Oak has gone....

Poop in the Potty twice and pee multiple times this week! I was not planning on training her for a few more months, and one day she just walked to the potty and told me "pee pee" and it went from there! I am so proud of my little boogie! (I must be a mom getting excited over pee and poo) She is a wild little 20 month old these days, but I would not want it any different!

Happy Anniversary Jas!

MARCH 28, 2011 #2

Happy Anniversary babe! I love you so much and can't wait until I get to see you!!!!

So BIG!

I DID IT!!! Oak is officially done with the BINKY!!! It is day 6 today without it. She also decided to take up going on the potty...Ahhhh. For now I will leave you all with the VERY lady like picture of her :) (ha ha)

Graduation

Woo Hoo!!! Jas graduates on May 6, 2011!!!! I am so freaking excited to see him! There will be A LOT of firsts for me, so anyone who has any advice let me know!
-flying ALONE with a toddler
-going to Chicago
-Renting a car
-Making my way from the airport to my hotel(this will be fun since I am horrible with directions)
-Making it on time to the base for graduation w a toddler (starts at 8:00am and you have to be there at least an hour in advance bc of lines)
-Keeping Miss Oak entertained during graduation
I am sure things will go well and I am just being paranoid. I am REALLY so excited to go see Jason though!

Getting closer....

ONE week down EIGHT more to go!!!!

Saying bye to daddy and getting sworn in to active duty.... Man I miss him!

He is gone:(

Jas is officially in Great Lakes Illinois. For some reason I thought that Boot Camp would be easy for me to adjust to. It has been 24 hours since he left and I am having a really hard time! He called me yesterday to let me know he made it and this is how the conversation went...
Jason: Hello Mollie
Me: Hi
Jason: I am calling to tell you that you will be getting another call in 3 weeks and a package in 2 weeks
Me: Okay that sounds great, are you ok?
Jason: I have to go, love you and goodbye....
Before I could even say I love you back and bye he was gone!!!! What the heck?! That call was hard on me not only because I am sure he had someone above him in rank standing right next to him while he made it monitoring how long he talked for, or because he sounded like a robot, or because it was SO short.
Ahhhh 9 weeks before I get to see him. I know I sound like a big baby, but I really miss him. I am extremely proud of him for doing this and for giving our family this new adventure to go on.
I know Oakley misses him like crazy. Luckily we moved in with my parents so she is enjoying all the Grandma and Grandpa time. She adores them. She is also having a hard time because we had to have our dog go live with Jason's cousin for this 9 weeks. Oakley loves her dog.
Hopefully we will settle into a routine in the next week or two so things will be easier.
Hope all is great with everyone!

Blah....

I am in a total FUNK right now... I am just kinda blah. Jas leaves in one week and it really is hitting me. I am going to miss him a lot, and I am scared for whats ahead of us.... I have never been away from my family or friends for very long... A new state scares me! I hate not knowing things going on in the military either. I am new to all of this and I keep getting asked so many questions and feel like I have none of the answers. I am hoping I will figure them all out soon!
If I act distant the next week or so, its probably because I am in this funk... I am not trying to be rude if I don't return your calls, or texts. I do care! Hope all is well with everyone :)
