WHO'S STEVE?

So last night started like any other night. I got home from work started cooking & folded the laundry. The husband got home & his best friend came over for dinner. While they were hanging out I did my nails, our friend left and we went to watch tv on the couch. So my husband starts messing with me & tickling me. So during all of that I said please stop at the same time and it sounded like "Steve". So of course my husband starts asking me who the hell is Steve? I of course don't know another Steve besides his friend from the motorcycle club but we call him Country. Anyways, he wakes me up yelling this morning @ 5:30am about an overdraft fee that happened today. I told him to calm down, I transferred money to him from my acct. Then he starts saying that I am trying to make him believe that he said something else when he knows he didn't, just like he says I'm telling him that I am trying to make him believe that he didn't hear me say Steve. I swear to all of you that I have no reason to cheat on my husband. I love that man, then my own life & I would do anything for him. I can't imagine my life without him. I mean there isn't anything else I can tell him to think that I didn't say Steve, so I'm just gonna let him cool off.

P90X

Hello world, so I know that I have neglected you guys, and I am very sorry. I have been so busy lately with school, working out, looking for a new job, and helping my friend redo her new house.

My husband was away for 2 wks from Sept 16 to the 29th (actually 28th) in NC. He surprised me and came home a day early, which was awesome but I looked like total crap when he knocked on the door, plus the house was a total mess....lol. I was still happy I was able to sleep with him again so it didn't matter.

I did the Insanity/Brazilian Butt Lift hybrid program for a good month but got bored with it, so as of Monday I started P90X Round 1 Week1. Im doing the Classic program for these next 13 wks (Oct 1st-Dec 29th) then after that I will start the Lean program in Jan after taking a wk off of exercising. I will be posting progress pictures here to let you guys see my journey, so let's see where I look by Dec. Wish me luck.



P90X Round 1 Week1 Day3



If you guys want to change your life too just ask me how or go to Team Beach Body.

Brazilian Butt Lift & My Sweet Husband

Hey everyone, I know I have been slacking on my blogging but don't worry I haven't about you! So I started a new weightloss program with my friend yesterday. I was only able to get through the first month of Insanity. I love it but since she wants to workout with me I stopped it for now. I am eating better and working out more then ever. I had stopped working out for about 3 wks and wasn't eating too well so I gained 5 lbs that I lost. I was so devastated when I say the # on the scale go up.

So I decided to become a Beach Body coach and ordered Shakeology & BBL from their trial packages. So if anyone wants to order anything from beachbody let me know & you can buy it through me.

On another note, I just wanted to share how sweet my husband is; while I am at work a delivery guy from Edible Arrangements comes in asking for me.....I had the most puzzled look on my face...lol. My husband sent me a beautiful arrangement of chocolate covered strawberries with a sweet note & 3 ballons. I love when he does sweet things like that just because he felt like it.

I love you babe!

Haven't Really Talked to Him =(

So we are going into the 2nd week of my DH being away at 29 Palms & we haven't really talked except for early morning July 5th. I got in from watching the fireworks with my friend Jessica & her BF Alejandro around 10:45pm. I decided to do Insanity before bed so I did it and right after got in the shower. While I was finishing up I heard someone calling on Skype it was the hubby. I got to talk to him for about an hour and half. I was a very happy wife when I got off the phone & went to sleep. It was so good being able to hear his voice & see his sexy face.

I can wait until he is home, and according to him he told me yesterday in a quick text that he should be back in Jersey in 2 days. Which is sooner then they were supposed to come back so who really knows because I haven't spoken to him at all since.

Besides not being able to get in touch with the DH I haven't had a bad time alone. This past weekend I spent it in the pool with family & friends. I got a little color on me.

Then yesterday my best friend Kim (Partna) & Ary came over for dinner. it was the first time I cooked since Angel has been gone. Then we watched Teen Wolf while drinking a glass on wine....lol....we had a good time & I needed that because I was really missing my DH yesterday.

Hopefully I get to talk to him tonight (fingers crossed).

Celebrating Our Anniversary

So since Angel got home from work late on our anniversary last Monday, we are going to celebrate it on Saturday. He said we can do anything that I want, so since the state fair starts on friday we are going to do that during the day. Then later on in the day we are going to have dinner where we had our wedding reception. It should be a good day and weekend.



Our 2 yr Wedding Anniversary!

Two years ago today I said, "I Do" to the love of my life, other half, Best friend, & Hero. Of course we argue & get on each others nerves sometimes, but I wouldn't change my life for anything in this world. I can't believe these 2 yrs have flown by but I can't wait to keep making memories with you. I can't wait to see what God has in stored for us, but as long as I'm with you I don't care. Happy 2 yr Wedding Anniversary Baby, I love you!!! — with Angel Camacho.

 

Relaxing Weekend

I think the hubby & I had one of the best weekends ever in a long time. We did absolutely nothing but hangout with each other. We went to visit my mom on Friday for an hr, then came home to watch South Park on Netflix. Saturday morning we ran errands until we had to meet up with my father-in-law to look at cars for him. Then came home to relax and enjoy the rest of the day. Sunday I went and tried to go visit my friend who is in a state prison but since the guards always come up with new stupid rules I couldn't go in, so my mom and her friend went in while I waited outside. Then came home to my wonderful husband and relaxed some more. I waited until he was done playing on his Xbox and then went to Applebee's to eat dinner.

I can't complain of my weekend because we had an awesome time together even if all we did was lounge around.....lol.

Why Are Men So Insecure?

So I got a text from my husband yesterday morning & he starts telling me that he feels that there is something not right. I ask him what does he mean, things not right between us or me? Of course, like always he says its me, that this weekend while he was at drill and he called me that I wasn't paying attention & asking a lot of questions to make it seem like I was pay attention.

Like I tell him time & time again, I have been hurt before & have also been cheated on by a previous ex just like he has, so I know what that feel likes & I would never want to make him feel like that as long as I'm with him. He is the love of my life, I would go crazy if something were to ever happen between us, he is truly my soul-mate, my one & only, my prince charming in combat boots, my hero. Like I told him if he is insecure then that is something he has  to work out because I have never given him a reason to feel like I am doing him dirty.

But when he came home tonight we talked it out, had dinner, had our quality, & made love before going to sleep. It was one of the best nights we have had in awhile.

He might get on my nerves & want him to leave me alone sometimes but that man truly is my rock & wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.

I love you Mr. Camacho

I've Been MIA Once Again.....

Hey everyone, I'm sorry that I have been gone for a while, but I promise I will be back on the regular. The holidays came and went, so did my 25th Birthday on the 2nd of Jan. I can't believe that I didn't post anything on here to update you guys on how I'm doing. Well I am going to school again, my first day was on the Jan 17th. I'm attending online classes at Ashford University for Education Studies. I will finsih my first course on Monday and I am getting an A so far. I'm supposed to finish with my Bachelors Degree in Dec of 2015.

Our friend Andy that went w/ me & our family to Parris Island to pick up my husband from boot just graduated from boot camp himself. But he couldn't go into the Marine Corps so he went Army. My husband & I were unable to go to his graduation because it was right smak in the middle of the week. Since I just started at my job I still didn't have personal days & if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid. So what we decided to do was save money  go to his AIT graduation in Ft. Jackson, SC in May.  

This past Tuesday was Valentine's Day. My husband are not really big on the whole holiday, but I decided to make a special dinner for the both of us and enjoy in some desserts that I also made. 

Steak with garlic potatoes along with shrimp seasoned in basil, garlic, & red pepper flakes, cooked in white wine.

Chocolate covered strawberries & cupcakes.

Well I will finish here because I have to finish my quiz for school.

Enjoy the rest of your night everyone.

Our First Thanksgiving At Our Place

Well as you guess got from the title we had Thanksgiving at our place this year. We finally have a big enough place to have people over to enjoy the holiday. We had 16 people in total all together, I was running around like a kitchen without a head all week & working. But in the end it was all worth it, just to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my husband, my mother, & the rest of the family. We even had a surprise come from NC. My husbands cousin came for Thanksgiving and his wife went to Florida to see his family. 


All in all it was a great day with a lot of ups and downs but we loved have Thanksgiving at our place for the first time. 

Wordless Wednesday Video

I know that today is wordless wenesday & I usually only put up pictures but this is just to funny to pass up....

I thought I really wanted to get married.....lmao!!!

Happy Birthday Mr Camacho & 100th Post!

Today is my husband's 27th birthday & I can't be with him to clebrate yet thanks to the good ol' Marine Corps. He is still out in the field & won't be back until Saturday. Thank God it is this week because Admin had messed up the bus contracts & he had told me that he might have to stay for another week because the contract said they had to be picked up the 29th instead of the 22nd. I swear when he told me my heart sank, but I'm so happy that it was all worked out & I get to pick him up on Saturday & celebrate his Birthday.

I love you hunny I hope you make the best out of today with your brothers in arms!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS MY 100TH POST!!!!

I'm so happy that I have become friends & have come to get to know so many Military Wives. I even meet a great friend from the bloggy world. She even came out to my place for dinner & have a few laughs. We have become so close & I am glad that I was able to find a great friend in her.

My 4th of July Weekend Recap

Hey bloggy world!!! Sorry I haven'twritten for a while but I have been reading all your blogs. So I had a great 4th of July, we were supposed to go to the go to the NJ State Fair on Friday but ended up knocking with the hubby while watching a movie on the couch.

Saturday we went to Staten Island so babes can get numbers for the payments he will be making for when he buys a bike. He is so excited to get a motorcycle. But just his luck the motorcycle store was closed for the holiday weekend. Went to another motorcycle mall here in Belleville, NJ actually only 5 mins away & got all the info he needed. We should've just went there in the first place...lol. But it was a good adventure & time in the car going to Staten Island. 

Later on that night my goddaughter came to sleep over while her mommy went out on a date with her boyfriend. We were getting a lil practice with having kids because she is only 6  months. We had a good time playing with her & so did our puppy Hope.

Sunday our goddaughter was picked up & we just had a relaxing rainy day at home. We tried to go see Bad Teacher but the movie theater was too crowded & couldn't find a parking so we just went home. We got all our stuff ready for the lake on Monday.

Yesterday we got up around 5AM to be at the SIL house at 5:30AM so we can be on our way to the lake. We had to wait until 8AM to get in to the park & until 10AM. We had a great time, with family, food, music, friends & the sun (which by the way I got burned :(.....it hurts). We came back home early enough to rest & get ready to go see the fireworks at the local high school's football field. We took the puppy & she was terrified I felt so bad for the lil miss.

Sorry it got so long but I haven't updated you guys in a while.

PS~Things with the hubby & I are great, & this time apart that he will be out in the field for 2 1/2 wks will just make us stronger.



Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Us!!!

As you can tell from my title yesterday was my 1 yr Wedding Anniversary & on Monday it was our 5 yr anniversary. I can't believe that this year has gone by so quick. 

I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful caring husband. I couldn't have asked for anyone better, he is truly my best friend, my soul-mate, & my one & only. I'm sure that my father had something to do with him & I seeing each other that night in the Walgreens parking lot....hehehehe. He spoke to the big man upstairs to send me a great man to take care of me & he did his job.

Unfortunately, we are not going to spend it together because the good ole, Marine Corps decided he had to go train THIS weekend. But he said he is going to make it up to me so I hope that happens...lol. I'm getting a good taste of  how our future is going to be while he is in the USMC, even though we couldn't celebrate together this anniversary, I wouldn't trade my life for anything in the world & hopefully we get to celebrate many many more anniversaries together. 

I LOVE YOU MR. CAMACHO!!!!


06/11/10 FOREVER & ALWAYS

My Weekend In Maryland

I had an awesome weekend with my family, to bad my hubby had drill this weekend so he couldn't go (boo!!!).

Anyways, my mom & I left for our road trip on Thursday night. We were going to Maryland for my cousin's graduation from The University of Maryland. She graduated with a Bachelors in Criminology & Criminal Justice. I'm extremely proud of her for completing her dream.

The ceremnoy was awesome, I took lots of pictures, then we went to the house to set up for her party in the night. We partied like there was no tomorrow cause according to some people Saturday was supposed to be the end of the world so we did it up until 3AM.

Since we didn't die on Saturday the whole family just lounged around all day recovering from our hangovers just talking & joking around.

Sunday I had plans with my husband bake in NJ but since my mother decided to change our leaving time from 1PM to 5PM those plans went down the drain. I was so pissed but it all went away when I saw my husband that night.

 

Now I leave you with a picture of my mom, me & the graduate.

 

 

Im so proud of you lil sis!!!! You did it!

To Leave or Not To Leave......?

So I have been playing around with the idea of leaving my job at the preschool for a job in my career field which is Medical Billing. I went to school for this & worked in my field for about only 1 year after I graduated school. For some reason or another I was fired unjustly. I was on unemplyment only for 3 months until I found this great job that I am truly greatful for in every way. I love my co-workers, my job, my boss, my hours, the kids, etc. The only downfall is the fact that we don't know if we are going to have a job in the summer because our governor Chris Christie is trying to cut all funds from the preschools saying they are unnecessary & I won't ever get a raise.

My husband & I actually started talking about this situacion on Saturday & he was bringing up a lot of good points. He knows very well that I love waking up to go to work everyday but we recently found a new place & have to buy furniture so that is holding us back for another 2 months on buying my husbands car. We can't continue with the 1 car situacion even though we make it work. So we decided that I would start looking for a new job but if I don't find anything by the end of July I will continue working at the school until the follow summer. 

Wish my luck in this new journey that I am about to embark on now. 

PS~ I started looking on craisglist.com for  Medical Billing jobs & I already found 2 that would pay me btwn $17-$20 starting, that is waaaaaaaaay more then what I'm making now ($12.56). I'm gonna see if I talk to my boss today & start sending out resumes after I fix it.    

 

Hubby's SOI Grad 5/21/10

Ok, so I posted about my hubby's Family Day & Graduation Day on Parris Island, SC now it's time for his SOI journey.

We made it back from SC around 2AM the day after Angel's graduation day. I loved having him home but did get a lil annoyed that I had to share him with other people...lol. Well when he was home on his 10 day leave, we decided to go to the court house & get married. It was a quick ceremony and no one was there but his dad, my best friend Kim, and his best friend Andy. We didn't tell anyone in our family that we were getting married except for our immediate family because we were still doing the big church wedding 3 months later. 

A few days later I had to drive my NEW HUSBAND to JFK Airport so he can leave me again for 2 months this time for School Of Infantry = SOI. That day sucked, I mean it wasn't as bad as when he left for boot but it still sucked nonetheless.

Hubby & I @ JFK Airport on 03/15/10

So I got to talk to my new husband alomst every night while he was in SOI. The only week I didn't get to hear his voice was the first time he went to the field. It was horrible since I got used to hearing his voice I was feeling lonely again. But I started writing & mailing him letters just like I did in boot. That helped me so much. I still remember how I felt when he was finally able to talk to him when he got back to the barracks. Well, the wks past & I kept planning our big church wedding while he was in SOI. I got to talk to him all the time & got texts during the day. I loved it. It was so much better then boot. 

The week before graduation I asked my mom if I can borrow her car to take a road trip with my best friend Kim aka Partna In Crime. She of course said yes and we thought we were gonna embark on that 10 hr drive alone & have the best time of the world.....WRONG!!! Because my father & brother-in-law decided to come along. I mean I doon't blame them but we kind of just want to go alone...lol. I still love them though, & we still had a good time. 

Can't you tell we had a blast...lol....love that girl.

Well, we finally arrived on base around 4:30AM we slept in the SUV as best as all 4 of us could....all cramped up. Then around 6:30AM we woke up and got ready to see my Marine and the ceremony that would start shortly. I loved seeing my man after 2 months, I meet some of his friends that wanted to meet me for some odd reason...lol. We had a good time while we were there looking at all the weapons before the ceremony started.

   



We were all able to talk for awhile and he was able to show us around a lil. Then he had to go get in formation to start with the whole ceremony. There was a lady there that went to graduation dressed liked she was going to the club, by the way she was standing and everything you can tell that she wanted to get all the attentions from the Marines, which she succedded in doing....lol. It was so bad that I had to take a picture of her to share with everyone back home....lmao!!



See what I mean...hahaha

The ceremony was really short and straight to the point. After everything we went to the barracks to laod up the car again and be on our way back to Jersey once again, we hit so much traffic and just wanted to get home. But over all everything was good and we had no problems. We got home around 10PM.  

  

First hug after 2 months

Just hanging out waiting for the ceremony to start

Another day I'll post about our wedding...lol.

More About Us...

Ok so I said that I would write a better introduction later, well here goes.....it is going to be a long post so please bear with me....

My husband Angel and I meet about 7 yrs online but didn't meet in person until 4 yrs ago. We each had our significant other when we first meet on a local website so we never spoke about meeting up or anything. Funny thing is that we both lived in the same city all our lives, he went to school with all my childhood friends and even went to the same High School with one of my closest cousin. Until that warm day in April of 06', we just happened to be at the same place at the same exact time....but we still meet then. (I know I know, you must be asking ok then how is it that you meet 4 yrs ago on that day....hold on I'm getting to the good part...lol). Well, as I am coming out of the pharmacy w/ my motherI see this real attractive guy, but I just smile at him and keep it moving. When I get home I get on AIM & receive a message.....and guess who it is.....yup you guessed it it was the guy in the parking lot....Angel my online friend for 3 yrs. He described exactly how I looked that day down to a T and said that I smiled right at him. The thing was it was kind of dark and I couldn't really see his face. He told me that he saw me and just knew that I was the girl that he befriended 3 yrs ago online. So I gave him my phone # and decided to see a movie a few days after that and he have been together ever since.

After 3 1/2 wonderful yrs together Angel decides to join the Marine Corps. So in we go to the recruiting office and he gets all the information he wanted and the recruiters told him what he needed to do to leave asap for Parris Island. He took me along with him when he went to the office because he wanted me to know everything that would go on in a Marine's life. Angel wanted me to be ok with everything since I was going to be alone for some time while he went to boot and soi. Yes my husband's MOS is Infantry 0311...yippey for me....lol....make me worry even more. That was all in July of 09', in September Angel decided to propose. It was so funny how everything played out because we got in to a huge argument the day before the day he proposed. On September 7th, 2009 around 7PM he called me and I told him that we needed to talk about what we had argued about the day before. He took me to see the NYC skyline, it was beautiful. We were talking and he happened to slip the ring into my favorite bag of candy. I asked him for some and spilled it on my hand, then all the candy fell out in my hand along with the engagement ring which was covered by all the candy. That is when I looked up and he was on his knee and asked me to marry him. Which of course I said yes.

Well, after all the Marine Corps things Angel had to do he finally came home to me so we can get married. June 11th, 2010 was the happiest day of my life. We have been married for 4 months only but they have been the best 4 months of my life. I couldn't have asked for a better man to marry. He always puts me first and does everything to make me happy. I love him to death and will do anything to make him happy.

Forever ever and ever babe.
