a not much update

alright, last night Laura informed that I hadn't updated my blog in almost a month so I figured I'd do a quick update even though there really isn't all that much to report on at the moment. as i mentioned in my last blog the hubby is home and it's AMAZING!! even though we do have opposite schedules a lot of the time it is still so amazing to at least get to see him everyday and know that he's safe. our schedules are about to get a little bit weirder and possibly harder, but at last we are in the same state. he is starting a job working at a marriot near the airport as a night time security guard/shuttle driver. he will be working from 11 PM to 7 AM. So he's going to be sleeping a lot during the day, so that might stink.. but for now it will work. i'm just proud of Rey for how fast he got a job. He came home and during the first week he had six interviews and out of those six pretty much got offered three, even though one was pretty much a scam, and another one he might possibly take but it isn't till January and it's a paid internship at Zions bank where they teach you all these management skills and then after three months you start the job and since you did the internship it's really easy to get promoted there.. so he's probably only going to do this night job until january and then in january do the zions thing and school.. like i was saying though, i'm so proud of him for wanting to take care of me and our future family. he has a lot of buddies that got out and don't even search for a job and just live off unemployment and just spend their days drinking and partying, and chillaxing.. one friend just spends his days fishing. now i know rey would fish every day if he could, but he's doing what's best for us! i'm super duper lucky! really, there isn't much going on at the moment.. i'm just working, and rey's working.. we have gone fishing together twice which has been pretty fun. actually the first one was the fun one because we woke up early and drove to this pretty lake and we were actually getting a lot of bites and catches.. and the second time we went to a close by, but very nasty lake where rey got eaten up by some nasty mosquitos. so yeah, that's my update for now! oh, and rey wanted me to say that he's super cool. the end! kristen

the hubby is home

yay! rey is home for good!!! on wed i flew to california and i swear it was the longest flight ever after not seeing rey for two months. the worst was i was at the back of the plane and the people in the front took forever! i was so close, but felt so far! after about ten minutes of waiting for slow people i speed walked my way to the baggage claim area! i know i have done worse, but it definitely felt good to be in his arms after two long months apart! the next day we went to disneyland and oh my gosh! it was freakishly hot!! california must have been having a heat wave or something but it was 95 degrees at disneyland! i think the hottest i have ever been before was 85 degrees, so waiting in the heat was pretty uncomfortable and miserable, but we still had fun. because it was september and the slow season lines were pretty short which was awesome, but the park was only going to be open till 8, and sadly rey and i only made it till 4! on friday rey and i drove back to utah. it was pretty sad to leave california since that has been my home on and off for the past 2 years and it's been rey's for four years. in the end we both knew we had something better coming for us so we were pretty excited at the same time. the drive wasn't too bad since rey and i have been apart for so long that it just felt good to be together and talk.

so it's now been almost a week since rey has been home and i love it!! the first two days were a little rough since it was all moving in, unpacking, and getting a lot of stuff done, but just the fact that we are finally together is making it all worth it! it's kind of funny because during the two months that i was working before work i'd always be so bored and watch the clock move slowly till i had to get ready or leave for work, and now that time goes by so fast because i love spending all this quality time with my naldo! i'm pretty stoked for tomorrow because it's finally my day off and rey and i have a super fun day planned. tomorrow we are waking up at 4:30 and heading to the lake to go fishing! also, i just got my very own hot pink fishing pole and i'm not going to lie, i'm pretty stoked about it! we are going to spend the morning fishing and just hanging out. after we finish fishing we are going to head to some property that his family owns. pretty much from when i first met rey he has always talked about this certain piece of property and how much he loves it, and how his grandparents have said that someday it will be his.. so in the end this piece of property will someday be ours. so yeah, i'm pretty excited to see this place that i have heard so much about. kind of sucks that i have to work saturday morning because it could have been fun to stay the night and camp there! anyways, i think that's about it!

ungrateful people annoy me

yep, the title says it all! ungrateful people ANNOY me! the other day i was working and a girl comes and tells me that she was so pissed because on her lunch break she was driving to chick-fil-a and it turn her an extra five minutes to get there because there was a stupid marine's funeral going on. number 1. does she not realize my husband is a marine? 2. five minutes? really? oh no you poor thing! 3. a marine just gave up his life so other's can have a better one and his family is grieving and feeling so much pain and you are over here complaining about five extra minutes! seriously i wanted to slap the girl!!

then today i'm working and was talking about how excited i was that my husband is going to be home for good in two weeks and the girl i'm talking to is saying how she wishes that she could spend time away from her husband and how being married is hard.. and how it sucks! i went on to say how being married to a marine who has to spend all this time away makes you realize that the small stupid stuff you fight over isn't worth it and how you learn to appreciate each other and how precious time together is and how i'm so excited! she then goes on to tell me that as soon as he gets back i'm going to wish he was gone again.. nope sorry! sure, rey and i have our moments, but i'd give anything to be with him.. sorry lady! having a husband be gone all the time sucks and i hate that some people don't realize this.. seriously! be grateful that you have a husband around 24/7 and know that he's always safe and that you can call, text, or be together whenever the heck you want!

sorry, that's my little rant! the end!

bloggy blogging

since i haven't blogged in forever i figured it was time to update, however, there truly isn't much for me to update on. life here is pretty darn boring! seriously all i do is work! for those of you who don't know, i was promoted at work to supervisor so that was pretty exciting and i'm now working full time which is pretty nice, especially since rey is going to be coming home soon and it will be nice to be working full time while he looks for a job! i'll get to rey coming home in a minute. one of the other perks of being a supervisor is that i get not only TWO free tickets, but i get FOUR free tickets! i'm pretty stoked on that, but right now it isn't all that cool considering the movies out right now aren't the greatest.. and seriously good movies aren't really coming out till the end of september.. oh well! i don't really have all that much free time to go and see movies anyway!

now, as for rey the last i blogged he was supposed to be getting out august 12th, but of course somebody lost his paperwork and was now supposed to get out september 14th! WELL, finally some good news and it looks like rey is now officially getting out aug 31st! woot!! the only problem is.. tmo, the people who will come and pack up your stuff and move you for free aren't coming till september 6th.. so he's stuck there until then! in the end i don't think he'll mind too much since i kind of think he will like having six days just to himself since the marine corps has pretty much controlled his life for the past four years! so the plan is now that i will fly down on sept 7th at night.. and that will give him time after tmo has packed everything up to deep clean the apartment and turn in the keys during the day on september 7th. that night rey will pick me up from long beach and we will drive to anaheim. we are going to stay in a hotel right next to disneyland and stay there the night.. the next day we will spend the day at disneyland for the last time for a very long while.. and then on the 9th rey and i will drive back to utah! so yeah! rey should be here hopefully on the 9th of september! i of course get to see him on the 7th, which is actually kind of funny since the last time i saw him was july 7th! so we will be seeing each other exactly 2 months later! i can't wait!! we have been so lucky to be able to text and skype whenever we could, but nothing beats spending time together and i am so thankful that from the second i see him on the 7th we wont ever have to spend any time apart! sure, we will probably be super busy, especially when he starts school and is working next spring, but at least he will get to come home to me every night! well, i think that is all! sorry for the lame update and taking forever to do it!

grenade

well, the marines have once again decided to screw rey over! after rey being in for almost four years we are pretty much used to the disappointment that they have caused on many occasions, but this time they have outdone themselves. after rey's unit got back from bridgeport they were told that the guys could do the early release program and that rey could get out of the marines early. well, everything was working out so it looked like rey was going to get out aug. 12th, and even though rey was one of the very first guys to put his paperwork in he had to wait for his paperwork to be submitted so other guys could put theirs in too. turns out rey's got lost and all the guys that took forever and turned theirs in way after are getting out in august, but now it's looking like rey is not getting out till mid september and possibly not even getting out early and just staying in till his original october date. this is just so frustrating because the only reason i came back this early was because he figured he would be back in no less than a month and now we have to wait over two! this is one of the many reasons that rey is getting out! unless it has to do directly with them nobody cares about you and everyone does whatever is best or easiest for them!

at this point i'm just stressed to the max! since we figured he was getting out in august we canceled the lease and now that he's staying he has to pay a bunch extra and now i'm stressed about money.. certain people that you thought you could count on screw you over, i'm working a ton, i'm tired, and basically nothing is going like it should! i'm really at my breaking point point because i'm not sure how much more i can handle and i know that it's only going to get harder! with rey getting out he's no longer going to be able to take terminal leave, which is leave that they can take and actually be out of the marines, but you are still pretty much getting paid so it's like having an income while you look for a job! so now we are going to have to rely on my paycheck until he gets a job and since i'm only part time that's kind of a problem! grrr! i i'm so annoyed! right now and just keep listening to the song grenade by bruno mars! it's a good angry song and it's making me feel good to vent and be angry! i seriously feel like this song is so fitting since rey has pretty much given everything for the marines and they just turn around and screw him over.. and then there are certain people who just take take take and never give anything back and it's just so frustrating! well, that's my vent! enjoy!

quick update

well, i figured since everybody that i come across asks me what's the dealio i figured i'd let everyone know! although, i do have to admit that so much of it is up in the air that i'm not exactly sure what is going on myself and it's all subject to change! alright, so i'm back in utah! woot! i talked to jordan commons and they said i could have my job back and today i went and filled out all the paperwork. she figured i'd get a phone call in the next 2-3 days and i'll find out when i'm going to start working, which actually could happen this weekend.. so who really knows! also, i'm thinking i'm in the deli! for me this is both a good and bad thing! good because it's pretty much the only place in the whole food court at jordan commons that i haven't worked so when it comes time to promote it will look awesome that i can go just about anywhere! now the bad is pretty obvious.. i don't know what i'm doing there! honestly, to me it doesn't seem that smart to put me in one of the busiest places with the most to learn on the busiest weekend of the summer.. i mean really? what are they thinking?! haha! instead of putting me some place where i could be a big asset, they are placing me in a place where i'll be like a newbie! oh well! either way i'm stoked to start working again! i'm just hoping i get a decent amount of hours.. anything over 25 i will be thrilled about.. i'm also hoping that a supervisor position opens up shortly because that would be amazeballs! i guess i shall just have to wait and see!

now, the dealio with rey is pretty much the same as always.. we have no idea what is going on! okay, so maybe we do have a little bit of an idea but it's not set in stone! as of right now here is what is looking like it's going to happen and what i'm hoping will happen! due to early release rey could officially be out of the marines on august 15th! yay!!!! not only that, but he'd get 15 days of leave! so basically he'd be done on the 1st and probably drive back to utah on the 2nd! so i could be reunited with my hubby in 3 weeks! ahh! that would be sooo amazing! i'm trying not to get my hopes up too much since with the marines things seem to change and they always seem to screw us over.. but as of right now that is looking to be the plan! are you stoked or what?! i know i am!!

anywho! that's my quick little update! how it was awesome and informative! any questions? hit me up fools!

too many emotions

well, i have less than a week until i leave for utah and i'm definitely having some strange emotions.. i'm excited, i'm nervous, i'm sad, i'm happy! ahh! too many feelings! i'm so sad that this is my last week living in california and i'm going to miss rey, i'm going to miss the beach, i'm going to miss this apartment, and i'm going to miss disneyland! however, i'm so excited and happy that rey and i's real life is about to start. yes, we may be starting out in my parents basement but we will finally be able to start working on our real future and real jobs in utah. i did make a couple of friends here and i'm going to miss them a lot, but i'm so excited to be back with my bestest friends whom i have grown up with and i have definitely missed them! i'm even more excited to be around family! it will be so fun to be able to go to family bbq's and go to sunday dinners and spend holidays with them! as of right now i'm thinking of how this fourth of july will be the last holiday we will spend in cali away from our family! it's so crazy! i wish rey was coming back with me and i'm sad that we will have to once again spend a little time apart but we are pretty sure the longest it will be is a month and a half and since we have phones and skpye it shouldn't be that bad! hopefully it's no longer than a month, but knowing that this will be the last time is making me pretty happy! well, those are a few of my thoughts and since i am on pills i hope that made sense.. if not! oh well! love you lots!
