Best Video Ever

I know this is a little long but I love how he speaks about Military Spouses....I stole this video from Allie over @ My Marine & Me who got it from The Ramblings of A Marine Wife

Merry Christmas!!!

So we ended up not going to Maryland after all, we stood here in NJ. We ended up going over my mom's house & I cooked to invite everyone over to eat. I went all out, I made 2 pans of lasagna, a ham, mashed potatoes, mini croissants, and a cake for desert. Everyone loved it (not to toot my own horn but tooooot toooot...lol) & they are all coming over to eat the lefts overs. 

I really did get mad yesterday because we didn't go to Maryland but I'm over it & we had a great time today. 

My husband made me open my gift because he wanted to see my reaction & I loved it. He gave me a laptop so we can skype when he leaves for deployment next year. He also loved his gift too because I got him the Kinect that he wanted so bad. Now I just wonder what he is going to give me for my Birthday (Jan 2nd). 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!!!

Sometimes I hate the holidays...

Don't get me wrong, I love to spend time with my husband & our family but I just hate the way that things are between my mother & Angel. 

My mother never really liked Angel until we went to Parris Island to pick him up from boot. She was so proud of him & everything. But then we got married & since he is a reservist she saw that he was having a hard time finding a job. We lived with her for 3 months (they were the longest 3 months ever) after we got married. He worked on base for a little while & then they didn't have funds to keep him there. The way that things are with the economy everyone was having a hard time finding a job & it sucked that he was one of those people. 

I always hate being in the middle of everything because my mom would complain to me about Angel & he would complain to me about my mom. Obviously I wouldn't relay what they said about each other to them because that would make them hate each other. 

Now, I'm having a hard time because we are leaving to Maryland tonight to spend X-Mas eve with my mom's side of the family & are coming back on Saturday (X-Mas Day) to spend it with with his father & siblings. Even though my husband doesn't want to go he is going just to please me really. But in reality he wants to stay here in NJ with them, my mom, & me in our place celebrating all together, because he is deploying in a few months he wants the holidays to be special. He says that God forbid & he doesn't come back it witll be the last time he can be with them for X-Mas.

My mom is ok with leaving today but wants to come back on Sunday. So when I called her & told her about the idea she just had to put in her two cents by saying, "Ok that's fine but since we always have to do what Angel says we are coming back on Saturday instead of Sunday but that's fine let's do it." Uggghhhhhh, it's things like that that they say that piss me off sometimes or get me upset because I wish they would have a better relationship. I mean he is my HUSBAND & she is my MOTHER so I can't take sides. She is the only person I have left from my immediate since I've been 10 yrs old. After the accident(I'll explain later in another post) we had in back in 97'.

Well, let me get ready to leave my job & head home, wish me luck for these Holidays.

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you have a great time with your loved ones.

 

My Results Came Out Negative!!!

Ok so I know you guys have noooo idea what I'm talking about so I will start from the beginning. I have always had irregular periods, sometimes it can last about 3-4 days, a month, or even 2 months. I have never had a regular cycle, so I became anemic after some time since I always had heavy bleeding. So about a year & a half ago I went to the Gyno for a regular Pap Smear exam, thinking nothing of it, I went in got it done & came back 2 wks later for my results. Thankfully Angel was with me at the time when I got the results because they weren't good at all. The Dr. sat me & him down (he never missed one of my Dr.'s appts) & she told me that I had HPV=Human papillomavirus. I know that it wasn't sexually transmitted because a wk before Angel had gotten tested for all types of STD's & everything came out fine. I was a virgen when I started dating Angel so there was no way I got it from someone else either. The worst part about it was when she told me, "you have a severe case of cancerous cells & if you don't take care of it now you will have cervical cancer in less then 3 months" that is when Angel & I both looked at each other in shock, fear, you name it we felt it.

The Dr. told me I had to make a decision right then & there, she asked me if I wanted to freeze the part of my cervix that had the cancerous cells (it wasn't promised w/ this procedure that it wouldn't sspread) or have a sme day surgery to take out part of the cervix? I choose the surgery because it was safer & for sure that she can take out all the cancerous cells. So I was in her office Monday & that same week (Wednesday) I was on the operating table. Angel & my mother waited in the lobby until I was done with everything. A week later I had to go back to the Dr to get my results & to tell me how everythng came out. She told me the surgery was a success, she froze the area around the part that part that she cut out from my cervix just to be safe so the cells wouldn't spread. Now all I had to do was come in to see her every 6 months for a follow up.

This all happened in March of 09' & 6 months later it was the last wk of November & it was time for my Pap Smear. Now the only thing bad about this was that the day that Angel left for boot (Dec 7th, 2009) was the day that I would get my results and he couldn't be there for me. He called me before getting on the plane to SC & told me that I better let him know the results in a letter no matter what the news were, & I did. But lucky everything came out fine, it was mildly abnormal but nothing to get worked up about.

The next time I had to get another test was this June that Monday that we came back from our Jamaican Honeymoon & she gave me the same results as the previous check up. Two months after that we went to her office again because I really thought I was pregnant. I got blood work donw so it can be acurate but it came out negative. So this past Monday (Dec 13th) I had a routine Pap Smear & I went for my results yesterday. Everything came out fine it is negative. Now the next step is to try & conceive, so my Dr gave me 3 different pills to help us conceive since she knows Angel will be deploying next May & since I am so abnormal (I haven't had my menstrual cycle in 2 months & again not pregnant) with my period still she is giving us everything she can to help the conceiving process.

So we are going to get started on the whole baby making mission asap...lol....wish us luck. I really do want to have a little bundle of joy when Angel deploys so when he comes back he will meet our baby for the first time.

The Holidays

I seriously love the Holidays. It is such a beautiful time of year to be with the ones tha you love but it is also very hard especially if you have lost family members like my husband & I have in our life. Later on I will post exactly how, why, & who it is that we lost that makes the holidays just a little bit hard for us. Those topics need a post of their own so you guys can fully understand.

But on another note, I'm so excited that we are traveling south to spend Christmas wth my mother's side of the family in Silver Spring, Maryland. Incase I don't write until after Christmas I wish everyone one a safe & happy holiday.
