Day 7 of 30!
First up- I lost my military ID, how? I have no idea! After backtracking over my weekend & looking all over the place- Jozef had to come all the way to NAS JAX from Ponte Vedra to sign for me to get a new one (thanks babe!).. Then I went to the bank to pay Jozef's car.. After that we went to Tricare in Orange Park to switch me to Standard- PRIME SUCKS! You get what you pay for- NO LIE! I will never see another Navy Doc ever again in my life. After they totally missed a kidney stone & diagnosed me with PCOS & told me that I was infertile- never again! They can kiss my ass!
So after all the Tricare crap was done I took my lil' Pumpkin to get some chinese food :)
On to days of blogging...
Day 7- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you.
*will come back to edit*

Day 6 of 30!
I've been shopping for a new car (The Jeep doesn't have AC in the back- and I've had it since 2006.. so it's about that time! *sniff sniff*)
I hit up the beach yesterday with my little pumpkin! ♥ Then hung out at my inlaws house for awhile.. had some yummy BLT's & great convo =D
Today we're relaxing, Joe has to take people to the hotel so they can ship off to boot camp in the AM.. then we're going over to his parents' house for a BBQ! *YUM*
On to the BLOG countdown!
Day 6- Favorite super hero and why?
BATMAN!!! He is just awesome... he has 2 identities- helps out his city- and has a love story ♥ Who could not LOVE Batman??? Plus- Val Kilmer did play an awesome Batman... bwahahahaha! ;)

Day 5 of 30 Blogs
How the Urologist missed this last week is beyond me... I mean seriously BEYOND me. They did 2 X-Rays and an U/S of my kidneys & bladder and came up with nothing. The OBGYN's U/S Tech does a scan today to make sure it's not an ectopic pregnancy (which it's not BTW) and she finds the stone in my bladder.. *SIGH*
So they are hoping that I pass this thing by Friday.. if not- I go BACK to the moronic Urologist. FUN!
Also my first "official" Sonogram of the baby has been pushed back a week.. so I'll be having it done Sept 13th or 14th now.. I can't remember.
Sorry for the rambling..
ON TO DAY 5!!
Day 5- A picture of somewhere you've been.
SAN FRANCISCO!! My sister Tessa lives out there with her lil' family.. and they actually live right on Lombard Street! It's absolutely beautiful out there & the weather is very nice. We actually hope to go see my sister & her family sometime soon (Christmas or something).. Tessa has been battling Stage 3 Breast Cancer since February '10, and Jozef has never been out there before.. so I think it would nice if we'd go visit them & the city!

Day 4 of 30
Today is Day 4 of 30 days.. so here we go!
Day 4- A habit that you wish you didn’t have!
Well- that's actually kinda hard.. I don't smoke or drink or do drugs.. hmmm.. I would say stress eating! I really hate that I turn to food for comfort when I'm upset! I never used to- and I just want it to stop! :( That's actually really hard for me to admit- but it's not like I can hide it, my weight shows it :(

Day 2 of 30
Anyways- had a Doctor appt with Urology today & I get my results tomorrow! Let's hope for the best! ♥
On to the Blogging of Days:
Day 2- The meaning behind your blog name
Well, I think it's pretty self explanatory- but I'll explain! =)
FAITH, HOPE & LOVE.
Those are the key things/foundation that any trust & eternal bond are formed on. (That's our belief as Christians).
Our wedding was based around Faith, Hope & Love.. and we had this reading at our wedding:
1 Corinthians 13:4-13 (New International Version)
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
So there ya go! That's the reason behind my blog name... ♥ I love you Jozef ♥
Oh and Happy 37th Anniversary to my Parents today!! Love you guys!

My Mom didn't know any details.. like if she would need Chemo or Radiation therapy or anything else. I do know that she's going to need more testing of all her lymphnodes & she needs her other breast tested as well. I haven't talked to my sister yet.. but that's OK because I think she's just in shock & scared and trying to deal with the news the best she can. I did text her though and let her know that I'm here & to plz call soon so we could talk.
It's so surreal to realize that your own sister has Cancer. I sit & think about her husband & daughter- which Tatiana isn't even 2 yet! It's just scary. I'm hoping & praying that it hasn't spread anywhere else, and that Chemo will help after they do the masectomy. It's also very scary because my Grandmother had Breast Cancer & had a masectomy performed as well... and they told my sister that it's genetic.
Anyways... just wanted to air that out. Get some of my thoughts out..
On a good note: My best friend Kathleen found out she's PREGNANT again! How fun is that?? I would LOVE to be pregnant again... We would love to have a little boy hehehehehe!! Have a Jozef the 4th running around.. OMG.. lemme stop! LOL!!!
Alright, well.. I'm glad Mikayla reminded me that I had this thing (aka blog).. or it would've completely slipped my mind! I need to bookmark it LoL! I'm off to wash some towels, clean up the living room & maybe.. just MAYBE.. get a shower =)

Let's see..
We are in FL now! We have been here since March '09, and Jozef is one of the Recruiters for St. Augustine/Ponte Vedra, FL. It's been tough! Not gonna lie! I know basically NO ONE here besides Joe's parents in JAX Beach... and I'm just lonely a lot because Jozef works like 530am to 9pm. But I'm hangin' in there, trying to make the best of this utterly crappy situation aka Recruiting Duty! =/
Jocelyn turned 2 in July '09 =) We had his parents here & my parents came down to celebrate! She had an awesome time! Her birthday theme was Elmo and I made her this awesome Elmo cake!
Then in September '09, Jozef & I had our *big* wedding with all our family & friends. It was so great & so much fun!!! Of course we had little glitches here & there, but in the end we got everything figured out & everything was fine! I miss planning our wedding soooo much =( It's so much fun!
Then came Halloween & Jocelyn went as Cinderella... she's really getting into all the Disney Princess stuff! She loves playing dress up & being all girly.. she absolutely LOVES to dance! Next up would be Thanksgiving, and we spent that here in JAX, FL with Jozef's family. The food was so yummy! =)
Christmas '09 was absolutely fab! Although we HATE traveling on Christmas Day! We keep telling ourselves that this year (2010) we're going to San Fran, CA to see my sister instead of having 4 Christmases in 1 day! LOL! First we opened presents here @ our home, then we opened presents at Joe's parents' house.. Then we made our way up to St. Simons Island, GA to open gifts with his Grandparents, and after presents there & eating dinner we got back on 95 & went straight to Hilton Head to settle in with my parents! Our Christmas Day starts at 7am and normally doesn't end until 10pm... craziness! There has to be a happy medium somewhere, and hopefully this will be the year we find it. =)
So we came back to FL on Dec 30th and Kathleen & Alexa came here too for New Year's.. which was so much fun! We ate great dinners out & watched the Ball drop! I'm so glad she actually came down here TO SEE ME! =D
So now it's 2010 and we're back in the Recruiter world routine! Ugh.. it was so nice to have Jozef on leave & just to spend time with him.
Anyways... since this is all caught up, I'm gonna get going because I just remembered that I forgot to put the roast in the slow cooker *DAMMIT* hahha.. I will update this more frequently, promise!!
