Well, the room borders came today, but I didnt go out and get paint to paint the bedroom. I dont think I am going to paint anymore. Trent doesnt really want to paint the room, plus we dont own the house, so we will have to repaint when we move out, and Im sort of sick of painting anyway from our house down in GA. It would be so cute to have a blue room, but we do have wall decorations, and now this border, and we have a few things to put on the wall so hopefully it wont be too shabby. Trent got me a blanket while he was in Iraq and it has a big teddy bear on it.. so maybe I will hang that on the wall. It would go cute with the blue jean teddy bear theme. Only, the bear on the blanket is wearing camo... oh well. :) If anyone has any ideas, feel free to send them my way.
I didnt really do a whole lot today.. I cleaned mostly. Started to actually organize the bedrooms that we put all our misc crap in when we moved in. The guest room and Travis' room. I did some laundry, and just basically got some chores done. I put all the loose cords behind the tv so you cant see them now. WOOO HOOO Exciting life of the married woman!
I havent been sleeping the last two nights. I was up until 4 am the night before last night, and about 3:30 or so this morning. I havent really been tired during the day... but I guess I havent really be as active lately. I havent been to the gym in awhile. I have church tomorrow, but I might go to the gym after that. Maybe that will help me sleep a little more.... I have a lot on my mind.. and the baby is almost here, so Im nervous about that.... Its just a lot of stuff to think about. Trent's mom is gonna come give me a hand around the middle of Oct. It was sort of hard last time when she visited.... It was a lot of things.... I mean, we had 4 people living with us, and they had been with us for about 4 months or so, and I got frustrated really easy. Trent's mom is so amazing. she is a wonderful hardworking woman, but I got babied a lot, and it was really hard. I like to clean and cook and be a housewife, and I can only spend so much time plahing computer games.... Tonight, I had a conversation with her about the stuff that was bothering me, and it was a really great conversation. Im hoping that when she visits this time, it will be less stressful. It will be only her this time I think, and the housing rules here state that a guest can only stay for 30 days, which puts a limit on ANY guest that we have, which is actually probably really good for me and Trent because when we had all those guests before for so long, we got stressed out with each other too. But- I do appreciate that she wants so much to come and help me out. I dont have anyone down here to help me besides trent, and I dont know if he will be around much with this training he is going through.
I miss MN. I miss the fall weather everyone keeps talking about. Its still really hot here. I miss my friends.... I havent talked to a real person in like 3 days except the checkout lady at the commassary, and the mailman today for like 5 minutes. I had a couple phone calls, but thats about it... Now that Im writing this, I am remembering that I was supposed to call sandra last night!!! Yikes. I think im gonna go do that now.
Later

Well today was a better day.

I went to lowes this morning and picked up a raised garden set and some veggies to plant and some soil. I bought a few seeds of beans and a few seeds of cucumbers. I dont know if I waited to long to plant them, or if they will turn out. It says to plant them between may and oct in this area, but they only need max 50 days to sprout, so hopefully I can get SOMETHING to grow. Im actually really excited about this garden. Its the first garden I have ever planted. If the veggies dont turn out, I think I will go buy some flowers that grow all year long.

Its a shame that pine trees dont die off in the winter, cuz we have one in our back yard, and I raked the pine needles out of yard today also. I am SO thankful in that respect for a smaller yard because raking pine needles is a crappy job. Especially when there are hidden doggy surprises in the pine needles. But, the yard looks better, and I feel so great that I finally got outside today. I didnt go to the grocery store, but I will do that tomorrow morning. I think Im gonna get zuchinni and make some bread.

I am trying to eat healthier. I mean, I have been trying for a long time, but its hard to eat healthy because its so much more expensive to eat healthy. I buy apples and that usually is a good snack, and I LOVE the snacks that kashi makes. The pumpkin pecan bars are SO SO SO FRIGGIN good. But aside from apples and frozen veggies, the healthiest thing I know how to make is chicken, and Trent gets sick of chicken after so long, so I am trying to come up with some more ideas. I know there is a book somewhere that shows you how to make all kinds of food with veggies in the recipes but the veggies are hidden. Its a book for kids, to help them eat healthy, but Im thinking thats a great idea.

Baby Travis is growing so big. I have my 32 week appointment and Im getting so nervous. Im down to about 8 weeks now before he is due. Trent ordered this thing in the mail called a bumbo. Its a little foam seat that holds the baby up once he is strong enough to hold his head up. I got that in the mail today, and so our collection of baby items continues! We are still on the hunt for a carseat, a stroller, and a diaper bag, and a few other small items, but mostly, we have a lot of good stuff already. We have TONS of clothes, some toys already, a baby book, the crib and bedding, a running stroller, the shelf for all his stuff... I cant wait to get a real comfy chair to sit on at 3 am while Im listening to that cute screaming session I know travis is going to be having. :)

guess thats all for tonight! later.

IM SO BORED!
I am just getting settled into this new house, and I havent met anyone yet, and I dont know my way around here yet, and Trent just left yesterday and we have no communication whatsoever... so- here I am. I've been watching friends since we moved in because we have no cable. I LOVE friends, but Im going a little stir crazy.
I took Echo and Gurl to a dog park today. It was a nice idea, but it was boiling hot outside, and there were no other dogs. It was just a big fenced in area with no shade... If I would have just let them outside in the back yard, they would have at least had the shade of the pine tree in our back yard.. but at least I got to get out of the house.
I talked to my friend Sarah tonight, and she gave me the idea of gardening as something to keep me busy. I have never gardened before, so I have no clue what Im doing, but I think its a good idea. Im gonna go to lowes tomorrow I think and get a can of paint for travis's room and some stuff to start my very first garden. That will get me out of the house, then maybe keep me occupied for a while.
Maybe I will go to the gym tomorrow too. I need to get off of this couch! Does anyone know of anything fun to do in or around Fort Bragg? PLEASE let me know.
I also have to go grocery shopping tomorrow. It will be nice to get out and spend some time just getting out of the house.
Joyce called me tonight, she and Erin are planning a baby shower for me! I am really really excited. Erin and I are about two weeks apart. I went to her baby shower and it was so much fun. I wasnt expecting to have a baby shower, but Im so glad I have people that care about me enough to throw me one. Not knowing anyone in a new place is always hard, but it's harder when you are 8 months preggo.
IM 8 MONTHS PREGGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP! Its getting SO CLOSE! Ill take more pics of baby Travis' room when I get it painted.

alright- time for bed! Night!

Trent left today at 3:30 this morning. It will be a little bit before I get to see or talk to him again, but I think it will be alright.

Im sitting on the couch blogging thinking of going grocery shopping. I really just want to start blogging again. A lot of people are out of the loop in my life and always ask me for updates so I guess if I actually kept up on a blog then I wouldnt feel so bad about not keeping in touch.

I am 31 weeks preggo now, and Im getting a bit uncomfy.

His name is Travis Wayne. We decorated his crib with blue jean teddy bear designs and I ordered a wall border to match it. We bought the bedding set at this expo at the crown center downtown north carolina. Usually, the bedding sets are like 300.00 for the whole set, but we got this one for about 40 dollars. NICE.

Im gonna paint the babies room I think. Im not sure If Im up to it cuz Im so sick of painting our house in GA before we moved out. Plus, its harder to move around and get up high when ur belly sticks out 10 feet.

We are still working on moving in. The house is considerably smaller than our last house but it's easier to keep up with because we don't own it. There are still boxes to unpack. Normally, I'm really good at getting the whole house unpacked in about a week. I LOVE to unpack and get the house set up, but it's so much harder to get motivated now. Being preggo really puts a damper on doing housework. I guess it's not something I can explain unless you have been there, but it really sucks.

We set up our hookah finally! I really like it. I have had it for about a year or so now and we have never set it up because a piece broke when Trent shipped it to me from the sandbox. Im gonna go out sometime soon a buy a replacement part. We already have tobacco. I think its fruit flavored. Im really excited to have a wine hookah party after travis comes along.

Not much is going on today... I really want to take the dogs out to the park and maybe go fishing. I havent been fishing in a long time, but Trent and I went to Gander Mountain yesterday and I got really excited about going fishing. We went to Gander Mountain to look for a GPS to geocache. We found two geocaches yesterday and left a travel coin. Im sort of excited to see where it ends up. We want it to hit Lock Haven, Pa, Big Lake, MN, and a few other little places, and then wherever it ends up. Geocaching is a pretty fun time. It gets you outside and out of the house. GEOCACHING.COM if you are interested. You dont need a GPS, I use my iphone and it works alright... but a GPS would be so much better.

Well I'm off to eat some lunch I think.
