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. :-)

I had an amazing Valentines day all around this year! I was actually WITH Rusty, unlike last year. He was in boot camp. That really sucked. Rusty really did everything he could to make it a great VDay. Of course my favorite moments involved food. We went to this awesome little italian place in Mt. Pleasant. I loved it.

It is so cute! I would totally post the name, it's not like I am trying to keep it a secret. However I am not sure how to pronounce it and I can't even google to find it since idk what it sounds like. Sorry readers... if there are any still out there!

I haven't gotten a pay check so my VDay gift to Rusty was making him one of his favorite meals (Jambalaya) and one of his favorite desserts, chocolate chip muffins.

That is the muffins before they were cooked. Cute little hearts and xoxo. The light chips are peanut butter chips. de-lish.

Now for the ULTIMATE part of my VDay gift... Rusty gave the okay for me to get a puppy!!! More will be posted later! :-)

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?
