The Things Wives Do When Husbands Are Gone!


Well, if you are me, you get 15 stitches in your right shin! That is right, 15 stitches! I was at the base swimming pool with a group of friends from our church, and they wanted to see me dive. if you don't know, I was a gymnast for 11 years and then a diver in high school, so I actually can do some pretty cool stuff. Well, I was there less than five minutes and on the third trip to the diving board, it decided it did not like me. I was standing with my back toward the pool getting ready to do a back flip with one and half twists. Well, I started to jump but before I could, my toes slipped off the board and i was in the water before I knew what was going on. I knew I hit my shin, but it felt like it was just a scrap and good bruise. Then I started swimming toward the edge of the pool and something felt weird. I looked down and saw a hole in my leg and lots of blood I got carried out to the car and rushed to the ER! The pain was ridiculously minimal for such a cut! Well, 2 hours later, I have 15 stitches in my shin!!

Also, I hate Tricare and Walgreens! (Sorry Kelly!) I needed to pick up an antibiotic, and of course the base clinic is no open at anytime in which you actually need it! So at 11:30 I go to pick up my prescription at Walgreens, and the pharmacist told me the insurance did not go through. So, she calls the 3rd party pharmacy assistance guy hired by Tricare, and he said neither Cory or I existed in the database. With that said, both the guy on the phone and the pharmacist stated treating me like I was lying and trying to get something I was not entitled too! Go figure! Well, I left quite angry and then 8 hours later, I was woken up by a phone call from that same pharmacist. She said that Tricare people came after me and their insurance was not going through either. So she ran mine again, and voila, it worked! Her tone had definitely changed after she saw I was qualified!

Of course all of this happens when my husband is gone!

Sad News!

Okay, so we are a little bummed. Savannah can't come until August 5th because the current caretaker accidently thought she was in the first litter of puppies making her 8 week birthday on July 31st. Well, her 8 week birthday is August 4th so we won't have her until the 5th! :( Cory is really bummed because he posts to the fiels on August 6th! Anyway, God is great!

The Latest Savannah!

She is the cutest puppy ever!!!!!! 8 days and we will have her!! YES!!! Anyways, so yesterday we hung out at the pool after church, cooked dinner for six people, played some poker, and Cory played Xbox until 4:30 in the morning! (We have a friend who works all night long tonight, so he needed to stay up late last night). Cory was more that happy to oblige. Plus, as the awesome wife who let him play that late while I slept, I figure Cory owes me something. I will have to pick the moment to cash in on that! Sorry we haven't posted for so long; just busy! Talk to ya later!

Cliff Jumping and 97 Degrees?

Much better folks! Much, much better. After a 30 minute hike with a big black inner tube, jumping in to freezing water (and Daniel, it is a metaphor!) and tubing the way down, with a spouse by the way, is just simply put; SO MUCH FUN!!! We had a blast and cannot wait for the opportunity to do it again!

Cliff Jumping and 66 Degrees?

What was I thinking?! I know, "cliff jumping is so much fun. Let's go!" Oh wait, I didn't look at the weather! Crap, it isn't over 70 degrees and the water is freezing. Despite all that, it was still fun! Hiking up to the cliffs and jumping in was so refreshing. I can't wait to try it when the water does not make me shiver and get hypothermia (ok, that last part was an exaggeration!)
