HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!!!

Today is my husbands birthday and I so wish I was there to celebrate with him. Unfortunately that is not possible this year. He is at Fort Sam and I am here in Utah. This last year we have been apart for our 2nd year anniversary, my 21st birthday and now his 27th birthday.... I love this man with all my heart and I really, honestly don't know what I would do without him in my life. He makes me smile when I am down, and he always knows what to say to make everything better.
He does so much for me all the time, and most of the time he doesn't even know that he is doing it. He is working so hard to make our life better not only for us, but for our future family also.

Adam if you are looking at this post, please know that I love you, my love cannot be measured because it continues to grow each and ever day. I love you so much and it kills me not to be with you on your birthday. You mean the world to me and you are my world! You are my everything! I love you Adam!!! Happy Birthday my Love!!

Sorry

I'm sorry that I have not blogged in a while, but I do have a GOOD excuse....I've started yet another semester of school. This Semester I am taking Nutrition (which is not that hard of a class) and I am taking Anatomy. Anatomy has taken over my life, I study every minute I get to. I have a friend who is taking it and we go up to take our lecture class together on Tuesdays from 6-9pm, and we have different lab times. Mine is from 4-6:50pm on Thursdays. Along with having to go up to the school twice a week I go up on Saturdays and go to open lab, were we do our homework and pass off our oral quizzes (one, out of our 3 quizzes we have each week). All I can say is that I am happy that I am only taking one other class along with this, and working. I don't know how people take a full schedule and have Anatomy and pass it.

These are my lovely Books. The one on top is the Lab book and it's about 3inchs thick and was $88.00

My books yet again.

Don't get me wrong, I do like this class, and it's fun to learn all this new stuff, it's just a LOT of information to memorize and remember. We learned the bones of the superior limbs (aka-your arms), and we have to know all the landmarks and spell the correctly. I think that the humerus has the most so far.

Well now you know what it going on in my life and why I am so busy and can't blog. Oh, and Adam only have 5 weeks left!! 2 weeks of training in classroom and the 2 weeks of going to Camp Bullis and then they have a week to do paperwork and such before they come HOME!!! Can't wait to have him home, maybe he can help me with my Anatomy.

The most Wonderful TWO weeks!

I know that I have not blogged in over two weeks, but I do have a great excuse...Adam got to come home for Christmas on the 17th and so I have been spending 24/7 with him until today. Today I had to take him up to the airport at 5 in the morning, very early and very cold.

This is us on the 17th when Adam got off the plane and into my arms.

He is so handsome, I LOVE HIM!

The two weeks we had together went by way too fast. We were kept busy with Christmas, playing the wii at his parent's house, and my brother's wedding. I am so grateful that Adam was able to come home for Christmas, it really was the best gift I could ask for! The first day Adam got back he froze, he had a hoodie, coat and a beanie on and he still was cold. By the next day he was starting to get use to the cold.

Today when I took Adam up to the airport it was crazy busy and it was only 6 am when we got there. Lucky for me I was able to get a gate pass and I got to be with Adam up till the time that he had to go on the plane. So instead of having to see him off at the security check point I got to spend an extra 1.5 hours with him. When he had to go on the plane I cried a LOT! There was another girl that was saying goodbye to her loved one in the military and she cried a lot too. I can't wait for the next 6 weeks and 5 days to go by when I get to see my Adam again.

Here are some pictures of our puppies that are going way fast.

My Medic Man

Adam sent me these pictures the other day and I thought I would share them with you.

Now that he is in the Wiskey training he has to wear full body armor and everything during his training.

Here is one of him with everything except his helmet

Here he is with everything on. His backpack alone is 30lbs!

I love this man so much, he is my medic man!

He is so lucky today, he gets to do IVs! I am so jealous because I want to learn to do them soooo BAD!

Only 1 Day and 5.5 hours left!!!

Puppies!!

It seems as though Daisy looks as though she is going to pop out puppies anytime....Well yesterday after church I went outside to check on her and she came out of her house and was skinny again. Well she had her puppies, all 8 of them. They are so cute! We are pretty sure who the dad is so that would make the puppies Australian Kelpie/shepherd cross mixed with a blue heeler/border collie cross.

She is such a good mommy!

So if anyone wants a puppy let me know, we will be starting to sell them in about 8 weeks.

Another thing I did this week was my scrapbook page for my Dixon side. Every year everyone makes a scrap book page and that is our present to everyone on that side. We all have cool scrapbooks now. I love my page, it turned out so good this year. This year we have to have 17 copies!

ONLY 4 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ADAM!!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Insulation and Diaper Cake

As I have mentioned before in past posts, we are finishing the attic in my brother in laws house so we can live up there. It is taking a lot longer than we thought it would, but we finally got to the point were we got to have the insulation put in! Now we are just waiting for the guy to come do the drywall. He was suppose to come last Monday then it was Wednesday and then it was Friday and he never came. So I really hope he gets it done before Adam comes home for Christmas.
On Friday one of my friends from high school had her baby shower. She is having a girl and is due on Jan. 16. She is so cute and tiny. At almost every baby shower I go to I make a diaper cake. I love making them, they are so fun and easy to make. Here is her diaper cake, which she loved.

I know you can't see it very well but I make her six bows and my mom made me the headbands so that she can clip the bows onto them.

The cute outfit I got her, my friends twin sister got her this same outfit but in purple and its for a 9m instead of 6m.

Thanksgiving in TEXAS!

For Thanksgiving this year I flew down to Texas so I could spend 4 DAYS with Adam! It was the best weekend EVER! Getting to spend the 4 days with him and only him and not having to share him with anyone else was the best thing I could ever ask for.

I flew out on Wednesday after our "BIG" snow storm. haha not really much of a storm. Adam got to call me before I flew because he had just gotten released early due to the fact that they took their national EMT test. Adam passed of course, and I am very proud of him. He is doing so well and I love him with all my heart.

When I left Utah it was 17 degree and then when I got to San Antonio at 11pm it was 70 degrees! I love it, it was so nice not to be freezing!

So before I go on I need to tell you just how much I HATE driving in places I don't know and San Antonio is pretty big and it was dark when I got there which makes it even harder to find the places you need to find. Lets just say I got lost trying to find my hotel, I missed my exit and got off at the next one then I went back and got off on the wrong one again and to say the least I was freaking out. I think Adam was freaking out more so because he was waiting for me to call him when I got to the hotel and I didn't text him saying I got lost because my phone was about to die. After much driving I finally made it to the hotel, and was able to call Adam.

The next day, Thanksgiving I waited and waited by my phone to go off with a text message so that I could go pick up Adam after he was released for the day. I had to wait till 11:30AM! It seemed to last forever, most likely because I just couldn't wait any longer to see him. It was so nice to finally hug and kiss him once more, and yes I did start to cry. Adam was even more excited when we got into the car and I handed him a container full of his favorite chocolate chip cookies that I make.

Later that day we decided to walk to the Alamo, and the walk which we thought would only take like 20 mins took us 40ish mins.

The ALAMO

Adam in front of the Alamo

You're not allowed to take pictures of the inside so I don't have any of those, but it is really cool and I'm so happy we went. We were told that the whole battle where everyone died only lasted 30-90 minutes before it was over.

This is me at the back side of the Alamo

At a really cool fountain at the Alamo

Adam took this cool picture of me at the Alamo

After we went to the Alamo we decided it was hot and we wanted some ice cream. It was so good!

My husband is the greatest!

For dinner we decided that we wanted to go eat on the Riverwalk. A lot of the restaurants had a traditional Thanksgiving meal that you could buy but we decided to get hamburgers instead and they were pretty good. We also got chips and cheese which was my favorite.

Here is Adam while we ate dinner right by the river

And me, the riverwalk is so pretty, it reminds of Venice, Italy.

It is so weird to see Christmas decorations up with no snow around. While we were there we saw lots of tour boats going up and down the river. One day when and if we ever go back to San Antonio we want to do dinner on the river. They do a really nice dinner for you on the boats, it looks really cool and hopefully one day we'll be able to do that.

On Friday we didn't do much besides just spending time with each other.

On Saturday we went to see the Towers of America.

Adam and the Tower.

Me and the Tower

It was really cool to go up the glass elevator and you get to see the whole city.

I love Adam and all his funny faces that he makes. Makes me laugh all the time.

After we went to the Towers of America we went and walk around the Riverwalk again and we ran into some buddies of Adam's that we gave a ride to earlier in the day and we went and had dinner at a Mexican restaurant. It got really cold this night it got down to like 60 or so and we were cold so we went to Mcdonald's and got some Hot Chocolate.

Sunday which was our last day together we mostly just sat around at the hotel and watch a movie and ate popcorn. Neither of us have had popcorn in a long time. The hardest part about Sunday was driving him back to base one last time and hugging him goodbye. I didn't want to stop hugging him at all. I had to have him back early on Sunday compared to the other days. Sunday he had to be back at 9 instead of the normal 10'0 clock time. Next time if I ever do go down to San Antonio again I want to get a hotel on the Riverwalk if I can.

Now I only have to wait 17 DAYS till I pick him up front the airport for Christmas break. In between that I just need to get through my 2 tests and 2 finals.!
