Dollar, dollar don’t go away
There is a place for you to stay
Wallet, wallet open wide
Like I thought, there is room inside
Hop right in and don’t you fret
Its family safe and warm? you bet
Dollar, dollar won’t you stay
And Raise a family too, I pray
Praying for a miracle! Actually, I am not praying for financial support at all. God has bigger fish to fry and it seems silly to beg for a money tree. Any military wives out there will understand when I say this, Military SUCKS Canaries! Gosh dang-it, due to a mix up in hosing my hubby had to rent a CA apartment/ purchase a car! We weren’t expecting those extra expenses and now our planning is all for not. Eight months of stress down the drain! Every deposit was paid for but suddenly, I am back to square one. Mr.Possible won’t be reimbursed for the PCS or get his tax refund back for another couple months! Due to his lack of money when arriving he had to get paid in advance in order to afford a quick place to live and a car to get to work. All we need is 3k and we can have our wedding back! It is so depressing that we are so close and being forced to hit restart…I just feel like cuddling up to an aggressive bear! At least then my stress would be gone, right? Sorry for being melodramatic but my wedding is the last place I will see my whole family for God Knows How Long! Worse news is that Mr.Possible may be deploying shortly after our formal union. Thanks Fate. Hoping for the best but, expecting the worse. Why can’t we all just barter for things we want? You give me free tables/chairs and I will do any legal trade, okay?
Sorry for my absence but, I was busy becoming a married woman. Mr. Possible is now my husband and I never expected it to feel this good. Saying our vows and exchanging rings, it was all so perfect. The big formal wedding is still months away and I couldn’t be more excited. Gorgeous cabin venue, 1950s rustic theme, and my perfect lace gown are all waiting to be used. Soon I will be celebrating my union with my loved ones and then I am off to celebrate with my husband on a luxury island. Dreaming of the day is all I have but soon it will become a reality. Seeing that ring on his finger makes me complete and I cry knowing he leaves in the morning…Service before self. I knew he couldn’t stay but, I wish that he could. Military life is part of me now and I can’t ignore the gritty details. Five months apart will add to the emotion of our formal affair and well, absence makes the heart grows fonder. Basic training made us strong and brought Mr.Possible down on one knee but, tech. school just made us antsy. Hopefully the time passes quickly because, I just want my husband to be home.
Mr.Possible is home and the civil ceremony is this Tuesday! The whole drive to his mothers house I had this awful feeling that they would all jump out and say ,”April Fools! He isn’t coming home.” This notion (through improbable) raced around my noggin until I arrived and embraced his mother for the first time in a long time. Next day (today) I was a nervous wreck. What is he noticed I lost some of my toned muscle> What if I wasn’t good enough? Any food before his arrival would be impossible! To make matters more frustrating, my chipped tooth went from slight sensitivity to full throbbing pain! Me and Mr.Possibles mother searched for a dentist that would take my insurance and of course, no one accepts Mery Care…However, T’Ts husband (J’T) saved the day! His friend is a dentist and even though he wouldn’t fix the pain he prescribed me some antibiotics to help. After getting my medicine from Walmart we grabbed some Orajel and I have spend most of this day numb mouthed and drooling! Then I had just mustered up the courage to take a bite of a chicken salad sandwich when my beloved pulled up the driveway! Frantically I rushed to the bathroom for some mouth wash and darted out the front door. I ran to hug him or well, tackle him and we stayed in each others arms for what seemed like forever! I can’t fathom a world without Mr.Possible in it and I still can’t take in the fact that he is laying beside me! If this is a dream, nobody better pinch me!
Mr.Possible and I have a sick obsession with artsy shows and movies. We also have a thing for those brain rotting Cartoon Network series that make you feel mushy if enjoyed for too long. Since I couldn’t sleep all night I decided to put pen to paper and let my creativity flow! Here are two pictures of me and Mr.Possible inspired by the shows Adventure Time and Regular Show. Hope you like them as much as I do!
SO much laundry and cleaning to do before I am ready to drive down to T’Ts house. Mr.Possible’s mother is so excited to see me and I am just as ecstatic! If only she didn’t live three and a half hours away, then we could see each other more! Of course, I procrastinated and left all the cleaning to the night before…That is just like me. However, no amount of dirty sheets or dishes could keep me from being joyful. It has been five months and I am just ready for Mr.Possible’s kisses. Not to mention our civil ceremony is around the corner! By this time next week I will be sharing the same last name as my prince in camo-armor and we will officially be team Possible!
I may not be the luckiest girl in the world but, he sure makes me believe I am. No time for a shower tonight so I will need to rise bright and early! My bags aren’t even packed and the living room is a wreck! If I work hard I may be able to have everything spotless by midnight…Oh, here is hoping! My future is waiting for me, if only I could clean up this mess!!!
We finally found our first Dance song and it is so relaxed, personal, and simply romantic! The song is Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson and is beyond perfect. We had some younger choices that I know we would grow out of but, Jack Johnson is timeless. The song is about wanting to spend a lazy day with you lover. I can imagine Mr.Possible and I being able to dance to this song at any point in our daily life. It is a song that makes you want to slow down. I know later in life we will need reminders as to why we are together and this song can bring us home, especially when Mr.Possible is deployed or far away.
Song is meant to keep you
From doing what you’re supposed to.
Waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it’s the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can’t you see that it’s just raining?
There ain’t no need to go outside
If you have never heard this song then I strongly encourage you to give it a chance and just unwind. Slow dancing to these cute lyrics will better shape our personable intimate wedding. I am inspired by how music moves me and I hope this song can be our glue, our anchor, and the threshold to a simpler love. May we always Dance in Time.
Above is a picture of where I got engaged. The San Antonio River-walk boat tour balcony. I went across that bridge a girlfriend and came back a fiance but, I should probably start from the beginning.
Mr. Possible had done it, he had completed basic training! Graduation day was incredible and it was the second and last day the boys got off base privileges. The whole day was planned out and Mr.Possible was anxious to see the town (or so he told me). It was a perfect day and him, his mother, and I rushed around enjoying the tourist attractions. Until we reached a gorgeous part of the river-walk. The San Antonio River-Walk Mall was squared abound the river and boat tours were passing by. I stopped Mr.Possible and his mother for plenty of pictures around the lush blooming flowers that surrounded the area. Mr.Possible then pointed at the balcony and suggested we take a few photos there and I happily agreed. Once on the bridge I stopped Mr.Possible for pictures but he urged me to take them on the balcony. Of course, I rushed to lean over the fencing to smell the wonderful pots of flowers and was confused when Mr.Possible grabbed my hand, asking me to stand on a star in the middle of the balcony. “The picture would look prettier over there,” I said (looking back it was quite a hilarious statement to make). Mr.Possible rolled his eyes and told me to just stand on the golden star. Suddenly he began a beautiful speech about our love and his mother whipped out a video camera out of no-where. By the time I realized what was happening Mr.Possible was on one knee holding out a ring. After saying yes he picked me up and spun me around. We kissed for the first time (weren’t allowed to kiss in uniform or on base) in months and I felt as if we were alone in the world…Then we heard cheering from surrounding strangers and were swarmed by people eager to congratulate us! It was an incredible moment and a perfect day(:
The picture below was taken right before he proposed. He saw the balcony during the picture and decided THAT was where he would get the courage to ask me.
I don’t expect a life of luxury after getting married and nor do I want a fully furnished home. There is something to be said about living on a mattress after you become newly weds and it is a joy I am dying to experience. I grew up a majority of my life under the care of a single teenage mother who couldn’t afford the basic home accessories. Some how that seems to be a beneficial experience because, I am able to completely enjoy the littler things in life. The idea of a empty home for two seems adventurous and at the very least, romantic. When pay comes in we can both shine and gloat over being able to buy a newer item for our humble abode. Exciting trips to thrift stores or bargain shopping seems to be half the fun in being newly married. Each item would be deserved and worked for while also bringing us a sweet memory. Nothing excites me more than thinking of our young wild years when we have only a mattress to our name!
Yes, that is my beautiful heart cut engagement ring! I will be legally married to Mr.Possible in a total of nine days and that is such an incredible feeling! We have gone through so much and yet we have barely tasted what life together will be like. For better and for worse, until the day we part ways towards heaven. Over the past couple years we have created a number of things to say to one another and even a ditty to pass on to our children.
I’ll love you forever
I’ll like you for always
as long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be
I might have heard that in my childhood because, it came to me while on the beach in CA with Mr.Possible and it was almost to easy to conjure up. None the less it is apart of us and something to treasure. At the end of every fight one of us will say ” I love you forever” and the other will reply “and like you for always”. After that the disagreement is settled and considered part of the past. Him and those words are forever etched into my memory.
