Is it just me or does being a grown-up really suck??? BOO! >-p on you Grown-Up-Ness! Lately Kevin and I have basically accepted the fact that a vacation when he comes home really is not in the cards for us (when he gets home). =( Sadly this job market isn't helping us out at all! Well this is right in the forefront of my mind tonight because my entire family is going back to Jersey this summer and they were discussing plans tonight at my mother's. Taking Kevin to Jersey is something that I have really wanted to do, and it's something that I sort of have to do when someone other than my Gramma will be around (hence my mother, or aunt). I've been there too many times to count but not enough as an adult to figure out how to get myself from point A to point B. Not to mention merging onto the highway (in Jersey) causes me heart palpitations! It's seriously one of the most frightening things I've ever done in all my life! tee hee
You'll remember a few weeks ago I posted about whether or not to vacation at all and asked for your opinions. So tonight after listening to my family go back and forth on their plans and them telling me how much Gramma wants to meet Kevin and how her and Grandpa really aren't doing that well, ect ect ect. I came home and priced some things out and this is when I came to the conclusion that we could go but it would be seriously irresponsible. Hotel for 2 nights, plus airfare, plus some spending money, chipping in for the rental car and maybe some gas money it really would be hard for us. All of this is why being a grown up completely, without a doubt SUCKS!
Sorry hubs... we'll just vacation at home with a little picnic in the living room. =(
OOO.. yes I just about forgot to mention the timing of all of this. Buying tickets and committing to going (getting granny's hopes up) and what if they don't get home when they are expecting to? What if block leave doesn't start in time for this trip? Grrrrr. Today is a day that I am wishing life was easier- simpler; and that I was six-years-old still- again.

This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard. It's very impressive, no-holds-barred. It might be long, but it's well worth it. Enjoy.
Hello readers! If you're new to my blog here is where you should start: with my First Blog! Once upon a time this blog went by "A Day in This Army Wife's Life," but those days are behind me. While I am still and plan to always be an Army Wife I want this blog to be about me, who I am, and what I'm going through. At the end of the day I wanted the name change to represent ME and not necessarily who I'm married to. I'm excited about the change and hope you are also. Thanks for reading, and following and COMMENTING!

December 9th 2010 the hubs and I arrived in Germany!
Soon after Kevin departed on his 4th deployment.
Thankfully almost a year to the day, Kevin returned to Germany after 9 months in Afghanistan.
We learned of our pending PCS back to the states.
We learned our family would be expanding later this year!
What else could possibly be around the corner for us!!?
Stay tuned!
Hit me up!

There are days where I miss being a kid again for that exact reason! You really don't apprecite it when your that young until you finally get (here)...Sorry that your vacation isn't going to work out:( Is there anyway you could do something there? Even if it means driving somewhere for the day?
I miss the days of lunch money that is for sure lol. I feel your pain though we cant afford to take a vacation at the endof this deployment for the two of us AND come home to see everyone. It isnt in the cards for us either and it sucks that some times people dont understand the military IS NOT made of money. Head up! :)
I feel you on this.. it's tough saving for the things that we want in the future (a home of some sort, etc etc) and for retirement and still have money to do things.
Gotta love the unexpectedness of the Army too -- I want to wait to buy plane tickets for R&R, but if we wait it will be more expensive, but what if he's not home yet and we have to pay change fees.. argh!
Yes, being a grown up really does suck. I don't think there's anything cool about it once you turn the age 21 and can legally drink. Besides that yes....it sucks.....
Dont worry you'll find a job soon! It'll be something you LOVE!
Being grown can suck at times. :( I'm sure you guys will have fun even if you vacation at home.
Thanks for your opinion on the dress! I'm leaning towards the first one as well, not only because it's pretty but it's $100 cheaper then the other one. haha. I started tanning to try and prevent looking "washed-out" because no matter what color I wear it always happens. :)
