Movie reviews;

This past weekend Chance and I actually got the time to do a few things on our own. Friday night we spent hours attempting to pick out a movie that sounded good to us.

We ended up choosing Red Tails. I really did enjoy this movie even if many girls think it is geared towards guys. I for one am obsessed with history and WWII and this had plenty of both. It has a terrific story line as to how the Negros began the war and how they struggled to pull ahead and fight for their country. The story line was very easy to follow and with all the shooting and action it holds a man attentions while throwing a love story in there for the ladies. over-all i give this story 4.5 out of 5 stars. I wasn't fond of the ended but the rest was a hit with me.

Last night Chance surpised me with renting Real Steel. I wasn't to happy that he had went out and rented a guys movie but I was open to the option. Thankfully I was because I thought this movie was a hit. At times it left me wanting to tear up with the story of a man who hadn't seen his child since he was born 11 years earlier. The main plot of the story was to give a fighting chance to a little boy who had never known his father. In the end their robot ended up becoming the "People's Choice" and nearly beating the world champion despite the fact that it was a surprising amount smaller. This movie gives a very good moral story and i would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Cheers to the freakin' weekend;

I'd love to admit my weekend was GRAND!


The hubby's friend finally came home from deployment Friday so Saturday we met with old friends from c-school and had a little chipotle! I looooove eating Spanish inspired food! It was nice to see the hubby's friends and have a little outing.

After making it home from our luncheon, we took little Roscoe to the beach. He was thrilled! We didn't get to walk far because so many people were managing to stop us and see our little fur ball. Thankfully we got a nice walk in... I needed the exercise!

We also managed to make it to an eighties cover band concert. We didn't buy tickets before hand and us and a few friends did a no no and cut in line. We ended up being the last two tickets and we felt amazingly lucky for that! I must say to be a band to cover so many other bands the legwarmers were awesome! It was a blast.

I guess you can say the rest of the weekend was slooooow. We chilled at home with the pup and finished our taxes (thank lord).

I am so thankful to have weekends with the hubs. The weeks are so looooong and full of work that it's nice to have our time off.

I hope everyone else's weekend was enjoyable as well.

such a good pick me up;

Lets just say yesterday wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. It was such long hours with the Navy. Even though that was a HUGE negative I still got a nice little surprise from my husband :)

He actually got to come home for about 30 minutes in the middle of the day. Roscoe was so happy to see his daddy. All good things must come to an end though, Chance had to go back to work which only made the little puppy stand at the door and whine for quite some time.

Finally at 10:40 Chance walked in the door and we got to have super late night pizza. I hate that the Navy kept him so late but today is rumored to be an early day and Monday a day off so we will see how that goes.

The great pick me up of the whole night of course came from my husband. While laying in bed i just had some questions floating in my mind. Chance and I don't really have serious conversations much because we don't need them and thats not the style of us. As we were lying there i just had to inquire as to if he was really a happy married man. As always he joked that he was forced to marry me but finally came clean about being so happy. We began discussing our baby and he expressed how happy he was that we're pregnant even if it wasn't what we had wanted at the time. It's nice to know he is excited for our bean. I guess with all my questions he began to wonder and have some of his own. He asked if I was excited and I replied yes. He ended up questioning that because I sounded apprehensive... of course I am though... I explained to him how scared I was and how I of all people should be prepared and ready to have a child. He's scared too and he knows we're going to be raising a baby, theres more then just us now.

Needless to say our talk last night really helps to brighten my days. I just want to know that my husband is happy with our position in life and that everything will be ok. He's the best man I could ask for and God really knew we were meant to be. I'm one happy girlie.

Thursday five link up!

Going to try something new today! Linking up with a fellow blogger!

Elated

I am happy that my hubby has a three day weekend with the furbaby and me.

Got a call from a fellow S.O. from our ship. I was invited to join the FRG and possibly hold a committee position. I am thrilled to have this chance.

The townhome is amazingly clean. I am joyed to have the time to be able to make my home clean.

My husband and I got to go to the doctor this week and I am still in shock. I think we are both estatic to have seen our little jelly bean.

I am elated that we get to have pizza tonight. I've been waiting since Sunday to have pizza night with the hubs.

Baby Copeland;

Monday i happen to make my first trip to my new OB/GYN. It's always a bit nerve wreaking to have to find a new doctor, I for one HATE the stree that comes with it all. On the bright side, I finally got to hear my little babies heart beat! At the time I got to hear it it was beating at 158/min. I've read some rumors about how girls have higher heart beats and boys stay low in the 140s. The appointment went well until the end when i had to give blood, I gave literally 10 test tubes! I was so tired of watching the lady change the test tube, I was miserable.

I think the best surprise of the day was this:



Chance and I got to see our baby for the first time. Chance's face was so memorable. His eyes got huge and his mouth fell open, it was almost like an OMG thats really a baby in my wife's tummy. The babies heart beat had slowed down and was now at 140. It took forever to find it because our little jelly bean is a "Mexican jumping bean" according to Chance. It's a little wiggle worm. It was so nice to know our baby is growing fine and to finally figure out our due date and how far along I really am. The little bean is due August 8th. I can not wait until we can know what we have!




I think the baby has my nose, it has a turn up on the end just like mine. It also has longer legs like mine but seems to have Chance's long torso and his BIG lips if you zoom in on the picture. I'm hoping it comes out as a perfect mix of the two of us... what more could I hope for?

my new life;

so far I've been in Norfolk for not even a week. My parents left yesterday which wasnt exactly how i wanted my day to go. I mean I was glad to see them leave but it was still upsetting.

This morning I had my first interview. of course it was at a daycare, can't see myself in any other position. I feel as if it went well but it was still a bit scary, I mean it's an interview!!! Are they ever something you dont stress over?

I'm not excited about getting a job. we'll be getting BAH and i just don't feel as if i want to waste what little time I will have with my husband at a job. AT this moment I'm stil going to get one... in a few months I'll be a whale and really not want to work so putting money in savings will help us when the time comes.

so far the navy has treated me well. We haven't had to many disagreements. Chance will have to work all weekend and I won't be seeing him, I'm not ok with that but what can you do?

All in all everything has been ok. We're settling in and becoming a happy little Navy family as quick as we can.

Hello new life;

Today has been more hectic them this whole week.

I knew I had a lot of stuff but with leaving most of it behind I thought maybe it would fit in my little ford escape. WRONG.

Everything is squished in space bags... And stuffed into my car at this moment and there is still more laying in my bedroom floor that needs to go along with my parents bag and all of the puppy's stuff.

I'm over whelmed and stressed. I've managed to cry a bit and tomorrow I will try once again to fit everything in my car.

On the bright side Lauren took me for ice cream last night :) I reallllly wanted ice cream. Probably not the best thing for baby Copeland but hey I was craving!

Slacker;

I guess I've been a horrible blogger lately. Everything just got so scary and hectic and now it's finally calming down.

Yesterday was my last day at the daycare. It's nice to be able to finally say that. I've been there a year and a half waiting to move to Norfolk and finally the time has come. I'll be heading out on my own next Saturday. How scary!!! Thank god my husband will be there and I'll have a few friends already there to help me through it.

Last night we had the chance to see the devil inside. I was honestly not impressed. I hate scary movies and found it very dumb and boring :( we ended the night with dinner at o'quigleys. Amazing other then the weird old man telling me that I had questions about my marriage, wow.


How has everyone's January been?

Happy new years;

Today is the first day of the new year :)

2012 has so much in store for me. I'll be moving to Norfolk in two weeks, ill be 20, our baby will be born, and another deployment will soon follow.

Today is quite a special day for my husband and I. The Navy recognizes us as husband and wife. This is a huge thing for us. Most people only get recognized by the state... We're recognized by the united states military.

I am so happy that everything is how it is. I'm so in love and excited with everything. It's been such a pod December and I'm hoping 2012 will treat us the same.

I hope all of you had a wonderful new years. Best wishes.
