Day 5&6

Day 5: Favorite Quote
"You can give me a million reasons why I shouldn’t have to go through this… I can give you a million reasons why I’m proud to do it." -Unknown.

This is my favorite quote, it explains what i go through as a military wife. It actually means a lot to me.


Day 6: Whatever tickles your fancy

So for whatever tickles my fancy I am doing a July month in review..
I got to see my husband this month, he was still on emergency leave for what we went through in June, so we got to spend 4th of July together. We got to see Blue October in concert which was awesome. Other than that not much has been going on, we our back in deployment mode and I am waiting to hear about a job.
I am looking forward to August though, Im hoping it is a better month.

Day 4: Favorite Book

This might be a cliche or seem silly, but I am a Twilight fan. I loved the books & I like the movies..

So you see, I will say that Twilight is my favorite book. It is really a tie between this one and breaking dawn, but I will go with this one.

Day 3: Favorite TV show

Today is day 3 of the 30 days of me, and it asks for my favorite TV show! This is an easy one for me, Friends is my favorite show, my husband would say im addicted. We own all 10 seasons and I am the type of person who has to have noise in the background, so either the TV is on, a movie is playing or the Ipod is plugged in, but if I ever get tired of something I pop in a friends season and just let it play in the background!!

So if you have never seen the show you are missing out! It is sure to bring you lots of laughs. :)

On a different note,I had a long day! I went to IKEA today, but I didn't get anything it was for our association here, we needed center pieces. We found what we needed, but it was just to long for me.

 I got to talk to my husband today!!! It is always a good day when I hear from him, it is so great that a 3 minute conversation can make everything better. We got to email back and forth for a bit as well, and we got to talk about our future plans. JC's contract is up after our tour here, so we have been discussing whether he will re-enlist or if he will get out, stressful stuff and it is a big decision.

I know we will make the right decision for us.

Day 2:Favorite Movie

now this is tricky for me because to be honest I have 6 favorite movies...

the first one would be...

The Jurassic Park trilogy is one of my favorites!! I can watch these movies over and over again and never get sick of them.

My second favorite movie would be..

 

The mummy trilogy!! As with Jurassic Park, I can watch them over and over again and never get tired of them

I have always taken heat for loving these movies, but I do and I am proud of it!! :)

You have to try everything once..

Happy Monday!!
I hope everyone had a good weekend! This past Saturday was "Parents Night Out" so the childcare center on base was open till midnight, so my friends with kids took avantage of it and us gals went out for dinner, just us ladies! It was nice to go out and have some laughs with the gals, these ladies are awesome & I am sad I didn't get a picture of the four of us.

With living in Japan there is so much to experience, and who knew you could jump full in to a new experience with dinner alone. We had lots of laughs over dinner, and we all tried something new.

this was my meal, it was pork with breading, steamed rice, and Yakisoba! It was amazing, so yummy. Not really a risk since I have had it all before.

We all enjoyed our food and we each ate a little of everything. It was all yummy, we just will leave some stuff out next time!

A friend of mine ordered this yummy looking soup, not knowing she had to cook it herself! Oh and with ordering, there weren't English menus so we just looked at the pictures and decided that way! It is a very nice learning experience.

Finally, it was time for dessert.. now I am a picky eater, so when we ordered a green tea sundae I was already turned off because I don't like green tea, but I tried it and.. well non of us liked it! lol


After dinner we went across the street to a couple stores and looked around, and of course we found some really cool things.


                                     
Wine on tap anyone? None of us have ever seen wine like this so it was pretty neat.
 
 

We have it all wrong, The secret to weightloss is all in the legs! There was half an isle dedicated to these, I should get some and see if they work.

So Saturday night ladies night was a success and we all had a lot of fun! I can't wait to do it again one day. I am so glad I moved here with these ladies and we are all so close.

I hope everyone had a great weekend, and if you had a ladies night, feel free to share your night out!!

30 days of me

So I have decided to start the 30 days of me today.. yay for day 1.

Day 1: Favorite Song

My favorite song would be Alone in this bed by Framing Hanley. The song is about one of the band members fiance that was killed in a car accident, it is a really sad song, but I can listen to it over and over again. In a way you can relate this to what a military spouse/fiance/girlfriend goes through and feels when her husband, fiance or boyfriend is deployed.




On a different note, I am starting my workout routine today and I am a little nervous that I wont be able to stick with it, and I read some bad reviews of the DVD I have so I am going to have to buy a better one in the next week or so.
I hope everyone had a great weekend, and I hope it continues into the work week.

Challenging myself..

Starting Monday, my next 30 days are going to be tough... heres why!

Amber over at striving for 31 has made a challenge called 30 days for me. I have decided to join her in her challenge to better ourselves over 30 days. She goes into more detail on her blog, but basically we are going to better ourselves by eating right, exercising and making time for ourselves. I can't wait to get started.

As well as Ambers challenge, I am joining other women from the Blogfrog community A belle, a bean & a Chicago dog in doing the 30 day shred.. Now my NEX didn't have the DVD so I will be doing the Skinny Bitch fitness bootcamp instead.

 I am really going to push and challenge myself these next 30 days. I am excited about both and I think with the support I will be able to push through and come out victorious the end of the 30 days!

So who is with me?? Any takers?

I will be posting my progess on here weekly, that way I am held accountable to myself.
