Friday Funnies

Friday Funny time! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!


I don't even like cats.




I concur



HAHA! What is this anyway?



We have all been there ;)





Be Thankful..

For who God brings into your life.

It is so hard being away from JB. I miss him so much. It's been 5 months since he has been home. Since he has even been on this side of the continent. 21 days since I have seen him, held him, kissed him, hugged him, cried for him. It's true what they say, you know. You never really know what you have until it's gone. I am, however, very thankful, beyond anything imaginable, that I get to hear his voice everyday. Even if only a few seconds. This is hard. I can't begin to imagine how hard it's going to be when he is deployed. It's definitely something I will have to get used to; not hearing his voice everyday. There are so many things I am worried about. First off, we aren't even married yet. Were getting married in June when he is home before he gets sent over seas to his duty station. I am worried my DEERS won't process quick enough to get me there. I am wanting to spend every minute with him I possibly can. I am a firm believer in "tomorrow is not promised so live for today."  So far, nothing seems to be going right but I guess that's the Army for you. I bought a book the other day. For understanding of the role of the wife married to the military, but for inspiration mostly. It's called Chicken Soup for the Military Wife's Soul. No, I am not a wife yet so this may not do me any good as far as understanding or inspiration if I keep this "glass half empty" outlook of it. I guess I would feel much better if I knew exact time frames of when things get done. I.e, you're DEERS is guaranteed to process ___ days after submission. Yea, I giggled there too. Nothing in the military is guaranteed. Nothing in LIFE is guaranteed. I just wish I knew something, ANYTHING really. I can't even plan our wedding and it's less than 2 months away. Why does this have to be so hard?

Running's Demise

With all of this time I have on my hands away from my Fiance, I have decided to not only start running again, but I have joined a gym. A 24 hour gym that happens to close at 6pm on Sunday, just FYI. Since I started running again, I have felt a lot better. (I am recovering from a sprained ankle. Stupid, stubborn me sprained my ankle and STILL ran 3 miles every day on it. Well, duh Tiffany, no wonder it wasn't getting any better. Word of advice for anyone who may lack intelligence such as myself, do not run on a sprained ankle. You won't be able to wear heels or run without pain for 2 weeks.) Anywho moving on. So, I figured if running can make me feel this great I wonder how great I will feel after joining a gym! Sore, sore is how I feel. Sore and tired yet addicted. Running 3 miles everyday isn't enough for me. Apparently, my body needs more. It thrives on how much I sweat, obviously. I feel like crap when I don't go. When I signed up, the gym offered me a one time free session with a trainer.  He kicked my butt. It was a easy 30 minute workout that had me feeling like I could do those moves all day...until the next day. I could barely walk and could forget about sitting down for 3 days! THREE DAYS! For someone who never goes horseback riding, you know the feeling the day after you go... that was me. If I sat down too long, forget about getting up fast or moving swiftly to the kitchen. Not happening. Not wanting to dwell on that subject very long, I go to the gym 7 days a week. I just started running again yesterday, after 2 weeks of being out of commission, running 6 miles. Surprisingly, my ankle only hurt AFTER I finished my run. Not the swollen, throbbing, turn Hulk into a care bear hurt but a tiny sting if I step wrong. I am really hoping this goes away soon. Maybe I should give it a few more days. *Tiffany, you're jumping your subject around again!* Back to the gym. I cannot afford a trainer so I watch people and very nonchalantly copy what they do. Kinda like the beginning of Bridesmaids =)

On another subject, the wedding date is still unknown. Please Uncle Sam, let me know something soon so we can plan our wedding! How awesome would it be if the military was more scheduled and allotted their soldiers enough time to know things! =)

Anywho, I'm sure I am boring you by now. Wish me luck as I try to figure out what the heck I am doing not only in the gym but in the army life!

I am sorry for the really long and boring post. Here, please accept this funny cat video as an appology!



Where Ever the Army Takes Me.

Well, maybe not so quick. I haven't posted in a while so I will try to hit the main highs. I flew out to Arizona a couple of weeks ago to visit the fiance. It was a very short weekend but I am thankful for the two days I was able to spend with him. He is so incredible and worth the wait.  Anywho, Arizona is completely different than Alabama in every way imaginable. It is absolutely beautiful! However, taxi rides are expensive as well as everything else and I felt like a fish out of water the whole time I was there! I have never been so thirsty in my life! The altitude is a lot different than here too. If you have ever been from sea level to 2,100+ you understand! My advice, Drink lots of water! Anyway, the shopping was a lot better than here too! There were so many stores (such as H & M) I had always wanted to visit but weren't local. Also, In-n-Out burger, is to die for! I don't think there is one east of Texas and I haven't been to one since my trip to Seattle last year when we stopped in LA on the way home. I love flying and better get well prepared because we found out our first duty station is in fact, over-seas! I am nervous, scared, excited, ect. I  do not know what to expect nor do I know what not to expect ( I hope that makes sense). I guess, if I can learn to keep this thing updated, I will keep you guys up to speed on our adventures!

On another note, the previously mentioned amazing fiance sent me a present. He is so wonderful. =)
