TODAY is the DAY
TODAY IS THE DAY....
That I wake up and can't breathe out my nose...and hardly out my mouth.
That I wake up and realize that I didn't put my car in the garage and its raining....oh and my sun roof is open.
That I have 3 projects due and none will be finished by the end of the day.
That we find out if we're staying in North Carolina and Mr deploying in August.
That we find out if we're moving to Jolly ol England.
That we find out if we're moving to Idaho and becoming Idahoians (sp?).
That we find out where we will be for the next 3 years and in the life of this military wife...that feels like an eternity.
Bring on 5 o'clock, my heart can't take the suspense any longer...
I don't know why but this song for some reason became the Jetplanes theme song for the weekend...seriously it was on the radio every other time we were in the car...

Hello Mr. Jetplane's Mouth...Insert Foot

So I love my husband. He's a great guy. He's a funny guy. And if you know him in real life, you'd know he's a guy that doesn't always think before opening his mouth. I've tried to teach him about this, and he is getting better around other people, when its just him and me...thoughts enter his head and then come right out his big ol mouth.
So I'll set the scene for you...
Jetplanes both worked late last night and I needed to pick up my prescription the store nearby. So we decided to go eat some pizza. While eating our salads and Mr. enjoying a beer, I commented on how pissed I am that our base selection night got moved AGAIN...(yeah we're not finding out tomorrow, its been pushed to Monday). He asked why I am so upset about it.
Me: "I really feel like our lives have been on hold. We can't make any next steps in our lives until we find out where we're going."
Mr: "Yeah so if we find out we're going to Idaho we can work on getting you knocked up?"
(ever my eloquent husband, right?)
Me: "Yeah, maybe. But not until after my birthday...I want to get drunk!"
Mr: (rolling his eyes) "Whatever you say..."
So time passes and we get our pizza. Mr is also notorious for having conversations with himself inside his head and then saying something out loud like you should know what he is talking about....like you were participating with him in the 5 minute conversation he's been having with himself about the yard, or picking up the dogs' medicine, or even worse flight school stuff...
I digress, time has passed and out of no where I hear...
Mr: "I can't wait to build forts!"
Me: "What?"
Mr: "Yeah I can't wait to build forts, climb rocks, take him camping"
Me: "Huh?"
Mr: "Our future baby...I can't wait to build forts him and sleep in tents..."
Me: "Well I sure hope SHE likes to go camping!"
Mr: "HE"
Me: "SHE"
Mr: "Whatever as long as we don't have a "Hot" daughter, I'm fine!"
Me: "Excuse me...our daughter will be pretty."
Mr: "Yeah, well I don't want a 'very pretty' daughter, cute is good. I want a cute daughter."
Me: "What are you talking about?"
Mr: "Very Pretty Girls are whores and marry old men."
Me: "You are insane."
Mr: "No I'm serious, very pretty girls date old men and marry them for money."
Me: "Really, so I married you I guess that mean I'm not really pretty then."
Mr: "I'm talking about 10s here..."
Me: "Oh really...so I'm not a 10"
Mr: "UGHHHH...you know what I mean."
Yes, there is my foot in mouth husband....

We Are the Champions...
Seriously we won the whole kit and caboodle on Friday at the Crud tourney. I am so unbelievably proud of us.
Here we are leaving the squadron to head to the Oclub for the tourney. Yes that is a blue limo you are seeing and the driver...well that's Mr. Jetplane.
Crud is a really difficult game to explain, but basically its a billiard type of game but with out cuesticks and only 2 balls and 4 pockets. Its more of a military game that's for sure. There are a tons of rules and the commanders of the squadrons were the refs...but that didn't stop us from yelling at them for horrible calls...girls are mean...the games can get pretty hard core and I have the bruises to prove it.

Here are a couple action shots...I'd like to say Mr. took these...but sadly he took more pictures of himself than the games...I stole these from people's FB pages....shhh...

You see you can make physical contact with the other players, you can also jump/crawl on the table, and being a short girl I have to jump up on the table a lot to reach the white ball (which is used to hit the red ball).


Here we are after our 2nd win (beating the retirees wives who won the tourney last year and are always STRONG competition).
A couple more action shots for you. Can you see my intense game face....

Here we are victorious and after over 6 hours of playing and watching other games...finally around 12:30am we had won...we were delighted but exhausted. (And I am one hot, sweaty mess)

It was a great night...I'm a really competitive person and I knew we had a good team, but I didn't know we could win. We've been practicing every week but we had 2 newbies (me and my gf who's hubby is in Mr's class) had never played before, I thought for sure we'd be out by the 2nd round.

I'm so proud of us...I think I might still be on a little Crud high...

Pug Friday
Its been a busy week at the Jetplane's household. If you follow me on twitter, you know that we got our kitchen's backsplash/wall tiled...and FYI I love it.
This weekend we are painting the kitchen (crossing fingers) and doing yard work. Spring has sprung and we got A LOT of work to do.
Tonight I have my CRUD tournament. I'm not going to lie, I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Myself and another wife, are 'newbies' and haven't played in a tourney before. But I think, no I know, we're going to hold our own. I'll have Mr take pictures to show you what this crazy game is all about. It kid you not, its intense.... I have the scars and bruises to prove it.
Today Pug Friday photo is just too cute to pass up. Look at that face...how could you ever say no to a face like that....

Oh HAPPY Day!!
Low and Behold when I picked Mr. Jetplane up at the airport yesterday morning....he didn't have a mustache!! YEAH!!!
He took my advice and shaved it for the funeral...I told him it wasn't an appropriate time or place to have this goofy mustache, especially since it was going to be a military funeral.
But you see, Mr. Jetplane had fooled me because he told me that he hadn't shaved it, so needless to say I was shocked (in a good way) when I picked him up.
I couldn't stop kissing him last night, so happy to see my hubby's gorgeous face back to normal. But sadly it won't last, we're only 1/2 through the Month of March aka Mustache March, so he's back growing it again...
Wish me luck....and Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
XOXO

Warning TwiHards...this AIN'T Edward Cullen
Since Mr. Jetplane is out of town at a family funeral, I had a girls night full of sushi, military wife talk, movies, and drinks (cherry vodka and sugar fee red bull to be exact)*
Sushi was good, service at restaurant SUCKED (but it always does at this place), talk was great since I got to meet 2 other mil wives that I hadn't met before, and the movie was great.

I had given the girls fair warning that the movie was going to be sad, I told them what I had 'heard and read' about the film and to bring tissues, we will need them. I'm not going to give anything away because some people might not know what its about, but if you watch the 1st minute of it, pay attention to the date, location, and background...you should be able to figure it out.
The movie is about 2 young people living in NYC and dealing with an immense amount of tragedy in their lives. They find each other in a strange turn of events and fall madly in love.
Pierce Brosnan is wonderful in the movie, he plays an absent father who appears to not want to be involved in his children's lives...he and his son (Rob P) don't see eye to eye on a single thing.
Rob P is wonderful in this movie...he's a chain smoking, confused, slightly disturbed young man trying to figure out his life and his emotions after dealing with a tragic loss in his life. But fair warning to you (and all the young kids that were in this movie)...THIS IS NOT TWILIGHT! This is a DARK movie and as a 12 year old girl...this movie IS NOT FOR YOU. Parents don't bring your kids to this movie, we saw groups of young..and I do mean young girls leaving the movie bawling their eyes out.
There is sex, drinking, lots of smoking, bad language, and violence in this movie.... um your 10 yr old daughter shouldn't be at this, I don't care how much she loves Edward...this is not TWILIGHT.
But the movie was great, intense but great, I highly recommend it. But be prepared, you will cry. If I didn't know beforehand what was going to happen (at some point in the film) I might have been bawling along with the 12 years old... Because I got into the ugly cry...
Anyone else seen it...thoughts???
*If a waitress at a bar knows what you want to drink before you order it, does that mean you go there too much or you drink too much or you order weird drinks so they remember you...
