Going camping!

Geez, I really need to be better about updating this thing!
I feel like an old person...not acquainted with all this new fangled nonsense!

Just kidding, I'm just lazy.

But anyway, life is trucking along, as it always tends to do. Things are actually going really great. First of all, things are all lined up for school. I'm going to have just enough saved by the end of the summer to supplement my student loans, and I'm all signed up for classes! Thank. God. The wonderful administrative staff at my university like to drag their feet/are too incredibly saddled with thousands of students per staff member, that I have to constantly be the squeaky wheel to get any grease. So I've been squeaking my little head off to get things done, and BAM! I have a full schedule. And I'll hopefully be all done by summer of 2013.

Hopefully...Austin is most likely being shipped off to A school around that time. So I'm hoping I won't have to face a long distance relationship...again. I shouldn't complain though. At least my husband isn't getting deployed like many other military wives' husbands. I'm lucky he's in the coast guard and he gets to come home and cuddle with me.


Anyway, the marriage is treating me well. It seems lately I've been loving him more and more; it's possible that it's because our one year anniversary is at the end of this month, but I'm not sure that's quite it. Things have just been really, really good. I came home from work yesterday and Austin had cleaned the whole house, including the refrigerator, and the bathroom. And he had done all my laundry, AND hung it up. I was so impressed. He's been doing it a lot lately too. I've been working a lot more, so on a lot of his days off he has nothing to do really, and he just cleans. It's awesome. And I never ever feel taken for granted anymore. I'm just really happy; things have been going really well and we're celebrating our anniversary on August 1st because he's going to be in Washington on our actual anniversary. We're going to Lincoln City, where it all started.

Oh, and I made him an awesome scrap book of our first year together on Shutterfly.com. I got it in the mail the other day and it turned out SO great. I wanted to do something with paper, because the first anniversary is the paper anniversary. He said he's been working on something...I'm interested to know what it is.

Alright, well, I am off to finish the laundry. Work tomorrow... We're going camping this weekend. His family is having a huge reunion down near Bend. I'm pretty excited to get away from here for a few days. Away from work. I'm excited to see his family too.

Until next time!

Ooh, another addition to my secret marriage blog ;)

Day 2 of 4 days off! (Okay, 3 days off, I worked from 6-3 on Monday, BUT I erased it from my memory. So it's like it never really happened.)

I bought my plane ticket to Portland today, and hubby and I talked last night about the arrangements. We're going to stay in Tillamook so I can kinda get a feel for the town, seeing as that I'll be moving there in a little over a month. And he's going to show me the house he found. I hope it has a big back yard. I really want an Australian Shepherd. They're such gorgeous dogs...

Anyway, he sort of wanted to stay in Lincoln City again but I thought it'd be a better idea for me to get to explore my future surroundings. I'm such a planner, I have to be able to sort of get a head start on getting my bearings. I'm so nervous to move away from the only place I've ever lived. BAH. I'm excited though. I get to be with the man I love. I just have to keep reminding myself of that. I get to be with the man I love.



The court house is open monday through friday, until 5 pm. And my flight gets into Portland at 11:30 so we'll get to the courthouse by like...2 pm probably. I need to look into Oregon's marriage process. I don't even know if there's a waiting period in Oregon or not. I know there isn't one in Nevada, but SOMEBODY ruined the day we were supposed to elope here. So hmpf.





..............Okay I just looked it all up. It's a little cheaper in Oregon, only $50 for the license, and there IS a 3 day waiting period until the license becomes effective. But that's fine. He can get all the paperwork in by August 2nd, and then it'll take about two weeks for it to all be official, and for them to start giving him BAH, and then he can find our house and I can move up! So we're still looking at the end of August, early September at the latest. I'm excited!



I don't know if I mentioned that I put my notice in at work. August 19th is my last day :) I'm so happy. I mean, I still have to work there for another month, which bites, but I'm going to get out soon, and that is so exciting. They treat us all like crap there, so I'm really looking forward to getting the hell out.



Eeee. I'm excited.

This is the building we're getting married in. :)

I'm such a goof. haha

But, damnit! I'm excited :)
