Once again the ugly monster called bad timing hits. Instead of Matt leaving for his MONTH long training op april 30 and coming home june 2 he is now leaving may 4. That is right. Im in IL when he leaves for the field! How messed up is that? I am like never gone and now I will be gone when he leaves for 4 weeks. Talk about bad timing...
However, on a lighter note, the June training op might not happen which means he will be here for the birth which i would prefer over May, but that is still going to be one looong month for me. Hopefully I don't go crazy. Trigger is lucky he is inside for that month so he doesn't have to deal with a crazy mama yet. Also, Matt is starting to look into the different options available to him when he re-enlists in October. No matter wha he decides though it still means a very nice chunk of change called a bonus. Favorite word ever right now. We would be able to pay off credit cards, jeep wrangler plus money aside for baby. Sooooo helpful.
Third topic I want to write about: shopping. I never once thought I would be excited to go shopping for groceries or anything for the apartment. But every new thing or go to the grocery store for that trip where you replenish like everything is so much fun. I guess its just more proof that this apartment is in fact matt and my new home. The cabin it had everything we needed but it never really felt like "ours". So when we are buying stuff for our apartment now, it may be smaller but it is more ours then anything. If I had to say what our first real "home" was, I would say it was here in Oceanside. It is more ours then that cabin in the mountain. Its crazy and ecclectic like we are and everything in it, we picked out together as a couple (which in almost 9 months of marriage is still a novelty). And like every household there is one piece of furniture that the husband must have and the wife doesn't like (big screen tv in the previous post). All in all I feel more at home and content with my life here in Oceanside. All we need is baby to complete the picture.
