Time for an update....

    I never knew how much I was in love with Jon until he left last week on Saturday. Saying goodbye to him and letting go of his hand was the most awful and hard thing I have ever done...Whoever said that deployments and saying goodbye is going to get easier.... oh man they sure are wrong... I don't think it will ever get easier. The days, weeks, and months that went by was the most annoying, hard, misrable and amazing time I have spent with Jon. I wouldn't trade it for the world... I regret the times I fought with him and I regret the times we where at each others throats. But I know with him gone for seven months or so. It will make us stronger and our lover grow.
    Anyways; I got a new job... I'm a Chiropractic Assistant at Schilsky Chiropractic Center.... It was a huge blessing that I got this and I was lucky to even get an interview... Yes; I am no longer with American Eagle. As much as I loved working with 'certian' people I had to let it go. The reason why I quit was because I couldn't see myslef working there forever. So I quit. It wasnt even two days that I was jobless that I got an interview and after 20minutes into the interview I got hired on the spot.  I have to tell yah. That I wanted to quit and leave after two weeks into it. I was so overwhelmed and I was on my feet all day long and I didn't get no sleep at all.
But the more I worked and the more I pushed myself to become a better employee I realized that it wasn't a job and a paycheck every two weeks. It's helping those who are in need and in pain. Helping patients get better. I realized that working and helping other made me a better person and I count my blessing everyday.
   We took professional pictures a few days before he left... I'll let ya'll take a peak; the rest is on my facebook.

Stronger than yesterday...

   As each day passes by and Jon is not here by my side; I know that deep down inside I am getting a little stronger... I guess you can say I'm preparing myself before he leaves for his second deployment? He is currently in Twentynine Palms; California. He's only goint to be there for a month to do some 'intense' training... (He told Cheryl and I that when he's in California he will take 'bag' showers and live in a tent... that's what he ment by 'intense')

I want to say thank you to the young man that has an IPHONE and lets Jon uses it to get internet connection so we can have a skype date. But hopefully they will all come home soon and that his friend will come home in time for the birth of their first child.

It's so crazy that in two months Jon will be gone and I wont see his handsome face for about seven months if that more. But it's not another MEU deployment...He will be going to Afghanistan... Yep; I said it Afghanistan... I don't even want to think about him going over there. I know that I sound like a little whiney marine wife and that I need to grow up and get over it. But; give me a break... It's my first 'land' deployment and I'm a little nervous about it all... I don't know what to expect and what to think and how to react. I'm a little afraid that hes going to come home different. I have a million things running through my head and it's making me go crazy... I just want him to come home safe next year and not be different and be that same funny, crazy, silly guy that I fell in love with.

Am I being paranoid?

Tomorrow Tomorrow....

Oh how I can't wait for tomorrow... It's only a day aaawwwaaayyyy.  As you can see how EXCITED I am that I'm going to see my dad for the first time since July 2009. I've missed him so stinking much. It sucks that I don't get to talk or/and see him as often as other. Since he pretty much lives on the other side of the world... But anyways my father is coming to visit us for a week. I know there will be a slight chance I'm going to get annooyeed of him after 3 or 4 days. Since Jon and my father loves to drink and crack jokes on me every chance they get. Which puts me in a grumpy mood. But I know I will forever be a daddy's girl. :) It sucks that my mom can't come to visit since my Aj still has school and my dad is only coming because he has some ball/class thing for his MOS. I really don't know. But hopefully I will get to visit my family in S.Korea sooon. Thats if I have that money to spend on a ticket.
We are going to do a ton of things. Which I'm excited about. Plus a BBQ on Saturday. =) Im going to make spinach artichoke dip and Mandiy potatoe recpie. =)

saranghaeyo.

Say it with me now.... SA-RAN (g is silent) HEY-O. Say it one more time.....
There yah go! Saranghaeyo means 'I love you' in Korean.

I don't know if there is something in the Jacksonville water. But I've lately I've been having such a HUGE sweet tooth. Also I've been eating cheese, crackers, grapes, and strawberries all together. Jon thinks I'm prego; and thinks I should take a test. Boy the look I gave him made him think twice. I know I'm not pregnant and I know my body 1984398439 times better then Jon and anyone else.

Anyways; I've been obsessed with baking. YES; baking. I remember when I was younger.  I used to bake all the time with my mom and when Jon and I had our first home. We made a dozen of things like upside down pineapple cake, cupcakes, muffins and soooo much more. Now that I've been introduced to Bakerella.com I've been baking like I could own my very own bakery. Hmmmm I wonder what I could call it. Sarang Bakery??? Sarang means 'love' in Korean. I remember the first time Jon said "I love you" to me. We went to Myrtle Beach for day trip and was laying out on the beach and soaking up the sun... It was so cute and funny. I still smile till this day when I think about it. How he tucked my hair behind my ear and whispered into my ear saying  'Saranghaeyo'.  He's so stinking cute. lol.

Another thing that I've been obsessed with is Summer Rolls. It's a Vietnamese style dish. Some people eat it as a snack, main meal, or a appetizer. But I've been eating it as a meal. It's very very healthy for you and a good diet food. My mom swears to me up and down that she lost weight eating this and not fat food. lol

This is what they look like. That brown stuff is peanut sauce that you can eat with it. But Cheryl eats it with Soy Sauce and I eat it with a mixture of this spicy sriracha sauce, three crabs fish sauce mint leaves, and jalapenos. You can get the sriracha sauce from wal-mart in the 'Asian' section. There are many ways to make this and you can just sipmly google it.  We usually use lettece, cucumbers, rice noodles, shrimp, crab meat, mint leaves, and little beef pieces. Trust me ya'll would LOVE it. You can get the rice nododles and rice paper at your local Asian Market. We have one here in Jacksonville off of Western... I hope you try them out and ENJOY :)
My new favorite yummmy dessert is Strawberry Short Cake. Let me tell you. Its heaven in your mouth. I also made a Banana Nut Bread last night and added a few things here and there and its soooooo freaking AMAZING. Just thought I share..
Well; it's almost 2:30pm and I need to get off and get ready so Jon and I can go to Tire Country to get another effin tire.
Have a BEAUTIFUL day...

Happpppyyy Birthday to ME =)

I am still at awe that I am 22 years old.... I feel kind of old (sorry to the others that is 22+ I'm really not trying to be mean...)  Anyways what I mean is that time is flying by super fast and honestly I am not liking it one bit... I mean I've been here in this lame town for a year now... A freaking year! Which I am not a huge fan of.... But hopefully Jon will get stationed somewhere nice like ahem Hawaii or Oki and hopefully the Allens can join us as well. I love them to death. Best married couple ever.

Anywho; My mom told me I'm getting old and I should watch out for fine lines and grey hair. :/ and she also said I'm always going to be young. In her cute adorable Korean accent.... ha ha ha... She always thinks that she is going to be that 21 yr old woman forever even in her 40's/

Well; for my birthday on April 10. I didn't do much durnig the day time because Jon treated me like a queen. :) He made me a cake and I was over his shoulders the entire time and telling him "No don't mix it like that" or "Why are you cracking the eggs like that" "You can re uses that measuring cup!!!! Don't waste stuff" and I just throw my hands in the air because I am so FRUSTRATED with him when it comes to cooking. lol

OHHH!!! How can I forget... Earlier that morning. I was bawling my eyes out because someone decided to mess up my tire... It was some idot guy in Jon's old unit that dislikes me because Jon and I had issues in the past... Also how I am wayyy closer to Cheryl  then his wife Amy. It's just High School  drama. HE said that he didn't do it and blah blah blah.. But I know that turd nugget did it as well everyone else. Because he is the only one that we know that has the tool to mess up the tire...  But thank goodness I had my friends and my pooh bear by myside to keep me happy.. Jon fixed the tire :) But we had to buy a new one yesterday because it gave out on me..

But at least I had a really good birthday ;)  I went our with my two good friends and had sooo much fun...

Here are some pictures....

My cake... (Don't ask) Cheryl and I was yelling at him the entire time as he was decorating the cake.

I am due for an update... I've been extremly busy with work, school, baking and cooking new things. As well trying to shed a few pounds off before summer rolls around. So the gym is my second home... I've lost a few inches and my clothes fits a little bit better but I'm still a fatty. As we speak I have a slice of cake sitting right next to me... :(
So a few days ago I went to the meet and greet for 1/8.... It went well not a lot happened they had an OPEN BAR!!! lol.  I meet a few wives and they were extremly nice. We ate dinner and played a few card games at this one couples house yesterday and I made this oh so yummy Triple Chocolate Trifle. I will post pictures toward the end.
Jon gave me flowers!!! Yup! I know!!! Weird... I'm still questioning him today if he did something wrong. lol

pictures... pictures... and more pictures

This has got to be my favorite picture of all time...

We went to Myrtle Beach and had some FUN!
