Friday Five #14

Here are my answers for Wife of a Sailor's Fill in Friday questions :)

1.What characteristic about yourself has either been strengthened or weakened due to your experience as a Military Spouse?
I never had the chance to live on my own before I was married. I lived with my Mom till I graduated high school, from there I moved back in with my Dad and I met Hunk while I was still living with him. So the first deployment I went though hit me HARD. I had never been alone. And then on top of that I was alone with a 6 month old baby girl. I learned VERY fast how to do things on my own. So my independence improved greatly b.c of the military and I am so very thankful that it did :)

2.What is your favorite vacation spot and why?
I have only been there once, but Hawaii. My family went during the summer of 2005 and it was the BEST vacation ever! I want to go back some day :)

3.If you could have any fast-food restaurant in the food court on base/post what would you pick?
Hummmm this is a tough one ... I think I would want a frozen yogurt or a smoothie place. We don't have either of those in the town so it would be very nice to have one :)

4.Where did you go on your honeymoon?
Sadly we have yet go go on our honeymoon. My Dad got us a hotel room the night of our wedding and that's where we went after the wedding. I hope to one day get to experience a honeymoon -- or even just some time away with just me and Hunk.

5.If you could have any job in the world regardless of money, degree or experience, which job would you have and why?
Hummmm -- well I know most of you would think that I would say photographer, but I would also LOVE to be a flight attendant. LOL, don't ask me why, I just think it would be so much fun to be able to travel and see the world!!

Five for Friday #13

Here are my answers for Wife of a Sailor's Fill in Friday questions :)

1.How do you spend your deployment money, do you save, pay off bills or enjoy the extra money while it is there to buy the things you do not normally have?
SAVE SAVE SAVE!!! Then when he gets home we go and splurge a little. We have only been though on deployment and when he came back we got a new flat screen TV, new living room set, and I surprised Hunk by getting him a boxer pup :) and of course we paid off credit cards.

2.If you could relive one occasion or moment, what would it be?
The day that I met Hunk face to face. You see we met on Myspce, he was in Tech School in Texas and I was in Florida. We talked on the phone a little over two months before we actually met. I will never ever forget the feelings of that day. I went to Oho for a week to visit my Mom and during that time, Hunk had moved to Florida at his new base. After my vacation was over, he was picking me up from the airport. Yes, I was letting someone I had NEVER met before pick me up from an airport -- I look back at that now and think "wow that could have gone VERY wrong" but thank God it didn't! I remember getting off the plane ... walking down the terminal ... seeing him sitting on a chair over by himself ... I got instant butterflies ... he looked up, saw me, and smiled ... my knees went weak ... I approached him and he gave me the best hug EVER ... we kissed and it was fireworks ... it really was one of the best moments of my life and I wish I could go back and relive it :)

3.What’s the worst job you ever had and if it was so bad why did you take it?
OMGsh hands down when I was pregnant with Little Miss I worked at KMart and it was THE WORST job of my liiiiife! There was NO A/C in the store and I actually passed out from over heating :( Needless to say I quit after that!!

4.If you could play any character on TV, who would you be?
Hummmm -- I would love to be Roxy on Army Wives :) I love how feisty she is and how she isn't afraid to speak her mind!

5.If you could become the world’s expert in something, what would it be?
I am going to say time management!! I wish I could manage my time better with two kiddos. There is so much I would love to do with Ains and it's hard to fit it all in when you have a newborn. I know that one day I will be better at it! Thankfully Little Miss is actually pretty good at being patient with me :)

Fill in Friday #12

Here are my answers for Wife of a Sailor's Fill in Friday questions :)

1.Do you set goals for yourself during deployment? What are some of them?
Oh of course! It's one of the things that helps me get though them! Some of my past ones were lose weight (I think we all try to do that while they are gone, b.c lord knows they are over there getting in shape ;), save money, fix up the yard, de-clutter the house...

2.What would you say to someone dating a military guy or gal?
At times it really sucks, but it's so worth it. It's worth being away from them at months at a time, b.c when they come home it's honestly like falling in love all over again. It makes you appreciate this country so much more, I remember the first time I hear the nation anthem during our first deployment and it made me cry knowing that Hunk was out there fighting for our country. It makes your relationship so much stronger, knowing that you can get though anything (literally) and sticking with them makes them appreciate you so much more. Find a good support group, get to know fellow spouses in your boy/girlfriends unit, they will help you out so so much when your loved one is gone.

3.If you have children, how do you prepare them to move to a new place?
Thankfully we have only had to move once, and Little Miss was young enough that it really didn't phase her at all. And with the job my husband has here we will actually be here until he retires (unless he requests to leave, which would mean cross training into another job -- and the only way that will happen is if he has the chance to fly on gunships)

4.Name one hobby that gets you through alone time.
Well having two kiddos defiantly keeps me busy enough! But I try to get involved in spouse groups, going visit family/friends, doing things around the house that I have wanted to do and didn't have the time, planning a getaway trip for the hubby and I for when he returns.

5.What’s the one food you don’t ever get tired of?
OMGsh grilled chicken, steak and potatoes, Korean short ribs, BLTs ... yea I love food lol
