WOW so DB had put i a request for the end of march for R+R...but too many requested for that time so they started VolunTELLING the single guys different dates. They told DB he'll be going home for R+R about a month from now A MONTH!!!!!!!!! oh my gosh I know it can change once again but I have so much stuff to do...first OFF I have to rearrange all our plans that we already made...not to mention save money faster which isnt very possible! I have my hair to do go tan an get rid of my pale winter skin :) I wanted to get a Brazillian wax my hair done my nails done! I want to get all that done as well as save money too! Ugh not gonna happen...I know we'll be happy to see each other more like ECSTATIC AND CRAZY AND OH MY GOSH its only about a month away!!!!!!! But It's also so stressfull because I had it in my mind that I had till the end of march to save up money :( now I guess Im gonna have to pull it out of my butt....oh my gosh its so stressfull and exciting at the same time I just dont know how to feel....and the thought's also in the back of my mind that after he goes back Ill have about 10 months till I see him again :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( I should have put this in the venting section...geesh. But im not complaining about seeing him just the other stress factors that are involved :(

Good luck saving the money you need! YAY that he is coming home!!!! :D

Whoa, to the wax.
Good luck, if it's your first time..hehe

Congrats on him getting R&R!

I learned quickly with everything as far as my marriage and the Corps and that is not to "picture" anything becuase it NEVER comes out that way. I actually very much so just go with the flow...If I wanted to get my hair done and I dont...oh well and if I am white...oh well. HaHa I was stressing myself out in situations I couldnt control! YAY for R&R Though!!!!!!

ohhh i have a tip!!

if you need money sell the stuff that you don't need (ex. old clothes, bags, furniture) on craigslist or ebay. I got almost 500 bucks last year for crap that i didnt want:)


**haha and im doing it right now to get money for my killer phone bill:(

first of all, this deserves a happy dance: :yahoo :yahoo

You can get the nails, hair and wax done in a weekend, so i wouldn't fret too much. It just seems like it's all happening at once!! Make a calendar. Call now for the appointments. You can always cancel if the date changes, but at least you have a plan. It feels better once you've got a plan! :giggle

You're going to be so happy to see him it's not going to matter. Keep going with the flow, girl!!

GOOD IDEA! I should definitely do that in what little free time I have haha! Thanks***

wow thats great!!! Just focus on how great its gonna be to see him, try not to think about when he's leaving right now. You are gonna have so much fun!:grin:

well let me start by saying that I went through the same thing you are going through now. They volunteered my husband to come home for r&r a month after he left! it sucked bad, i was just getting used to the fact that he was gonna be gone for a while, then there he was! to be honest, i wasn't prepared at all and it killed a big part of our relationship *mentally not physically. so the best advice i can give you is A)get a spray tan a few days before he gets home B)you could save money by not getting your nails done i mean my husband would prolly just bitch at me for doing that, cuz its a waste of money *his point of view not mine, but for the most part, your guy loves you the way you are. and of course you want to look your best, but you are gorgeous. don't stress too much about the small stuff. He will be just as happy to see you with your hair thrown up and sweats as long as its you. you and him right there. Stay in the moment, cuz it sure does go quick. his r&r wasn't nothing special, but we didn't get along the whole time he was home. Don't push things too hard. If he wants to talk about his time there then thats great, but my guy just got mad if i asked him about it. i am excited for you though! good luck!

hello happy dance!!! :happydance :getdown:happydance:getdown

what a great unexpected surprise!! like the ladies said, don't stress too much... just take one thing at a time and do your best with it. The craigslist idea is perfect!! We all have crap layin around that we don't need
old crap + craigslist = $$$$$$$$$

be happy and excited...because i guarantee your man is THRILLED to see you!!! :D :yes

Voluntelling! Wow, that's a good term to use. I hate that...Grrr. Everytime my db is in Iraq...they would always do that whole voluntelling deal too. Even this time around he asked to come home in November..but he got voluntold he's staying until after the New Year. :grumpy :sigh :no

As for your hair: When you're at the salon, ask if they have beginner techs who will be graded for doing hair. They are fully supervised while they do your hair, and are being graded. If they look like they're about to do a wrong step, they're stopped and corrected right away....so don't worry about coming out looking like a mess!! ;) I've done it before and my hair came out perfectly fine...i went for highlights and a hair cut! :D It's also a lot cheaper, because they're students who are being graded and pursuing jobs at the salon.

I know that Tony & Guy do this for sure!

Good luck with everything, and YAYYYYY for him coming home!!!! The extra month will fly by!!! :cp

:yay for r&r...don't stress!

Once he see's you he could care less about all that other stuff. he is just going to want to :sex. :giggle
As far as the wax,let him do it with clippers. My DH loves it when I ask him to do that.
