The Jetplanes are soooo money...

The Jetplanes are heading to Vegas this afternoon. Normally, I would (and should) be very excited about this trip, however I'm not.

#1 I really don't have the bandwidth at work right now to take a vacay, especially since I'm going to be out all next week for our real vacay that we have planned for like 6 months.

#2 Its for Mr. Jetplane's sister's wedding. Which we found about it last month. We aren't besties by any means and certain things happened at my wedding which I still hold a grudge about. Even though Mr. Jetplane had a long talk with me during our dog walk last night, begging and telling me I seriously need to let it go. I'm sorry, but I don't think I can.

That being said, I'm not going to do anything to ruin her day, I wouldn't do that.

But I have packed 3 dresses - the white/purple one and 2 black ones. I'm also bringing my new bright blue shoes...

So I'm going to pre-apologize for my lack of posts in the coming days.

I'm sure I'll come back with all sorts of 'good' stories.

Blog-o-versary!

YEAH!!! Leaving and Loving Turns 1 Year Old Today!!!

Due to my chaotic schedule with Mr. Jetplane, dog issues, upcoming Vegas trip, Lake Vacay, Friends coming into town, work kicking my ass, New House, and Moving.... I almost totally missed that TODAY is my 1 year blog anniversary.

Its astonishing to me that

#1 I have stuck with this blog.

#2 People read this blog.

#3 People actually like this blog and keep reading it.

I want to tell you all how much our 'invisible' friendships mean to me. You are all so wonderful, caring, and helpful. I started this blog at a time when I was preparing for Mr. Jetplane and I to be apart for 6 months. This blog and you fantastic ladies helped me get through that time and have helped me everyday since.

I appreciate you all more than you'll ever be able to know. Mr. Jetplane doesn't understand this new love of blogging and he doesn't understand how I can be so absorbed into the lives of other people that I don't even know. But I am and its okay with me.

The military wife life can get lonely, especially when all of your friends have left the base that you're at, or when all the women around you suck and you don't want to hang out with them. This blog and your 'invisible' friendships have gotten me through the day.

So Thank You all! I have a small token of my gratitude that will be in a giveaway for next week. So stay tuned.

Love you all.... Thank you for listening to my complaints, putting up with my pug love, and helping me through my irrational fears about getting pregnant.

With All Our Love,

The Jetplanes

Pug Friday

Happy Friday to you one and all! Here's your lil taste of Pug Love for the week.

Jetplanes' BIG News!

Okay! First, NOOOOO Mrs. Jetplane isn't knocked up. But thanks for playing....


Here is the news...




We're buying a house! We put an offer in yesterday and it was accepted in record time, which we think means we should have asked for more...but oh well. We got all of the closing costs, all the appliances, a fence, gas logs, and several other odd and ends.

We're excited and scared to death all at the same time. The house is brand new and we're having the builder finish the bonus room upstairs before we move in next month. Its been a whirlwind. If you follow my twitter, you would have read the emotional roller coaster I've been on with this living situation.

Is this house our dream house...NO. Its our FIRST home. We look at it as an investment and we will rent it out once we leave North Carolina.

Okay...I'm going to go throw up now... We close on August 26th. They have to make some changes to the front porch, put up the fence, and finish the bonus room prior to inspection. But everyone assures us it will be done. Crossing finger and toes....

Holy Crap, we're buying a house...

Happy Birthday to Ya, Mr. Jetplane!

Today my best friend turns 29 years old. Happy Birthday sweetheart! I love you more today than yesterday. Who would have thought about 5 years ago, we would have met, become great friends, and fall in love. You are the funniest, most sarcastic, yet sweetest guy I've ever known.

Happy 29th Mr. Jetplane. Now I'm not the 'old lady' in the house any more....

And just for fun.... Here's a vintage pic of Mr. Jetplane. Wasn't he a cutie.

FYI- That Elvis costume was mine. I wore it to a Halloween party and he wore the next day to work. This was pre-Air Force Jetplanes, when he managed a bank.

And... how are you all loving the new look? Thank you Krizzy Designs!!!

Odds and Ends

First things first, Milo is okay. Thank you all for your kind words and emails, I'm an overbearing puppy mama I know.

Looks like he sprained his paw, if that is even possible. He's on some pain meds and doing a lot better. He's quite a funny pug running around at top speed on 3 legs. But it was sad watching him try to figure out on to pee on things when he couldn't put pressure on his left hind leg. But he figured it out.

We're gonna watch him for 5 days, and if needed we'll take him back for Xrays.

We do have exciting news at the Jetplanes household, but I'm not ready or able to get into it fully due to my workload and wanting to spend time with Mr. Jetplane since he was gone for over 4 days. But that news is coming...

In other news... Mr. Jetplane turns 29 tomorrow. Yeah! Now he can stop calling me his older woman and a cougar all the time. He finds it very funny since I am a whole month and 6 days older than him.

And after the fiasco that was my birthday, if you recall, I have made it a point to let him know that I purchased his bday gift well in advance. Eventhough I forgot to wrap it this weekend. Shhh...its hid in my dress closet in the workout room/bedroom. He doesn't go into that closet, yes I have a closet that I keep my old work suits and dresses in, yes I have a problem, yes I'm looking to deal with it.

Anyway, I'll discuss what the gift is tomorrow.

Happy Tuesday all! Gotta get back to work.

Preoccupied With the Pug

So if anyone of you follow my Twitter you'll know that some BIG things are happening with the Jetplanes, however I don't have the time (work=blows) right now to discuss.

And I'm totally preoccupied (worried) about my lil baby, Milo. He hopped around on 3 legs for most of Sunday and it currently at the vet. Generally speaking, his spirits seemed to be up all day yesterday, but this morning my lil man was not a happy camper.

Mr. Jetplane took him to the vet and cross your fingers, he didn't break anything. He and Charlie played pretty rough on Saturday evening.... they went crazy with the fireworks going on.

I'll update as soon as I hear anything.
