a touch of madness

I found this on Pinterest last night, and seriously, how true is that? Love it! Beethoven is my very favorite composer and he was certainly mad, but such a musical genious.

Anybody found anything Pinteresting lately? That place is such an inspiration to me, no lie.

Hiiiii everyone!

I really think I can get back into the blogging groove again, because...I finally got a new laptop! I used to blog on a really bad quality netbook (it was great when it was in its prime) and it just wasn't working out. So after this morning and dealing with it freezing up constantly, I walked into Staples, called my husband, and informed him of how I was about to purchase us a new laptop. And he agreed!

Husband is currently not in NC...he's doing pre-deployment training in a classified area. ;-) Although we've been told he's not getting deployed anytime soon, this is "required" training for when it does happen.

Anyway...we love it in our new town! I suppose I like it more than he does for obvious reasons. I'm currently back home visiting my family while he's gone and I'm actually going to be working for a few weeks until he comes home. I figured it would make the time go by faster and Lord knows I can use all the help I can get!

Here are a few pictures to update you guys!

 We got a puppy! Her name is Sadie and she's a Jack Russell. Sooo adorable! She'll be 12 weeks old this coming Wednesday.

 Nap time...I tell B I don't want her to sleep in our bed so they nap on the couch instead! :-)

 My brother home during his pre-deployment leave. We also celebrated his 19th birthday. He deploys in May with the Army.

 Us at the NC Zoo a few weeks ago.

Got my nose pierced as a late Christmas gift from my brother. I have wanted this since I was 16 and it was worth the wait! I love it.

So...I really hope to get back into blogging! I still read all of your blogs but very rarely comment because it was such a long process with my old computer! I will be doing that more often, for sure!

Our new life

Long time no posting! I felt the need to update because I constantly read everyone's blogs but never update my own. I'm such a bad blogger!

A few recent happenings:

-I FINALLY live with my husband again! I've been here almost a month (Camp Lejeune) and I love it. I don't know if I mentioned this before or not, but I sold my car back while he was at boot camp, and that was probably not such a great idea. B takes the car to work every day and I'm stuck at home. I don't usually mind it, but sometimes when the weather is beautiful I just want to go drive somewhere and sit and read a book. Or something.

-I've got one new friend so far. Her and her husband helped us move in when we arrived here. My husband and hers are in the same unit so they've known each other for a while. It would be easier to get out and meet people if I had a car...but I'll make do for now. Hopefully within the next few months my own set of wheels will be parked in our driveway.

Now, a few pictures from the past month or so:

We drove to Topsail Island a few weekends ago, just for fun. He's not mad, just really cold!

My last day at work. Bittersweet. Mostly sweet.

Loading up the moving truck! We left at 4am the next morning. Couldn't sleep so we just rolled outta bed and took off!

Recent self-portrait. :)

Hubby built us a headboard. We got a new bedframe/mattress the week after I got here! Our other mattress was sooo old and definitely needed to be retired.

Overall, I love our new life. We go out and do stuff all the time which is very nice since we've never had the opportunity before. I'm excited for the summertime when we can sit on the beach all day long! That's my kind of summer. Beach, swimming, books. Yes.
