Hello World

All the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
SO Hello World, Hello World, Hello World

that song has been stuck in my head all day. sometimes songs just hit ya... ya know?! so we've officially moved into our permanent housing. we've been in for 2 nights now. it's certainly been an adventure. for starters... this whole 4 plex was built on the worlds most gigantic ant hill.... and apparently i am the only one who even cares... i mean really?! so i am woman! i am single handedly  exterminating the entire colony... (cue evil laughter) BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... wow can you tell that i was kept awake almost all night last night :)

we got a puppy. he was 6 weeks old when we got him. but he turned 7 weeks yesterday. he's a Shar Pei and he's pretty much the cutest dog i've ever seen! his name is Deezul Oliver Gardiner... initials D.O.G :)

and apparently they have placed us in a demolition zone. so within the next 1-3 years they will be tearing this place down. :) this means they will move us into another place... hopefully a newer nicer one with less insects... cause this sucks! but since we're in a Demo zone, they have GIVEN UP on yard care in this section of the base housing.. it's bull crap. the entire base housing has lush green grass, and gorgeous plants..... i have dirt patches, and clumps of completely DEAD lawn. my new neighbor down our little hill has a beautiful lawn though. she gave me some advice, apparently living this close to the beach, all i have to do is put out a sprinkler everyday and my grass will grow... so we have officially started operation lawn revival.. i've taken before pictures...

ugg and it doesnt even look as bad in this picture cause i'd been watering for like an hour already. but i am determined!!!

ok next adventure... i guess the people that lived in this unit before were some pretty heavy drinkers... thats the only conclusion i can come to... cause what kind of people would smash beer bottles in their back yard.... IF THEY HAD A DOG! not sober people, i'll tell you that much! so when i was at home depot for a sprinkler and insect weaponry i picked up a bucket and some garden gloves... and i've spend HOURS trying to pick up all the rocks, garbage and glass all over our yard. our little Dee has almost choked on alot of the garbage... and i saw him trying to eat a piece of broken glass... ya that would've been fun to try and pass!

so ya it's friday night, and Riley has duty.... whats duty you may be asking yourself... well basically he gets to patrol the barracks for 24 hours and make sure that there is order.... fun huh. which means tonight it's just me and little Deezul tonight. right now we're laying in bed. with lady antebellum playing, and a candle for a little night light... i think he's gonna do good at being there for me when rye is away on trainings and deployments...he's a good pup.... and he's potty training really well... in almost a week he's had less than 10 accidents... almost all of which were my fault. he is the sweetest little thing!!!!
