The surprise box....

So Bryce got his surprise box today... You may ask what was in it??? Well I got him a PSP!!! Its small enough to take on convoys and to be able to watch movies, play games, pictures and music! It will keep him busy when they get to wherever they are going...He loved it... He said that as soon as I said I was sending him a surprise the first thing that popped in his head was a PSP...Lets just say im glad I got what he wanted....
But he got really sick on his way back from the convoy...Headache, Throwing up, and just feeling like crap...I fill so bad cause all you want when you are sick is for someone to take care of you and Abvously no Sgt. is going to get him a 7 up and make him fell better...I miss you baby wish I was there to take care of you...

30 Day Shred!!!!

Wow if you want a exercise video that kicks your butt get 30 day Shred by Jiillian Micheals....First day and my legs are already sore!!! And I fill like I have A.D.D cause you are down on the floor and then up on your feet, down on the floor and then up on your feet ext....But I'm glad it kicked my butt I needed that...I feel like I need to take a nap...haha fat chance. I still need to clean my room and get my cloths hung up cause I'm living out of a suit case still...I know I know I have been home for 5 weeks and still living out of a suit case!?! I just don't fill like putting things away cause it seems so permanent and lets just say I don't want it to be permanent without my hubby!!!!

On the subject of him, he is doing really good...Going on convoys and staying busy... I sent his surprise package to him yesterday so it should get there in 8-10 days hopefully closer to the 8 day mark:) Lets just say he better love it...I'm pretty sure he will. He loves to play things and that's my only hint!!!

Yesterday was a really bad day for me....I was listening to the radio and the worst song came on... I'm already home by Tim Mcgraw...Lets just say that is one song that should not come on when your husband is over in Afghanistan...And right as soon as the song came on the tears just started...I was like holly crap give me a freakin break...Then the day just stayed bad...i was thinking of him constantly and would just start crying...I miss my best friend...I cant wait for him to put his arms around me and just hold me and never let go (well atleast for 15 days)...

Sorry to leave on a sad note...Pics of my baby to come soon!!!

Wow....

So a fellow blogger is going threw a hard time right now...her husbands humvee flipped and he was killed...I fill so bad for her...they have a little baby girl that is 3 months old...

Please keep all the military in your prayers, pray that all of them can be out of harms way and so they can come back to all their loved ones...and pray for the spouses who have lost their husbands...

Sorry to bum you out but I needed to let you guys know how real this is....

Yah Bryce!!!!!

So before Bryce left he was 2 percent over on his body fat percentage....Well 3 weeks into being deployed he has lost 19 pounds and now only has 21 percent body fat which means he is 1 percent under....I'm so happy for him and he is doing so good and just keeping focused and wanting to lose the weight so he doesn't have to worry about a body fat test ever again...Lets be honest he will never be 200 pounds but he wont have to worry about failing it ever again...I think he has noticed how much calories are in foods cause at the DFAC they have everything labeled with how many calories are in it...I told him to reward himself with a cheese burger or something but not to get back in his bad habits of eating alot...Everyone has noticed all of his hard work so that helps too...

And for me I'm just here in Gilbert enjoying my time with my family...The kids put a big smile on my face...We were going to take the kids to the park and Lexi looks up at me and says "Aunt Whitney you need to call Uncle Brycie and tell him he needs to go to the park with us"...(and her big ol' eyes looking up at me) I said "baby Uncle Brycie is too far away and he wont be back for a long time...He cant come" then the frown came and then she turns her head back to the movie "UP"...Oh how I wish I could think like that...Forget what upsets me...and then go on with my life...Oh what I wish to be 5 again, no worries in the world...

Oh and I have a really good package I'm getting ready for Bryce cant wait to send it off...Ill write and tell you what I'm sending after Bryce gets it!!! Don't want to ruin the surprise....

So........

These past three weeks have gone by fast but at the same time has gone pretty slow...I guess its just depends on the days....Bryce has done a amazing job over there...He got a recognition coin from a Master Sgt.!!!! In the army that is a big deal...I'm so happy that everyone is noticing how great a soldier/Man he is...He works so hard to do the right thing and be the best soldier he can be...Food is good over there, he has lost about 10 pounds and he loves having his computer to play on...He was on Guard Tower Duty but he is no longer...Which he is not too upset about...(The other boys would wake him up at 7am when he was only asleep for 5 hours) So now he is working with all his guys again...His Lt. was mad cause he wanted Bryce to go on a convoy and he found out he was on Guard Tower duty and he said why are we putting our best guys in towers when we need them with us...I just love hearing all the great things being said about Bryce....I do have to say I am one PROUD army wife.....I love him so much and have no idea what i would do without him....

I have been pretty busy here at home....Doing hair around town has kept me pretty busy... I also just got back from Oklahoma cause me, my mom and dad went to the timed events...Which was a blast Bryce would enjoy it so much...We will just have to get tickets for next year!!! And this weekend going to Gilbert to spend some much needed time with my nieces and nephew who i adore...And cant wait to spend some much needed time with my sisters too.... Get our taxes done while I'm down there and do a practice up do for Bryce's cousin...who is getting married in April how exciting....So I guess I have had alot on my plate...I like it that way tho....Makes me forget for 2 seconds that my husband is all the way across the world fighting for our country in a war that needs to be fought....
