Day 28 & 29

Day 28 – post a picture of the band that sings the song of your significant other’s ring tone while they are away..(usually a military themed song like "wait for me")
my phone is almost always on vibrate since I'm in school & work non-stop. Plusss, since he's in iraqiland, I can't really set a certain ringtone..
but Idk what it would be...hmm.

Day 29 – post a picture of the coolest place you ever got to go to b/c of your s/o being in the military

I guess this would just be Georgia & South Carolina...those are the only two places I've went so far that were from him being in the military.

Ft. Benning, GA:

Fort Jackson, SC:

Link up?!

Day 27

Day 27 - post a picture of something that reminds you of your SO and tell why it does.

This could be SOOOO many things.
But one of the main ones that I see DAILY that reminds me of him (besides all the stuff in my room and anything army) is Monster Energy stuff. Him and I both love monster energy ANYTHING. He has monster stickers on everything, and now I have them on a lot of my stuff lol. And I'm quite addicted to the zero cal monster, mmmm.

Day 26/quote!

Day 26 - post a picture of your mans military branch and tell your favorite stay strong quote

& one of my fav quotes:

"Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will."

Day 23-25

Day 23 - Post a picture and tell what your life would be like without your SO.
This is a smack in the face...because we did just break up.
Yes, we are working on things..but I still may be faced with this image of my life without him..


Day 24 – A picture of your SOs favorite sports team
Jonathan HATES sports such as football, basketball, baseball, soccer, etc.
However, he loves trials, motocross, and bmx. Not teams though..
Here he is, my stunt man:

Day 25- Favorite moment or experience you have had with the military
All the times like these:

22

Day 22 – post a picture of what keeps you strong when your military SO is away

Support.
From family, God, friends, and bloggy friends :)
And of course all the phone calls and texts from Jon definitely helps keep me strong.
Along with my daily reminder: my Strength tattoo. <3

day21 & update..

Day 21 - post a picture of a movie or show you watch when your SO is away that you usually don’t watch when he is home and tell why you don’t watch it when he is home.


I think this one is dumb personally, because there isn't anything I watch that I wouldn't watch if he was home? OH well.



Update:
Jon and I are talking...We are working on things. Each individually and together to see if we can get this all back. Everything has been great the past few days. I really miss that man, and love him with all my heart. Soooo, I'm trying. It's taking a lot and is very hard for me, but I'm working on it...there's a lot that I have to try to get over and move on from. So we shall see :)
He's going to counseling, reading the Bible, reading books about God & relationships, etc etc. He's obviously realized a lot and it's showing..I'm glad he's actually DOING SOMETHING to try and change things instead of just saying "oh i'll change"..ya know?
If you pray, pray for us :)


Spring break...is going. Working but tomorrow night after work, I'm headin to my hometown for two days. Then back here sunday night because next week will be INSANE...grreat. I'm working MORE THAN 40 hours next week..probly close to 60 AND going to school full-time. My first week of spring quarter is gonna crazy. Oh well, bring it on!

Day 20

Day 20 - post a pic of you in something military (shirt, camo,etc)

The shirt I got when Jon graduated Basic Training, mind you this pic is like 2 years old.

Over the summer with the most amazing "woobie" (aka blanket) ever. I love that thing...and butthead took it with him to Iraq. rawr.

Day 16-19

Day 16 – post a picture of your favorite piece of jewelry that your man has gotten you and why it is your favorite!

This was my latest gift. When he had his four day pass, he got me this. It was also my christmas present. I LOVE bows...and he got me the open heart ring as a "promise ring".
Deff my nicest and most fav he got me.

Day 17 - post a picture of something your SO left you while he was away and how that helped you… did/do you carry it with you or sleep with it?
The ring above, some of his clothes, and a pillowcase that has a pic of him on it.


Day 18 – post a picture of the lyrics of yours and your SO’s song and tell how it became y’alls song
We never had a "song" lol.


Day 19 - Post a picture of his favorite show and tell of one episode you watched with him
And this one is boring as well, he doesn't really have a fav show..because he grew up without tv! but he loves nitro circus.

So I guess it's a good thing I did all these days on one post since it's such boring answers! lol

Linky up.

Day 15 - post a picture of your SO during your proudest moment of him

Gettin pinned up after completing basic.

Look at that grin :)

I miss the happy days.

Day 14 – post a picture of what consumes most of your time when your s/o is away

I'm a pharmacy technician.

All I do is work...

AND go to school full-time on top of it.

But I love every second of my job...well just about :)

Day 13

Day 13 – post a picture of your favorite military support accessory and tell where you got it from.

This was my favorite military support accessory. I had just gotten it as one of my Christmas gifts from Jon's parents. So sweet of them. I never got the chance to get pics for it...and now I can't stand to wear it :(

But it's uber cute, and small! It's not as big as you think, trust meh!

Day 12

Day 12 – post a picture of a book you are reading/have read b/c of your s/o being in the military and tell how it has helped you.

I read through this entire book in just a few days. I got it and read it before Jon deployed.  This was before I had a blog as well, and it helped me in a sense that I could relate to a lot of the things & stories in this book.  No, I wasn't nor am a Military wife, but I still love this book.

Day 11

Day 11 - post a picture of the stationary you pour your heart out onto in letters to your s/o

plain ole' notebook paper. but I LOVE using colored pens :)

These will always make me smile :)


LLINK UP LADIESS

Day 9

Day 9 – post a picture of your favorite thing that you or your SO has made and tell what it is.


My favorite thing is all the scrapbooks and photobooks i've made for him and i. Memories and pictures will always be treasured. no matter what is said or done, i will always look back at those good times and smile.

Day 9 linkup::

Day 8 & an update.

Day 8 - Post your favorite deployment pic (a pic of see u laters, him coming home, or him deployed) and tell why it is your favorite

This would be one of my fav pics..its when he was deployed in Oklahoma, before headin overseas. It really shows what a goofball he is.



Update: and please don't judge.
I never, and I mean NEVER thought I'd be one of those girls or one of those couples that broke up during deployment. I always saw the success rate and everyone doubting us and I was like PFFT whatever. You know what I'm talking about right?
Well. guys suck. pigs.
To give a brief background, Jon & I have been through A LOT together. He's put me through so much shit, but I always gave him another chance. He's cheated on me physically with a few girls, a lil over a year ago. and he's ALWAYS emotionally cheated on me...as in all that texting (FLIRTING)/skyping/sending pics to other girls. (not dirty ones).
Well after telling him how I've felt recently (emotionally broken down & depressed & still can't get over the cheating), well he then told me last night more.
yeah, more.
since he's been gone (since september) he's betrayed me like no other.
I've heard for the past year about how he has truly changed..we were ALL fooled. He acted better, treated me better (well so I thought), and everyone saw how I had "changed him". Well once a cheater, always a cheater. Last night he told me how since he's been gone he's gotten these two girls to send him nude pics and vice versa.

done.
3, as in THREE years down the drain. 3 years of me being played. Just sucks.
But I love him, he's deployed, and I care about him. I plan on continuing to talk to him but he knows I'm not getting back together whether he likes it or not. He was balling so hard on the phone last night, and I know I need to continue to be somewhat of a support system to him. I know how to be the bigger person.
Also, I'm going to continue to do this 30-day military style challenge that I'm hosting. Just because things end relationship wise, doesn't mean I'm going to shutdown everything that's about him..
So I hope I'm not judged here and I hope it really shows how strong I'm trying to be..for me & him.
I have the word "strength" tattooed on me for a reason.

LINK UP, I'd love your support..
p.s. do you all think I should do a new link forum for every day of the challenge? instead of all being linked up into one? I just kind of realized maybe I should do that..where you link each day's post up. but lemme know.

random, but important.

I hope this doesn't ruin my 30-day military challenge thing...

But things have been going seriously south with Jon & I...

I honestly don't know if I can stay with him or not :(

And it completely sucks because I'm going to/am getting jumped by EVERYONE because he is away at war..shit.

alll for now..

Day sevennn :)

Day 7 - post a picture of a wonderful friend that you’ve made because of your s/o being in the military

Day 3 - Post a a random pic of how u met. Did you know then that you’d be where you are with him today?

The first time Jon & I ever met in person was at my church's youth group.

The huge group played games, etc.

And in one of the games, it was like a hiding game, and everytime they turned the lights out, we'd walk around holding hands. (I was 16, it's cute!) Lol.

Back then, I had NO idea I'd be where I am today. AT ALL.

I didn't know I'd still be with him, or that he'd join the army, or that we'd

make it this long.

So basicallyy,

I've spent the past few days of free time catching up on everyone's blogs, LOL.
This weekend was definitely an eventful one. Had a blast being out with friends and just enjoying myself and not having a care in the world. But after not even touching a single school book, I've been cracking down Sunday & Monday & today on all the homework. Especially since it's coming towards the end of the quarter!
Ah. I'm so ready for spring quarter...and SPRING! Idk about you all, but I love the warmer weather, and I'm so stankin sick of this cold crap. My body hates cold. I seriously wanna live in like North Carolina or something when I get older and can afford to move/after i get my degree.

Well, I'm off to do more homework, and then head to work...same old.
Hopefulllyyy I can stop being such a bad & boring blogger. It's gonna get put on my "to-do" list from now on :)
