Hello friends and family!!

So i'm not great at the whole writing every week thing..haha! So, I will just write whenever I have the time..or something exciting to write about ;)

The last couple of weeks have been eventful to say the least. I have not been feeling great, and the last couple of weeks have been a bit more difficult with Matt working all the time. BUT, I have decided to do something about all this not feeling well nonsense!! This evening, my friend Kailee and I went to a Zumba class at the gym on base..that was lots of fun! We are planning on going to those classes twice a week. And, tomorrow I start seeing a personal trainer twice a week!! Yay!!

This Wednesday, Kailee and I are going to a spouse orientation on base. It's basically a class to teach new Air Force wives how to cope with being a new military wife. I am super excited, because it is going to be a great place to meet other wives! Not to mention that I could definitely use some help in getting to know all the military rules and slang.

One other exciting thing that has happened in the last two weeks...WE GOT A NEW CAR!!! :) Pictures will be up next week!! (only because Matt has all of them on his phone)

Well, I know this post wasn't too terribly exciting, but that's all for now!!

Till next time!

So, Sorry I was off the grid for a while...our stuff from Cali FINALLY showed up at our doorstep last week! We were SO excited that we immediately started decorating our new home! We hung wedding decorations and I made Matthew hang curtains (which he was thrilled about) in the living room and our bedroom. Our new house is finally starting to look like a home!

The one downside to all of this happening so quickly is that our apartment is a mess, and the our guest room is housing the boxes full of items we couldn't seem to find room for. BUT, we did get the guest bed set up, so that our guests will at least have a place to sleep!

So, even though our little apartment is still under construction, the one spot in the house that is finished is beautiful..well at least I think it is :) hehe!

So this, is the little nook in our apartment that is actually finished. I absolutely LOVE it! I personally think it turned out so incredibly cute! It has all the pictures of our family members, and a couple pictures of Matt's momma up in heaven. We got this little red chest at Target, and it was my favorite buy of the week! We had searched everywhere for something red to put there, and we couldn't find a single thing!! Frustrated and annoyed, we decided to give up..then we stumbled upon this gem!

Well anyways, until next week!!

My cuddle buddy

So, the minute I got here I immediately told Matt that we were getting a cat. He quickly gave in to my request and we made our way (through the snow) to the local Haven Humane. And this is what we brought home with us...

His name is Oliver..though we call him "Little Man" or "Bubba" most often. He spent his first week home with us behind the toilet in the bathroom, and refused to come out. After a week of this I thought I was going to go crazy!! I was trying everything I could to coax him out from behind the potty, but he was not having it! So I got fed up and said "Matt, we have to take him back!!" and as soon as that came out from my mouth he ventured out from the bathroom. He knew I meant business ;)

Now that we have gotten to know each other,  he is my lil' buddy. He sleeps with my on my days off, and finds his way onto my lap when we're watching t.v. before bed. Matt says he's a mamma's boy...well, I won't complain! He's learned what he needs to do to get our attention(especially in the middle of the night) and cries VERY loudly when we ignore him. But, non the less, I love him!
