I am stuntin' and flossin' and

Savin' my money and I'm hella happy that's a bargain, b#@%$.

Mood music, please:

When I started shopping for this project, I KNEW that I wanted a Navajo inspired sweater and low and behold, it was the first thing I found! Pure dumb luck, I tell ya.

My luck didn't run out, though. I also found those BRAND NEW American Eagle Jeans {that are actually sold out and not available in stores} at Plato's closet! How is that even possible?

John Wayne ain't got nothing on my fringe game, hell no...

Unmentionables are not from a Thrift store. Just to clarify.

In case you were wondering where I was yesterday, I got to "Pin" my soldier at his promotion ceremony! I will tell you all about it and share some video soon :)

PS. "Pin" means punch...just wait 'till you see the video.

Santa Came In February!

#1 I managed to get off to be there for Will's promotion ceremony.
#2 I'm about to show you ;)

You may not remember, but I had this on my Christmas list:

Luckily, my girl Tiffany knew how badly I wanted one, so she sent me one to review for y'all!
Yep, homegirl is my hero right now.

I was able to choose a large or small locket, gold/silver/rose gold, the type of chain I desired, and lots of fun charms to personalize my locket. Every aspect is just as I dreamed...

I chose:
An owl, my job
A camera, my love of photography
A suitcase, my love of travel
The aqua accent stone, my favorite color
The Peridot heart, my daddy's birth stone
The Garnet heart, Will's birth stone
And the anchor, also for Will because he is the anchor for my soul
Cheesy alert!

A few really fun things about Origami Owl:

*The company was started by a 14 year old girl in 2010!

*Everything is sold a la cart so that every locket is completely personalized and unique

*Whether you want to wear one charm or all of them on any given day, you can easily switch the charms out, much like a Pandora bracelet. Only fancier. 

Tell me you don't want one:

OBSESSED.

Now go check out Tiffany on Origami Owl. She is donating 20% of all orders in February and March to the Susan G. Komen fund, and you can check out her page for the three day Breast cancer Walk here. I know that when I need a "reason" to buy fun goodies like this, a charity contribution will always win me over! Don't forget Mother's Day is right around the corner...Seems like the perfect way to show mom that you love her!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will probably see some pics pop up on Twitter and Instagram from my girlfriends Birthday tonight AND the ceremony tomorrow, in case you are as excited as I am. Well...I'm actually not excited about going out on a week night {Did I just say that?}, but I'll have a good time anyways. We always do!

Answering Thought Provoking Questions...

I feel so overwhelmed with emotion from all the love and support we are getting about Will's promotion, and to top it off? Kelly gave me this good news:

I don't even really know what that means, but I know that it means the world to me that people actually enjoy my blog. Well, hopefully that is what that means.

And now the "thought provoking" questions that Becca asked for the Liebster award. I'm not gonna lie, I had to put some thought into these answers:

Favorite book to film adaptation?

Hands down, Harry Potter. #TeamPotter

If you could travel anywhere in the world and money was no object, where would you go? Why?
I would travel The Med. Italy, Greece, France, Monaco...Le sigh.

What’s the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Their shoes. You can tell a lot buy a guys shoe choice.

If you had to live in a decade other than the current one, which would you choose?
The 50's. I feel like Will and I would fit in really well then.

If you could go back, what advice would you give yourself in high school?
Don't quit exercising in College.

If you were to get a tattoo, what and where would it be?
My next tattoo {and seventh} is a secret. I can't give my ideas away.
I already see enough people with these now:

Who would you like to see pair up to sing a duet?
Coldplay and Barbara Streisand.

If you were a TV host who would be your fantasy Co-host?
My hubby. I feel like we could be the modern Sonny and Cher. Only funnier.

If you ruled the world what is the first thing you do or change?
Get rid of our overpaid, overtaxing, under-empathetic Government.

Did you grow up to be who you thought you be?
Pretty much. I mean, yeah...I thought I would be more of a "career woman", but everything else is as I'd hoped. Most importantly, I am proud of where I'm at, who I've chosen to spend the rest of my life with, and my outlook on life. It actually might be better than I thought.

If you were given a choice unlimited riches or immortality which would you choose?
Um...neither. Unlimited riches would bring greed, ego, and misery, while immortality would be even worse. I already get sad when I think about the changes that are going to happen in my lifetime {death, societal, economic, environmental}, and I can't even imagine having to be a witness to that until the end of time. I feel like one lifetime is enough for anyone.

Oh BOY, Do I Have A LOT To Tell You!

You are now talking to a Sergeant's Wife!
Woohoo! I know I'm a dork.
But first, let's start with National Margarita Day!!



A night filled with tequila and Dance Central fun.
It was impromptu and just the three of us {Buck is our pseudo son}, but it was the perfect celebration. Plus this makes TWO weekends in a row that I drank! That is a new record.



Due to the craziness of this night, we planned on having a lazy Saturday to make up for it.

Until...

Will came bounding up the stairs scaring the shit out of me to tell me that he GOT PROMOTED!!

The way the Army works, as an "Enlisted Soldier" you usually come out of Basic Training as an E-2 or 3(Private/PFC), and depending on what job you do, it can take quite some time to gain rank. Will, however, is what they call "high speed", so he has gone from PFC to SGT in LESS than three years. We weren't expecting this until at least summer, and one of his NCO's actually said that he has never seen someone get promoted in this "Secondary Zone". Especially someone that has a job that needs over 700 points to get promoted. #hardworkpaysoff

So this week, he got a slot for Warrior Leader Course (which can be hard to get before you have been promoted), he beat his own "Company High Physical Test score", and he got a much deserved promotion. To say I'm proud would be a gross understatement.

This called for a celebration at BJ's Brewhouse, and obviously, good friends, beer, and pizza is always the best way to celebrate ;)



Yep, you read that right.
That is our favorite pizza that tastes nothing like a pizza, but c'mon, you know it sounds awesome. Bacon makes everything better.



He makes SGT look GOOD, and he's MY Sergeant ;)

Will starts WLC next Friday, so this was our last weekend to spend together for awhile. Twenty-two days of straight classes are what is in store for him, but thankfully, he still gets to come home every night and I can take him lunch. Just part of the job!



I also wanted to remind you that wee have four shopping days until March 1st!
