Sooo I am feeling so much better today. I got out of the house with Crystal and had a good day. Antibiotics are awesome and working. I also had Kraft Mac and Cheese for dinner and that is my ultimate favorite. For future reference. Ummm.. let's see not much has changed here. Baby Robbie is good, I got to hear his little heartbeat this week. :) And that as awesome. Now that I am getting better I can get back to life and not lying around all week.
Daddy Robbie started working this week and he is enjoying that. It's keeping him busy anyways and that's good. He's been working out a lot and went on a 5-6 mile run today with his whole group of people. It's a company or battalion or something like that... Anywho, he said he did pretty good and others were dropping like flys and he had to run around and check on them. :) I thought that was so cute. hehe.
We miss each other a lot, but we web-cam almost everyday which is awesome. We both can't wait for me to be there getting ready for the baby. I know my mom is anxious and excited to join us in Germany and help out with the little man. :)
I know in reality these months are going to fly by which is both exciting and also makes me a little anxious. haha. I have a lot going on here between now and then so that's good.
Ok so this post has been a lot of rambling but I'm trying to watch American Idol and write this at the same time, which is probably not the best thing to do. So I am leaving you with that.
Love ya'll!

Colds are for the birds...
Ugh.. so I have been sick for 6 days now with a cold. Achy, fever, congestion, sore throat, bad cough, and now an ear ache... What did I do to deserve this!!! I just got back from the docs and got an antibiotic! Yes! So I am fixing to run to my favorite place (Plant City Walmart) and get it filled. I am also supposed to get some Robitussin DM to take care of my cough. And I think I will treat myself to a McDonalds cheeseburger on the way. Hey I haven't had fast food since like Maryland so it's all good. :)
Anywho, I got to hear the baby boy's heartbeat today! It's still beating fast! Also I am pretty sure I started to feel all those "flutters" you guys have been telling me about this week! :) Very exciting. I like to feel him so I know he's doing ok in there. It has been very exciting.
Ok well pray that I start feeling better soon. I need to get back to life and not laying around. I can't stand it!!
Love ya'll

Have I lost it?
So with the design thing..I'm trying to find my mojo. I think it got packed up for Germany, which means it's somewhere in a storage facility in Orlando. I have the number. I could call and see if they have it. hmm....
On another note, I was asked for some design advice, and well in the past I have been much of a "I find it hard to criticize because I might step on toes" type of designer, BUT in my mid-level years here I am coming into my own as far as that goes and am learning to be a leader in this crazy world I work in, and sooooo I told the truth! HEY sometimes the truth hurts. BUT when asking a professional for their professional opinion, wouldn't you want the same? Especially if the advice you might take from some random "Advisor" will do damage to your existing image?? Of course I gave my opinion in a very professional manner and gave many examples and weblinks to back up my claims so I am not alone in my design conviction... and of course I apologized at the end.. haha.
Ok well, I'm sure I will get nothing but support on this subject, but I'd love to hear your comments none the less!!

I'm back!
Ok so I am back. Here I go!
Updates on life...
I feel really stupid right now cause I just got off the phone with someone and I thought I was talking to someone else, so I'm going on and on and about the time I realize its not the person i think it is, I've already said too much, so I'm all ok gotta go bye!
Anyways.. weird!
Ok, not a great update I know, but hey it's the truth. Sooo, updates on me. I am doing fine. Physically I am healthy and have a growing baby boy on the way! Robert Thomas Simison! So it's time to start planning my nursery! I'm going to be finishing my registry with an expert tomorrow (Crystal), so that will be fun. I am freelancing now with my great friend Janna in California. She is an amazing designer and has allowed me the privilege of joining her in conquering the world (or Redlands, CA) with design. So far so good, I have started on my first project and, unless she is lying to me, Janna is happy with what I am doing. :) So onward I go!
So, updates on Robbie, he is in Germany. And doing well. He is kind of bored because he is going through all the motions of getting setup on post and what not. He has moved rooms 3 times. And hopefully is finally set where he is. He has a nice little room. It's kind of like a studio apt. It has a little living room sitting area, and a desk, a queen size bed, and a kitchen area with fridge and microwave. And his own bathroom. It looks much like a dorm room. He has been working out and frogging around Germany. Learning some German, and trying to navigate public transportation, which has not been easy... it took him about 3.5 hours to get home the other night and finally gave up and took a cab. eep! Luckily he wasn't alone. But I have been able to talk on the phone and now web cam with him almost everyday so that's great! I miss him a lot and we are continuing to plan for the next few busy months ahead of us!
So this week I got this book called "Married to the Military" and it is great (Thank you Gretchen) I am learning a lot about the life I am joining. Let's just say that it will be a major learning experience. Kind of like joining a lifelong country club. haha. Well it can be if you make it that... There are all kinds of social aspects to this deal and it will be interesting to see what lies ahead. I am lucky enough to already have some girlfriends and family who are military women to email quickly if I lose it.. or need a decoder. That is when Robbie is not around. He is great at explaining everything and helps me out when I'm like "huh?"... I think I should make some flash cards or something, cause I have to ask numerous times. Oh and Crystal I was wrong...the commissary is the grocery store and the PX is the department store... so PX does NOT stand for publix... think I can remember that? We'll see. :)
OH, I am living at my grandmothers and things are going well here. My grandmother actually bought a wireless router for the house so I could have internet here and no longer have to go to the library or moms to use the internet.. So helpful!! Also my vehicle is FOR SALE!!! So if anyone knows anyone who knows anyone looking for a rather new car ($18,500) please send them my way!!! I have a craigslist post that I can email should anyone need it. I know I'm using my own blog for solicitation but HEY! It's cool. :) Ok I'm done now.
Ok well I gotta get back to work! So I will try and update this regularly again!
Love ya!
Bye
