A good night!

My Candlelit dinner Armando made last night! ;)

Our new couch! Very comfy!

Beef Chuck Shoulder I cooked for dinner the other night! Yummy!!

Just wanted to post a few pictures for my mom and everyone else to see!

Not a whole lot going on out this way, just busy trying to get everything in order!
Slowly but surely everything is starting to "find it's place"!

Today Armando, Eli, Jenny, Lupe and myself are all going sightseeing so that should be lots of fun! I will post pictures from that later!

Last night Armando suprised me with a candlelit dinner on the porch! It was very nice, he even made heart shaped napkins! lol After dinner the Bazans came over for a while which was nice! Her brother moved here with them, his name is Lupe'! Seeing them together makes me miss my brother! He's a real nice guy though! Well Armando should be getting home soon and then we are off to go sightseeing so I need to get ready! I'll post again later today!

I love you guys!

Glory to God!! <><

Wins!

I haven't been keeping up with the sweepstakes like I want to, but so far this week I have won 3 Trek water bottles, 15 dollar Best Buy card, unlimited salad/soup from Carino's, free shipping from HSN and another Pizza from Papa Johns!! Pretty gootd for just a few minutes of my time!

On another note Armando started back to work this morning! He just left, but I miss him already knowing he's not gonna be around all day long! It's been such a blessing being able to spend so much time with him! It will be nice for us to get back into our routine though! I hope he likes it here at Ft. Carson! I am sure he will! He's not a complainer and can adapt to any situation with so much ease!

It seems that the El Paso County Fair is here so I think Armando and I may go tonight! I look forward to that! I'm gonna make sure to take a jacket or wear a hoodie! It's been really chilly here at night time! For now, I'm gonna get going and do some chores around the house! I will post again later and hopefully add some new pictures!

Glory to God!! <><

Looking like home...

We have finally started to get things together and our apartment is starting to look like home! we have the living room, dining area and kitchen finished! We have almost finished the bedroom, but still have to finish our headboard! Armando and I both did some work in the extra bedroom today but we still have some things to go through! Our friends arrived yesterday and we cooked dinner for them! It was good to see them! I am glad Jenny is here! Other than going through some boxes, washing clothes and everyday house chores it's been pretty much a lazy day! It's about 6:30 and the "stormy" part of the day has arrived! The great thing about here is if you don't like the weather you just have to wait around about 15 minutes and it's completely different! We have the windows up, just letting the house "air out" since the wind is blowing so hard! It feels great! Not sure what we're gonna have for dinner but it's time I get off of here and figure it out! I'm sure Armando's starting to get hungry! Hope everyone had a great day! Love and hugs to all of you!


Glory to God!! <><

Busy Busy Busy...

Armando and I have been super busy since we got our household goods on Thursday! Things are slowly but surely starting to come together! We still have lots of boxes to go through though! :) Today our friends, the Bazans are arriving! I am very excited that Jenny will be here now! We are going to cook dinner for them this afternoon since all of their stuff is still packed up! I know they are tired and hungry and ready to eat something besides fast food! Armando and I went baragin shopping on Saturday and found some really neat stuff! Hobby Lobby had aisles of Home Decor stuff 90% off!!!! We also found an old desk at a thrift store that we bought for 12 dollars!!! Oh and I saved 60 dollars grocery shopping!!! Unbelievable!!! lol We spent very little money and got lots of great stuff! I will post pics sometime later this week of our place!

On a sad note I saw this morning that a video had surfaced of the U.S. soldier who was captured in Afghanistan! Please take a moment to stop and say a special prayer for this young man who has to be terrified beyond belief and for his family and friends!!! Also for his battle buddies who have to be worried/scared.... their morale had to of taken a huge hit knowing their fellow buddy/soldier has been captured! May God watch over and protect this young man and bring him back safely to his unit so that he may return safely to his family!!!!

Glory to God!! <><

Now they have a place to sit!

It's true, we finally got our couch today and boy is it nice to have a comfy place to sit! Slowly but surely its starting to look "homey"! We should get the rest of our stuff on Thursday, I just got off the phone with the Transportation office and they said it would be delivered between 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.!!!! That's great news, it will be nice to have all of our stuff here! We've been washing and wearing the same clothes like crazy! lol Last night Armando and I felt a little creativity bubble in our brains so we made a quick trip to Walmart and Michaels and made some stuff for our home!! Fun Fun! I will post pics of the stuff we made when we get it put up! Oh! While I have it on my mind, you should definetly give the Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets a try. They are awesome. Well i guess thats it for now, will write more soon.

I'm a winner...

I took Laura's advice and gave the sweepstakes a try! I just won a 2 topping Medium Pizza and 2 20 oz. drinks from Papa Johns! Looks like I know what Armando and I will be having for dinner tomorrow night! lol We're still at the hotel tonight, gonna go back to the apartment tomorrow! I am SOOOO ready to get our household goods!!!! Thursday cannot come fast enough! We are tired of Fast food and hotel rooms! I'll write more later today!

4 more nights....

and then GOODBYE AIR MATTRESS!!!! :( Thursday morning, hopefully bright and early the moving company is finally going to deliver our household goods! Comcast hooked up our internet this morning, and Tuesday our new couch is being delivered! It seems that things are starting to fall into place and we are very excited about that! Tonight we are staying at the Best Western hoping to get a good nights rest! We didn't do much today. Swam, relaxed in a big hot tub and watched television. It was another rainy afternoon here. My friend Lace and her family got into town tonight so it will be nice to see her soon! It's good to know she's here! Oh an the most exciting thing.... I found out that my cousin Laura has internet!!!!! I am very excited about that as she and I are the same age and she's just always been like my sister. Over the past couple of years we haven't kept in touch the way I want us to and when I moved I was worried it would make that worse, but now that she has the internet, I feel like it will be an easier way for us to keep up with one another!!

On a completely different note, Armando and I have searched this city high and low trying to find my make-up since we got here, but to no avail until tonight!!! We went to Walmart and they had two tubes so we bought both of them just in case! lol Just an exciting tid bid of info! (for me it was)

Well, I'm about to head to bed. Looking forward to what tomorrow brings! Will write again soon and hopefully post some new pics!

Glory to God!!!<><
