Memphis, Tennessee - May 2010

Catching up on a little backlog...

AJ and I took a trip to Memphis for Memorial weekend and I had an "interesting" time. We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites at Beale Street. The hotel was nice and in an excellent location if you enjoy the nightlife and being in the heart of the city.

I found Memphis to be a little ghetto and not really a place I would visit twice, but it was a nice trip and I did have a good time for the most part. As a disclaimer, I was very early in my pregnancy and a bit hormonal and exhausted when we took this trip.

Oh me oh my, time sure does fly!

Okay I need a spanking... I completely forgot about this blog and I have gotten so caught up in this life of mine. A lot has happened since my last post, but the best and most important thing of all is that AJ and I are expecting! Yes, I am 7 months pregnant with a son on the way. It is weird to love someone so much that you've never met, but I am crazy in love with this life growing in my belly and I am truly enjoying pregnancy.

I'm currently on bedrest so I have a little time to kill and will probably work on this blog a bit.

Where has the time gone?

Happy New Year!

I have been busy! Since my last posting AJ and I have left Germany and are now living in the St. Louis area. The move has been fun, but we have been so busy trying to get settled and back to “normal”.

A few highlights from the past few months:

Our journey back to the states started with delays, long layovers and even longer flights. We made the best of it and managed to have a little fun!

Our flights went something like this, Germany, Baltimore (stayed the night), Chicago and St Louis.
We only stayed in St. Louis for one day before the real fun began and we headed to Cali to start our "vacation". I think I just vegged out this week and hung out with family because I did not take one picture from our time in Cali.

After about a week in L.A we headed to Cancun to relax and just enjoy each other. I had been looking forward to this trip for soooooo long and we ended up being a little disappointed in how everything turned out.

Our hotel had construction going on, so the beach was pretty much off limits and we constanly heard noise from the trucks and workers on the beach. We ended up switching rooms and made the best of it. The food and drinks were delicious, so this kind of balanced things out.

Some random pics of us and the Hotel!

Our last stop before heading "home" was to Vegas. AJ absolutely loves this place, so I threw him a 40th birthday party in the Boulevard Suite at Planet Hollywood. It was a lot of fun to plan and it turned out quite nice.

High School Reunion

So, last weekend I attended my 10 year high school reunion in California and had a blast. It was great seeing old flames, friends and even teachers.

Here are a few pictures from the night...

Quick Little Update...

Just thought I'd share a few pictures from a little weekend trip AJ and I took not to long ago. We went to Rudesheim, which is about an hour away so it was local, but it was very relaxing and romantic.

Where would you like to go?

As our time here in Germany begins to dwindle down to its last day, I've been thinking of the places that we must see before we leave Europe.

AJ and I came up with the idea of us each making a list of our top three "must see" places in Europe and to make it a priority for us to visit them before we head back to America.

Here are the three that I came up with:

1. Switzerland
2. Prague
3. Disneyland Paris : )


So, my question to you is "Where would you like to go?"

What top three places in the world would you like to visit?

I'll go first:

1. Australia
2. Fiji
3. New York

My Life as I Know it…

My Life as I Know it…

I’ve received a few e-mails asking me questions, so I figured I’d share some things about me and my life with the world.

First of all I’m in the military, I’ve been in the Air Force for about 9 years now and Uncle Sam and all of the wonderful tax payers of America are the reason I get to travel and live the wonderful, although not so glamorous life that I live.

I love my job and I am truly proud to serve my country – the military has its ups and downs, but I’ve experienced more good then bad and I absolutely love my job.

I’m currently in school and working towards my B.A in Communications with a minor in Sociology. One of my biggest regrets is not finishing up my degree sooner, but it is what it is.

School is my number one priority right now – we’ll be heading back to the states this year, so I’ll be buckling down and hopefully walking across that stage within the next year or so.

My ultimate goal is to complete my masters degree before my 35th birthday.

My Mom recently went back to school and got her bachelors degree, so she is my motivation and inspiration. I am so proud of her!

I’ve recently taken up photography. I’m hoping to take a class when we get back to the states, but for now I’ve just been doing a lot of reading and trying to figure out how to work my camera.

---
I’m a Golden Girls fanatic, I just can’t get enough of these ladies and I hope that when I reach the golden years of my life, that it is just as fun and fabulous as these women.

That's all I can think of at the moment, but if you have any questions ask away...
