Miscellany Monday

Happy Monday y'all!

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend!

I'm writing random today. You can link up HERE.

{father's day}

I had a great weekend home with my dad for Father's Day! I think my dad had a really good day :)

And the furbabes did too!

{baby shower}

My friend from my Army Reserve unit is having a baby, and her baby shower was Saturday! I had a great time. She got a lot of really nice things for the baby!

{hair cut}


My little man got a huge haircut at the groomers! Our old groomers quit so it had been a long time since he'd been when I finally found a new groomer. He had one too many mats, so it ALL had to go! He looked so different I didn't even recognize him at first!

He went from this...

...to this!

{science nerd}

I am such a total geek! My friend showed me this website where you can find anatomically correct stuffed microbes, bacteria, and viruses! Each stuffed microbe comes with information about the real microbe it represents. They even have STD's! As a Biology major, I must have these :)

{bad blogger}


I've been such a bad blogger lately! Last week I was super busy getting my house ready to have company, and this week I have company! I have felt bad because so many of you have taken the time to leave me such sweet comments, and I have had a hard time returning the favor and responding to them all. I will be doing better, I promise! Thanks for sticking with me y'all!

I hope everyone has a marvelous Monday!

To My Dad

Dad,

I appreciate everything you've done for me more than I could ever tell you. You worked hard every day to make sure I always had what I needed. You did without most of the time so that I could have. You taught me everything I know today about what it means to work hard and to do my best. I know that I survived and succeeded in the Army because of the example that you've always shown me, and maybe a little because I'm a lot like you :) Thank you so much for raising me in a Christian home with values to live by. I love you very much!

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday y'all!

Here's what I'm thankful for today!

I'm thankful that I had a safe drive down to my parent's house yesterday evening!

I'm thankful that my Army Reserve unit is letting me do my battle assembly hours for July early today and tomorrow. This way I get to spend my one year anniversary with my husband. Yep, in a little over a month I will be eating year old wedding cake :)

I'm thankful that I don't have to be at my unit until 0900. It sure beats 0530 any day!

I'm thankful that I'm getting to meet one of my oldest friends for dinner tonight for our usual Mexican dinner catch up. I've know her since I was 5 years old, and we're still close!

I'm thankful that I haven't caught the stomach bug yet that everyone has had. My mom, my sister, and my husband have all had it. yuck.

I'm thankful for Tylenol PM. I might not ever get to sleep otherwise!

And, I'm thankful for my sweet husband!

What are you thankful for today?
