He's a special one :o) As I have mentioned numerous times in my previous posts, he is the sweetest man I have ever known, and I don't know HOW I got so lucky to not only find him, but to hook him and reel him in!
Jason is a Gunner's Mate in the Coast Guard. The only thing I can tell you really about his job is that he handles the weapons and ammunition, and also is a small arms instructor--AKA--he teaches people how to handle and use guns, and gets them certified to use them. He will probably have tons of corrections to add to that when he gets home and reads this, ha! He loves his job, mainly because he LOVES guns. He 'collects' them and sometimes I think he regrets marrying me because he could have stayed single and would have a house full of guns by now....Too Bad :o) 
Not only is he a hard worker AT work, he is also a hard worker at home. He does SO much around the house, sometimes I feel guilty. He just gets in these 'moods' and you can't stop him. It almost annoys me because I just want him to SLOW DOWN, but there is no stopping him when these moods hit him. So it's either join him in a cleaning frenzy, or sit back, relax and enjoy the show :o)
He can also be a 'romantic' sometimes. When we went on our honeymoon he had all of this (above) waiting for me when we got to our stateroom, plus chocolate covered strawberries later on that night. It was pretty romantic :o) He has also been known to run me a nice hot bath, complete with candles around the tub, a glass of wine and an iPod with relaxing music-he even gave me a foot rub while I enjoyed my bath--isn't he sweet? Aside from the 'big' sweet things he does--he also does little sweet things throughout the day, everyday. And I know most of you ladies can agree, its the little things that mean the most. Anytime we go somewhere he turns on my seat warmer in the truck so it will be warm when I get in. He always opens doors and makes me go first, he even opens my car door most of the time. He holds my hand when we walk outside so I don't slip and fall. He lays on my side of the bed at night while I'm brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed, so it will be warm when I get in. He always refills my drink when he gets up to refill his. I should have known he was a sweetie from the beginning--people always told me, if a guy treats his Mama well, he will treat you well...and he loooves his Mama and his sister :o)
He's a manly man, and doesn't like for me to question his ability to do manly man things. He wants to carry ALL of the groceries when we get home from the grocery store, any heavy lifting is done by him, and anything that needs to be put together--that's his job. I don't mind putting things together--but he won't let me. Maybe he doesn't trust that I can do it the right way? Ha. He is very obsessive compulsive--he likes for things to be very organized and alphabetized as much as possible. He has an excel spreadsheet created for anything you can think of, and you guessed it--they are all alphabetized. Everything from movies we own, to movies we want, furniture we own, furniture we want, guns he owns, guns he wants, etc. I told you, he's a special one :o) It's a good thing he is the way he is though, because I am the exact opposite and we definitely need order in our lives.
Even though he is a manly man, he is also a silly billy a lot of the times.....scratch that. MOST of the time. He is a big ol' goofball. He is always impersonating someone, or quoting movies or just acting stupid in general. He has these crazy voices that he talks to the cat in, and I swear thats why she likes him better. Let me just say--the good Lord picked a good person for me to live in Alaska with, because he keeps me pretty entertained most of the time and if it were anyone else, I probably wouldn't have made it this far :o)
So that's my husband. A silly, sweet, handsome, genuine, manly, obsessive compulsive, neat freak, loving, big-hearted man :o) I couldn't have picked a better one, and I can't wait to see what a great Daddy he turns out to be! I'm actually a little scared that Paislee is going to come and steal all of my attention. I do know one thing--she will give the boys a hard time because she will know what a good man is, and will not settle for less!
My niece and nephew make me oh so happy :o) I love them so much and if it's any clue as to how much I am going to love Paislee--well lets just say she is going to be a lucky girl. Yes, I miss my family very much--but these kiddos are the ones that really get me. Maybe it's because they are young and I worry that they won't remember me, or don't understand why I'm not around anymore? I know Weston isn't worried about me, he knows I am living with Santa helping him and the elves make toys for Christmas ;o)
And Kensley still remembers me, so far. My mom will ask her "where's Ashley?" and she will point to my picture on the fridge, or say "mone, mone" and take her back to my room. So at least she knows where I'm SUPPOSED to be :o) I can't wait to take her home her very own, real, live babydoll this summer. She is going to be so happy...or at least we hope so :o)
Ahhhhhh! The beach. My heaven. I LOVE the beach with a passion. I could lay on the beach all day, everyday--eating my Hawaiian Shaved Ice--and it would never get old. I love everything about the beach. The HEAT. The sand, the water, the tan, the people watching, dog watching, boat watching. I love everything about it. There is not much that makes me happier than I am when I am sitting on the beach, wind blowing in my hair, listening to the waves. Sadly, I think my bikini days are over :o( While we are on the subject, another thing that makes me happy is the smell of tanning oil or sunscreen--go figure, it reminds me of the beach.
RED HOT DOGS! All of you folks that haven't had the pleasure of eating a red hot dog--you need to get your booties down to eastern NC and get you a red hot dog. YUM.
Okay, enough with the pictures, they're taking up lots of space--even though they are fun :o)
--I LOOOOOOOVE (there aren't enough 'O's in the world to describe how much I LOVE) to have my back scratched or my hair played with. I'm like a cat--I just like to be touched. Tuck my tag in, and I'm like "Ooh, do it again!" ha! When I lived on the Sigma floor I would give up my seat on the couch to ANYONE who wanted to sit there--as long as I could sit on the floor in front of them and have them play with my hair. I even began to learn WHO I could sit in front of and have them play with my hair without even having to ask--Erin Collins and Berrin were GREAT for it :o) I guess they just couldn't resist a head full of hair in front of them ;o)
--I love getting a good night's sleep. I know, those days are gone-but I can still love them! And if I had it my way, I would stay up till about 4 am every morning, and then sleep till noon. Does that make me a bad person?
--I love feeling baby kicks, and especially hiccups. It makes me laugh because I know how annoying hiccups can be, and I picture her in there, SO irritated, hiccupping away :o) Makes me laugh everytime!
--I love my sweet husband and how I got SO lucky finding him. We have the perfect love story and couldn't have found each other at a better time. I love how he always wants to kiss me, and always says that I'm beautiful--even when I know I look like CRAP. I love how he hoots and hollers when I walk around in my underwear--even now that I have cottage cheese thighs and stretch marks :o) And even though it gets on my nerves, I have to admit--every girl needs to hear that every once in a while--I hear it everyday, haha. I love how he would do anything for me, and how he spoils me and treats me like a princess, and I love how he is my best friend in the world and I could tell him anything and he wouldn't think bad of me or judge me for it<3
WOW, okay maybe this post could continue another day? Don't want anyone who is sitting here reading this to have to sit through anymore--I'll have to start paying ya'll haha. Obviously I LOVE a lot of things, and a lot of things make me happy :o) Most of them being back on the East Coast--like my family, friends and the foods that I LOOOVE :o) Ya'll get the picture!
Maybe this post should have been titled 'Talk-a-lot Thursday' :o)
Hope everyone has had a great day--it's almost the weekend!
XOXO,
