Tonight was kinda rough for me. I was really tired from work and then Rusty and I got in a fight. He spent all evening sleeping upstairs (he is still up there as I type this). Don't worry, it isn't something that we won't get past. It just hurts. 

Today my friend from VSU, Jake showed me the conference bid for the conference that was supposed to be our "baby" before I decided to get married and leave my college life. He did such a good job and I am so proud of him and VSU as a whole. Reading the bid made me REALLY homesick for my college life at VSU. I miss my friends, my involvement in housing, SAACURH, and GRHO. I got really upset about how I am having a hard time keeping in touch with everyone. I made it worse by stumbling upon a FB profile of a guard friend that I had a falling out with at the end of my time at VSU. Just everything that I left behind last semester was hurting. I do not regret leaving, but I wish I could have both worlds sometimes.

So I have spent the evening feeling really down. I tried to sleep it off, and was to restless to fall asleep. I couldn't get Rusty to wake up and get dinner with me and we didn't have anything in the house to eat. I wasn't feeling up to getting dressed in jeans and even getting take out. I decided to cheer myself up a bit by just eating ice cream for dinner. Somehow our freezer was cracked open for idk how long and my ice cream was melted. :-(

Thankfully my friend Morgan sent me a facebook message and really cheered me up. Her hubby was also being kinda lame tonight and so we decided instead of sitting alone in our PJs on our separate couches we would go out for frozen yogurt in our favorite place, "The" Mount Pleasant. Nicole's man was out late with silly school things and her and Morgan were already talking so she joined us on our adventure. Our one rule, no fixing our appearances. We went as we were on our couches :-)

I had to take Jasper on our adventure, because he cheers me up. I can't cry looking at that sweet face on my car floor. 

After Jasper and I picked up the ladies we headed over to Mt. Pleasant to this frozen yogurt shop called Menchies. 

They had tons of flavors to choose from! I went with apple pie! :-)

Here is Morgan with her tasty treat! It was fun trying to figure out what to put in our yogurt.

There were so many choices!

Yummmm....

Here is mine. Apple pie yogurt, cinnamon apple bits, cheesecake bites, and graham cracker topping. DE-LISH! 

Here is an awkward picture of the three of us. :-)

Those people behind us were super annoying... Jasper agreed lol...

These two ladies totally turned my night around and I am so very thankful that they are in my life! :-) I do want to give some credit to my friend Jessica too, because she checked up on me when she found out my night was less than to be desired. I may not be surrounded by tons and tons of friends up in SC, but the few that I consider my actual friends sure are wonderful.

Before I start with today let me share two pictures that made my day better from Tuesday I think.....

Yep, Tuesday. I had to take Jasper to the vet & petsmart. I now really love having an extra excuse to go to "the" Mt Pleasant. It means I get McAlisters and Cupcake. I got the white chocolate raspberry cupcake and it was by far my favorite cupcake so far! I loooved it! 

The second picture was of the classical music pandora station for my puppy. I hate leaving him home alone. It was suggested that I leave classical music for him when I leave. I don't think it helps him, but it helps me drown out his cries when I am locking the door. 

Wednesday was an especially traumatic day for my little pup. I couldn't find anyone to let him out while I worked a 7hr shift so he was alone all day. He got himself stuck behind our dryer and messed up our dryer vent. We rearranged the laundry room a bit so it won't happen again. I also found someone who lives in my apartment complex to help me out and walk him on my long work days. 

-----

Anyways. Today was a wonderful day. I had a full day off and got to spend it with some wonderful ladies. 

First Morgan, Kristen, Nicole, and I went to Mt. Pleasant for a trip to Cupcake. it was super fun. I tried Death By Chocolate. I couldn't finish it, it was so rich! I should have gotten a picture, but I was way too distracted by food.

(I just found this picture on their website. My cupcake looked better than this one actually!)

When we got back to the Goose. We dropped Kristen off and then I tagged along with Morgan and Nicole to "Spouse INDOC" It was actually a crappy day to go since a few of the speakers dropped out at the last minute. But we had fun. I took a few random pictures...

Going on base. Really nothing special now that I have a military ID, but since it was the start of our "adventure" I felt I needed to document.

One of our "guides" I think this was when he was telling me one of our speakers was MIA.

Nicole, Morgan, and Sarah. :-) Wonderful navy wives! I was going to get a picture of the 4 of us, but totally forgot. According to Sarah, my outfit wasn't up to par anyways. It was my day off so I was wearing my comfy "white girl" nike shorts. Mmm... comfy clothes <3

They gave us so much info!

This was the tricare lady... she is so cool she wears her shades on the inside. It cracked me up!

I am glad I was able to go, I did learn a lot. It did make me thankful I am taking a semester off of school though! I forgot how much it sucks just sitting and listening to someone talk lol. 

After Spouse INDOC we went to SUBWAY! I was so excited about food. You have no idea. Unfortunately the staff was hecka rude and the dude only gave me like 8 olives for my whole footlong. Booo... 

It was still a fantastic day off. :-)

In case you aren't from the Charleston area or if you missed the memo... today was freakin GORGEOUS!! Such amazing weather. :-) When I got off work I really wanted to go take Jasper to the dog park. I got home and the hubby was sleeping on the couch. It took awhile for him to get moving. But then we got in the car to go get Jasper to socialize! It is sooo important to me that we get Jasper to be a good sociable dog. Ugh I don't want to have "that dog".

Since Jasper is a fur ball he likes to be on the floor in the car. This way he can get some direct AC action, but still be with "the pack." Look how happy he is on the floor.

Unfortunately, the park apparently CLOSES at 5pm... wtf is up with that?? I don't know if that was just the park we went to or if it is a Charleston thing. Back in Snellville the parks don't "close". ALSO! It is like $1 to get in to the park. What is up with that? AGAIN is that just a Charleston thing?

Rusty knew how disappointed I was so he tried to fix things by taking me to a huge field on base. We had a great time. Although, it of course didn't do anything for socializing Jasper with other dogs, it was a really fun time for the three of us.

 Here are some pictures of Rusty and I:

Then I wanted to get some pictures of Jasper. Unfortunately he moves a lot so pretty much everything came out blury. I was using my phone for the pictures, so my expectations weren't super high lol.

Rusty running with Jasper.

My hubby holding Jasper so I could get a pic LOL Poor baby.

Once again my hubby saved the day and we had a great time. I love him for not giving up and giving me a great afternoon. :-)

I posted earlier that the hubby was going to let me get a puppy for vday. I have been visiting multiple animal shelters, checking craigslist, petfinder, and other sites for a few weeks now looking for the right puppy. A navy wife posted on the group that she works at a kennel. I asked her if she had any breeders come in that she knew of. She didn't, but she did know that the brother of her pomeranian puppy was still available.

This is her baby. Super cute!!

Well... I called the breeder and planned a trip an hour and a half away to the boonies. I even got tow of my good friends Morgan and Katherine to join me. It was a really fun trip!

It was in the middle of NOWHERE! 

The breeder had horses and this creature who seemed really interested in us.

I was just goofing around.

Smallest mailbox numbers ever. We had a hard time finding the place.

Here is her trailer. Ummm... yeah. 

We stayed for about an hour and I fell in love with the puppy. :-)

Well worth the trip! I came home and got the okay from Rusty to get him the next day. Sooo... Wednesday morning I woke up SUPER early to get everything for the puppy. 

Apparently there are seagulls at 6am in the Walmart parking lot.

I was there too. Yuck. I really HATE walmart. But you can't be too picky at 6am.

I spent so much time here. I didn't even get half of the stuff on my list!

Since Walmart did not meet all of my doggie needs, I later had to make a trip to petsmart. That one went a lot better. I was going to photo document the whole journey, but I was running short on time after Walmart disappointed me. 

I picked him up at a random exit off 26... which I missed the first time... oops.

He is so good in the car!

So far he has been SUCH an awesome little doggie. Potty trained. Well, he had one accident tonight, but I think that was just because the hubby didn't take him out enough while I was at work. But just once in three days is good enough for me! He is super sweet. 

Last night I learned he is better with humans than other dogs. I went over to Jessica's house and we tried to get our dogs to play together, Mine wasn't so good at it.... Bailey (her dog) was soooo good though. Even when my dog was being a little brat and snapped at him.

Awful picture, but the other one I took was worse.

It was hard to pick a name for him. I had several ones that almost made the final cut: Samuel Adams, Klondike, Lance, Nevil, Kodiak, Fritz.... the list goes on... but I ended up with Jasper and I love it!

It has been really expensive. Today we got a fairly large vet bill. Totally worth every penny. My life just feels complete now that I have a dog. :-) Things are going great!

Today my friend Morgan and I began our "seasonal" employment at edible arrangements. We were supposed to work from 7am- dinner time. I am not sure what time dinner time is... but I can't imagine that it is at 10:30am.... clearly that is when we were supposed to eat dinner today though. They sent some people home at 9am. Morgan and I fought to stay. Okay fought isn't the right word. We begged though! It came down to a draw from a hat... We got to stay and get our extra $12 lol.

Sadly... 10:30am was the final cut off time and there was seriously NOTHING else to do.

Sooo.... Morgan and I decided to go drown our sorrows in The Mt. Pleasant. It was a success.

We went to Cupcake and got freakin uh-mazing cupcakes! :-)

Mine <3

Morgan's <3

And what would a trip to The Mt. Pleasant be without HARRIS TEETER! The most amazing grocery store that Jessica and I found one day. Incase you missed that exciting day here is a recap... 

We also got cupcakes.

Then discovered the Harris Teeter magical land of beer.

Aaaaand this... yum?

Yeah, that was a glorious day.

Now back to this trip. I was pretty excited to come back. There were many amazing samples and random pictures. :-)

Woohoo. Harris Teeter makes carts in my size!

These cupcakes looked amazing... maybe we found a NEW cupcake spot...

LOOK! It's Morgan!! These pictures were inspired by this video...

HERE!

After our magical Harris Teeter adventure we decided to explore our own area... so we ventured past the gate down Red Bank. That was exciting, because we saw wildlife! Other than that... not so much...

When we got home my gated community was open... wtf. That is never open. #SecurityFail. 

During this time my home was also invaded by a mexican painter. He fixed our ceiling though so it's cool. 

It was a fantastic day with a fantastic person. Hopefully tomorrow it will involve more fruit. :-/

UGH! It is only 4:00!!! Ugh. I guess I will study my flashcards for my real job. 

PS Did you know Morgan and I got married one day apart? :-) Pretty cool huh?
