Howdy Ya'll! I am officially in Texas now! :) Well, I have been here for a little over a week, but it has been incredibly hectic. Dylan and I made the 16.5 hour drive here, which was long a grueling. We made a pit stop in El Paso, Texas to get some rest, but the next morning, we woke up and hit the road. We finally got in at about 9:30 PM. It felt good to walk into our home. OUR home! Now that we are finally here, things are definitely starting to come together! Here are some pictures of the new pad:

So, I'm not bragging or anything, but our house is REALLY nice. Except the fact that yesterday we had an ant infestation and they were inside ALL of my husband's cereal. Poor, poor Dyl :( But, we had the pest control come today and he sprayed inside and outside! (Let's hope those nasty little things are NO WHERE to be found!) And, to add to those little pesky things, my washer has been acting up. It wobbles around when it is on "spin mode" and pulls the plug out of the wall. NOT COOL. so, to solve that problem, I have been washing everything on "delicate" with the option of "no spin". With that being said, all of our clothes get washed, but they are SOPPING WET. Therefore, it takes about 2.5 hours to try them. PER LOAD. Oh yeah, it is a HUGE pain. But, it isn't too bad. I mean, at least we can wash our clothes in the comfort of our own home, rather than going to some old laundry mat with people staring and judging me. Not that would happen, but you know what I mean.

 But! Enough complaining, I am completely happy. Now, people, you may start asking how it feels to be married. I am actually WITH my husband! It is the best experience I have ever had. Unfortunately, he works all day, but, as he would say, he's "busy defining our country to protect our lives". Yeah, I hear that one at least once a day. ;) I am not working right now, so I hope I will be able to post some more. I really hope I get the time to. I know, I know. You're thinking to yourself "What could she possibly be doing while at home ALL day!?" I have your answer; I clean, cook, and watch Army Wives. Also, we have a good friend of ours staying with us. Her name is Emily and I 100% adore her. Her fiance is staying with us too, but like Dyl, he works all day, so Em and I enjoy our time together watching Army Wives and eating a bunch of food :) I even made cupcakes! Woo hoo! Anywhooooo, I must head out. My poor hubby is sick and is watching Iron Man 2, and I feel as if I should be hanging out with him. (Although, I don't know if that is what he feels!) ;) I promise I will try to post again soon.



Much love,

Alright, so it has been a massive amount of time since I have posted. Right now, I have time... We'll get to that later!

So first things first, my trip to Georgia!

It was SO fun! I was incredibly nervous to meet his parents, but they turned out to be the most amazing people I have ever come in contact with. They are fun, and super sweet. I adore them!

Aren't they just so cute?! And of course, the major cutie is in the middle :P

It was GREAT seeing Dylan. He seriously is the love of my life! Love him! Here's some more photos from the trip:

AND! I got over my fear of flying! YIPPEE :D


Next, thing on my agenda... Dylan got a 4 day weekend and came out here on St. Patrick's day weekend! It was the best weekend by far... WE GOT MARRIED :D

I know, most people think we are absolutely crazy, but we are 100% in love. I didn't believe in love at first sight until I met Dylan. He has been the best thing that has EVER happened to me! He spoils me too :P

He picked them out all by himself, and I LOVE them! Seriously, he is amazing! AH!!

So, us being married right now kinda isn't so fun. He's in Texas, and I am here finishing up this semester of school. But on May 11th, less than a month away, I get to move to Texas! He got our new home on post, and I am so ready to move! I won't post pictures of the house due to nothing being in it, but I definitely will once I get there... I'll have PLENTY of time while sitting at home :P


Thanks for reading this about my mushy gushy love! I am excited for what the future holds for us! I'll keep you posted and I will write again soon. Love you all!



YEE HAW!

Dylan Swanty

Hello there!

I am sincerely sorry! I told you I am NO good at posting on here! Oh well.... Where do I even begin!?

I suppose Christmas... It waas GREAT! I love spending time with family! Unfortunately... I didn't take ANY pictures... Suprisingly! After Christmas, I started going out A LOT.

Which leads to this: I met Dylan Swanty.

He seriously is the best EVER! But theres just one thing that kinda sucks....

He's in the ARMY :( He currently is in Fort Benning, Georgia. In February he graduates form BASIC, and guess what I'm doing!? FLYING out there! Now, in case y'all didn't know.. I am TERRIFIED of planes. So it is quite crazy surprising that I am flying out to see his graduation. But, due to him being gone and having his phones only on Sundays, I have a new obsession:

Love letters! I have seriously written him just about everyday. It makes me happy to write him, because he's not here, so what better way to keep in contact!? (Plus, I have a soft spot for letters... I think they are just SO cute!!) But the best part about sending letters is....

Getting his letters in return. I seriously CRIED when I got his letters. Made my night! (Matter of fact, it made my WEEK!) All of this is amazing, but the BEST days so far is Sundays... for 2 reasons:

1. Its my ONLY day off of work.

2. Dylan get's his phone for a little, so I get to hear his voice.

This past Sunday we both downloaded an app called "Tango". It is 100% free, unless you buy the stupid effects, and the best part: YOU DON'T NEED WIFI! He has no wifi out there, so we can "FaceTime" but with a different app. It made me soooo happy to see him... But he looks so tired, its sad :(

Oh, Piper misses him too. Too bad he won't being going on my adventure to Georgia. Seriously, if I could take him, he would SO be going. I guess my mom will just have to take care of him for the week that I'm gone... Oh well, Grandma Triss loves him :)

Anyway! That's all I've got for ya! Have a happy MLK day, and be safe!! :)

Cheerio!
