FRIIIIIDAAAAYYY

What are you guys up to this weekend?



I think it will be a rather long weekend, I am packing up my apartment. and generally trying to keep busy...I have been having a blah week. But, I take comfort in knowing that H is having an okay time... and is very excited about port visits. But having no internet/cable is getting rather old...  But I am not one to sit and wallow in pity....I  am going to try and hang out with one of my good friends this weekend and I am excited!

    I  really feel SOOO out of the loop with everything. I had no idea what magic mike was... haha. No internet...TV.. and only listen to satellite radio sort of  makes you totally out of the loop.

    I am on the fence about seeing it.... I love me some Man candy... but part of me doesn't want to see it.

    Tonight I'm going shopping for shoe supplies. I'm going to attempt to make my own "blinged out" shoes for the wedding. I've got less than a month to pull it off lol

    Tomorrow afternoon I have to go to FI's cousin's graduation party, and then tomorrow night I've got a good friends bachelorette party.

    I've heard good things about Magic Mike, and I'm tempted to give into all they hype and go check it out when I have some free time.

    Tonight we are going to a party for my cousin's girlfriend. It starts at 9:30, and it's an hour away... UGH. I am ONLY going so that I can dress cute for once. Seriously, I need to update my pictures LOLOLOLOL!

    Anyway, tomorrow we are going to just chill, maybe actually go see Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Killer this time. Sunday will be breakfast by the airport and shopping until we have to pick up MIL.

    In between everything will be a lot of cleaning :)

    I played hookie from work today. I have a crap ton of sick time and since I am leaving in Sept I decided to use a day. I am off to get my hair colored today and then I plan on sitting my butt in the pool with a frozen cocktail for the rest of the weekend.

    We're renting a truck tomorrow morning and driving to my friend's house to pick up a new couch and two bookshelves. Now my books will have a home and we can put our janky-seventies floral-wicker couch by the dumpster. I really am hoping that someone at FI's work has a cookout for the 4th, I'd invite people here but we don't have a ton of outside space or a good grill yet. 

    HOLY CRAP IT"S RAINING AT FI'S WORK!!!!!!

    Maybe there will be sweet sweet rain tomorrow. Of course, that means a trip to get a tarp so the new couch is okay. I'm cool with that.

    <div>Yes it is actually. People even do Pre-Deployment and Already Gone sessions. Try looking up photographers on oplove.org or google Welcome The Home. These photographers all do it for free! The one I booked isn't affiliated with them but she was former AD, that's why she does it free too. They're getting booked up FAST though so hurry. </div>

    That's such a cute idea Kara! H's deployment got cut short due to being injured and next month he finds out if they'll keep him or separate/retire him :/
  • Options
    Those are cute....

    Has anyone here done that? Any picture to share?

    I'll have to look into it and ask H what he thinks. I'm trying to get his parents to come, and his dad is a pretty good photog (he took our e-pics) so he may want to do it.

    Amanda: We have done the predeployment session before through an OpLove photographer. I don't have any pictures right now as I didn't buy the CD of them but I will be getting our collage canvas soon so I can show you that if you want. They turned out beautifully. These are all professional photographers that offer their services for free for the military, the photogs that did us usually cost $300-500 per session actually. For the Predeployment and Already Gone sessions, they make an album of the pictures they take of you and send that to your H whil e he is deployed, so I am actually waiting around for ours too, they said I can send it to H myself and as an added bonus they are even giving each of us a dogtag keychain of our favorite picture. Anyway, it's a great program to look into. Oh and personally, I wouldn't want anybody BUT me there at Homecoming, I just don't want to share my H after not seeing him for so long... My MIL better not try to hug him first!!
