Which do you like better? I can't decide, but I'm leaning more towards the 1st one!

Hobby

About 2 months ago I was telling Kim how much I hated staying hom and not working because I was bored out of my mind!! She told me to get a hobby..Well I know a few people who do the digital scrap booking so I decided to join in the craze!! Here are a few I did I like the ones of my neices but Im not to sure about the one of the "swangers" but oh well. Enjoy...

My first night off post!!

I ditched out on the FRG, girls night out that I was so excited for and ventured off post with my new friends Val and Sigmond. They took us to a little Greek restrauant not to far from post here in Vilseck. I really enjoyed the food, I had this chicken in a wine sauce with potatoes and carrots....so good! It was just amazing!! I almost ordered something I knew I would like but they convinced me otherwise! So glad they did. Then we went into the bar/pool table area and had a few drinks while brandon and sig played pool. I had this drink called the pain killer and if it wasnt like 6 euro I could of had a million! I think I just liked the umbrella and frilly, sparkly thing that came with it! The only crappy part about German bars is they can smoke and I swear everyone in Germany smokes! Me being a non smoker will just have to deal with the cancer later!!! Damn smokers....but I would open the windows so I could breath and the stupid owner kept closing it! Any ways, after that we went to another bar...it was karokee night! Well, I had to pee really bad and I hate public bathrooms....but I REALLY had to go. The bathroom was down stairs, it looked like something straight out of the movie hostile! Scared the crap out of me!!! They didnt even have signs on the doors so you could tell which was which! After I did my buisness, I came out the bathroom and there was a condom dispenser, so I'm looking at it and theres a freaking "portable pussy" dispenser!! I couldn't believe it...Of course I had to know what it was so I forked out the 4 euro!! So damn expensive and bought one! HAHA...it was a plastic thing you blew up and you know they did there thing with it, it even came with personal lube!!! Oh my it was so funny. Brandon carried it around all night, I think he was really attached to it! Well after a few more drinks we headed back to post and went over to Vals house. Had a few more drinks and played some cards. Then we stumbled back home, the whole to buildings down! It was a fun night. We woke up this morning did some grocery shopping and then hung around the house. We went to our neighbors house played a few intense wii games and now we are back at home hanging out with each other! So far its been a great weekend!

I have to say I have really loved being here in Germany I have met some great people and just really been enjoying myself. I dont want to be one of those wives that no one wants to be around or who sits around and pouts about being away from friends and family. I plan on taking full advantage and enjoy myself no matter where we end up!

busy tones

I get very annoyed when people dont answer there phone! I mean I know people have lives outside of me and I don't expect them to jump when I call (but I defiently wouldn't mind if you did). But when you are trying to get a hold of someone and there phone is busy...that is a different story! I have been trying to call the health clinic all morning, to get my results, and it has been busy! I mean come on its the 21st century! Heard of call waiting, or an answering machine! You have a hundred different contact numbers and every single one is busy for the last 3 hours! It ridiculous! Thats all I had to complain about today!!!

Promotion, kids, and a girls night out!

I am very proud of my husband he was promoted, he is now an E-2! Although, he is still at the bottom of totem pole..he deserved it!!! He works hard everyday and I am super proud of him! He hasn't officially been able to put his patch on but he is being paid and has been told it will happen! honestly, the pay is the most important part lol :) He's happy and that makes me happy!! Also, my husband and I have decided we want to "try" for a baby!! Yay! I have had VERY irregular periods for as long as I can remember. I used to love the fact that I could go 3 months without it, I took it as a blessing! Well now, not so much, kind of need that to have a baby! So I went to the doctor to get something to regulate myself...the doc was very concerned and thinks I might not be ovulating at all! He came even more concerned when I said I haven't used birth control since I was 17/18 years old and that we used no kind of protection! He ordered blood test and sent my husband to get tested! Jeeze...what was supposed to be a quick trip to the doctors to help us get pregnant turned into a stressfull and nerve racking trip! I get my test results back tomorrow and Brandon went to get his "little guys" tested this morning. Hopefully, everything comes back good! Kids are so important to my husband and I would be devasted if I was the cause of him not have an offspring! On a happier note we are having a girls night out on Friday and I am really excited! I get to meet the rest of the spouses that I havent met yet. We are going to the tea garden in graf. Its a chinese restraunt...I ordered chinese one night and it was nothing like home! But I have heard good things about it and I'm excited just to get out of the house and hang out with some girls! Plus I can always stop by Burger King if I don't like the food! :)

4 day weekend!

Brandon had a 4 day weeekend this weekend, it was nice! Friday we had a BBQ at our neighbor Travis and Stephanies. They were really nice and it was good to hang out with people our age!! There was another couple there but I dont remember there names, they are PCSing so it doesnt really matter...Then Saturday we went shopping to try and find some blinds, well we got some...but of course they are the wring size!! Errr.....so annoying! Then we came home and cleaned house...figured out our dishwasher is broken and its not that I don't know how to use it. LOL! Yesterday we went bowling with Sarah and David and there kiddos..it was fun I sucked as usual. They had some dinner cooking in the crockpot at home so we came over had a few drinks and played RUMNIKUB!! Love that game! Now we are just sitting at home watching brothers in arms on dvd....having a relaxing day! I guess thats all I have to write about!!

What did I eat before bed?!

I had the WORST dream of my life last night! I even woke up with tears on my cheeks! It started out with Brandon getting some top secret mission to some school, not sute where at, and for some reason I was to go with! Anyways, there was this "guy" that glowed green, like he was radio active or something....well, he lived in a utility closet outside of the school. Apparently, they knew he was going to attack. So, after we got there they put the school on lock down while they got a strategy together on how to take him out. Well, this guy had like super strength and was shaking the whole school, like an earth quake (but couldnt break the school locks, to open the doors)! They were serving pizza or something, cause brandon HAD to go to the car to get dairy pills (hes lactose intolerant) and after a half hour or so...he didnt come back! Then the green glowing monster thing, who also must be very smart! Decided to stack the cars on top of eachother! Well, the army men being creative as they are tied long ropes together and then found a spear (maybe history classroom?) and tied it to then end! Then 2 men sacrificed themselves and swong out the window and stabbed him! Which, killed him! Apparently, army men dont have guns in my dreams! Anyway, the sergeant went in search of my husband and found him! Well, what was left....he had no legs and was blind! And the lady that broke the news to me all she said was it going to be had to have sex!!! What the hell!!! What did I eat, cause I NEVER want to eat it again!! It was terrible and scary! When they found him he had gotten distracted cause he found a young child that he rescued.
At least in my dreams hes still my hero. :)

I live really close to Mike Lake and there is this duck that must be lost or something! He quacks, every night around 10 and every morning around 5! But its not a normal quack, its a high pitch cry for help! I have yet to actually see this duck...but I know hes out there! He is VERY annoying and I wish he would hurry up and find his way home!

Grandpa

His surgery went smoothly! He eneded up only have a double bypass and a pace maker put in and it only was a 2 hour surgery rather than a 4 hour, which was expected! He is responding to the nurses and they are hoping to take the resperator out by the end of the day! I am so relieved!! I was up all night, waiting for my family to call me! Which, they didn't I ended up calling them VERY early (my time) this morning to make sure everything was good. Ah...what a relief...now I need a nap! LOL

German Food

Anyone that knows me, knows I absolutely hate change! So I knew (and everyone else knew) that moving to another country would be difficult! We had a lunch date with a couple we met here, David and Sarah, at a placed on posted called the "Katina". We went there for the weekly Monday special, chicken cour doun blue, but with my luck they were all out. So Brandon order me a schnitzel sandwich...it was pork (i think) on a really hard bun, with mayo, tomato, and lettuce. It wasn't too bad, I just couldnt really eat it! I have this odd fear of my teeth falling out if I eat things that are too tough, on the bone, or on the cob...so I kinda took a few bits and pushed it to the side! The fries were mighty delicous though! LOL!! Anyways, we are finally getting into a routine and I am starting to meet new people and enjoy myself. I have my first FRG meeting tomorrow and I have no idea what that even is, I was just told that I needed to go, so I am. I'm actually pretty nervous about the whole thing. I hate being in a group with a bunch of people I don't know! I'm sure I will be fine...hopefully. My Grandpa is in his surgery as I type! I really hope everything goes well...I will update you as I know more.

Germany

Wow! I haven't written on her in a while...Well, my passport ending up coming the Saturday before we left. So I was able to fly over and be with my husband, which made me extremely excited! We landed safely after a 9 hour flight, then went on to our 4 hour bus ride to Vilseck. We stayed in a hotel for about a week, which was SO boring, I had nothing to do all day since Brandon was working. But we got our house pretty quickly, and I keep hearing people we got REALLY lucky. Our house is a duplex 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath and fairly big! I will take it! I forgot how much I loved having my own place and living with Brandon. Once my stuff gets here I will be even happier.
We havent done a whole lot since we got here we went to Amberg, and Graffenwoehr this weekend. Probably wont leave the base again till I learn a little German! It was very stressful, we got lost and it was terrible trying to figure out where to go and how to get back on the correct train! But it was fun...just don't want to do it again!

In other news, my dad called me and told me my Grandpa is in the hospital. He was having chest pain and just to be safe he went to the hospital. He had an agioplasty, and they found 4 blockages in his heart. He is have a quadruple bypass surgery tomorrow. I'm having a hard time with this my grandma passed away a few months ago and I just can't handle loosing him too! Also, knowing that I'm so far away from him and can't be there when he wakes up suck too!

Okay, well I dont have a whole lot today I will update as soon as I start to "settle" in.
