This past weekend.

This past weekend, my best friend & her fiancee came up for a visit.
They got here late Friday night ( April 21st) & stayed until Sunday, (April 22nd)
While we were all together, we hung around the house, the hubs & justin played video games
& we went out to dinner, went to the Virginia Zoo for the first time! & Zayden loved it.
Me & Magan, Switched phones, she was tired of the iphone & i hate androids, so we switched,
I had the droid 3 btw. & i still think she's crazy for switching! but she said she hated apple products.
so her loss! bless. but she will probably get it back when i get my upgrade in august ;) haha. but anyways.
we had a fun filled weekend, & just wanted to post a little about it since i havent posted in a while. ((:
now, i got to get on a roll of packing up everything. we move May 9th! & im so ready to say goodbye Virginia!!! haha...well my son is getting fussy so its time to go, ill write later.

<3

Ah. It's getting closer. ((:

Closer to the day, that my best friend from back home is coming up for the weekend to visit.
They will be here friday evening sometime! I'm super excited & stroked. Could ya tell? haha.
We have been best friends since 7th grade, *actually hated each other in 6th grade* & honestly
couldnt even tell you why! but anyways, we have stuck like glue since, & she is basically like my other half.
We even used to get asked alll the time when we were younger were we twins! haha, so shes my sister from another mother, which her mom is basically like a second mom to me! (:
& her grandma ;P
but anyways,
Her & Justin are coming to visit, was suppose to see the "new" apartment, but now that we got orders, its to come see the apartment, & visit for the last time in VA. LOL.
but anyways...we are more excited that im moving homeeee. yayyy!

Well Well Well...

This week has been awful, me & josh & zayden have all been sick. stupid allergies, & then next week my best friend/sister magan & her fiancee are coming up for a visit. & i guess the week after that is going to be my most busy week of packing, packing, packing.

I wish my mom could be up here to help me with zayden, because i know with him its gonna be tough to pack without him getting into everything or being rotten & wanting me to hold him every second! Bless his heart.

Hope we all can get rid of this crud, & hope the days while we are back home with the hubby are wonderful.
Mommy & Zayden are sure gonna miss daddy when he goes to MS. :/
& We got to figure out plans for "our" family time for zayden's birthday, i guess we are just going to go out to dinner one night while we are back home & celebrate! & then have his birthday party in june! :D

Leave time!

So, The hubs got word today, about leave time ((:
He checks out on the 9th of May.
&& then we are heading back home!
We will be spending time with family & friends for a few days while he has the time.
&& then he will be heading to Mississippi before May 20th.
I'm going to miss him like crazy, but at least i can go visit. <3


So LONG Virginia!

The visit from the in-laws!

The In-laws came up for Easter Weekend.
They got here Friday, April 6th about 4:15am.
& stayed til Monday, April 9th. ((:

Our weekend involved, going out to eat, shopping, & going to the beach. ((:
Went to the MacArthur Mall in Norfolk. & Went to OceanView Beach.
We ate at Golden Corral for Easter, & lets just say it was slammmed, & had lots of rude people :(
Then we went shopping a few other places.
I believe im going to post some pictures from this weekend.
It was Me, My husband Josh & His Mom & His older sister Jess, & his baby sister Sarah & Zayden.

Sarah is 2 months older than Zayden. ((:

New Orders ((:

Well, I basically made this blog for the fact of being a "NAVY WIFE" & to post events that happens in our lives!
Well Yesterday, the hubs come home in a great mood & with a big smile on his face, & i was like what??? is your problem? & he handed me some papers, & i started reading them! He got his new orders for schooling!
He has to be in Mississippi by May 20th, && we went & talked to the office about our apartment, we CAN get out of lease, so i am moving back home to be with my family & friends, & to save us some $$$ not sure where we will get stationed next, but im praying it wont be VA. (: even though va, is closer to home... im just over this place! I dont want to be at the "Worlds largest naval base!" LOL but anyways, the hubs is really excited about going to MS...but im NOT so excited about packing everything up! ESP. since we just moved to our new apartment not even 2 months ago! ((: & we have to get a uhaul to move everything back home... & We are basically putting everything into storage!


We will be outta here sometime in may!

((:

Headaches

I'm so over theses painful headaches i've been getting recently.
I seriously need to go to the doctor about them, but im the type, i hate & refuse to go!
UGHHH.

Honestly!

I'm ready to be out of VA.
I dont think there is anything left for us here.
:/
I wish josh would hurry up & find out his orders for schooling,
More than likely, i think we are gonna pack up everything & put it in storage since he will be at schooling for 4 months. & PRAY we dont get stationed back here after he is done!
I just hope it's not tooo long before he finds out for sure where he is going!
but more than likely we are gonna put the stuff in storage, & im going to head back to NC.. for the 4 months. & then spend time with family & friends there, & then visit SC with my second family, & then hopefully a trip to Mississippi to see my step dad & my old best friend Tabitha! & then, maybe to Tennessee! To visit my brother ((:
Got alot of traveling going to be coming up!
but i cant wait to do it!

Idk, what it is with VA... but im just over it, & the fact that most of the navy wives are just snobby. :/
I try to make friends, & be the nicest person i can be! but im very thankful for the very few girls that have stood by my side this past year! Rebecca, Lissa, & Renae! ((: You girls will always be my favorite girlies from VA.
I will NEVER forget you! <3

Well Well Well...

I'm sorry i havent been on lately, & updating,
Just been busy. & spending time with the hubs & zayden, & my best friend rebecca.
Today, I was rearranging our apartment, re did the living room & our bedroom & my sons room. ((:
& in the mean time i pulled a muscle in my arm :/ booo it hurts.
but anyways.
I cant believe its April! 1 More month, & my son will be a year old...
I cant believe this!
&& this month is going to be busy,
This thursday my in-laws are coming up, on the 11th my other bestie Renae is coming up for Rebecca's birthday, & then the week after that my best friend/ sister from back home is coming to visit! im soooo excited <3

He always has the cutest little smile,
He is always happy,

No matter what age, he will always be my precious baby boy.

3 days later..

Hmmm. Let me explain.

March 19th, was suppose to be the day my husband iphone was suppose to be delivered to our house.
Well, I got up that monday morning with zayden & something told me to check the tracking thing online, well i did, & it said it had been delivered & signed by some name.... I was so mad, i was shaking & didnt know what to do. So, finally i called fedex. & they tried to tell me sorry, blah blah. & that they would send the driver back to get the package, what had happened, the driver wasnt paying any attention & had dropped 7 packages off at this "BUSINESS" they didnt give me a name. & was suppose to go back & retrieve the package, well... he went back a few hours after it happened. & the man that signed for it had ALREADY left for the day. So,
I blew up fedex until 730 pm that night, because they kept telling me the driver was out & was suppose to go back by...well finally after 8... they called & told me that he had left for the day, & would try to get it first thing tueday morning, March 20th, well... called soon as i hit the floor, & got told the same thing, 2 different times, so finally i asked to speak with a manger, & guess what i got told? that there was no mangers available! YEA RIGHT, there are ALWAYS a manger available. So that was it, i was done, i hung up the phone called verizon and explained what had happened, & everything. & they said they would file a claim against fedex. & that they would ship me another phone overnight express, well about 2 hours after i talked to verizon, fedex finally called me, & said oh you need to file a claim with verizon, we cannot retrieve our package... and we told them that we were already ahead of their game! we had done did that! Well, got the phone today around 12ish. Was trying to activate it, & wouldnt work, so i had to call verizon again! & the person that had signed for the phone had actually tried to activate the phone! & finally the got it down that it was a stolen phone! So hahah goodluck trying to get the phone activated now stupid! well finally got my hubs phone activated!
:)

I hate stupid idiots. esp when they steal something that is NOT theirs!
Stupid VA people on top of it!
but now i cant wait for my hubs to get home & finally see his phone is here & working.
He was so upset yesterday, when he got home from duty, & i had to explain about his phone.

Now, i've been playing with it, even tho it's basically like my ipad. it makes me super jealous! COME ON AUGUST. I WANT MY IPHONE. :D :D

REALLY FEDEX?

You flipping blow.
You delivered my husbands iphone to someone else?
are you kidding me right now?
I am very upset.
considering the fact yall are in and OUT of my apartment complex ALL the time.
& it didnt even make it here, it went to a BUSINESS.
wtf. there are NO businesses near here!
ugh. praying his phone makes it back to us!

This is why i HATE ordering phones offline...
& the fact that someone else SIGNED for it.
& didnt even LOOK at the name.
URGGGGGh.
This is one pissed off lady

fedex, you are now hated by me!

New Camera?

Ah... I've been wanting a new camera for some time now. & the hubs has known it too.
But he finally gave in yesterday. & bought me one! I am so excited! Esp...for this summer on the beach & wherever we go! :] It's not the biggest camera or anything. but i am already in love <3

Stupid Verizon.

Verizon ERKS. My nerves.
Just because my hubs is the primary provider on our account.
He got a early upgrade. Which is totally not fair since we both got our phones the SAME DAY. AT THE SAME TIME. :/ boooo. but He just ordered his iphone! & i dont get a upgrade til August.
LAME.

Sorry for the vent.

HAPPY 10 MONTHS!*

Happy 10 Months to my baby boy Zayden Ryland!
I Love You!
((:

Tomorrow Is a Special Day.*

I can't believe tomorrow will be 6 years since the first time me & my hubs started dating!
We have dated on & off... a few times. but thats life, We met when we were so young. ((:
& just had complications & immatureness. but he's the most amazing thing that has happened to me.
I knew from the first time we started talking, he was the one for me, & the one i would marry someday.
Strange to think that tho. since we were just in highschool. ((:
He came home today, with me a new pair of Rainbow flipflops. My total favorite <3
& I was gonna make it a surprise, & wait til tomorrow to make it, but i'm making a cake for us & for our son....since he will also be 10 months tomorrow!
hehe! I'm hoping it turns out great!
((:

I love you Joshua Lee, & Zayden Ryland.

BABY SISK.

MY BEST FRIEND/SISTER.
Found out today what she is having!
ITS A GIRL!
I'm so excited!
She was there for me through my pregnancy! & bought stuff for zay &

We love you dearly!

So I have no clue when he will be home.

Just a little update from yesterday, ended up not so boring.
After the hubs got home from work, I ended up going & seeing one of my best friends.
Miss Rebecca, She just had knee surgery 2 weeks ago, & her hubby is gone. SO got her out of the house.
& We went & ate at TGI Fridays, & Then went shopping at the mall. Lets just say, the mall turned into a 3 hour trip! & I didnt know we were gonna go to the mall, so i didnt have my stroller. & lets say. To rent a dang buggy. Was $6.00. NEVER AGAIN. that is INSANE.
Well...ended up coming out of Aero with 2 shirts for $10
& Got my hubs 2 shirts from PacSun for $18.
I was excited!
& I finally got home around 9:30 Last night.
& Zay was exhausted! He slept all night last night!

Sup Boring Monday!

Ah... Boring Monday here!
The husband is still at work. & had duty last night.
So.... Tried cleaning up some, but zay's napping so I dont want to wake him up.
I'm so over sitting in this house everyday when the hubs is at work.
Praying we get to go home soon, and get his car on the road.
So at least during the day, me & zay can go to the beach or the park...anywhere
but sitting in this lonesome house!
& of course its ALL pretty out!
The days the hubs is off work, its usually all rainy & nasty out!
Booooo.
I want to get out and do something today!
Maybe when the hubs gets home i can convince him to go out somewhere...
I need to go pick up a few things from the grocery store anyways ...

Well gonna straighten up the living room & wash dishes,
& When zay wakes up start on laundry.

Hope everyone has a wonderful monday!

God Gave Me You. -Song of the day!

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

There's more here than what we're seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel, lovely
Could somehow fall for me

You'll always be love's great martyr
I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/d/dave-barnes-lyrics/god-gave-me-you-lyrics.html ]
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

On my own I'm only half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together and what love has tethered
I could never undo

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you
Gave me you
Gave me you

Zayden's Sleep Routine.

Zay's Sleep Routine.

Between 7:30-8:00am - Usually wakes up, then gets a bottle of milk & lays in bed with mommy for a few.
& we usually call nana & talk to her.

10:30-11:00 - Takes 1st nap.
Wakes up around 12:30 if not before.
Plays with toys, watch tv... plays with mommy.
Between 1:30 & 2 - Sometimes later, takes 2nd nap.
Wakes up eats dinner.
Between 5:30-6:30 : Takes bath, rubs down in lotion, drinks a bottle.
In bed by 7 or 7:15.

Now, with this time change. Its definitely messing up his naps!
but surprising he still goes to sleep around 7 or 7:15.


I love my baby boy!
He is silly, & rotten!

Ipad 2

So...Friday, March 9th.
My hubby got home from work, & our taxes had come in.
We started discussing what we needed to do with with our money.
1. get the car new tires.
2. put a certain amount for our car payment.
3. money back to fix his car back home so we can have a second car soon.
4. Shopping money!!

Well....We ended up at the NEX. & We both came home with Ipad 2 for each of us!
We have been wanting one for awhile! but they were sooooo expensive...
Well since the Ipad3 is coming out on the 16th... I believe. They were ALOT cheaper than normal.
So...We went on a spending spree & bought them! & then we bought zayden some new toys & some new clothes & shoes. & such.

:]

I'm sooooo excited & already so obsessed with it....
Also ordered cases for them!
Hopefully they will be here soon!

Favorite Song of the day!

Glad You Came- The Wanted.

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

Duty Day.*

I know i shouldnt complain that my husband has duty today, but i guess since living here in va with hardly any friends, & no family... I still just cant get used to spending the day & night all alone. :/ but I should be used to it now, since i've lived here for a year now. but i honestly cant get over it! i guess thats just something about me! lol. Well anyways, spending this nice day, with my baby boy! He is currently trying to take a nap! Before he layed down to take a nap. I took pictures of him on my ipad. & they turned out really cute!

My son is my everything! I am very blessed to have him come in our lives. ((: 

He is amazing in every way, hes learning so much, & growing everyday. I cant believe in 3 days he will be 10 months old. I still just felt like yesterday I had him. <3 Mommy loves you Zayden. 

 ******

Also, Wanted to wish all the ladies I know that their SO has left for deployment. Stay strong. You will make it through!! & For all the Men & Women on the ship. Good Luck & Have safe travels! 

Story of Zayden.

My Husband & I. 

This was an actual pregnancy picture. but it was taken without seeing my belly. ((: 

& I love this one of us!

Our son Zayden Ryland. When he was first born. This was taken in the hospital. 

This was our first pregnancy. I found out I was pregnant on September 30th 2010. *officially* from the doctors. December 15th 2010. I went to Babyinme4d in Concord NC. & found out it was a BOY!!! & then, also. with my doctor i had a appointment on December 28th 2010. & it was confirmed a BOY!!! *Which was also the day we got married!!* Right before our doctor's appointment! All because the doctor's appointment got delayed because of snow ;) Yes, we had a courtside wedding, but my family & his family was there. Only reason i went to the the babyinme4d.... is because my hubby was actually deployed for 4 1/2 months. & didnt exactly know when he was gonna be back home. but exciting he made it home a few days before christmas. ((: 

My official due date was May 17th 2011. 

I had complications with my pregnancy, which was very high blood pressure.... was almost put on bed rest. & actually was told to rest alot. but me, i was doing spring cleaning like crazy. & didnt really rest. & then, I was told at my last appointment if my water did not break on its on. I would be induced on my due date because of complications. Well, 3 days before my due date.... At 1AM .... I had just went to bed at Midnight. at 1 my water broke, ALL over the bed. & my husband & i both jumped out of the bed... & I was screaming for my mom. because she had been staying with us for 3 weeks, because they thought i was gonna go early. We made it to the hospital around 1:30ish & I was only dilated to a 2 after 9 hours.. & hardly no contractions. after 20 hours... I was still only dilated to a 2cm. So, therefore my doctor came in, and talked to me & my mom & husband. & told me i needed to think of having a c-section or i could wait it out a few more hours..... i started crying. Well....decided to go with the c-section. Zayden was born at 9:04pm on May 14th 2011. ((: Via C-section. 

He is now a healthy tough silly little boy at almost 10 months. 

He is my world. & dada's world. (: 

He's the most wonderful gift god could ever have given us!

Also...We believe he was conceived on his daddy's birthday ;)

Little About Us!

Just wanted to share a little info about us!

My name is Tiffany, I am 21. My husband is also 21. We are high school sweethearts. 

We dated since 2006, on & off.. & got married in 2010. (: 

He has been in the navy for almost 3 years....Next month will be 3 years. 

I am so proud of my husband & what he has become of himself!

We have a 9 month old little boy named Zayden Ryland. He will be 10 months on the 14th.

He is our world! 

I have only been through 1 deployment, & i was back home with family & friends.

Because i had not moved with him yet. I found out i was pregnant a month after he left. 

:/ Talking about depressing! but i had the most amazing mom & family & friends that stood by me & supported me. & always tried to keep a smile on my face. :) 

I currently live with my husband & my son in Virginia. 

I have lived here since February of last year. Some days i wish i could move back home, some days i love having our own place... but i miss my family & friends...

Well... just a little about me, until i can update again. ((:
