Little Update, Veteran's Edition

Hello lovelies!

Here I am again, blogging from my phone because.....dun dun dun, we don't have internet right now. Sailorman and I have verizon internet, and have currently used it all up. Me on facebook, blogger, pintrest, failbook, and fmylife.com lol. His on airsoft forums, and gun sites. Yeah, we're both insanely nerdy in very different ways. Yay for my data plan, that's all I can say.

On to what's been going on with me. This weekend is the VIB Sephora 20% off sale.  Sweet deal if you ask me, and Sailorman was so sweet in coming to the mall with me and hanging out in sephora with me while I browsed. Speaking of which, we ran into Mr. And Mrs. Y from Miles Behind Me! It was so random, and Mrs. Y and I have been talking for about a year via FB and text, so to see her and meet her hubs was a treat.

This weekend Sailorman is heading out to skeetshoot tomorrow, airsoft games Saturday, and possibly Williamsburg Sunday/Monday! I'm excited, seeing as how I've never been :) I hope you all have an amazing Veteran's Day weekend, I know I'm going to be cherishing my time with my amazing husband!

Our Weekend.

This weekend, Sailorman went Airsofting Saturday, then it was videogames and football all day Sunday. Airsoft is his new thing. He started this absolute obsession when he was deployed, and I was on board, much to his surprise. I knew that this would keep him active, which is great, and it would keep him from drinking. Not that he's a drunk or alcoholic by any means, but before I moved out here, and he was still hanging out with his old roommate Chris, let's just say that bars and rather large bar tabs were the story of his weekends. Now while Airsofting isn't cheap by any means, I'm positive that in the end it's worth it. Except for the fact that I'm pretty much alone on the weekends. That part is slightly sucky.

 I think Sailorman was feeling rather sorry for me last night, so he actually came out and hung out with me for an hour in the living room. Might not seem like much, but it was nice to watch The Big Bang Theory with him, say the lines before the actors did, and just laugh together. It's those little tiny moments that warm my heart, and make me realize just how lucky I am to have married my best friend, the guy who loves all my dorky, nerdy ways. The guy who kind of shook his head and laughed when I said I wanted to see The Muppets when it came out, then about an hour later came out of his room, looked at me and said "baby, we HAVE to see The Muppets when it cames out! It looks effing hilarious!" After I was done mocking him, it just made me happy that we (for the most part) enjoy the same stuff.

So how's married life? It's fun, it's frustrating, and it's absolutely wonderful. There truly is nothing like seeing someone, faults and all, and loving them unconditionally.

How's Married Life?

The first question EVERYONE I talk to asks me. I honestly don't know how to answer it. It feels.....normal. It feels like we're still us, nothing has really changed, except for the fact that I use my NavyFed card for everything instead of my Amazon Visa (speaking of which, I need to talk to Sailorman about me continuing to use it and just writing my mom a check for what I spend each month, who doesn't love those points you can use???)

Have things really changed? In some ways yes, I'm cleaning up after Sailorman A LOT more. I'm also doing all the cleaning period, which kind of sucks. But I do get the perks of being able to text him that we're out of 'fill in the blank' and can he pick some up after work and he does. It's nice to go to sleep and wake up next to Sailorman. Now that's awesome. This is the longest that we've ever been together straight. Unless you're in a military relationship, I think most people would think how on earth did we think we could get married. I think we've gotten to know each other more through our daily multiple hour phone calls faster than most who spend physical time with their SOs.

So, how's married life? In a nutshell, I want to kill him sometimes, he wants to kill me sometimes, but we're pretty gaga over each other. It's how we've always been, and hopefully, how we always will be.
