Day 7!

Day 7: Post a picture of a wonderful friend you have made because of your s/o being in the military.

I haven't really met a lot of people since E commissioned (hopefully that will change once we PCS in May). Through ROTC I have met a lot of people, but more notably these two:

This is an older picture of him, but he still looks EXACTLY the same. He's one of our good friends and happens to be E's best man for our formal wedding in May :) He was formerly enlisted as an MP and was stationed in South Korea. Now he's finishing up ROTC and will commission in May as a 2LT. This time he's going MI.

Aaaaand:

Sorry Lauren, I totally yoinked this from your Facebook page :)

I wouldn't have met her if it weren't for the Army. Both of our boys lived together and we practically lived with them in that house together haha. She's very sweet :) She also has a blog, go follow her @ Killer Words From A Queen! :)

Edit: I hate my layout for not being able to display pictures properly, even though I choose them to be small! Oh well, click to view them better, I guess :)

Day 6 - Fort Leonard Wood

Day 6: Post a picture of the base your man is at and tell 5 cool things about the base.



Oh what to say about Fort Leonard Wood lol... (I'll try my best!)
1. Obviously, E is here! That is the BEST thing about this post ;)
2. It's warmer here than back home (OH-IO!)
3. It's got a cool MP memorial. I love the bronze crossed pistols statue:



Along with that memorial is also a chem and engineer memorial.

4. The post isn't overly huge which in a way is nice. I know when I move to Fort Hood in May it'll be a big change, but I'm ready for that (and nicer weather!! lol)
5. There is a really good Korean restaurant (Seoul Garden) and Mexican restaurant (El Jimador) off-post.

That's pretty much it lol.

Day 5 - Branch

Day 5: Post a picture of the branch he is in and list your favorite thing about him being in the military.



That he takes pride in making a difference in the world and serving his country and defending our freedoms.

hooah! :)

day 4! Family

Post a picture of the family he had to leave behind to protect his country.


I can't find a picture of his ENTIRE family but here is one :)

day 3 - how we met

Day 3: Post a picture of how you met. Did you know then that you'd be where you are with him today?


We met at college. Not at this building, but this is a picture of part of the campus.

E actually requested to be my friend on Facebook before I even moved into the dorm I was living in that year (which was the townhouses). One of my roommates knew him. One day all of us (as in my 4 other roommates and E's 5 other roommates) met and E and I instantly hit it off together. The chemistry was definitely there :)

I honestly knew that I would be where I am now with him, and he felt the same way :)

military photo challenge days 1 & 2

I saw that Beckie @ Turn for the Nurse was doing this and I thought it was a cool idea. Katie @ Every Day That You're Away is doing a link-up for this photo challenge! Here are days 1 & 2, I'll include 3 when I have more time.

Day 1: Post a photo of your military SO and list 10 facts about him.



lol I love this picture of E, from his ROTC days.

1. E drives a Subaru WRX and absolutely loves it. I joke around with him and tell him it's his girlfriend because of how he is with it. He loves cars in general and wants to race someday. He keeps talking about bringing his car to a track or bringing it to the Nuremberg Speedway in Germany. He has already tuned his car which is now as fast as a stock Subaru STI. He used to own a '96 Mustang GT and spent way too much money on that car lol.

2. E is a middle sibling. He has an older sister who is 24 (and she is married to an Airman!) and a younger brother who is 20.

3. E is a beer connoisseur. He loves craft beers and IPAs.

4. E is also a Chipotle addict. The closest Chipotle from him is 2 hours away. He drove one day just to get it

5. Although E hasn't been in the Army for long (he's a newly commissioned 2LT) he is a great soldier. I couldn't be more proud of him!

6. E loooooves anything and everything spicy!

7. Playing video games is one of his favorite past-times.

8. back home he has a german shepherd named Mercedes :) Unfortunately we can't take her once we PCS to our new duty station, so we're going to get a shepherd of our own :)

9. E's guilty junk food vice is Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

10. E graduated with a bachelor's in political science, associate's in criminal justice and minor in military science.

Day 2: post a picture of you and your military SO being silly

Lol we do not really have any silly pictures!
