It is complete!

I am so excited! My website, www.beadsandbracelets.com, is finally completely redesigned. It has taken quite some time and much longer than I ever thought it would. But it is finished! And I could not be happier. The idea for that website began when I made a My Hero bracelet for myself when Rob left for [...]

The Best Day of the Year

It’s that time….time for the largest outdoor cocktail party in the world! Georgia and Florida will battle it out once again in Alltel stadium. I’m already preparing to be one hoarse Georgia fan by the end of the night. The fun offically begins at 3:30pm and what I wouldn’t give to be in Alltel stadium [...]

Something I Actually Enjoy About Deployments

So I’m laying in bed last night freezing. Mind you, I have on a hoodie, thick sweatpants, TWO pairs of socks and am covered up by a sheet, blanket and comforter. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m cold when no one else is. My hands always feel like ice unless I have a [...]

A Blast From The Past

We went to our parents’ houses this past weekend for my husband to go deer hunting on opening day. He missed a 6 pt, which I found hilarious considering his job. Suffice it to say, it wasn’t as amusing to him. While we were gone, I called home to check our answering machine and hear [...]

Communication During Deployments

Every time my husband prepares for deployment, I know to prepare myself for sleepless nights. Any of you who are sleeping in an empty bed for the first time in a while know just what I’m talking about with this one. The night my husband left for his first deployment, I was laying in bed [...]

Seven Years

Yesterday, my husband I celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary. He wasn’t here for our 6th so this one was really special to both of us since we were able to celebrate it together. We didn’t do much yesterday other than going out to dinner at a favorite local restaurant. It was nice to be able [...]

Now Showing: The Guardian

I wasn’t entirely sure my husband would go with me to see this movie – you know, the whole branch rivalry thing. But he did surprise me and was looking forward to seeing it. He’s had a few days off from work so we were able to go to the afternoon movie, which is great, [...]
