No way, no how, NO McCain!

I hope everyone regrets their choice for Obama after hearing Clinton's speech last night. She is just what this country needed, not Obama, not McCain, but Clinton. I dont care if they have similar views of things, Hillary's compassion is what makes her the better choice, just sad it is too late for this election, but we always have 4 years from now :)

FYI, I like Obama BUT Clinton wasa much better choice

I had Ruby for a little while yesterday and I wanted to share these pics I took of her :) I just think she is so precious!

Sweet Moment

Saturday I offered to watch my best friends 1 month old, Ruby. As soon as Meagan left Ryan completely took over with Ruby. He fed and burped her then he put her to sleep. Did all this while watching drag racing of course :) Even though the moment was sweet , it made me think of the moments like that he missed with Adrien, I wish he never had to miss anything.

The kindness of strangers

So last night we decided to go out to eat to get some family time outside of the house. We picked a really great Japanese restaurant that I LOVE! We thought Adrien might enjoy watching the guy cook, which he did. Well anyways, the table seats 8 so it was us and a family of 6 at our table. They were from Michigan in town visiting their daughter. Well the dad was sitting next to Ryan and they started talking and it came out that Ryan was in the Army and the guy automatically thanked him for his service. He asked about his tours to Iraq and Afghanistan and stuff like that. Well the dinner was about to end and the man slipped Ryan $20 under his plate and of course Ryan told him that he couldn't except it and the man insisted that he take it, he even said he would pay for our entire bill if he could and the $20 was the least he could do. So we ended up paying $20 for a Japanese dinner, which is great considering our bill would have been $40 for 2 people :)

This actually isn't the first time this has happened either. We went out to dinner in Mebane with Ryan's aunt and uncle to celebrate him being home back in April and his aunt knew the manager because they go there so much and she told him what we were celebrating and he let us eat and drink for FREE. We had a $75 bill that he let us have on the house, I couldn't believe it. Even though these strangers are so generous, Ryan really don't like all the attention being put on him like that. I guess you view all of this differently through a soldiers eyes. They really do see it as their job and have a hard time being put on the spot like that, he doesn't feel like he is any more special than anyone else I guess. But really, him and all the soldiers that fight for our country are extra special to me :)

CRAZY

This stuff with Russia and Georgia is kind of scary to me, they say they aren't sending US troops over there, but what if they decide to? The thought of that scares the crap out of me.

A little off topic, but those Chinese gymnasts are NOT 16!

Oh, and I don't feel like making dinner, ugh!

I dont like this!

I believe I am the only person in the world that does not enjoy being a stay at home mom. It really has nothing to do with Adrien, I love being with him and being the one to take care of him, but I hate sitting at home!!!!!! I hate this stupid routine that I am stuck in, and to make things worse I have had to cut back on my addiction (shopping) so we can save some money, double UGHHH!! I developed this huge addiction because of the deployment, all I did was shop to keep me busy, and I probably did this everyday, it honestly made me forget about everything and made me feel better, and I don't use the word "addiction" lightly, I seriously had withdraws when Ryan came home.

If I wanted to get out of the apartment then I would probably be stuck working in a store or some place where all my co-workers are 16. Been there done that, I want something more for myself but I have no idea what. I never knew what I wanted to be when I "grew up" when I was little, and I still have no idea! I think I'll just join the Army......ok, I'm really not serious with that :)

Oh yeah, 2 more days until my baby boy's first birthday :) All I have to say is, WOW ::sniff::sniff::
