Why must people think it is okay to walk and read at the same time?
I had to manuever myself around 3 separate people yesterday while they continued to read their commuting literature while they were walking on the sidewalk!!
I mean seriously..you don't read and drive....why is walking any different??

More things I have learned...
1) How to change a flat tire
2) How to find the hole in the tire and discovering that a hole in the sidewall of the tire means tire cannot be fixed.
3) How to know how much air needs to be in respective tire
4) Normally when you buy a new tire you get two new tires
5) I have to have my own costco membership to purchase new tire
6) How touch up paint when you buy a new can of paint
7) How a quart and half of paint will not paint a whole room and the ceiling this is after you buy a gallon of paint to paint the room and the ceiling and still does not paint the whole room
8) The blessed experience it is to have both my husband and I to have great relationships with our respected in-laws. We both actually enjoy seeing and spending time with them without the other person there.
9)As I have my own experiences, challenges, and break downs, my mom has had the same experiences, challenges and break downs. She is always there to listen and understand even though we are 2100 miles away from each other.
10) Making time for new friendships. It's those new friendships that can possibly get you through the hardest times.
Speaking of my mom. She just entered the world of blogging! Check out her blog and route her on!!! Mom's Blog

ahhh, the weekend...
My weekend was so wonderful. Well Friday night through Sunday morning was good. The rest of the day on Sunday, was just plain BLAH! However, we will focus on the good parts of the weekend. E arrived at 9:30pm. A little delayed but it was okay because I got to take a nap and shower before I went to pick him up from the airport. Friday night was all about catching up! Saturday we both were up and dressed by 9:15am!! This is huge because my husband is a sleeper! He could sleep all day if he could. Me, I am the total opposite. I wake up at 7am and go all day long. I seriously fault 10 years of working that inhibits my ability to sleep in.
Our Saturday consisted of running errands, seeing friends and hanging out. Oh, and he taught me how to check my oil and refill the oil in my car should it run low again. We reveled in the fact that we are such in a good place in our lives. We are getting the hang of the marriage thing, he is now only working one job and not going to school, I am in a good place my work, etc. Life is good!
We also took on the job of painting our room. It was the first time we have ever done something like this and it was hiliarous! We ordered pizza, drank some beers and managed to finish the room. I can't post pictures just yet because towards the end of the project we started to run out of paint so were doing everything we could to make the paint last and get the room done. So on Monday, I went and purchased some more paint to touch up the areas that were sparse. Our walls are textured so the paint didn't catch in some parts. So while touching up the paint, I managed to screw everything up so I have to repaint the room.
Sunday, E left early. I came home from the airport and was so down, I just sat on my couch, watched pointless tv and worked on my beginner knitting project. I am very thankful for having Monday off because I pushed myself out of the house, which is what I needed.
Overall, I am slowly getting used to this lifestyle. It's amazing what happens to you when you are single for so long and love to live independently and then you meet someone, fall in love, get married and come to relay on your husband for so much! When you are put into a situation where you have to be independent again, it kinda rattles you. At least it is for me. But I am getting back on my independent feet again. I fall a lot, but I am remembering how good I use to be on my own and trying to rechannel that person. :)

Too quiet
E's been gone now for almost two weeks. It's waaay too quiet at the Robbins Nest. Lately all I've been doing is working late, futzing around the house and going to bed way to late. I guess you could say I am bored.
I did a little shopping this past weekend. Finally purchased a shower curtain for our bathroom, curtains for the kitchen and paint for the bedroom. The house is slowly but surely really coming together. I was going to paint the bedroom last weekend but chatted with E on the phone and he wanted to help. So I've postponed it to when we can do it together. This weekend was really nice weather wise, so sunday I started my weeding project again and sat out in the sun with my latest book.
Some "big" things have happened in the last week or so...I mastered the power drill and attempted to grill chicken on E's new gas grill. The grilling went so so, I think partly because I couldn't really see if the chicken was cooked all the way so I ended up cooking the bigger piece the rest of the way in the oven.
Other then that, I am kinda blah. I really need to get back into a excercise routine and my yoga. I believe that my blah mood is because I am not getting out besides going to work every day. Thanks KMT for checking in...his ground school is going well. Now he is learning the systems of the plane. We've talked every night which has been really nice. I just hate crawling into bed alone. I've started sleeping diagonally in the bed, with my head on his pillow. Kind of funny, I think.
I mentioned a couple of posts ago, that we went puppy shopping. We've decided to put that on hold. With our schedules, it just not conducieve for a puppy right now. Jenny, I would love some advice on puppy training. You are totally the expert in this area! Any tips would be so great.

Retail therapy
is the best thing ever! I splurged on myself today at banana republic.True to form, I bought everything on sale. I cannot stand buying clothes full price and knowing in a few short weeks they will be on sale.
This weekend I plan to pick out some paint for our bedroom. I hope I can accomplish painting the bedroom before E gets back. I saved a bunch of gift cards from our wedding. I think these next 6 weeks are a perfect time to do some shopping!

his last day..
Today is E's last day as at SW. He has been with them for 5 years in all sorts of capacities. Ramper, recruiter, ramp supervisor and now cargo agent. As he was leaving to go into work today ( I am working from home today), he told me that in 5 years he will be back at SW as a pilot. The look on his face was priceless. It was the look of determination, satisfaction of how far he has come and pure happiness.
He leaves on Sunday for 6 weeks. He starts with AE on Monday and will starting his pilot training with them down in Dallas. We have a fun-filled weekend planned...Tonight: hanging out. Saturday: brunch with MIL, puppy shopping, sushi dinner out and salsa dancing. Sunday, I will take him to the airport so that he can catch an 11am flight.
Cheers to you babe! I love you!
