Updates Again

To my complete and utter surprise, I still have folks visiting this page so I thought I’d give a mini update on what’s going on with me lately:

I’ve been super busy these past few days. Squall was here for two weeks and we took an amazing cross country trip. It was such a blur honestly.

I’m excited to share that I’ve started a new blog that’s going to focus completely on health and fitness. Here is the link to it.   Please check it out. It’s brand spanking’ new and it’s so uber special that the blog also has it’s own Facebook page! Again, please check it out because I’ll be giving away freebies on the FB page. I look forward to sharing that new journey with everyone!

~Always,

Naomi

The BIG News!

Ok, I’ve been super bad and super busy lately because..

Squall did the unthinkable.. predictable? ..

HE PROPOSED! <3

And that’s not all.. We’re getting MARRIED in TWO DAYS!

Ahh!

He arrives tomorrow night and told me he’d planned on proposing the night he came in and asking me to marry him the next day! Thank goodness he gave me a two week notice!

I am BEYOND ecstatic to see him since it’s been FOUR months since we last saw each other.

As for the proposal story.. Well, he’s supposed to do that tomorrow so I’ll have to update the new blog (sorry, nothing written on it yet) along with our wedding photos!

This is a complete whirlwind, so crazy, and just so right. I can hardly wait to be his wife..

And I’m so glad we waited to be intimate with one another. We will be husband and wife for our first time. I cannot think of a greater gift to give each other.

PS, yes I’m taking the whole week off from work! Apparently he had been planning this for months behind my back with the help of my family, his family and my friends! I promise to update with tons of details and photos as well!

Out with the old..

and in with the new!

To sum it up?

Getting a new blog and I’ll be sharing the link here soon! Watch for it.. It’s got big news in it ^_~

Unpleasant Surprises..

(>_<)

Yes.. I honestly just had to write that to my landlady. No, I’m not going to go into details.

Sex and Love

Dear Neighbors: I know you’re in love. I’m so happy for you, with the whole getting engaged on Valentines and the cutesy hippie proposal. I’m happy, honest.

But can you please freaking NOT have very loud sex?! You’ve been living here far longer than I have, so you MUST know how thin the walls are. It makes for some awkward moments when I’m trying to fall asleep or talking to Squall via Skype and all of a sudden I scrounge up my face trying to cover my ears as your um.. “moments of pleasure” are played out.

Oh yeah and since I’ve known your girlfriend fiancée since high school and we used to attend Bible/Church related things, it really makes it difficult for me to say “Hi” in the mornings or during my lunch break. Awkward..

 

Dear Ex-Boyfriend: We’ve known each other for well over 10 years. We were friends, sort of dated, it was sort of serious and became friends again.

How is it that every time I get into a happy place with a relationship you come around and decide you want to keep in touch more? How is it that seven years after our supposed relationship, you decide to tell me you’re in love with me? It’s been seven.freaking.years.

You’re not in love with me. And there is not one itty bitty part of me that has any sort of romantic feelings left for you.

I am in love with Squall. Head over heels-heart doing cartwheels-making babies-and living the rest of our lives together-in love.

Squall loves me too. Making me laugh so hard my belly hurts-making me smile so much I’ve got a permanent grin on my face-birds are singing-and life is so beyond amazing kind of love. No matter where he is, he always finds a way to keep in contact with me. We’re both sick and he talks about wanting to be here to take care of me. And do you want to know the best part? When he says, ” I love you, Naomi.” I feel it, deep in my heart and all throughout my body. I can feel when he says he loves me and I know he actually means it.

And no. It’s not appropriate for you to tell me merde like that. Keep that **** to yourself. Learn the boundaries or I’ll delete you from my life. I’ve moved on.

 

 

Spring is coming

And you know what that means. Love is in the air.

Squall..

Do.Not.Freak.Out.

Now that’s that said and done.. Love is in the air. It seems that everyone around me is either getting engaged or getting married so it has me looking at the stuff they are planning since I’ve been asked my opinion on their items.

One of my secret (not so secret now) things to do is to go on this site here and look at the rings that have been purchased for significant others. I like to picture stories about their lives and trying to figure out how the proposals went.

I love hearing proposal stories. I finally met the guy neighbor today and I asked him how he proposed. It was adorable to see his eyes light up and recall the story, which by the way only happened this past Monday!

I never had a real wedding with Seifer and always wanted one so a part of me hopes that one day I’ll be able to have that. Anyway, people happy and in love makes me happy. I am not only happy for their love but for the excitement you see in their faces when they talk about the ones in love.

Speaking of faces.. I might be bringing the photographic part of this blog over to an open blog and you’ll get to see what Squall and I look like. ^_~ .. Once we figure out a blog title and all.

Pure Happiness

Can I begin to tell you, how happy I am?

Life has been a complete whirlwind these past couple of weeks. So much so that I’m actually typing this via the handy dandy iPhone.

* We got a new place! Ah, so exited! I am officially moved in thanks to LB1 and his friends. Who by the way turned out to not be scrawny high schoolers, one had just returned from Iraq and the other was joining the Marines. It was a weird moment to realize LB1 wasn’t so much of a little kid anymore.

* I got a part time job! That’s one reason why I’ve been so busy and haven’t been blogging. After my day job I head right over to my second job, at a very well known tax preparation center, and work there for about three hours.

* I’m working on very slowly putting the house together. I’ve been sleeping on the floor on top of a sleeping bag with two space heaters and it’s been cold! I laughed the first night it happened and when I told Squall he immediately purchased a memory foam mattress and awesome electric heater for me. Heater is supposed to arrive today and mattress should arrive Friday. I’m beyond excited. Speaking of Squall..

* He finally let me open up a special gift. Once I set up Internet, hopefully this week (!) I’ll post photos.

* It seems that no matter how much time passes, I still get butterflies when I see him and when he says ” I love you. ” I’ve got it bad folks.. The love thing? There is no doubt I’m head over heels. Everyone who talks to me says I get a glow when I talk about him. He told me his friends at his old post were giving him for demoting me in relationship status. “Whoa.. Wait. When did I get demoted?” He said I hadn’t but when he would refer to his girlfriend the guys would try to correct him and say “fiancée”. I laughed and told him that they couldn’t correct him when it technically wasn’t true to begin with .

* Squall told Raine to send me a set of pots for cooking along with the most awesome knife set/block. I’ll post photos, promise!

Life is amazing otherwise. I’m working a lot but it’s good. Squall is going through a lot of training so we only have a day or two at most but do manage to touch base at least once a day and I am so grateful for that. We’re really working hard on keeping our communication going and that’s really important, especially considering the distance.

I’ll try to update more often but it uses up my data minutes on my phone.
I sent Squall an ” I was thinking of you ” gift and another one will be on the way shortly. Ooh he also won an awesome contest for Monster, the energy drink , and gets a guitar of of it! I wish I could show you the video he made, you would hear his voice and see his incredible sense of humor. Let’s see if we can work something out.

I hope life is going well with you!

So far away..

I received a bit of rough news today. Or rather, I had to explain to a family member about something that will affect our family. And the one person I want to talk to about this is out of reach right now.

Well, technically I could internationally text him and let him know but if there’s one lesson to be learned while in a military relationship, it’s that you don’t make the service member worry while they’re training, during deployment, etc. So for now, I carry this burden inside of me.

Hopefully it won’t be long and I’ll get to talk to Squall soon but if his schedule is anything like it’s been lately, we’ll only have the weekend together before he has to be gone all week. And I’m sure that as the deployment date gets closer he’ll be away training for even longer. I know that we’re over 5,000 miles away and this is how it has to be. I know that this isn’t the first time it will happen and it won’t be the last. I know that my job is to make sure things are taken care of here and he focuses on the mission.

I know this.

But it doesn’t make it suck any less. I don’t have him here to kiss away my tears. I don’t have him here to hold me throughout the night. And it sucks.

So, in order to let out every thing that I’ve been keeping inside, I’m going to do what you’re not supposed to. I’m going to say out loud what we normally silence:

I’m scared about moving. I’m scared about living on my own without having a second job to help support me. I’m scared of failing. I’m scared of the news I received today.

I wish that Squall didn’t have to say “Good morning” when it’s my night and “Good night” when it’s my morning. I wish we didn’t have to go to sleep without one another. I wish those kisses he sends me via webcam were really his lips pressing against mine.

Ok, whiny-girly post over. I’m sorry you had to read that.

** UPDATE**

Less than an hour after writing the above post, what happens? I receive a text message from Squall telling me he loves me and when he’ll likely be back in. I immediately burst into tears. Happy ones. I quickly replied thanking him for the text and letting him know I had been needing to hear from him. Right now I’m sure he thinks it’s because I miss him, which I do but he doesn’t know why I needed to hear from him.

But, what are the odds that after a couple of days of not hearing from him, it occurs when I needed him most? I’ve told Squall countless times that it seems that things involving us are not coincidences. Tonight is just further proof.

Randomness..

..Or how I spent my Saturday morning:

* Avoiding the strategically placed videos of Fox News that Squall would just “happen to be watching” while on Skype with me. (He’s trying to convert me using cute cuddly fuzzy animals videos)

* Teaching Squall the difference between cheerleaders and dance team members. I told him to keep going but he wasn’t going to win it since I was one at one point in my life and he reluctantly gave up.. eventually.

* Teaching Squall some Spanish and how to roll the ” R “

* Paying some bills

* I got a friend request on Facebook from one of his friends

And oh yeah..

* Both of us finding out we were married to each other.

Wait. What?

All I remember is him going “Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!”. I was puzzled and once he informed me I looked down at my hand, then flipped it over to look at my palm, making sure that I wasn’t hiding a ring somewhere and giggling told him, ” Um.. I don’t think so. There’s no ring.” He proceeded to go ahead and do the same thing with his hand.

Apparently his friends started a rumor or were completely misinformed about the situation and it went from: girlfriend, to fiancée, to wife in a few minutes. ( I guess in some ways the Army does move fast, heh.) I asked if his friends hadn’t seen his Facebook page where it says “in a relationship” and not “married to” me for relationship status. He told me, “No offense but it’s not here yet. ” and I told him ” Trust me, no offense taken. I’m good.”  I’m more than ok with the way things are right now.

All this by noon.
