Round 2


Nathan received an email yesterday from Tom at portugoal.net asking him to write another article! He is in Graf this week, so he had to watch the game and write the article yesterday and today amidst training.

My Handsome Man: Soccer Writer



Anybody who knows Nathan even a little knows he loves soccer. He is constantly up to date on games that are being played and team/player standings. If he is near a computer, you can be guaranteed he is/has been/will be checking and commenting on all of his favorite soccer news websites. Well, yesterday he received an email from the head of one of those websites (portugoal.net) saying Nathan's comments about Portugal's team, coach, players, etc have been outstanding. Because of that, the guy wants him to write a few articles for the website! How awesome is that?!?! Nathan is really excited and I am so excited for him/proud of him! His first article will be about the game Portugal is playing next Saturday, the 26th. He is giving his opinion on things before the match, so by next Saturday he will be "a writer!" Oh, and I get to be somewhat of an editor for him : )
I'll be sure to post a link to his article on here so you all can read it.

How 2 Became 4

So I posted earlier about getting two new pairs of shoes today. I just ordered them. And then some... I ended up having more spending money than usual this month (love when Nathan informs me of that!) and was planning on getting some decorating items for the living room at Ikea. Well... I got an email from DSW today and instead of deleting it like I typically do, I opened it. Flat sandals on sale! Which are what I actually needed in my shoe wardrobe to replace a few pairs that have met their end. (Which is why they aren't as fun... They are like the exact same shoes, just not falling apart.) I felt guilty buying cute shoes I wanted (the two I posted about earlier) instead of cute shoes that I needed. But, hey, there's always next month, right? So I lucked out this time and ended up getting 2 that I wanted and 2 that I needed while saving over $30. So a few boxes will be coming my way in the next few weeks containing these beauties:

Awesome/Not Awesome

Awesome
-Buying two super cute pairs of shoes when we get paid next week.


-Saving over $20 on said pairs of shoes by googling online discount codes. Never knew you could do that. Or that it would be so worth it!
-Becoming the new Preschool Teacher on Wednesday nights at the chapel. I have missed little kids!
-Getting a little bit used to being here by myself. That's not really awesome, but it's certainly helpful where my emotional state is concerned.
-Beth Moore's Breaking Free Bible Study (I know I already wrote about it on here, but it's seriously awesome.)
-Having a mom that will send me a package containing steak seasoning and makeup. She really is the bestest mom ever.
-The Big Bang Theory TV Show. Too funny. Not the best show (like The Office) but certainly entertaining. Sheldon is my favorite.

Not Awesome
-Slowly, but unintentionally, pushing my dinner time all the way back to midnight since Nathan's been gone. Who does that?
-Also pushing my bedtime back, again... slowly and unintentionally, to 3am. Never in my life have I gone to bed that late on a consistent basis.
-Having to face returning the 7th dining chair (that we unknowingly bought, shoved in our car, and almost fully put together) to Ikea. Without my persuasive husband.
-Still not being even half way through Nathan being home.
-Having to have my car inspected at the gate on base for the first time ever on Sunday. While running late to church. And then having to have it inspected again only two days later while in a hurry to get to the commissary and buy fruit before the women's Bible study started. Couldn't they have been just a little more considerate and picked me when I was just going to the library and not racing against the clock?
