I <3 Hugs!

I was sent a hug award by my friend Brittany (over at My Army Wife Life).  And since I love hugs so much I just had to participate.  🙂

The rules for this award are:
One: Tell us about a memorable hug you’ve had. It can be a person, pet, whatever…
Two: “Hug” at least one other blogger or as many as you like!

My most memorable hug is with my husband.  Its actually the one in the banner above (at the time we didnt know the picture was being taken).  He was leaving for a deployment, and it was my first experience with that, and it was incredibly hard to say goodbye to him.  We had gotten engaged only a few days before, and I just wanted to stay with him a little longer.  It has become one of my favorite pictures, and one of my most powerful memories.

Some other lovely people that I would like to Hug are:

Liberal Granola Girl

The Mrs. at Trying Our Best

Mrs. Not-So-Domesticated

To the Nth

Wife of a Sailor

Oh Really??? I do still have a blog?

Something happened, and somehow my blog got neglected.  Oh wait… I know that it is – work.  I’m actually doing a full day’s worth of work at my new job, and therefore not really able to surf the web like I used.  And by not really, I mean not at all.  Some days I’ve been lucky to help my husband in the search for a place to live when we move.  While its nice to have a bunch of stuff to do, I really do miss on my online friends.  Im on twitter or facebook here and there, so I dont feel completely isolated.  But I am not complaining at all, I am liking my new job and things are going well.

We did manage to find a place in San Diego, a very nice condo downtown like we wanted.  SQEEEE!!!  I am very excited about it.  The move is less than 5 weeks away.  Cram – my husband coming home in a week, a garage sale, a farewell BBQ, a vacation to Florida and a cross-country drive with a 2 year old, dog, cat & 2 turtles… well… lets just say we have quite the month ahead of us.  But I am very excited about all of it.

The reality of moving is starting to hit me.  Last week I was grocery shopping and I picked up and put back about 10 things that I wouldnt finish in the next month.  It was an odd realization actually.  I have never lived outside of a 15 mile radius!  This is going to be quite the adventure.

Other than that things have been pretty good and uneventful.  We are missing my hubby, but that is nothing new.  My daughter is growing like a weed and says the funniest things.  I swear I dont know where she gets half the things she says.  I bought a tempur-pedic pillow and it is heavenly.  I am trying to talk my husband into getting an actual tempur-pedic bed.  Michigan is waking up from the winter slumber.  Grass is green, flowers are blooming and trees are getting their leaves again.  One of my favorite parts of the year.  🙂

Well I have to go put little miss I no longer like pants to bed.  I hope everyone is doing well!
