Random...on tuesday got to watch the blue angels practice from a rooftop on base...brought a friend with me who has a sick nikon camera and she shared some of her pix with me today. Gah! Such amazing pictures!
Eta: for those who may have missed it DH is a us navy blue angel. Not a pilot but a maintainer.
That's so cool @labby18! I love blue angels!! This week in Lakeland we have something called Sun n Fun going on and I saw some blue angels when I left work today. Lakeland gets super packed. It's like a weeklong air show. The only thing I don't like is it is about 3 minutes from my work so the roads are always super packed out lol.

I am obsessed with the Blue Angels. I am so amazed by them. My mom works so close to Oceana and every year they have a BBQ to watch the air show. I am such a nerd I will even watch YouTube videos of them and DD has a little Blue Angels jet. They are amazing.

My husband is there right now!
Eta...i was gonna drive down for the show but decided not to bc i didnt feel like boarding the dog and getting a kitty sitter.
@cmar1006 i usually go to the oceana show every year but it's the same weekend as my due date this year lol. Umm...DH watches youtube videos...and he IS a blue angel sooo yeah haha.
Here's a random. DH is considering moving us to NY. His mom and step dad live there. There's a lot of other details and it probably wouldn't be any time soon. But wow. I've got a lot of thinking to do lol!
@wyomama0427 as long as it's for good reasons and it'll benefit your family, why not? I'm a little jaded we move every 3 years, so setting roots down isn't a concept I'm familiar with.
Which reminds me...we didn't get selected for any orders AGAIN. Sooo still no answer on where we are going...the saga continues to next month!
@mrs_tacos that would be so awesome! It would make it easier to move if I had at least one person there (besides the MIL and her hubby lol) to be friends with!
@Becky012016 I'm not really sure, the idea is still in its infancy, there would be a LOT to work out, but probably not for at least another year, maybe two, maybe more! Who knows..
So the whole missiles to Syria thing kind of terrifies me with DH being active duty. There's no telling what this type of action means for our troops and deployments. If any of y'all are the praying type, please pray for those who serve and those who are making these types of life altering decisions to engage. It can't be an easy decision for any of those involved and they need true wisdom.
@labby18 sorry about your lack of orders....that is so frustrating. Hopefully y'all will get to put in requests again soon before you get voluntold to be somewhere.
@wyomama0427 how exciting! A change of scenery could be good for all. Sending prayers your way for wisdom!
@Msashley2010 yay for a boy!! I love my two and our bond...it'll definitely be different than you DD!
@wyomama0427 Wow, that's huge! Definitely take time to think and plan the move, but I always loved moving around when I was younger. Gave me a chance to "start over" and make lots of new friends. Plus the east coast is so different from the west coast. Would you be moving closer to the city or more upstate?
Sorry to get everyone excited about possibly moving to NY but now we've got some new plans in the works which could be just as fun... more details on the way after today!
So we still haven't gone public with this pregnancy. It's not a secret and the people who know can tell whoever they want. But so far no one has told shitty older BIL and for some reason I'm finding a lot of satisfaction in that. FFFC?
We're going to our home team's baseball opening day today, and we're going to us a picture of me- and my belly, of course- in front of the field to finally announce on Facebook! It's not a secret in our day to day lives, but it will nice for it not to be a secret anywhere at all. (Although I still think it would be kind of fun to say nothing at all, and then post pictures of our baby in September, like, "BTW, we made this."
@Ae_Lovely321 thank you! I have a love/hate relationship with moving, but the military moves us for free (we usually make $ on our moves) and...and THEY PACK EVERYTHING FOR YOU and unpack it all for you

Phew. My house has been down for the count with these colds/flu so I've been bumping a lot less, and I am once again late to the party, but I just wanted to say a few things:
@labby18 I cant believe the AT&T dude. I hope you or DH pull the pregnancy card. I totally would and I would have no shame about it.
@wyomama0427 if you move you'll have to change your name again. Oh maybe that's how you can tell us where you are going.
@labby18 Yes. If it wasn't for that dislocation allowance we would have been out of $1K from our recent move. I hope they pick you guys up for something so you can move before the baby.
@Ae_Lovely321 oh no, we are moving in November...I just would like to know WHERE. But at the same time he's up for promotion which if he gets will change whatever we finally get picked up for. So it's all just a bunch of hurry up and wait.
@labby18 oh my. Yeah knowing when your moving but not where to would drive me crazy. I bet though once you know the hurry up and wait will get worse. I'm a planner and not being able to do majority of the arrangements until so many days out kills me.
So I just quit my job. Like walked out in the middle of the day quit. Boss was yelling at me in the hallway accusing me of not liking him because I "hate men" and went on to accuse me of "controlling your husband like a robot." I worked there less than three months and this man has met my husband once. He was hurling insult and as I packed up my bag and then had the audacity to tell me I had to help his wife with mailing things to the thousand plus person list I have spent all week trying to make coherent. So. That's my week.
But DH and I got a great deal on a BOB stroller at a JBF event last night!
@mrsmarygs I was planning to step away from the office part but continue selling (working in life insurance) from home. But it's not the end of the world.
@cmar1006 thank you! It's for the best. I'm feeling better already lol
@mrs_tacos we don't really know yet lol on the DL (not like you guys would tell anyone in my real life so I'm not worried about it) we did a LOT of talking today and DH has been talking with recruiters. But that's all we know for now!
@MrsJessS Good for you!!!! It's sad that some people think it's okay to treat others so poorly. Will you be job hunting soon? Or can you take some downtime?
@wyomama0427 I'm excited for you! I hope it works out and you guys end up somewhere fun and with more to offer
Re: Weekly Randoms 4/3
@Msashley2010 Yay! Congrats on the boy! So glad the US went well, it sounds a lot like the place I went and we loved it.

@wyomama0427 that's exciting whatever you guys choose. I love the adventure of moving but I hate packing and unpacking everything.
@labby18 I cant believe the AT&T dude. I hope you or DH pull the pregnancy card. I totally would and I would have no shame about it.
@wyomama0427 if you move you'll have to change your name again. Oh maybe that's how you can tell us where you are going.
For a specific random conversation:

All I can do is laugh.
