Together again at last!

During Tuckers week of misery, my friends Kiki and Kinzi came out to keep me company here in cali. We had such a fun time, and I sure enjoyed the time I got to see Kiki (who lives in Missouri and I only see her about once a year now)...but as sad as it was to say our "See ya's", I sure am happy to FINALLY be with my husband for longer than a weekend this time!!! We also just got a new car- a nissan versa- and we are very excited about that. Maybe later I'll post pictures of it. But that's all for now, and I'll try to update this more than I have been for those who are following =)

California Living

As you may or may not know, its been a hard couple of months for us...and unfortunately it will keep getting harder. Tucker has a lot of schools to attend before his DEPLOYMENT in december :'( This week he is attending SERE school...the first week is in class training so he's able to come home those nights, but next week I wont be able to see or talk to him all week because he will be out on the field training to be a prisoner of war! Scary. It's been a little nerve racking for the both of us. I just can't wait for this to be behind us.

But on a brighter note, we have also been able to spend SOME time together, and during those times we've made the most of it. My sister came out to visit 2 weekends ago, and the three of us went to the San Diego zoo and Sea port village! Fun stuff...(And if you'll notice I wore my zebra shirt and Tucker wore his turtle shirt)























That weekend we also got boogie boards!! What a blast that was!!

SURPRISE!!!

Tucker and I made a weekend visit to Las Vegas this weekend. Little did he know I had a little surprise planned for him. (with a litte help from facebook) I tracked down a few of Tuckers old friends from high school and invited them over to my parents house Saturday night. My mom was in on it too...so we told him we were just going to have a small family "birthday dinner" for him that night. When we walked in everyone yelled "SURPRISE!" Tucker didnt realize at that moment that it was more than just MY friends...but couple seconds later it hit him and he was completely shocked! It was such an awesome surprise =) He was so happy...



These next 2 months will be really hard on us, since Tucker has school after school after school....LITERALLY. I will be in vegas for 2 weeks while tucker is in virginia, come back to california for 1 week, back to vegas for 3 weeks while Tucker gos to Georgia, back to cali for 2 weeks, then back to vegas for another 2 weeks while Tucker's at S.E.R.E. school. (Survive Evade Resist Escape) Basically training for POW.
But thats the military life for you!

The newest (and possibly the cutest) member to our family...

Yeah, I convinced Tucker to buy us a puppy...ha. But even though right now might not have been the BEST time to get a dog, we sure don't regret it one bit. Tilo has been such an incredible addition to our family. And both of us growing up with little dogs of our own, I think we can both say with confidence that Tilo is the most animated, happy puppy we've ever seen! Not to mention THE CUTEST...and I know that everyone thinks their dog is the cutest but just look at this face.....



See, we weren't kidding =)
We're still trying to break him out of the "puppy pad" stage, and of course like any puppy he loves to bark and bite. Just a few more weeks and he'll grow out of it. (WE HOPE)

Hellooo Blogspot!!!

After looking at the many adorable blogs made by our friends and family, we decided to make our own. As you probably know already, we (Tucker and Tracy) are newlyweds and enjoying every minute of married life. It's incredible to finally be able to spend all this time with our best friend...and knowing that this love we have for eachother is forever, including the time left in this life on earth and the next one. All of it is such an unbelieveable experiance. We can't wait to see whats in store for us. Bring it on, we are ready!!!
