Life in Tennessee...

It's been brought to my attention that I have been neglecting my blog since I got to Tennessee (Alyssa! lol) But she is right. I've just been so busy. Anyways, it's been two weeks since I said goodbye to Bruce and it hasn't gotten any easier. But the hardest part is when little Bruce talks about "dada". Bruce has always been the one to put him to bed at night and everytime I ask him if he is ready to go night night, he looks up and says "dada". It just breaks my heart.

But he is doing so good adjusting to our new temporary life here in Tennessee. He has bonded with everyone here and it's made it so nice. We just got adjusted to our routine and now the stupid time is going to change! Who else hates that?! Anyways, Bruce is doing all kinds of new stuff. He is saying juice, tea and nana (banana). He shakes his head yes and no. He runs from diaper changes and when I need to wipe his nose. He knows how to use a napkin now. He is just doing so good.

Me on the other hand is still adjusting. I am not used to sharing my time with little man so much. But it's been so good for me to have the down time. I've enjoyed it so much. And it's good for little man to spend time without me with other people. I went to see Paranormal Activity 2 last night with my Daddy and father in law. And oh my gosh, the whole baby situation really had me freaked. I just wanted to go home and grab little man and hold him and not let go. But he was asleep when we got home. The movie was good, but that baby thing was to much for me I think. I am going out to lunch at Texas Roadhouse tomorrow with my Dad and to get things for Bruce's first care package. I'm so excited to send him one. I got some stuff tonight for it!

One thing that I am doing here to keep busy is work out! Oh my gosh! Before the whole fire situation I was doing so good with my diet and exercise routine. I had lost 2 lbs in a week and then the fire happened and it all went downhill from there. But I'm back on schedule now and it's been awesome. I workout on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can only eat out on the weekend. I have to drink 69 ounces of water a day and I'm taking some green tea supplements. I feel really good. I am hoping to lose at least 30 - 40 lbs before Bruce comes home next Spring. I'm also trying to get my tan back. I used to tan alot before I got pregnant, but I haven't had the chance to get back to it since having him. But now that I have so many free babysitters here I have the time to workout and tan. It's been amazing and it's such a good distraction from the deployment.

Well, that's about it for tonight. I am super tired.

  1. I LOVE Texas Roadhouse :) Made me want it when I read it! I think and pray for you, Bruce, and little man often. I know deployments can be very tough. Thanks for updating! You know I would have kept nagging you about it, haha :)
