25 Things About Me
*I originally posted this on Facebook so no one is "tagged" here, but feel free to post on your own blogs if you like =)*
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged . You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
1. I love being an Army Wife, usually.
2. I've been in Japan for over 9 months now, and about half of that time I have been alone.
3. I kinda miss having to pick up after my husband. (i.e. there are no clothes, shoes, work stuff, etc of his laying around the house for me to pick up)
4. When I am mad/upset/frustrated/stressed/etc, I go on a cleaning spree and clean the whole house.
5. I don't like driving in Japan. The narrow roads and bikers/pedestrians who don't pay attention scare me.
6. When I think of driving back in the states, I tend to picture myself driving on the wrong side of the road since that's how we drive here.
7. I would rather take the train around than drive if I can.
8. I am a very picky eater. Which makes it kind of hard when I go out to eat on the economy with friends.
9. I've been in Japan for almost a year and still have not tried sushi. (See #8)
10. I'm kinda sorta addicted to World of Warcraft.
11. My goal is to lose about 100 lbs by the time my hubby gets back from deployment. So far I'm down about 20. Should be more, but the holidays kinda caught me so I have to lose some of that again.
12. I'm working on growing my hair out again.
13. I am not a morning person. I would much rather stay up late than get up early.
14. I've had a cheesecake craving lately that I haven't been able to kick. (Not such a good thing when trying to lose weight)
15. I don't usually drink soda, but I love mixing 7-Up or Sprite with lemonade.
16. If/when we have a daughter, she will be named Kathryn. Kat for short.
17. I like to sleep in one of my husband's shirts.
18. I spray my hubby's cologne on my body pillow and then cuddle with it to make it feel a little more like he's here.
19. I love flowers and often buy them for myself on my way home from the train station.
20. I have been selling Mary Kay for just over a year now and still love it!
21. I am currently a substitute teacher at the elementary school.
22. I tend to watch a lot of movies, because I can't stand the reruns they play on tv.
23. I usually have to have the tv or a cd on to fall asleep at night.
24. My favorite movie is Dirty Dancing.
25. I tend to be pretty quiet/shy until you get to know me. But if you want to see a completely different side of me, let's go shopping. =)

Big Boy Toys
Yup, that's my hubby playing with the tanks. I don't know what exactly he was doing with them, but he was having a good time. =)

Out With The Old, In With The New
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! It is in Japan anyway. It's hard to believe 2008 is over. Now to remember to write 09 instead of 08 on everything. =) Anyway, it's been a year of changes, that's for sure. Some good, some a bit harder. I am looking forward to this year though. Even if it is just for the mere fact that I know we only have 8 more months of deployment. The end feels like it's a little more in sight. It's no longer next year. It is this year! And R&R is just that much closer, as is our big trip back to the states. Granted they are the same time, but still. I'm going to continue/get back on track with my weight loss. Now that the holidays are over all the holiday goodies won't be such a temptation. =) So I am excited for this year. I hope you all are too. I hope it is overflowing with fun, laughter, good times, and blessings for all of you! Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!
I hope everyone has/had a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! We love and miss you all tons! Thank you for all the gifts, cards, emails, etc. It has been a rough holiday season for both Ben and I, and I will honestly admit that I'm glad it's over. With our anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas all within the past month or so, it hasn't been easy. I knew this would probably be the hardest part of the deployment, and I wasn't looking forward to it. But I some how made it through. I have been very blessed with some wonderful friends which made it all a little more bearable. I spent Christmas Eve at the branch president's home with some friends, and had Christmas dinner at my visiting teacher's home with some others from the branch and the missionaries. So I was taken care of. It's still not the same as being home with family or even here with my husband, but at least I wasn't alone. I came to a realization, I guess you could say, this year. Each year we talk about the Nativity Story, but we often don't talk about what happened in the Book of Mormon at the same time. Samuel the Lamanite prophesied of Christ's birth, and then the Nephites saw the signs. So it wasn't just in the Bible lands that people knew of Christ's birth, and I think we often overlook that. Or at least I do. So that has been a great reminder for me. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Harlem Globetrotters
One of the great things about living overseas with the military is all the people that come to perform for us for free. Tonight it was the Harlem Globetrotters. It was so much fun. And it was even better being a deployed spouse. They had seats reserved for us right behind the team and afterwards we had a group photo taken with the guys (as soon as I get a copy I'll post it). Plus I got a mini basketball which I was able to get the team to sign. It was pretty sweet. The pics aren't the best, as the lighting wasn't that great in the gym, but I did a little photo editing so you'll get the idea. =)
