New Beginnings!

So its been a while since I have posted anything. Lets see, a lot has happened since October. In December my husband went to a promotion board and passed with only 24 hours of studying and I am so proud of him. We have been waiting since then for him to make points so he can become an NCO. He made points for Jan but wasn't able to get all the paperwork in in time. He made points in Feb and has been waiting to get pinned, which has been a bunch of drama and people not knowing how to do their job.lol. But we are hoping by the end of this month he can officially be Sgt Williams!! We want to get it done before the 1st of March because he is wanting to reenlist and that needs to be March 1st. We are trying to pay all of our credit cards off so we can be debt free! That will be nice to no longer have credit cards! I really cant wait to be debt free because I have to buy a new car for me. My explorer took a crap on me and died so I have to get a new one because living on one car is not easy. I know what I want but Idk if it will be what we get.lol. I am completely in love with the Mini Cooper and I want to find a used one. Mike said we will get it if its what I want, such a sweetheart! We recently started working out daily and eating so much better and watching how much we eat. Its been nice and I have been having a lot more energy since we started it. I have lost around 20 pounds so far so thats GREAT!!! I know I have been so sore I can barely move because its been so long since I have worked out my muscles like this. Mike has been trying to lose a little but gain muscle. Me, I just want to lose some fat.lol. All this pain and not eating grease will be worth it once I get to where I want to be. We all are trying to get healthy, even our dog! We have out her on a diet and trying to get her more exercise, she like her momma is overweight and she needs to lose about 20-25 pounds. Its going to take a while for her but we want her to be healthy and live for 20 years! We have been talking more about having a little one. I want to be a mom but at the same time I am scared for it to not be just the two of us anymore. Its only been us for over 7 years and it just makes me worry how we will handle it. I think we will be really great parents and we will love our baby more than anything but Idk I guess sometimes I wonder if it will take a toll on our relationship. I am probably just worrying for nothing but its something I think about sometimes. I know we have decided that this cycle of birth control I am on will be my last. I dont see us getting pregnant fast, especially since I have been on birth control continuously for the past 5 years. I am pretty nervous that its going to be hard for us to get pregnant because endometriosis runs in my family and my mom thinks I might have it. And on top of all of this my husband is deploying again sometime within the next 7 months, I cant say the exact month or time frame due to OPSEC rules. This not stating stuff like training and deployment times to keep our soldiers safe. This will be our second deployment, everyone says it will be easier but I dont think it will be. Its hard for me to be away from him for a week let alone for a year or longer. We still dont know when he is leaving which is irritating to say the least. Since he is trying to get healthy he has decided to quit tobacco which surprised me. Its not a secret I dont like it but its one of the few things that helps him calm down at work with how stressful his job is. It shocked me when I asked if he needed me to pick up anymore and he said nope I quit. He has been using these nicorette lozenges and they help some but he has been really moody since he quit the tobacco.lol. But I will live with a crappy husband than a tobacco using husband.lol. I think that is pretty much it for now. I am going to try my hardest to keep this updated from now on.
