I sold our dinning room table tonight. The first step in cleaning out the house for when I move back home! :-)
We NEVER use our table. By the time we both want to sit down for dinner we would rather sit down either outside on our picnic table or in our living room. So, it was the first thing to go. And thank god it's gone! Now I have so much space! Our dog kennel was next to the table with his food and water dishes too. So I moved his dishes away from the garage door and moved his food bin behind it so we don't have it on top of his kennel anymore. AMAZING!! Should have thought of that sooner.
I have someone who wants to by our awesome desk but wont be in town until November 1 but unless I sell it before then it's hers. So that's item number 2 to go. I know I have until March but you all know I'm paranoid and this time it's about it being moving time and were still stuck with a bunch of unwanted furniture. So I'm starting early with the stuff we don't use anyways.
Anyways, my hubby is in Rockingham until tomorrow night to help our friend with his racecar and to see some of the guys. I was going to go but then I remembered I hate Nascar and being pregnant I really wasn't into sitting in the stands for hours at a time. I wouldn't even be able to sit with my husband since he would be on the pit crew. Yea, NOT exciting lol.
I'm sooo bored though! I want to have another girls night but we just had one and I think everyone probably has plans with their husbands this weekend since most have a 96 or 72. I'm going crazyyy though. I think I need some retail therapy...

Lazy days.
Today is an extremely lazy day for me. I've had a migraine all day plus my husband got home around 11:30 from being on duty so we just napped for a couple hours. Now we are sitting around the living room watching movies. Blahhh.
I can't find the energy to actually do anything, not that I have anything to do anyways. Sometimes I like lazy days because I need to just relax and lay around but sometimes I hate them because I feel pathetic. Today is a half and half.
On the plus side, I heard back from the guy in charge of Momtalk which is a mommies blog for Onslow Memorial Hospital. He wants to call me to talk more about me possibly joining the blog team over there for expectant mothers! I am so excited about this potential opportunity. For all of you mommies and mommies to be in the area you should check it out. It's really great.
I just wanted to share my exciting news. Now I'm going back to enjoying time with my hubby.

Getting ready
I am already starting to get ready for my move back home in March. We are going to sell all of our furniture except for our bed frame, headboard and foot board. I am paranoid that if we don't start selling things now we wont be able to sell them before we leave so I have posted almost everything on Lejeune yard sales already lol.
Everything I've posted we honestly don't use anyways so I wouldn't mind getting rid of it. I did post all of our couches though so I'm not sure what we're going to do if we sell all of them haha.
I get extremely anxious when I am given too much time between big plans like this. I want to have everything planned out so I don't have to worry about it. BUT everyone in the military lifestyle knows that is impossible.
We have a few big problems. First we don't know my husband's exact date for deployment. We just know it's sometime between February and March. That's a huge time frame and really bad placement. Our lease is up February 24th or something like that. If he isn't gone by then we will have to figure out somewhere to live for a month-ish. NOT fun if even possible. We would just go back to our first little home together on Topsail Island since we know they rent monthly in the winter, BUT they wont take Bo now that he is 60 lbs. So that's going to be the real challenge.
Problem number 2 is how I am going to move my things back. My mom is going to be coming down here to drive back with me so in my little car it will be my mom, me, the baby, and the dog. That's every seat taken up. I don't have a ton of things going home with me. Just the tv, 2 suitcases of clothes pretty much, and everything for the baby. It's not enough to get a uhaul truck and I don't think my car can pull one of the little uhaul trailers. I have NO idea what to do.
Any ideas?
Anyways, trying to forget about the stress of it all. Hubby isn't home tonight thanks to being on duty. It was boring all day but I'm actually a little excited to have the bed to myself tonight. SHH don't tell.
Have a wonderful evening everyone.

As the hubs pointed out...
My husband pointed out last night that President Obama's dog has the same name as ours. And I can't even pull the "We had ours first" bit. I know this is completely random but I just thought it was so strange since I thought Bo was a strange name to begin with lol.
Random thought for the day.
Now I have to bring my hubby and the other poor guy on duty some home baked cookies and lunch.

Fat pants
I bought my first pair of "fat pants" today. Actually I bought 2. I call them fat pants because that's what they look like. But really they are just those special stretchy topped jeans for pregnant people. My response?
THEY ROCK!!! I might never go back. They are super duper comfy and way easier to get the right fit than regular jeans. I was really upset about the idea of moving into some fat pants but honestly, they are awesome.
The only reason I went to get some today was because it's actually cold here in North Carolina. I LOVE IT! But, I didn't have any chilly weather clothes that fit me hence my pant spree.
Hubby went with me and was a real sport. He held my purse while I tried on pants and just followed me around holding prego pants. He's a sweetie<3
Now we are getting ready to go to Morehead City for the Seafood Festival with the neighbors. All they had to say was food and I would have been there. It looks like rain though so fingers crossed it stays nice for us!

It's October!
Know what that means? Absolutely nothing. Well that's a bit harsh. It does mean I am that much closer to my favorite holiday...Thanksgiving. I am just so excited to go home and have my husband be there with me! I loved being home last time but it didn't feel complete because he couldn't be there with me.
I love being home and I love Thanksgiving AND my baby shower is the weekend after Thanksgiving so theres that too! So much to look forward to NEXT month. As for this month there are a few things on my calendar...
Things like I get to start my new job, I have my 20 week appointment and hopefully they can tell us if were having a boy or a girl, hubby and I are doing one of those marriage enrichment retreats at the end of the month, oh and I get to go to my court hearing #2 for the accident that happened back in June. YAY!
I am really excited about starting my job and for the retreat. As for my 20 week appointment...I'm not so sure how I feel about it. I have to schedule 2 appointments; 20 week check up and an anatomy scan ultrasound. I have my 20 week set for October 19 but I was told I would have to be called back to make the second appointment and might have to wait until November. I'm bummed because I don't know if they will tell us what we are having until we get that anatomy scan.
As for my court date, you can bet your butt I'm not excited about that at all. I think we are going to try and just see the DA ahead of time and show them the paper we have saying everything is taken care of. My fear is that the paper we have will be insufficient again. The first time we had a different paper that didn't say exactly what they wanted and this time it's a little different and I can see where they are going to be picky again.
It's sooooo ridiculous. Who gives someone a YEAR to file a claim on an accident? It might even be 2 years I don't remember. It doesn't make any sense to me at all. You should get like 24 hours to file a claim. It was just a stupid fender bender! I was going like 20 mph and the only damage done was to MY car. The trailer hitch on the other one destroyed my front end and completely protected her car. Oh, and did I mention she was driving with a suspended license? YEA!! So, feeling completely at fault and horrible that she was on her way to take care of her license by paying off her tickets when I rear ended her I told her I would give her 5 minutes to get a friend here to say she was driving instead.
At the time I was thinking I was such an awful person for not being able to stop and hitting her and now she is going to jail while she was on her way to take care of her tickets. But now, I think about how stupid I was and I could have just avoided a ticket instead of clearing my guilty conscience.
Oh well. I guess all I can do is go try and get it taken care of and hope this paper is good enough so that this can all just be dropped and I can forget about it. It's bad enough I am a paranoid driver now.
Anyways, that is my upcoming October. Not too exciting but at least I have "events" spread out enough that it might go by fast. Especially with me working now.
Then on to Thanksgiving!!!
