Rain Rain GO AWAY!!

It is June (almost July) in San Antonio. Wouldn't you think it would be like in the 100s by now? Well NO!!! It has been raining for the past week atleast once a day AND today it rained all day. I seriously thought I was going to get in an accident today. My car isn't the best and the tires are old and there was a lot of water EVERYWHERE!! Well, by the grace of God I got to school and to my sister's house. Rain Rain GO AWAY! Come later. I don't want another flood this summer. On a brighter note...only 6 more days of class then one day off and I start again. AND only 57 more days till Steven comes home. Yay! Time does move, slowly though, when Steven is gone! :)

Gretchen and Johnny are married!

Today Gretchen and Johnny got married. Here are a few pictures from the ceremony. I wish you could have been there but you know how things go. I can't wait for our wedding. It will be a lot of fun. I just can't even wait start planning. Anyway, the ceremony was nice and the guy said some nice words about your partner being your best friend and they should be everything to you and do a lot together. I hope I am your best friend. Okay well have a good day everyone!!

It's A Danger Zone here!!

I was cleaning out Steven's closet today and going through some crazy things!! I lot of stuff in there is military stuff and Steven just threw it all in there so while he is gone I thought I would take the liberty of organizing things. Here is some stuff I found and was playing around with this morning!!! Have a good day!

Kiddie Park

After visiting Johnny Mom, Gretchen, and I took Blaine to a place called Kiddie Park. It is soooo old and almost falling apart but it is for little kids Blaine's age so it was perfect. I took a lot of great pictures and they made me ride with Blaine on all the rides because he wouldn't go on them without me. I was a little too heavy for most of them but it was a great time and he had the biggest smile on his face the whole time!! Here are a few good shots and I will be sending steven more on his e-mail. Hope everything is going well.

Back Hoe Blaine!

Hey it's been awhile since i did a blog but nothing good has happened until today. We miss you and wish you could be here Steven but if it makes you feel any better Johnny is not going with us to any of these events either. We did take lunch to Johnny and Anthony offered to let Blaine sit in the BACK HOE! He was very excited about the horn! He kept honking it a lot!!! Then yours truely got a good idea to put him IN the digger thing. It was so cute. I hope you like the pictures!!

Fiesta Texas Day/GO SPURS GO!

Hey Steven!! Yesterday we went to Fiesta Texas after school and it was a lot of fun. I put sunscreen on 3 times and I still got fried! We rode every ride and there were like NO LINES!! We have got to go one day when you come home next year during the week so we can ride everything lots of times. We also spent much of the day in the water park. Your dad has broken down and gotten a pair of "crocs" and I knew that was unacceptable by your standards! You told me I could NEVER wear those but they look so comfy. After that I came home and took a shower and went out to your parents house to watch the Spurs game and spend the night! THEY WON!! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!! I love you! Talk to you later!

Chuck E Cheese

Today Gretchen, Mom, and I took Blaine to Chuck E Cheese. It was a lot of fun but Blaine hadn't had a nap and so he was in a bad mood. BUT we had a good time and eventually he got over his mood and had some fun too. I forgot how good the pizza was! We wish Steven could be there for all these fun things we are doing with him. He is growing up so fast and learning new things everyday! After chuck e cheese Blaine was dead tired but Gretchen and I went to Target to start her registry. It is so much fun to do one of those. It can get a little carried away! I can't wait for Steven to come home so we can start doing all the fun wedding and shopping stuff!!!! Only 386 more days till he is home!

Pool Party at Bill and Lisa's

Hey there! Yesterday I was invited out to LaVernia to go to a "spurs" party at Bill and Lisa's. It was a lot of fun. We went swimming, ate, and watched the game. Man I haven't been in a pool in forever but it was a lot of fun. I wish Steven could have been there to play with everyone and have a good time too. But Steven called in the middle of everything to say "hi" to everyone so that was really kind. Here are a few pictures of us swimming and "donkey"!! I miss you Steven! Can't wait till you are home again next summer and we can ALL go swimming!!! Be good and only 387 more days! It gets closer everyday!

I WASHED YOUR CAR!!!

Hey Steven, I got a lot done today. I cleaned the upstairs, hung up some pictures, did my homework, and WASHED YOUR CAR!!! (finally) I am going out to LaVernia tonight to watch the spurs game so feel free to call and I will talk you through it! I just wanted to post that I had washed your car inside and out and it looks BEAUTIFUL!!! Although I am not wearing a bathing suit there is still the rest of the summer to do it. Just kidding. When you come home it will be like coming home to a brand new car (oh wait it is!) Love you!

Terrible Twos here We come!!!

Well so far all the things I have said about Blaine have been good ones. BUT he is not always a little angel. He is 19 months old and starting to work into the terrible twos! Boy, will it be a long ride. If he doesn't get his way (and he does most the time) he throws the biggest fit! Gretchen makes him sit on the stairs until he feels that he is done crying and wants to join the normal world again. Sometimes this process will take 2 minutes but I have seen it last as long as 10! He will learn that he can't always get his way and he needs to deal with it, not throw a fit about things. Here is a picture of fit throwing, so I can show that it is not all roses! But overall he is a wonderful child and a joy to be around!!! Love you!

Another Long Day

Hey babe, today I worked from 6-2 and boy, was it a long day! I missed talking to you this morning (since you didn't call). Anyway, I finally went on break at 1:00 how stupid is that!!!?? Anyway, your dad came up to eat at the time I was going on break so we had lunch together. It was very nice. I miss you a lot and can't wait to see you again. It surely is lonely here. But I know you are just as or more lonely. I love you so much. be good! Talk to you later. Here are some random pictures. I LOVED SEEING YOU ON THE WEBCAM!!!! I wish I could hug and kiss you.

Blaine's first trip to the ZOO!

Hey Steven, today was Blaine's first trip to the zoo. It was such a fun, HOT ,humid day! We have not talked much today but I have been really busy as you know. Gretchen, Mom, Baby, and I went at about noon today and Blaine loved it. We looked at lions, zebras, crocks (he loves), birds, fish, everything! We all had such a good time. I was telling him where this one kind of snake came from, China, and he almost said it! It was a "Ch" sound and a "na" sound. We are working on it. Then mom was growling like a lion and Blaine started growling!!! It was so cute. Man do I wish you could be here but I took a lot of pictures for you. I will post some and email or send you the rest in the mail! Oh yeah, I turned into a butterfly too! Love you so much! Talk to you soon I hope. Go Spurs!

Back to School, Back to School

Well today was the first day of classes for summer one. I enjoyed getting back to school even though I don't like the long drive! My car is really starting to poop out and a new car is very much needed. August will be the month I get myself a new one and not soon enough! Anyway, school will be fun for the next 5 weeks! We will be doing a lot of computer stuff (it is a technology class) and I will be learning how to use technology to my advantage instead of against me! Steven and I have not talked much today so I really miss him but I know he is busy and stuff. Until next time!

My Day with Mr. Blaine

Well Steven, as you know yesterday was hard for us. It was the day we had to say goodbye to one another for a very long time. But I tried my best to stay busy and not let things get to me too much so I spent my day with my second favorite person besides you! I spent my time with Blaine. I got to my sister's at 5am and slept for about 2 1/2 hours until Blaine woke me up and got into bed with me. We had such a fun day together. We had lunch, went to Hobby Lobby, and SWIMMING!!! He is getting really close to me and liking me a lot. I am going to teach him your name when he starts talking and he is sooooo close! I love you so much and can't wait to talk to you whenever you call again. One is the wrong way. I don't know how to fix it yet. Sorry.

We are engaged!!!

Last Friday night, May 25th, Steven asked me to marry him!!! We went out to dinner (to Chili's) and then we went Ice Skating. It was sweet because it was a recreation of our first date when we met. It was really nice and something I will remember FOREVER!!! I can't believe after 3 long years (almost, 3 years on July 5th) we are finally engaged! I am so happy. I just wish he didn't have to leave so soon. BUT it makes it exciting to think that when he comes home we will begin to plan a wedding!! Mark your calendars for about July 18, 2009.

First Day of the Deployment

Today I dropped Steven off for his deployment at 3 am!!! It was so early I don't even remember anything!!! Just kidding. It was a very emotional goodbye with lots of crying, on my part and Steven tried to stay strong but I knew he was very upset. He called me from the plane to tell me he loved me and that he already missed me. I know that this deployment will be a lot harder than the first one since we are so much closer now than we were last time. I love him so much and already miss him greatly. Hopefully I can see him one more time before he leaves for good one way or another. Steven, I had some pictures to put up but its not working right. I will try again later. Love ya!

General Pictures of our family

Here are some of the most recent pictures taken of our family. Many are of my (megan's) nephew Blaine who is 19 months old and the joy of my life, besides ,my Steven. I will be spending A LOT of time with him while Steven is gone because Blaine makes the time fly! I will also be going to school at UTSA and working a lot more. Hopefully all of this will keep me occupied and the year will go by in the blink of an eye. Also there are moer pictures of Me, Steven, his cousins (Jade, Lily, and Rayn) and his sister Astrud. There are a few of his parents, Frank and Kristy too! Love you steven!

Seeing how this works!

Hi, my name is Megan and this is a blog as to keep my finacee attached to the "goings on" that are happening in San Antonio while he is on his second tour in IRAQ. We will miss him very much and can't wait for him to be home again, in our loving arms. He is my best friend and partner and I will miss him soooooo much while he is gone. I wish him a safe journey while he is there and back home again.
