of our apartment, but not for awhile because I don't feel comfortable doing that right now.

GEN 4:23 And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sell: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.

GEN 4:24 Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.

GEN 4:25 Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.

GEN 4:26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.

GEN 5:1 This is the book of the generation of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him to the likeness of God.

GEN 5:2 He created them male and female; and blessed them: and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

GEN 5:3 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot a son to his own image and likeness, and called his name Seth.

I have to admit that both of these guys in this picture are not too bad at acting and also not that bad looking. I am really looking forward to this movie that this picture is from. I have really grown to like Action Packed Movies and from what I have seen in trailers for this one, it won't disappoint any one in my opinion. Yes people are probably thinking that these are way over done, but you know what I don't care. Nice looking guys and cars, what else can I girl ask for right.

This store is one of my many favorite stores to shop right now. I also do shop a couple of other places on a regular basis, but this is the one I do most often. I think the best part for us is that there is a Super Center opening up in walking distance of our apartment here in a couple of months. It makes it a lot easier especially since soon enough I will be needing to do a lot of walking to get places I needed to go when Alex comes back next month.

I know this might be getting really old for me to be saying, but this is what I miss the most in my life right now. I think the only place I would want to be right now would be in Alex's arms. We are so close to the end of this deployment that I can taste it and it is killing me every day it gets closer. I have so much to say to him that every time I talk to him on the phone all I want to do is cry because it is just so hard to say it in the little bit of time I have with him on the phone. This picture was taken right before we said our goodbyes back in January. To be honest with you, whenever I look at it I cry because I miss him so much. We are so close to being in each others arms that it is almost a dream.

This is my room. It is a collection of both my stuff and Alex's stuff. The favorite things that are in the room are the pictures that are on the wall. I would say the favorite part of it for Alex is the TV that is on the Animal Planet. There is a story behind that particular which is a pretty funny. We came here with a 19in TV but ended up a 32" instead.
