Yesterday was our second wedding anniversary. It's so hard to believe it's been two years. Sometimes it feels longer (not in a bad way!) and other times it seems just like yesterday. Steven truly is my prince charming. No one ever told me how difficult marriage really is. It's not all rainbows and cotton candy. In a marriage, you HAVE to work everything out because you are kinda stuck together. My transition from Cali to Missouri was difficult by myself let alone throwing someone else into the mix, but Steven was patient and understanding. He is sweet and thoughtful and just such a genuine person which is almost impossible to find nowadays. Sometimes I just stare at him remembering him back in high school and how we both had a crush on each other then. Sometimes I can't believe we are married and that I have such a great partner/best friend in my life.
In the past two years, life has thrown me a lot of curve balls and Steven has been by my side in some not so ideal situations. He's been by my side when I was upset and devastated with my aunt's breast cancer. He's also been by my side with all of my breast cysts. He's a trooper going to the doctor with me and I know he doesn't like them sticking me but having him just in the room cracking jokes and keeping my mind off of the doctor knocking on the door means so much to me. He supports me seriously with ANYTHING I want to do. Whatever makes me happy or whatever will make me feel better with taking drastic decisions about my breast health, he always puts me first. There are sooo many reasons why I'm truly, madly, deeply in love with him.
On another note, our anniversary falls on the day of Steven's friend Victor's wife's birthday, Crystal Rodriguez. Steven went to high school with Victor and when Steven and I started dating, Victor and Crystal would hang out with us. When we sent out wedding invitations, she told me that it would be her 21st birthday, but they would still come. Last June, they got married and while they were on their honeymoon, we had just got home to visit in Cali and we were going to hang out with them when they got back. Tragically, Crystal and Victor where in a horrible accident on their honeymoon and Crystal had passed away. I'll never forget that day and every year we have our anniversary, I will always think of Crystal. Happy Birthday Crystal.

Junebug
So my last post was about what kind of dog we wanted to get when we got settle back home, but things can change! 4 weeks ago we bought a Weimaraner!!! She was 12 weeks old when we bought her, and it was LOVE at first sight. I was super nervous, but not that we have her, there's no way I could live without her.
Here's a little info on June and how she's doing. Her name is June "Junebug" Garcia and she was born on December 12, 2011! She loves chewing on rawhides (rawhides are pacifiers for puppies). She loves eating grass, chasing leaves, picking up rocks and eating dandelions. She knows sit, down, high five, shake and up (to dance with me). She's great on walks and runs. We just need to work on not cutting right in front of you. She is a HUGE snuggle bug and loves to snuggle up on the couch next to you. She's already gained like 10 pounds in the last 4 weeks. She's about 30 pounds! She loooooves to eat and loves treats. Really good appetite. She's pretty much already potty trained too. She has accidents maybe once a week. She definitely is a "velcro dog." She follows me around everywhere. She follows me into the bathroom and stands up on the vanity and watches me wash my hands. She follows me all around the house doing chores. She's lost almost all of her milking teeth minus the canine which we are excited about. She's a little nippy, but she's gotten a lot better. She's such a sweetheart. We are sooo in love with her and she's in love with us. Can't wait to introduce her back home to all of our family and friends.

And A Puppy Makes Four!
Steven has been wanting a dog FOREVER! I told him not until we have a fence. We have a huge backyard but in Missouri they don't believe in fences which drives me CRAZY because all the other dogs use my yard. ick! Now that we got orders to Beale I've decided to get Steven a puppy once we get settled into a house! We are looking for a dog that can run on trails with Steven when he mountain bikes. That can run, walk, or ride with me. Be a great guard dog, great with kids (eventually), a total lovebug, and also get along with our cat! We've been reading up about the different breeds and also been watching all the dog shows on tv. These are the breeds we've been thinking about! Enjoy all the cute pics!
First is a Rhodesian Ridgeback! They are originally from Africa and were breed to protect hunters from lions! Totally B.A.! As you can tell in the second picture, their fur along their spine grows the opposite way! sooooo beautiful and cute!
Next is the Weimaraner. Steven and I are soooo in love with this dog. Weimie owners say that they always have to be next to you and touching you. A big snuggle bug, but still likes to be out and active! I love their grey coloring and their eyes are absolutely gorgeous! <3
A couple months ago a house on my way to base had a litter of Doberman Pinscher puppies that I fell in love with. Every time I drove by the house I slowed down so I could see them better! Steven has a riding buddy who lives in Blue Springs that has two. They are great guard dogs and good with kids! Not sure if I like the traditional brown and black or the red! We watching the AKC dog show and the Doberman's name was Fifi! haha thought that was funny!

Gotta put a pic of them with their ears! hehe
Hope you enjoyed all of our puppy pics and picks! hehe Within the next year I'll be blogging about a new four legged addition to our family!

Home Sweet Home Ideas!
Lately, I haven't had much to blog about other than I'm SOOOOOO excited that we are moving back in May. Work has been madness! We had to fire the other manager so I took on his hours. Super long days with the little time off cleaning up the house.
The weather here has been gorgeous and we have been taking advantage of it. The other day it was 65 so we drove to the city. Steven went mountain biking and I went shopping! I decided to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and I fell in LOVE with this bed set. It's not girly or flowery.
I'm thinking black, NO bench.
Table by itself. Can seat up to 8 people with the leaf!!!
Thinking of a chair like this, just not sure about the color.
I'd really like an entertainment center that we could store all of our movies and all of Steven's XBOX stuff, but also display some items. Steven has a ton of trophies for a lack of words from winning Airmen of the quarter. It would nice for them to be displayed so everyone can see instead of in our room going unnoticed!

This is the one I saw in the store. SOOO gorgeous. Way too pricey, but I love the color combinations!
This one is also really nice and better priced! Bed in a bag! I want a neutral color with an accent color that makes it pop!
Next I went to World Market which is conveniently located next door! I feel in love with this table and matching buffet!
Here's the buffet. Imagine it in black!

Well I hope you guys enjoyed my idea blog. I've been dreaming of this for a while and after that day of looking around in those two stores it's becoming real that we really are moving home! We don't know how long it will take for us to find a house, but when we do we are going to have a big housewarming/welcome home celebration! :) See you soon everyone!!!!
