Thanksgiving!

Today was so VERY long. I'm pretty sure it actually started yesterday, with all the cleaning and baking pies (an apple and a pumpkin) and brownies (normal and dark chocolate). Woke up early this morning to get breakfast ready and start the turkeys; TWO by the way... two turkeys. I'm stuffed and exhausted. My brother and his girlfriend are spending the night and even at 9pm, my Nana and Uncle are still here. Gahhh.. I love my family, but I'm so sleepy and its Arch's night off.

Archimedes FINALLY got my first package, which had two pumpkin pies in jars and a very cautionary note that said to not eat them if the seal had broken and the top popped up. I used really good canning jars and made sure they were very sanitized and sealed well, put the lids on right out of the oven and made sure they had a really good seal. I made 7 and sent 2 to Arch, my dads been snacking on the ones I've had here. I kept them out on the counter to see how well they lasted to see if Arch's lasted too and they've been doing great. He was actually REALLY excited to hear that they were pumpkin pies, since I had been telling him I don't like pumpkin pie at all.. he told me its very "un-American"... haha. Well at least I eat apple pie. I'm glad he got it, now I need to start getting his Birthday/Christmas package ready. It'll probably end up getting there a week or so after his birthday, but that's okay.

Tomorrow, sleep... so much sleep. Oh, and I'll take pictures of the nails I did for Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a great day! À Bientôt!

Sad News

Well, I got some not-so-good news the other day, which is the reason I've maybe been neglecting the blog.

My Airman got a PCS overseas. For those who don't know what that is, it's a Permanent Change of Station, one year overseas. I'd be so very excited for him, except its barely months after he returns from deployment. I completely support him and told him I'd always be there for him, so he shouldn't worry about it :D We started planning things to do after he returned, I think it helps us get over the thought of how long it'll be. He's going to take a month leave to see me between coming back from deployment and getting prepared.
Honestly, a lot of me feels... really really sad. Not being able to see him or spend much time with him, but all will be well. I will do my best at staying patient and looking forward :) I've spent a few days getting used to it and getting my barrings. It's gotten to the point where I'm not sure I can think of much of my future without him being in it automatically.

Anywho, I love watching my Airman get up and get ready for work, even when he's all grumpy. I cant wait until he's back and I can snuggle up with him :)

Apologies for the rambling

Rough Days and Long Nights

Yesterday.... well.. yesterday sucked.

I had an interview that I was VERY confident about, but when I arrived for it, I found out it was a group interview... and in comparison to other people, I get really worried because I lack the job experience most other people have. I tried my best, but I've been feeling really pessimistic about it. Very uncharacteristic of me, but I can't seem to help it.

I had completely forgotten it was Archimedes' day off, which was a great relief! He made silly faces and said silly things to cheer me up. It got a bit frustrating when my internet decided it didn't want to work anymore... over... and over... and it got to the point where I was bawling and he was telling me it was okay. I kept apologizing for being upset over something so little, but he told me "If I can't love you when you're a little sad, I shouldn't be able to love you." <3 He's so wonderful and knows just how to help. I wish I could thank him a thousand times.  

Silly Realization

I'm sitting here chatting with my friend, who happens to be a Marine S.O., and she asked how I was. I responded with "Sleepy", which to anyone who knows me is a very normal answer. Since it was Archimedes day off, I kept myself up as long as I could, until I passed out... like most nights. As I told my friend, "Stay up to late, fall asleep while still on Skype, wake up the next morning and he's still there and he smiles at me and asks if I slept well. Every 4 days, whether I have school or not.. :) but I enjoy it"


The truth is, I really do love it. Spending time with the sweetest and most lovely guy I've ever met... The only thing different would for him to be in my arms, and stay up to ridiculous times with him and being silly <3 Ah, that man...

Halloween!

A while ago I showed my idea for my WWII AF girl costume looking like this: 

Wellll, it turned out to be a bit more like this: 

Which I liked... a lot. I'm glad it didn't turn out looking TOO uniform-y and ended up turning out a lot more relaxed :) I'm happy with how the skirt turned out, but since it just closes with a bow, sadly, it doesn't stay were I'd like it to. I'm going to work on putting a better fastener on it. 

C'est tout pour maintenant! Bonsoir! Happy Halloween!
