Playing Tourist

I have been bugging Tylor for the past 3 weeks to go to Seattle. He kept saying he didn't want to go because of traffic and blah blah blah. Today, he kept telling me to get ready, but not telling me where we were gonna go. After much harrasment he finally told me we were going to see some waterfall he heard about....I believed that until I saw all the huge buildings of Seattle lol We went to Pikes Place Market...which is sooo cool! We are def going to have to go back there. It was huge! Def not what I was expecting. We saw the gum wall, which was disgustingly cool lol Kinda gross to think about how many germs are on that wall though. We had lunch at the market also, we had gyros...go figure lol We also saw Andrew Zimmerman from the Food Network. It was very cool. Although he wasn't as friendly as I would have thought. We walked around for about 3 hours and decided it was time to go unless we wanted to pay for longer parking (ridicilous) only to find out one of Tylors tires were COMPLETELY flat. We called a tow, waited about 45 mins. The tow finally got there, then halfway to Good Year it broke down lmao but we finally got there alive. It didn't take too awfully long for them to patch on the tire and for us to be headed back home. Oh the Adventures of Tylor and Megan lol It was a very good day today and very eventful. Anytime someone visits us we are def going to hit up Pikes Place again. Seattle is def very different than anything I've seen..people were EVERYWHERE, I think there were probably more people walking than there were cars...which is weird to think about because the traffic is horrible. Well worth it though.

Yesterday we took Jaeger to the beach, saw some jelly fish and also saw 2 sea lions...or seals...we aren't sure which yet lol The one thing I like about this place is there is sooo much to do and to see. I'm going to see if next weekend I can con Tylor into going up to Crystal Mountain and taking the gondula ride...with Jaeger of course...I already made sure dogs were allowed lol It's been a very long and exciting day and we are exhausted. The bed is calling my name :)

Random facts about me

Ok...so maybe I will be pretty good at blogging because it hasn't even been a day...or a few hours and I'm already on my second blog lol I figured I would make this one a kinda fun blog with random things about me.

1. I have minor OCD. Not bad at all, but I do have my quirks lol I count things in my head, when I am writing I have to make the letters that are the same, EXACTLY the same. Essays are very annoying for me to write because I am constantly erasing and rewriting my letters. Just little things like that....I wish I was OCD about cleaning. Now THAT would be something that would be beneficial. lol

2. Another weird quirk about me is that I constantly talk, laugh, and walk in my sleep. (actually I dont "think" I have slept walked in a while, but then again, how would I know. lol)  My mom does it, and so does my papa. Not sure about anyone else. It's a nightly thing and my husband HATES it. He can actually talk to me or ask me questions while I'm sleeping and I'll answer them, although sometimes the answers are a bit weird lol Ever since I can remember I wake up and dig through my blankets and pillows like I'm looking for something. Another thing that drives Tylor crazy lol that is something I do a lot, probably atleast once a week, maybe more sometimes. I have even woken myself up doing it. I'm just a weird girl I guess lol

3. I LOVED my life growing up. I lived on an 8 acre (now 10) farm. We had everything from chickens, cows, goats, horses, to llamas, 2 zebras, 2 rheas, a wallaby, coati mundi, 2 bengal cats, sugar gliders...I think I'm missing something...lol and besides our regular dogs and a few rescues mom had, she also bred a few different breeds of dogs...so there were ALWAYS puppies around. I wouldn't trade my childhood for anything.

4. I come from an extremely close family, we lived on the same property as my grandmother and great grandmother so for me moving all the way cross the country is a huge deal.

5. I hate math. I severely struggled with it in school.

6. And I still suck at it.

7. But I love reading and writing. I did extremely well in English. So well, that I don't have to take english classes in college.

8. Speaking of school, I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to get back into it. I feel like I am falling wayyyyy behind and it makes me really upset :/

9. I want to go to school to be a juvenile probation officer.

10. Or a child psycologist.

11. But for now I am just planning on taking medical billing classes since I already have experience working in a doctors office.

12. I wish I would have never cut my hair.

13. Anyone who can make me laugh will automatically be my friend.

14. I laugh at everything.

15. Sometimes I get sad because it seems like all but a very few of my friends have forgotten about me since I got married and def since I moved away.

16. LAUREN WEED is my best friend in the whole wide world...no matter how long we go without seeing each other (she grew up as a military brat, and is now an airforce wife so she moves around a lot) we always pick up where we left off.

17. My brother has the same birthday as me

18. I hate hate hate when I haven't talked to someone in months and then they only talk to me when they need something.

19. I really want to volunteer at an animal shelter, but I know that I would want to take home every single animal. It breaks my heart to see those faces :(

20. I really despise pet stores that sell pets, to me its almost as bad as a shelter. So many puppies that you see in a pet store are sick or have something wrong with them.

21. I have obviously inherited too many of my mothers genes lol

22. We want a lab puppy for our next pet. I LOVE labs!

23. Or maybe another Elkhound, but probably a lab. lol

24. Me and Tylor have an awesome relationship, and not one of those fakey "lets act happy" ones. We never fight, or really even get mad at each other. If we happen to have a disagreement we work it out and we are never upset for more than a few minutes.

25. Probably because he always does something stupid and makes it so dang hard to stay aggravated lol

26. I met Tylor through an ex.

27. I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason.

28. Me and Tylor use to be in church almost everytime the doors were open. Then he went to basic and I got busy with a job so we both kinda stopped going. I really want to find a church around here.

29. I got in 2 wrecks, 8 days apart.

30. The really bad one was on my wedding day. What fuuuun lol

31. Even though it could have been A LOT worse I still get upset thinking about the car accident, and my heart races the few times that I have driven since then (which is 3) and sometimes I have nightmares about car accidents and it feels like I'm actually wrecking. I think I jump 3 feet in the air, scare Tylor half to death lol

32. I miss my brother SOOOOOOO much! We facetime each other everyday.

33. Even though I am 3,000 miles away from home, I still need my mommy and she still helps me anytime I need it.

34. In one of my eyes I have a little black dot. So does my papa :)

35. I seriously think I could live off guacamole. I've been known to eat it all by itself lol

36. My mom got me a dalmation when I was 2, her name was Kia. She was the best dog ever, she slept with me EVERY single night. We had to put her to sleep when I was 16 and I still think about her all the time.

37. I really, really, REALLY want to go to Disney World...SOON!

38. I don't act my age (refer to #37) nor do I look my age, I'm sure people think my husband is a pedophile lol

39. Since I have moved I've found out who my real friends are.

40. As much as I miss home and DEF my family, it's nice to get away from all the other fake people and make a new start.

41. This city is way too big for me. I just wanna go back to my little one stop light town.

42. Some people probably think I'm crazy for loving Baker so much, but that will always be my home.

43. Everyone my age, especially in the military has a kid(s) or is pregnant. (not that thats a bad thing:) which makes it hard to find a friend without children. Especially since we don't want kids for a long while lol Its great for some people, kids are awesome...but right now I love my life the way it is. I don't see any rush, and theres plenty of time to have kids. I want to spend as much time with my husband as I can with it just being us two. That being said, I'm not trying to offend anyone who has kids. Like I said they are awesome and we can't wait to have one, just not now.

44. I wish I knew where I was going to be in 5 years from now.

45. I wish I would have done better in school so I could get a scholarship.

46. I wish I was sleeping right now since its almost 1:30.

47. I don't want to turn 21..I know that sounds weird lol but I feel like life is going by way too fast. It needs to slow down.

48. I am 20 years old and I'm still scared to walk in the house with the lights off.

49. I love the fact that when me and Tylor wake up a lot of the time we are holding hands (ok I won't put anymore mushy stuff in here lol)

50. Meeting new friends is hard for me, because I am shy. But that changes once I get to know someone.

I do believe that is enough for now. lol

Where to start...

I want to try out this whole blogging thing...but have NO idea where to start. I am a very new military wife, got married in February but I just moved in with my husband in May so I feel even newer at this than I am. lol I moved from Florida to Washington, I miss my family SO much! I knew I would miss them of course, but I didn't realize it would be this hard. Tylor has been awesome this whole time, he never gets aggravated when I'm really homesick...and trust me, it's been a lot! lol I'm doing better now though, the first 2 or 3 weeks were horrible though. Especially coming from an extremely close family. As soon as I got here I was automatically ready for Tylor to be stationed somewhere else, but the good ol military doesn't work like that so I gotta stick it out until they say we can live somewhere else. I still have my bad days where I really miss home but I have more good days than bad. I've met a few really nice people, I haven't been able to actually hang out though since I'm still waiting for my car to get shipped up here. Being at this house all day while Tylor is at work does make me a little stir crazy sometimes. Once I have my car it'll be better though. I can't wait to find a job here. I am going to try my hardest to find a job other than waitressing, but of course I'll take what I can get. I am also wanting to pick up on some college classes. I feel soooo behind now :/ I want to take a class on medical billing so I have a little more experience in working at a doctors office. Although I don't think I will ever have as much fun or have it as easy as I did back home It'll be hard to find another fun job like Azteca and working in my stepdads office. Me and Tylor have done quite a bit since being here, the second day we got here we made a 6 hour drive to pick up Jaeger..a little Norwegian Elkhound. I know its crazy and people probably think I am obsessed with my dog but I LOVE HIM! lol he has made being away from family sooo much easier! I don't know what I would do without him. Just last Saturday we rescued a kitten, we named him Miester. He wasn't very socialized but after just an hour of being at home he started coming out of his shell. Jaeger loves him, always following him around and grooming him. Tylor and I have also started working out together...he puts me to shame but I am still pretty proud of myself lol hopefully I can stick with it. Working out is such an easy habit to get into, but if you miss a few days its just as easy to get out of the habit of going. I need to find a workout buddy...actually I just need to find FRIENDS! lol Well, thats some of the background over the last few months, hopefully I can actually keep up with the blogging :)
