Kale bugs

There are these little Kale bugs on my plants that seem to be infesting the walls of our balcony. It's kind of gross and i'm wondering if i should just get rid of the plants.  they're also on the other plants too but a huge portion of them are on the Kale. What do you think?

A quick trip to Costco with the sisters + babies

1. Is never quick 
2. Is never cheap
3. And will never fit in one cart 

Haha! We did it again! 

New Love Notes Blog

So, we added a new blog for our love notes to each other. Its actually just a better method of letting the other person read about what's going on throughout the day without the faulty emails that seemed to have stopped working. Blogger allows me to email my posts and publishes them when i'm on the go. I can't even mention how many times i've sat around with my phone in my hand and wanted to tell Joaquin what i've been doing or how somethings reminded me of him but can't. This way I can snap a picture or send a note and have it go to the blog. It's a good way to document everything and look back on how far we're going along during this deployment.

It's going to be a long and lonely year... at least with this, we can make it go by just a little bit faster with updates!

Marital Rating Scale- Full Test

How funny is it that I find a test from the 1930's that in my opinion is still quite accurate but at the same time insanely hilarious... red toe nails--> demerit!? come on!

When I found the article of a quick clipping for just the first page I instantly decided to search to find the full test. Apparently it's not easy to find since most postings are just the first page. I hope this helps everyone.

Babies R'nt Us

Everyone is having babies but us. It seems like the trend and although I know now isn't the time I still can't help bit get a little jealous sometime. To make myself feel a little better, i'm posting up this comic that I came across that was hilarious! Enjoy :p

3 years

So it's our 3 year anniversary on the 3rd. On our first anniversary i
got a plaque for us which was to be updated every year with the
location that we're at (since we're planning to spend more time in the
military). Its for our tracking of where we've been through the years
and also to remind us every time that we see it how much we love one
another. it's a funny thing because i dont think we've ever forgotten.
the first year was great; the second year was better; the third was
apart but 3 times stronger. I cant help but in a way give credit to
the deployment for making our relationship just that much better. it's
amazing that i still wake every morning and smile and the thought of
Joaquin. He's still the most beautiful person i know... marrying him
is still the best thing i've ever done.

Love of my life

Once again it has been a long time since I have updated anything on the page. Not a lot changes, that is good and bad. It is bad because I am here and it is the same thing over and over. I dont have the energy to find new things so you go through the same routine over and over, I get up same time, see the same people as I walk to the showers, then to work then to lunch then to dinner then to the chu and then sleep. Things don't change, I love my wife more than anything, every day I love her in every way i can and I think of her every chance I get. The stories never get old, the this time and that time and how we met NEVER gets old. I smile when I tell it, they laugh when they hear myspace and then I show them pictures of us and they are stunned at how gorgreous she is. I tell them I have been blessed in life, but nothing compared to when I met her, nothing compared to when I first kissed her or loved her and then nothing compared to when she became my wife and honestly nothing compared to when I am away. Because I would rather be away and in love that not in love at all, or worse to never have found true love.
