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!
this one was awhile ago
more recent :)

FLW: Day 1 1/2
For some reason my other post deleted my little blurb about what I did yesterday in FLW.
I drove all day yesterday and actually made good timing - left at around 0615 and got here around 1600, Missouri time. I had to wait awhile because E had a briefing from some Army general about how four officers got DUI's this past weekend (not in FLW, I guess just throughout the Army).
We went to Seoul Garden with Zaieed, a member of the Saudi Arabian Royal Guard (they guard the royal family) and Mingo, another 2LT. Zaieed and three other members from the SARG are here training with the Army to learn tactics and other things. Dinner was delicious, we tried some sushi which was good but the Korean food was amazing! I got my usual kimchi jjigae and E tried the yook gae jang (which is a spicy shredded beef soup with clear noodles and other veggies). Zaieed got this seafood pancake (similar to kimchi pancakes only with chunks of seafood, including octopus...mmm) and Mingo got some spicy chicken bulgogi. The meal came with traditional Korean banchan or side dishes, and they had a new one that I tried - lotus root. it was soooooo good...can't really describe it but it was very sweet and tasty :)
After dinner we went to Zaieed's house and met his cousin and another member of the SARG. I tried some Arabic tea, which tasted a lot like honey, but oh my it was so good! Then we smoked hookah lol - double apple rose (which tasted different than the one I had back at the Firefly and the Miraj....this one had a strong licorice aftertaste) and grape, which was my favorite. I haven't smoked hookah in who knows how long.
Afterwards we went to The Blackjack Lounge on-post so that E could play some pool. He remained undefeated with his partner, but at one point I told him to either lose (lol) or to have him give me his room key so I could go back. I only got 3 hours of sleep the night before and was exhausted and cranky. We went back, I showered, and passed out.
Today we went to El Jimador, drove around FLW, spent a bunch of money at the commissary and then played some Black Ops Nazi zombies :D

MilSpouse Friday Fill-in!
Hosted by Wife of a Sailor! Sorry I'm a day late. I spent all day yesterday driving to Missouri and now I'm back in Fort Leonard Wood with E :D <3>
And now for this week's questions.
1. Do you or your {spouse} ever wish your {spouse} was in a different branch of the military? submitted by The Turner Family
2. What duty station(s) are on your “No Way, Hell No, Not Going, Have Fun Unaccompanied” list and why? submitted by Every Branch
I've only been to Fort Leonard Wood and although I like coming here because E is here for the time being, there isn't much to do around here :/ Most of the exciting stuff is either in Springfield or St. Louis, which are both 2 hours away. FLW has some kick-ass Korean restaurants, tho :)
3. If you could be one age forever, what age would you choose and why? submitted by Three Krakens
I don't know, I wouldn't want to stay a certain age forever. Sometimes I miss being a kid because nothing really mattered back then. Sometimes being an adult sucks. But I love where I am in life right now.
4. If you were a breakfast cereal, which one would you be? submitted by the C.W.
My favorite...Special K Berries :)
5. What is your morning beverage of choice and why? submitted by NH Girl Displaced
Depends on if I have to leave in the morning or if I'm just hanging around. If I'm just hanging around, I'll make some coffee in the pot (Folger's Dark Roast) or use my roommate's Keurig (which I love! I like the original Caribou K-cups). Sometimes that isn't enough coffee, though (I like anywhere from 4-6 cups/day!). If I'm heading out, I like to get Starbucks' Pike Place Roast and I just bring my own creamer - I love the hazelnut or coconut cream kind :)
