Big Bad Dog

So the hubby bought me a puppy before he left, as you can see in the pictures.

He's cute, and the love of my life (nothing against my husband ;) ) But guard dog he is not, haha. Moving into the apartment I was very excited, but if anyone comes in I sure hope I hear them because Bear is not going to let me know, he'll be too busy hiding.

We're currently working on a bark...

Aside from my puppy not wanting to grow up, there are thousands of wives left alone while their husbands are deployed. Nothing against the husbands left alone when their wives are gone, BUT. During this time women do seem to become "targets". Please do be aware of your surrounding at all times, do not go around announcing to everyone that your husband is gone and you are home alone. Simple things like yellow ribbons all over the yard, or any sign that he has been deployed screams "hey im alone". Even the "safest" of neighborhoods you should be careful of. Especially in military communities, it is all too common.

All im asking is stay safe :)

And if you have any tips or stories, please...do drop me a line through comments!

Coming live from my new apartment :)

Hello all, don't hate me...I know I have neglected my blog for a bit. Of course only for necessary time to move into the apartment. Which I definately don't ever want to have to do this again. This is only the 2nd time i've moved on my own. With the hubby being deployed, I don't have to experience the oh so frequent moving around that the military loves for their men and women to do.

Why is it such a hassle to get internet and cable, and WORKING internet and cable at that?!

I had it installed 2 days ago and the Rep said that the Ethernet cable wouldn't fit my computer? That was the oddest thing I had ever heard. It fit my Mac fine, but of course the Mac didn't want to work with me and my HP just wasn't having it.

But other than that, all is well.

Still waiting on my couches, I ordered them sometime last week...they're ETA is October 7th, I didn't know you should have to order them a month in advance, haha. I just want my apartment to look liveable, is that too much to ask?



Well, visit again soon...there will be more updates on the move.





Update on the hubby: He got his CAB (Combat Action Badge) ...

In a few words- OY VEY! Stressfull...

I'll hear all about it on R&R though, and of course give you the scoop...well, what I can of it :)

What i'd give for a nap!

Oh loyal followers how I love you... :)

Don't hate me for slacking on the blog entries, I do promise to be more interesting after the move. I'm very excited to say that I bought couches today! I bought them through AAFES too, with our Military Star Card. They're very nice, should be at the apartment in a few days.

If you don't have a Military Star Card you should get one, it's nice when you don't want to spend too much and don't want to pay taxes ;)

They even have good sales from time to time. Although, I wish I was closer to a base so I could actually shop there as opposed to online where I'm still paying shipping and handling.

Also, they have a new Military Star Card through Chase so you can use it off post! Very convenient.
