MilSpouse Appreciation Blog Hop!

Welp, I decided to do this blog hop because 1. I loveeee me a good blog hop

and 2. Because I need to get back into the bloggy swing of things. 

Household 6 Diva

Is hosting this hop because of MilSpouse appreciation day, a day which I never knew existed 

but right on I think we totally deserve it!

So let me tell you a tad about myself, and I say a tad because I am quite narcissistic and can go on FOREVER, so I'll edit myself.

My name is Delainey, I am a ripe 21 years old and a year and a half ago
I married a very handsome Sailor
  I am officially a Navy Wife for the next 2 months

That's right

My lovely husband, 

This goofishly tall guy...

who is a corpsman, is getting out in T minus 42 days 

(something like that I am sure my math is terribly wrong)

So what are we going to do in 42 days?

Well, in 20 days we are moving in with my parents

(shutter, no, but in all honesty, I am going to have a blasty blast living with my mom,

 dad and nephew again!)

Thennnnn, in August we are moving to SAN FRANCISCO!

Oh yes my friends, we are doing the city thing.

We will probably we slumming it

But hey! It's all for the adventure!

My husband will be going to film school and I will be finishing up my Bachelors Degree/ Teaching Credential and I will be the bread winner.

(and by bread winner I mean penny winner, because let's be serious, 

I'll probably work some terrible job for a while)

I love

sunshine,

SUGAR

and my fabulous husband

I hate

putting gas in the car

hanging up my towel after using it

and  folding laundry

Alright ladies, so who is going to join the hop with me? 

And if you are coming from the hop thanks so much for getting to know me!

What's Goin' On!

Well, the last time I actually wrote a blog about the happenings of my life I told you we were going to the Grand Canyon, so let's start there shall we?

We decided to take advantage of the long weekend (whatever weekend it was, it was so long ago now I don't even remember!) and see one of the wonders of the world (I don't know if the GC really is a wonder of the world, i'm just sayin...). The first day we got there it was glorioussss! And so beautiful,

Then the next day looked like this...

We could not walk the trails or anything so we stayed in bed and pigged out.

 All in all, it was a fun mini vacay.

At the end of March my family, T and I went up to San Francisco to check out our new home. 

We really ended up just looking at T's school and getting crazy all day and night.

But really...

We partied

And by partied I mean acted like tourists and did all the fun touristy things San Fran has to offer 

Like Trollies!

And Alcatraz!

And the Redwoods!

(please take a look at my nephew creepin' in the corner...)

It was pretty much awesome. It has got me super excited to move there once T gets out of the military.

Which is now only 2 months away!

Which brings me to my next life happening. 

I have begun to pack up our house. 

I packed up the first boxes Monday because at the end of this month we are out of this place.

Packing got me wayyyy to emotional. This was our first house together. So many memories here. 

BOO!

Plus I became an even bigger blubbery baby when I found the box of all the letter T and I wrote back and forth when he was in Afghanistan. 

I have told myself to start packing slowly because at the end of the month I don't want to be a frantic fool, running around my house throwing crap in boxes.

But let's be serious...

That is exactly what will happen. 

What else?!

 I chopped my hair off!

Please excuse this terrifying photo of myself. It was the only one I had and I did not feel like taking one right now.
I go back and forth between liking it and hating it. Today I hate it, tomorrow I will probably like it again. Our relationship is pretty tumultuous.

And lastly, I have officially lost 14 pounds! Go me!

I have no picture of this because I have not reached my ultimate goal yet. 

I started at 135

I am currently 121

And my goal is 110

Once I am at my skinny skinny weight I'll let you feast on the goods. 

Holy cow I miss blogging

Why have I waited this long to partake of the greatness?

But I'm Le Tiredddd

So I started to write this post while I was waiting for my husband (who has recently become a scout leader), to come home from his meeting with his weeble wobbles, or weeble feet, or little feet... WHATEVER THEY ARE. Anyway, sitting here alone, all done with homework (for the day anyway) it got me thinking about my blog and how I have neglected it so.

There is just so many things going on right now. We're at such a big transition point it is exciting yet terribly scary at the same time. Seeing that it is 10pm now (T came home right as I wrote the title to this post) I am going to save all the updates for tomorrow. Because there's a lot of them, and they are BIG.

P.S, We started watching 3rd Rock From the Sun and did you know Tommy is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Oh Joseph, Puberty has  done you great justice...

Disneyland Never Gets Old...

This weekend my mother-in-law was in town at my lovely sister-in-laws singing competition. It was so nice to see them and hear my beautiful S.I.L sing because her voice is so beautiful! On Saturday they got to go to Disneyland so T and I tagged along and it was such a fun day.

Even though we have been to Disneyland about 40 times, it never gets old!

Kickin' It Old School

Yesterday I realized a very strange quirk about our apartment. Let me start out by saying, I love our apartment. I love the floorplan, I wish I could just take it with me where ever I go (just add on an extra bedroom or two), it is in a great neighborhood, management is excellent, I have my own washer and dryer (apparently that is a luxury out here), I could just go on and onnnnn....

Anyway, since I love out apartment so much, when I realized this weird, kind of annoying, oddity, it really didn't bother me too much. I just can't wrap my mind around it...

What IS the quirk you ask?

Our water heater doesn't work when we run the heater in the house.

Weird right? I have no clue if this is really the case but normally our water gets scalding hot. Like, don't even have to boil a pot of water, hot. The only time the water comes out luke warm, when turned up full blast, is when the heater is on.

I never put the two and two together (because this has happened a handful of times) until yesterday. It was freezing in the morning because us weirdos like to keep our windows open at night and in a storm. I had the heat on basically all day because the house was so bone cold I couldn't get the chill out. I had also just spent all day downsizing/cleaning my house, mainly our disaster of a closet. This was hard freaking work, especially lugging around the seemingly infinite amount of sea bags (don't even get me started on my hate for sea bags!), and AMALS we have around the house. 9 hours, 4 cleaned rooms, and 10 loads of laundry later (yes 10, we had friends in town last week, I couldn't keep up! Don't judge...) my body was hurting. So T suggested I take a bath. I thought this was some sexy ploy of his but there is no way he, alone, can fit in the bathtub, let alone with me.

So I draw the water, just for me, and I put the tap on Mordor...

because I like the water to literally scald me as I enter, and I walk away. I come back, all excited to lay in a hot bath and first foot enters...

It's cold! Gah. Well cold to my standards. I get in the tub anyway, because there is no turning back now and yell to my hubby and ask him to boil a big pot of water. Yes, you guessed it. I filled my bathtub with a pots of boiling water from the stove. By the time it actually reached a desirable temperature I was ready to get out.

I kicked it old school for about an hour and filled up a hot tub manually. After that I had two epiphanies.

1. Warm House or Cold Shower...take your pick

2. Golly gee, I am so thankful for indoor pluming. 

I would never bathe if that meant filling up the tub manually!
