{Good Morning!!}

It's already Tuesday!! Woohoo!!!

I normally start off each morning by sifting through my email...which can take a little while. BUT I found this awesome $5 off $20 coupon (expires 8/29) in my inbox to O'Charley's. They also have a nice promotion of 2 meals for $14.99 going on right now. Sounds like a cheap dinner night to me!! My Daddy loves O'Charleys...so I'll probably save this for a dinner with him soon.

{It's Monday, again...}

It's Monday again...but it's actually not been a terribly bad day. This weekend was actually pretty great. I bartended Friday night for some extra $$$, which is ALWAYS fabulous & Saturday I spent the day with Kay-Bug & my Mom...I ♥ girl time. Yesterday, Kayleigh and I attended church and we were pretty lazy the rest of the afternoon until Matt came home from Ohio.


Speaking of Matt, I just got a phone call from him & he is on cloud 492 =) His reserve post just called and offered him a job for two weeks in November in Quantico, VA. He is super excited...and so am I to be quite honest. I know this will be a great learning experience for him! &&& he gets paid active duty pay, which is a Major +++. Although, I will miss him a little bit =)

So...I'm thinking dinner tonight will be something light since Matt and I are trying to do better with our eating & exercise habits. Matt has been running at night with his friend Derek and I have been walking with my Mom. I have a long way to go, but being in shape sure feels nice. So, Quiznos is sounding pretty good... & this coupon (expires 8/18) makes it sound EVEN better =)

{TGI Friday's $5 off $15}

{Working for the Weekend!}

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday....is it Friday yet??? I feel like I have been up FOREVER today. Matt left for Ohio this morning for a car show, which translates to {I got up SUPER D~Duper early} So 5:00 can roll around at any time now, pretty please??

&& to make matters worse...work is pretty boring today...
I would much rather be here rather than the seat I am sitting in...But not to say I am ungrateful for my job...I would just like more vacay time =) {'Paid, Don't have to use my PTO' vacay time} Amen, anyone??

Maybe I can find some awesome deals or some fantabulous "re-do" ideas {fingers crossed} Hopefully I can get to putting some pics from this weekend up since Matt will be gone for the next couple days. I miss him dearly while he is gone, but OH the things I get DONE while he is away!! {Love you honey!}

Okay, back to work for a few hours, then home with my little loverface...OOOooo, I L♥Ve her.

{USO}

Just wanted to share....

So yesterday I attended my training session for the USO here in Charlotte, NC. It was GREAT!! Our USO at the Charlotte Douglas airport is an extremely nice facility. I learned a lot yesterday, got to tour the facility, and hopefully within a couple weeks I will be volunteering!! I had never heard of the USO until I was reading a blog that got me through life while Matt was away at boot camp. Whoever it was that posted the thread about the USO planted a seed in me...I wanted to see what this USO thing was all about...I WANTED to VOLUNTEER!!! I wanted to see the strong, courageous, dedicated men & women that travel through our airport as they are approaching their next destination. So now, I am able to do that & I am soooooo excited to volunteer my time. I AM PROUD TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO DEFEND ME!!
