A couple of Marines from Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station have made headlines and have even attracted attention from Britney Spears herself.

 Rein 266 and HMLA 169 made this video that has now reached over 2 million views.

It's nice to know that our men and women serving overseas can still have a good time while being in such a CRAPPY place.

Check out the vid below.

OOO RAHHHH!!!

I booked my flight to AR last weekend AND I am so excited to see my family, friends, and most importantly my unborn… hopefully born by the time I leave- baby nephew, Rivre.

My itinerary was  a complicated one to figure out… How in the world do you plan around when someone will go into labor? I want to be there for my sister when it happens, but I realize that  that may not be possible. :( I ended up planning out my trip so that her due date falls in the middle of my 8 day stay. Hopefully lil Rivre will decide to be born while I’m around!!

I definitely plan on giving him a pep talk to come on out into the real world when I get there! He should be able to hear me RIGHT???My plane will drop in at about 08:00... that's when MISSION LABOR INDUCING will begin! We have a few myth-like natural inducers  that we plan on trying out… HOPEFULLY one of them works!! :)

Our visitors officially left our pad last Wednesday. Yep, the same visitors that Mike said would be staying for a week or so… more like 3+ weeks. They were nice, but having people you just met stay with you for 3 weeks was a bit much.
 
I did a short happy dance when they left, just because I finally have my privacy back… Oh, how I love and missed you privacy!!!   :)

This past weekend was a fun and relaxing one. Who knew doing mostly nothing could be so GRAND!We cooked out, napped, relaxed outside, went to the beach, cooked out some more, went shopping, and then went to the beach again! 

 It never gets old goin over this bridge to Topsail.

Mac joined us both days, and behaved amazingly well! We couldn't quit talking about how our baby is growing up, and getting more mature. He's such a cutie!

How are you liking Mike's skimpy "I wanna get my legs tan" shorts? I am thinking of just buying him a speedo, what do you think? Ha, he cracks me up!

The weather was amazing, and surprisingly the ocean wasn’t too cool. I would not have known that last bit if it weren’t for M. calling me a little baby repeatedly for not wanting to get in. Yea… I’m no baby!! I’LL SHOW YOU!!... He knows how to get me every time! 

...f i v e...

What in the world is going on with all of this crazy weather, chaos in foreign countries breaking out left and right, brush fires lighting up everywhere?? Seriously?

Sorry for the awful picture quality lately!! My camera lens broke two weeks ago… and I am not too happy that I have to send it to FREAKIN New York to have it repaired! For the next week or so… phone shots will have to do. :)

Hope all of you are having a good week so far! CIAO 4 now luvs!

&

a great friend

Mac was adopted in 2008 from the back of a horse trailer... I'll admit, i was a bit apprehensive to pick him as Mike was stuck on buying a Great Dane and here was Mac, a crazy mix of god knows what... I just really wanted Mike to have what he wanted... and WELL, Mac happened to turn out to be just that.

thank god Mike didn't say something like, "your right Amy, we'll keep looking for that perfect Great Dane!"

I cannot picture life without this BIG ol' ball of joy. He is a fresh of breath air, a bit of spice to life, and a happy face that never fails to great me each time I stroll through that front door.

I was thinking today as I sat around with him how much I have learned from him, and how much I would like to be a little more like him.

While I don't care to take up peeing with my leg hiked high or chewing on dirty underwear, I do want to embrace life a little more like he does!!...

I want to always be friendly to everyone I come across, speak less, listen more, and love a bit more recklessly....

I'd like to be silly a little more often, and not care so much what everyone else thinks about it!!...

to shed that armor, n let more people in... to relax like there is nothing going on...

To quit being so cautious, and to take more moments to stop and enjoy nature...

to let go of all control and simply trust others to come through

.....

to let things go and never hold grudges

....

to not care so much about material things, but more about the things that really matter... my family, my friends, and god

its crazy how a dog has brought all this to my attention... i guess sometimes we don't realize how and what things really influence us and inspire us to be a bit better until we take a moment to think about it.

today its Mac, but there are so many people, places, and things that inspire me all the time... my husband is one of those people. He is very encouraging and always pushes me to be the best me.

i guess I'm just feeling extra thankful today.

have a goodnight y'all... oh and dont forget to check out the workout today in the bodyrockin' tab. Super intense, but so worth it!! :)
