I wish I could share this bit of new with all of you ladies but I just cannot afford for certain people to see it prior to coming and visiting us this weekend! I know a couple of you already know what it is! Hmmm... Maybe a hint would be nice?
Hint #1: I commented on Expat Girl's blog a little bit ago. I believe it was her post with all the gorgeous dresses. She left a comment on my previous post. Go check her out and see if you can figure it out!
Remember, TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED INFORMATION!!! So keep your comments very inconspicuous! haha.

Vent I suppose
You don't have to read this if you don't want to. Idk where I am going to go with it but here I go.
I have been slightly bummed lately about not having a bachelors degree in anything. I REALLY want to get my degree for occupational therapy but as I mentioned before the problems are that UNCW is about an hour or more from my house and you can't take that degree online. It's not like I'm not working. I have a job that I actually like a lot. There are a couple main problems with my job though. I get paid under the table. Yea that mean it's untaxed money but it also means that I only get paid on Fridays if my bosses are in the office on Friday AND remember to get cash out of the bank. Also, I get $8 an hr and only work 30 hours at most. Some weeks I only work like 5 hours for one agent and the full 10 for the other 2 so I don't even make as much.
I am not the type of person to demand things or to really even voice my opinion to my bosses or people who let's say, intimidate me. My job consists of doing A LOT. I have to communicate with clients, buyers and sellers, their agents, builders, attorneys, surveyors, designers, fill out contracts and make sure they are signed by everyone and that they get to the places they need to be. I take listings and input them into the MLS's online so that people can view the houses. I have to keep those up to date with current information as well as making sure all the contact information is correct and that appointments for showings are set. Which also means I have to set up codes for lock boxes when people need to enter a house. I also create flyers for houses which is not as easy as it sounds. They are very particular and literally expect professional quality. I have to make sure closings are set and make sure everyone knows when and where to be. All while being a personal assistant in any other way you can imagine.
Did I mention that I do all of this for 3 Real Estate Agents?? So I do all of this 3 times!!! Let's just say my day planner is my best friend and my email and phone are absolute necessities.
Anyways, the point of that wasn't to complain. I love being busy and high speed. I just think that I should be getting paid way more than $8 an hr and I definitely should get 30 hours no matter what. It should be their job to utilize me not my job to make sure I get 10 hours out of them. I don't just sit behind a desk and type or talk on the phone. I also have to do errands like sign changes or going to open houses. I honestly think I should be making more around $12-$15 an hour. I believe that is reasonable for the amount of work I have to do and the fact that I am on call for them 24/7.
The problem is I really don't have the balls (for lack of a better phrase) to say anything to them. I at the absolute least would like to be paid on time every week. I hate worrying about being able to pay my bills because I don't know who is going to be in the office with cash or not. It's very stressful.
This is why I want to get my degree. I would make a ton more and have a salary which means steady paychecks. The problem is I can't not work. We need the money. I don't know what to do.
Thanks for listening if you made it this far. You're awesome.
Super vent over.

Today.
Today Mr. Sykes and I are going to the beach!! I loooooove the beach. I realize that I have been absolutely awful at adding pictures to my blogs so I will try harder to get better again. It would help if I had that beautiful new camera ;-) haha.
Enjoy your days ladies!!

To all my lovely bloggers:
If you have a button for your blog and you would like to be featured as a blogger on the side of my blog then please leave your button in a comment so I can add you to my page! I would love for people who are reading my blog to read the blogs that I read so I figured this is a great way to get all of you lovely blogging ladies some action as well :-)
Thanks loves<3
If you can't post it in my comments then you can just let me know you have one and I'll go to your page and snag it:-)

Ahhhh, Friday.
Today is the day I wait all week for. I am praying that my work day goes by super fast and that Mr. Sykes gets out of work on time or maybe even early. We want to go see Grown Ups but we are not late show people. Actually, I really can't wait until tomorrow. We are going to the beach :-) I absolutely LOOOOOVEEEE going to the beach. It's so calming and you can't help but feel good. Well, for the first hour or so. Then the sand starts to be a pain in the butt and you realize that the ocean floor and beach should be made of something a little less annoying. You go in the ocean to wash it off but the ocean has it's own annoying texture. Blahhh. There is no going around it.
Hopefully this weekend Nicole from Flip Flops and Combat Boots and I will be double dating at some point. Maybe triple dating if we can get Katie from Diary of a Disgruntled Marine Girlfriend and her lover boy Frank to join us. OMG! Ladies pleaseeeeeee can we?? That would be super amazing.
Am I a bad person for it being past 5 months since our wedding and I still haven't sent thank you's out? I feel awful but holy cow time flies. There is a little old lady from home who gave us this really pretty antique either ash tray or relish dish. She is really old so she is really old fashioned and Mr Syke's Grandmother constantly has to remind us to send her a thank you note because she is getting all fussy! It's not like we are ungrateful. We just are very forgetful. One of these days I am going to sit down and write everyone a thank you. Until then, I am writing the little old lady one because I don't want to keep disappointing her when she goes to her mailbox!
Anyways, this weekend is a super duper special one. I just realized that we can have a quadruple date!!! Anna from Showtimes and Dog Tags will be coming down this weekend!! FINALLY!!! Let me tell you, we have been planning this very moment since the boys went to boot camp. Her, Angela and I have been planning how awesome it would be if all our men got stationed at the same base, preferably Lejeune, and well 2 out of 3 we got it! Unfortunately Angela's knucklehead of a Marine fiance broke off the engagement and relationship all together. I think he just needs time to be a marine or something. Sooooo angry at him BUTTTT, luckily Angela only lives a couple hours away! We are all going to be in the same state. Woohoo!! From my birthday weekend I happen to now know that there is a fantastic seafood place in Angela's town so if seeing her isn't enough of an incentive then that seafood sure will help! haha.
Gotta go. It's working time!
I Love You Mr. Sykes<3

I have been so sick lately. I have constant migraines and I feel exhausted and have no energy all the time. It's horrible. I just want to feel better :-( I had to get blood work done on Monday and I still haven't gotten any results back. I am so impatient when it comes to me being sick. I can't stand feeling awful. I just want to cry :-(

Anyone want to buy me a camera?
I want a Canon Rebel xsi DSLR camera sooooo badly. They don't sell it at Best buy and I don't know if they are talking of discontinuing it or what. The xti is the next one up and the only difference is video capability. I don't know if that is appealing or not but that is the one they are selling still at best buy. I am so sad that it's so expensive. All I want is to take really pretty pictures! Gosh.
One day I'll get it. Eventually haha.

Birthday and fathers day.
Yesterday was my birthday and today is fathers day. You can guess where this post is going.
So lets start with my bday. My husband surprised me with a trip through Europe!! We went to France, England, Italy, Germany and Rome!! Before you get all jealous let me explain. He surprised me with a trip to Busch Gardens in Virginia!! They have their park set up like all different countries around the world. It was pretty awesome. They have some amazing roller coasters and food there. We saw bald eagles and wolves, oh and butterflies. Haha. Another thing we saw was a TON of boots. By boots I assume you know I mean marines straight out of boot camp. The park is right next to a navy base so we expected some military men but not a bunch of boots. When I say boots I am talking marine paraphernalia everywhere possible. It was like they were screaming to the world that they were marines. I get it, be proud. BUT remember that you have a responsibility now. You were told to be inconspicuous about your job in public. Did you not hear about the 17 or w/e Afghanistan army people who are missing over here?? HELLOOOOO!!!!!! Use your common sense!
A couple of them were even talking about what they do!! SERIOUSLY??!??!?! The worst part... they're friggin intel. I know this because they were talking loud enough for me to hear. They might as well have said "Hey, over here!! I know lots of secret military stuff that could be of use to you! Come and get me!!" I could have dealt with them dressing like marines that will come with time, but they should know better than to talk about things like that. Just frustrates me.
ANYWAYSSSS, back to the important stuff, my birthday!! :-) Friday night we drove to the border and stayed in Elizabeth City. My husband and I stop at our hotel and walk into the lobby. Someone says "Happy Birthday!" and I immediately turned to say Thank You but all I got out was the Thank part because it was one of my best friends, Angela!!!! I was super duper excited so of course I screamed. haha. I didn't even consider how a stranger would know it was my birthday. I am just super polite I guess haha. We went to dinner after and then a dirt race which made my husband super duper happy. He lovessssss racing. I have to admit, it really wasn't too awful. I kind of enjoyed it. But that was Friday night before Busch Gardens. We came home Saturday night and had a bon fire with the neighbors.
Today is FATHERS DAY!! So, Happy Father's Day to my daddy and to all the other dads and soon to be dads out there! I love my dad. He is such a great guy. I can't be with him today but I called and sent him the most amazing card EVER that he should be getting tomorrow. If this card doesn't make him cry then I'll be super surprised haha.
Dad, if you're reading this, I love you so much. Just because I am "all grown up" and living states away doesn't change anything. I still need you and love you and am so proud that your my dad.
For all of you who don't have your dads with you anymore, or your husbands, keep smiling. I am sure they are right next to you wishing they were here too. Stay strong.

Car accident.
So I got in a car accident today. Yay me. I rear-ended some girl. The front of my car is in pretty crappy shape but her car is totally fine, it would be. I wish I had done more damage so I could claim it totaled and get a new car haha. But seriously, scary junk. I am ok though. I had to wait 2 1/2 hours for a stinking officer to come though. Sooo angry. Especially because it started storming.
But oh well. It's over and done with. On the bright side, my husband got out of working late tonight because of it so I get more time with him :-) Yay!

Is it the weekend yet?
No, it's only Tuesday and I am already sick of this week. Or just sick period. I have been having horrible migraines lately. They are crippling. Also my stomach has been hurting a little off and on. I swear something is seriously wrong with my immune system or something. Anyways, I want this week to be over with already because Saturday is my birthday!!! Last year on my birthday my husband graduated boot camp and I got to watch and it was just incredible. The best present everrrr. I think I posted pictures of my birthday shirt :-) This year my wonderful husband is taking me to Busch Gardens!! :-) It was supposed to be a surprise but I puppy dog faced my way to his heart<3 hehe. I am so excited!! We are leaving Friday eventing and coming back saturday evening I believe. I still don't think anything can top my birthday last year but we will see!!
Since I didn't get my husband for the whole weekend this weekend I am super duper excited I get him all to myself this weekend. My friend from home is in the Navy and stationed in Williamsburg, VA so we are going to meet him at Busch Gardens which just makes it even better!! The only way it could possibly get any better is if I got this incredible camera I want super badly. It's the Canon Rebel xsi. It's something like $600 so I don't want it but I soooooo do lol. I really want to dive into photography. As a hobby to start but maybe if I love it as much as I think I will then I could make a career out of it which would be amazing. Only problem is I don't have a camera haha. Oh well. One day I will!
I was looking at it at Best Buy but they don't sell it anymore. They only sell the next model up which is the Canon Rebel t1i. The only big difference is it's video capability but I don't even plan on using it for videos so it seems pointless to spend the extra money on it when I don't even want to spend the 600 on the one I want lol.
Can't I just win the lottery? That would be a spectacular birthday present :-) haha

SOOOOOOO upset.
There is a girl from back home who is dating/pre-engaged to a new Marine. That part I think is fantastic. The problem I have with it is that her friends and family and friend's families are giving her a hard time for it. They are telling her she is stupid for following a boy around and that leaving would be the dumbest thing she has ever done. WHAT??!!?!?!? Excuse me, but have you ever lived this life? How on earth would you know if this is going to be the dumbest thing she ever does?? You don't!! So keep your mouths shut!! Gosh!
I feel awful. I have tried to boost her confidence with her decision. I obviously went through some obstacles to be where I am today but I did them because I knew that this was what I wanted and it was the best thing I ever did. As far as this girls "friends" go I wish I could smack them. I didn't have a problem with any friends not supporting us. My parent's took a little convincing but they stand behind us. I just told her to follow her gut and if she thinks moving down here to go to college closer to her man then do it! That's the real kicker. She isn't even marrying him right away. She is moving down here to go to college closer to him so they can spend more time together. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with going to college out of state. BUT unfortunately our hometown is full of a bunch of stiffs who think they are the center of the world.
Is there any advice you think I should give her? I feel like I did a pretty damn good job but I wanted to post about this because of how irritating it is and because there are so many amazing girls out there who have gone through this or are going through this.
Marrying my soulmate was the best decision I have ever made. Follow your hearts girls!!

I Love my Husband
I Love my husband<3 A Lot<3 A lot a lot<3 I am watching New Moon and I have to admit, I fell for the Edward Cullen lust fest. But the more I watch these the more I realize that he doesn't even come close to my husband. Sure my husband isn't a mysterious vampire, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have to restrain himself around me ;-) Wink Wink. Haha. But seriously, if I am sure any 109 year old man stuck in a 17 yr old's body would be able to seduce any girl he chose. Creepy when you think about it like that right?
Jonathan is my fanatic love, my own brand of heroin if you will. But I still love Edward Cullen. He reminds me over and over again that I have my soul mate and he is simply wonderful<3

So hubbers has duty
He has duty until tomorrow morning. I was banking on today's weather being beach friendly, but no. It's all rainy and junk. I have no idea what to do today. We need a new DVR remote because the lovely pup chewed ours, but we have like no money to get one. Damn bills.
The only real negative about my job is that I get paid in cash because I am split up between 3 agents. Sometimes I get paid on time which rocks but most of the time one of the agents isn't in the office on friday or forgets, blah blah blah, so I end up waiting a lot. That is super annoying.
(SIDE: I am watching tv and a BING commerical came on with the I dip you dip we dip song and the way the girl in the convertible screamed the song is sooo funny. You have to watch it to get it haha)
That was a total side tangent. Sorry. But anyways, yea, my job woes. It was ridiculously difficult to find a job down here though and I think I lucked out with this one. I am hoping I keep enjoying it.
So I guess I will keep you updated on my boring day. Who knows what I will end up doing.

He did it for me, so it's only fair
If you read my love games post you know that my husband took a survey that made me smile. I figure I should return the favor for him<3 So here it is.
1. What is the first thing you noticed about your husband when you met?
The first time I ever saw him was my freshman year, his senior, in high school. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly handsome he was and how fast he made my heart beat and I hadn't even talked to him yet.
The first time I saw him after he came home and we were actually dating, 2 yrs later, I almost fainted I was so in love. His embrace and kiss was absolutely incredible.
2. What is something your husband does that drives you crazy? (In a bad way, let's not get freaky on here people!)
Bites his nails and does this "oh you wouldn't know" bit when an older song comes on. NEWS FLASH!!! I usually do know I'm only 3 yrs younger than you dipwad <3
3. If money wasn't an option what is one thing you would make sure you always had done for your husband?
Hard to say. I like to think I do everything really well for him and take care of him so that he wouldn't need anything. I guess I would hire someone to pay our bills so that he never had to worry about them. But even then I wouldn't want to hire someone so I would probably just do it myself so he wouldn't have to lol.
4. When do you find your husband most attractive?
ooooo. I got this. The other weekend we were sitting around the fire and I looked over at my husband and I, no lie, melted. Idk if it was the way his hair was all different directions and still looked amazing or how the fire made his skin glisten, or maybe the fact that I looked up and he was staring right at me. But the combination made him look irresistible.
5. What does your husband do for you that you totally appreciate and would miss if it was gone?
When I am cooking dinner and he comes up behind me and puts his arms around me and kisses me. It just makes me feel appreciated and loved.
6. If you had your wedding day to do over again and everything was your call, would you keep everything the same? Change something? Everything? Elope or if you eloped vice versa?
Everything was my call the first time around haha. But honestly, our wedding was amazing and perfect. YES, the pastor first called me Brenda which ironically is my mothers name. But hey, no ones wedding goes off without at least 1 funny little thing going wrong. It was hilarious and lightened the nerves. At the end of the day I was married to my soul mate and I was completely happy<3
7. What's one beauty up keep that you wish your husband didn't do? Or what's one beauty thing you wish he did do?
I wish he let me pluck his eye brows. haha
and I wish he didn't bite his nails but he is getting better at clipping them.
8. If you could go or be any where in the world with your husband right now, where would that be?
I would love to be in harry potter land at orlando. he would too. it would rock.
9. What is one moment you wish you could back and relive with your husband just to get to experience again? Would you change anything?
Our first kiss. My god it was amazing. I pulled up into his driveway around 11pm. It was raining. I barely got my door open before he swept me up in his arms and kissed me. My knees went weak and my heart slowed down and sped up. It was the start of this amazing journey.
10. What do you love most about your husband?
The way he looks at me every morning. Like he is amazed I am laying there next to him. He doesn't know it but he always starts my day off perfectly<3
I Love You Mr. Sykes<3

1. What is the first thing you noticed about your husband when you met?
The first time I ever saw him was my freshman year, his senior, in high school. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly handsome he was and how fast he made my heart beat and I hadn't even talked to him yet.
The first time I saw him after he came home and we were actually dating, 2 yrs later, I almost fainted I was so in love. His embrace and kiss was absolutely incredible.
2. What is something your husband does that drives you crazy? (In a bad way, let's not get freaky on here people!)
Bites his nails and does this "oh you wouldn't know" bit when an older song comes on. NEWS FLASH!!! I usually do know I'm only 3 yrs younger than you dipwad <3
3. If money wasn't an option what is one thing you would make sure you always had done for your husband?
Hard to say. I like to think I do everything really well for him and take care of him so that he wouldn't need anything. I guess I would hire someone to pay our bills so that he never had to worry about them. But even then I wouldn't want to hire someone so I would probably just do it myself so he wouldn't have to lol.
4. When do you find your husband most attractive?
ooooo. I got this. The other weekend we were sitting around the fire and I looked over at my husband and I, no lie, melted. Idk if it was the way his hair was all different directions and still looked amazing or how the fire made his skin glisten, or maybe the fact that I looked up and he was staring right at me. But the combination made him look irresistible.

Today a fat lady...
Ook, I couldn't resist that title. But here's the story.
Today, the fat lady at my office got all butt hurt over what I was wearing. I was wearing cute striped shorts with a solid blue shirt and white wedges. Here is a pic of similar shorts.
She told one of my bosses to tell me not to wear short shorts anymore. My boss, the 1 guy I work for out of the 3, told me a couple days ago that I could wear shorts to work just keep it appropriate. He just looked at me and was like I don't see the problem with these shorts but the women in this office are fashionistas and have issues with everything.
Here is what I think. I think that the whale of a woman was just pissy that she can wear all the cute clothes and shoes she wants to and she STILL doesn't look good. Yes I said it. Normally I don't pick on fat people but in this case it's her fault. She eats twinkies for lunch ppl.
She is just annoyed that I am skinny and toned and my legs look fudging fantastic with a pair of heels. GAHHHH!!!!
Needless to say I was very VERY annoyed today.
To top it all of Jon has an HST tonight until like 2 am. I got home at 4:50 and he left at 5:00 so we got a total of 10 minutes together today. 10 mins is better than nothing though. Always look on the positive side!!

I'm being an awful blogger!
I am so sorry about the lack of posting. Between my new job and wanting to spend every possible second with my husband I am finding my blog lower and lower on the to do list. I wish that wasn't so! Let me try and catch you up since nothing too extravagant has happened anyways...
First of all, I am so incredibly happy my husband is home!!! There is talk of deployment in the not so near yet not so far future so please don't delete my blog because I promise there will be a time when I can, will need to, and will update my blog at least once a day again.
You know those amazing tempurpedic mattresses? Well I can't afford one but I did splurge on the pillow!! It was amazing for the whole 3 days I had it. Yea, had, as in past tense. My wonderful, loving, adorable puppy chewed it to pieces. When I say pieces I mean pieces. There wasn't an inch of floor in my entire house that wasn't covered with it. I screamed and then cried a little. Stupid dogs.
Oh and then he followed it up by trying to chew my replacement pillow. Let me tell you I was furious.
One of my best friends was here for just under a month. It was awesome having her around. I felt bad because when she got down here I was just starting my new job so I'm still not fully working from home yet, just partially. Anyways, that meant she was just kinda chillen for the majority of the time. We did take her to the beach a couple times though. She has never seen the ocean so that was pretty awesome. Plus I actually got in the ocean, for the first time in like 10 years!! No exaggeration. I really hate(d) the ocean. It still scares me a lot but it's just so damn warm and fun to jump over the waves. I do still despise the damn sand though.
My birthday is in 11 days!!! Although I am really not all that excited. Those exclamation points were just for effect. Last year was my 19th and you know how they say the year your turn the age of your bday is your best year? SOOOOO TRUE!!! On my birthday I got to watch my fiance graduate boot camp!! I literally got him for my birthday!! It was amazing!! Absolutely the happiest day of my life. THEN within the same year we decided to get married!! We were going for a long engagement but neither of us have the patience. haha. So about 4 months after deciding that, we got married!!! Then the day after our wedding we moved to North Carolina. I have gotten him for a little over 4 of the 6 months we have been married so far. That is incredible I would say. But anyways, that leads us to 11 days from now... I will turn 20, not 21, so it isn't that big in itself anyways. BUT how the heck am I going to top last year??? I don't need to top the whole year just my birthday but still, it's an impossible feat. I guess we'll see how it goes!
I think I'll be getting a dryer for my birthday, since ours just broke. What I really want? The beautiful magnificence that is the Canon Rebel XSi. It's an amazing starter camera and I want it SOOOOOOOOO badly, but it costs a pretty penny and now that we need a new dryer I just don't want my hubbers to go buy it for me. So, eventually I will get it, just probably not in 11 days. But hey mom? dad? if you're reading this, just a thought<3 Since you always ask me what I want anyways. Wink Wink ;-)
On a sadder note, I am the shottiest friend there ever was, will be or is. One of my best friends had her bridal shower this past Sunday and I couldn't get up to NY to attend. I feel awful. I just got slammed with work that I still haven't even had time to finish because the pile is taller than I am. It's ridiculous if you ask me. BUT the point is I suck. I feel bad, and she hasn't texted me back or anything which makes me feel even lamer since I should have called but I didn't because I had to run to work when I remembered I needed to remind her again. Yea, I am that girl. Someone throw a tomato at me.
Ok, ok I'll stop rambling. But seriously. Anna, I love you girl, I wish I could have been there. Please don't hate me! Then we won't be able to have all this awesome fun were going to have when you come here.
