WEEK 8 {Going to TEXAS}

This post is a day early because I am off to Texas this morning!!! Cody has {almost} completed his basic training. I will see him this Thursday. I hope that I have brought enough Kleenex. I was very lucky this weekend and got 2 phone calls from Cody. It always cheers me up so much. We are looking forward to "this" part of the military life being over. Soon will we be able to talk on the phone often and I will start visiting him.
week 8

This week was just as hard emotionally as the last few weeks. It is bittersweet going to see him because our time is limited and the goodbye is going to be awful!!! I do look forward to coming back and having lots of pictures to share. Driving is going to be fun. My friend Dan and I are taking 2 days to get there. I can't wait to see my most favorite person in the world, my husband Cody. :)

I won't be back till March 9th! I hope everyone has a great week!!

LIME GREEN BATHROOMS

Something happened to me in the last week. I fell in love with the color green. Now don't get me wrong, lime green has always been a color close to my heart!!! Suddenly though I find myself wanting to redecorate my apartment bathroom with it! Here are some bathrooms that I find inspiring....

I found this Trellis patterned shower curtain and think I may like it for my bathroom. Of course I would get green bath towels. The vase I just like, but since it is kelly green I don't think it would work. I would love to paint my bathroom a bright shade of lime green, but I don't feel like having to paint it back with it is time to move!

Another Navy Top & Window Shopping

I hit the mall yet again yesterday. I actually had to return a dress to Forever 21 that was to big on me. I ended up exchanging it for this...
navy polka dot top

It's a very cute Navy Polka Dot Top. It fits me really well and I love that it looks vintage. The other things below I did NOT buy, but love! This outfit was in the window at Charlotte Russe.
black top animal print skirt

I love animal print and pink so the Animal Print Skirt is perfect for me! The Black Top looked great with the skirt and aren't the shoes adorable!
brushstrokes tunic

Then there was the Abstract Brushstrokes Tunic from Forever 21. I love the colors and the pattern. I really want a new wardrobe, can you tell? LOL If you haven't checked out the blog FOR THE LOVE written by Sarah, go check it out! She puts super cute outfits together and most her clothes are thrift store finds!

WEEK 7

TUESDAY! It's not really my favorite day of the week, but it does mean that I am a week closer to seeing Cody! Next Tuesday I will be in Texas. I will see Cody on Thursday March 3rd. Cody did his deployment week during week 7. I don't know a lot about it. I know they camp outside and carry weapons around with them. Cody hurt his knuckle and had to get 4 stitches. He is okay though and it hasn't really affected anything for him.
Week 7 Without Cody

I am definitely ready to see him. Being apart SUCKS! It is heartbreaking and depressing. I will say though I have only broke down a few times. LOL It is normal to feel sad when you are apart from your husband, best friend, soul mate and YOUR EVERYTHING!!! I started playing FarmVille on Facebook. My mom and some friends play, so I decided to join them. I have always loved video games and computer games. I also decided this week that I am in love with lime green. I am trying to find a lime green shower curtain! If you find one please let me know! :)
