I'm torn....

My friend Carla is getting married in July, my sister is graduating high school in June of this year, and I want to go on a vacation with my husband at the end of July. I don't know what to do! If I go home to the states I can't go to the graduation and the wedding since they are over a month apart and I can't get that much time off. Whose heart do I break?? My sister or one of my best friends?!?! My husband and I had a last minute wedding and I didn't even have a wedding dress, so we have always wanted to go on a honeymoon and we want to go to Italy or France. We have been saving and finally have the money. So do I give up and put my honey moon on the back burner again? Oh man I don't know! I will feel guilty no matter what I choose! What would you do??

Hello, Hello....

It has been forever since I posted!!! Things have been crazy around here. School has been super busy, then I was trying to get a job, the weather has been super nice, and the best part is our stuff came!!! YAY no more cardboard bed....I also decided to have my car sent over here, so I have been studying for the drivers test so I can get my drivers license and drive it when it gets here!! Man, I miss my car. Well, other than that not much has been going on just working out and doing school. Last night I went out with Val and Sigmon and we decided to try Mexican food. It was really, really good. I was surprised since there was veggies in my enchiladas and only like 2 peices of meat and my chips and sour cream wasnt like home at all, but it was all really good!! We went to Loco's in Weiden...mmmm.....yummy! Oh my I almost forgot on our way home there were like seriously a million HUGE toads that looked like they wanted to lick our faces off!!! Then we I got home I was taking the dog out and a GIANT toad jumped at me and actually tried to lick my face off!! I screamed at the top of my lungs as it crushed one of my flowers in my garden that I just finished making pretty the other day. I made my husband stand in the door way till the dog was done! Let me make a list of all the things I miss from the states:

1. "Excuse me" I'm not saying we don't have rude people at home, after all I am from the Seattle area! But man are some of these Germans rude!

2. Tims Cascade jalapeno chips

3. Bug Spray...there are ants and flippen spiders every where!! Why can't I spray and kill them?

4. Being able to wash a large load of laundry

5. Being able to wash a large load of dishes

6. Driving my car!!

7. Being able to read a sign

8. Stopping for directions...I wish I spoke German

9. Being able to cross the street (walking) without fearing my life

10. Being yelled at by someone and understanding what the heck I did wrong

11. Not having to play charades everytime I need something and we can't understand eachother

12. Weed killer

I'm sure theres more but I can't think!! I will write a list of my loves later...I have ALOT of those. :) But I have a TON of homework to do!

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! :)
