Day 22: What's in your purse?
Mom's (and some Dad's!) everywhere will get me when I say "what purse?" I haven't carried one since Braxton was born. My purse in now a diaper bag! So, I will tell what is in it...
Diapers
Wipes
Powder
Diaper rash cream
Changing pad
Toys
An extra outfit
Formula/Solid food and spoons, with extra!
Cheerios...in and out of their proper receptacle. Those things spread like wildfire.
Sunscreen
Alcohol wipes
Nail clippers
Then there is my crap. Wallet. Phone. My Kobo. Personal items. That's it.
This is my most boring post ever....
Night, ya'll!

Day 20 & 21 of the 30-Day Blog Challenge...
I keep getting a little behind on this thing. I didn't have the computer yesterday and refused to do it from my phone...so deal with it:)
Day 20: Nicknames
I don't know if Becky/Beck is considered a nickname, since they are just short for my actual name Rebecca, but I'm called one of those two by most people that know me. My Uncle used to call me Scooter when I was little (I think...). My favorite nickname is Becka Lou. A past co-worker started calling me that one day about 5 years ago and it just stuck, and also spread!
While Beck...or Becky...or Rebecca if I'm in trouble, is my name, I tried changing it once. When my parents registered me for school they asked what name I would like to go by (for kids with names like Michael, who might go by Mike...Jennifer who might go by Jen...you get it). I was still called Rebecca at that time, but I guess my mom wanted to know if I'd like to go by maybe Becky or Becca in school. I thought for a moment, and responded with...Kimberly! I haven't managed to find a culture where Kimberly is short for Rebecca, so Becky it is.
Day 21: Favorite Picture of yourself ALL TIME Why?
I literally just spent an hour looking through all of the pictures I have on the computer. I can't really say any of them are my favorite of ALL TIME...but I really like this one...

Day 21: Favorite Picture of yourself ALL TIME Why?
I literally just spent an hour looking through all of the pictures I have on the computer. I can't really say any of them are my favorite of ALL TIME...but I really like this one...
This is a picture of my cousin, Jen, and myself. I have no idea when it was taken, or even where. My guess is maybe at our Grandparent's house? Not sure. But anyway, I like this one because I have a lot...A LOT of wonderful memories from when I was younger with my family. My family, on both sides, meant so much to me, and still do. Almost every single one of my fondest childhood memories involve times at either my Grandma and Grandpa's or Nana and Pop Pop's house, and this picture just reminds me of one of those times. Plus, we look ridiculously cute :)
I haven't given much of an update lately, so I'll take the time to do that now...
Yesterday, Matt found out that he is going to be deploying with the 24th MEU. Basically, he will be on a ship that goes out to sea with a few other ships. They go out to perform certain missions, and are kind of on a "on-call" status as well. If something were to go down, they would go wherever their assistance is needed. We don't know exactly where he'll go yet, or when. But he is going. We originally thought sometime this fall, but now we're thinking early next year, since they will be relieving the 22nd MEU and that is around when they are scheduled to return. Either way, we have time to prepare.
Andrew is doing well. Yesterday, he was supposed to start practice with the golf team we signed him up for, but their coach deployed. So now we're just waiting for them to find another one. He's really been looking forward to it, so it kind of sucks. But things happen, so hopefully they will find another coach soon. He hasn't really had much else going on. Just been busy with school and playing with his friends!
Braxton is also doing well. His 7th tooth came through this week, and we felt every bit of it! I'm so glad it finally pushed through. He was miserable! He's so mobile now. He's been doing this kind of inch worm army crawl thing for a little while now, but now he's crawling on all fours. He's doing great with standing himself up and walking along the couches and cruising. He wants to walk, I know he does. He just needs to get his balance down. He babbles non stop. He's definitely saying something, we just can't understand a word of it! He says a few words, though. He still says dog, he points to things and asks whats that...although it sounds more like "Whssat?", he says "All Done!", and he says Andrew! Its so funny to hear him "talk." He points his finger and shakes his fist and says all sorts of things that I'm sure make sense to him. He does so many funny things that are really hard to explain. I'm doing my best to catch them on camera for everyone to see.
As for me, nothing super new is going on. I've mentioned that I'm going back to school, hopefully this summer, and I'm so very excited about it. My "diet" (I still HATE calling it that!) is going great! I just started my 6th week (which is crazy!) today, and I've lost 16 pounds! I am so very happy about that and I'm really proud of myself. I'm starting to notice physical changes too, which is good. Its discouraging when you're working your butt of and don't actually see the changes, so I'm glad its becoming noticeable. All of my jeans are too big to wear, aside from 2 pairs that were too small before (hooray!), so its definitely starting to pay off. I am 7 pounds away from reaching my first goal. Just typing that made me smile :)
And because I just saw the video via Facebook and am super excited, I want to share that our niece, Eloyse, is walking!!! My heart swelled with happiness and pride when I watched it. My niece is walking!!! I can't stop smiling! :):):)
That's all I've got. See ya tomorrow :)
Love,
Kimberly errrr...I mean Beck...

Day 18 & 19 of the 30-Day Blog Challenge...
Day 18: Favorite Place to Eat
There's no way I can narrow this down to one place. I love food too much to pick just one, so I'll give you a short list of my favorites, in no particular order...
1. G & M in Linthicum Heights, MD. The best crab cakes ever. Period.
2. Niche Bei Kai in Columbia, MD. I love Hibachi and I LOVE Sushi...anywhere that serves up either of those well is good by me.
3. I don't know if this place is even around anymore, but Darryl's in Richmond, VA. They had the best ribs I've ever had (aside from my Grandpa's!), and the ambiance was a lot of fun.
4. Lulu's in Gulf Shores, AL. Its a restaurant owned by Lucy Buffett, Jimmy Buffett's sister. She offers a lot of southern-inspired dishes that are delicious, as well as a great atmosphere.
5. The Prime Rib in Baltimore. My stomach literally just growled at the thought. So. So. Good. Very pricey, though, so its not something we get to experience often. This is saved for special occasions.
6. P.F. Changs. I tried keeping the chains off this list, but their Mongolian Beef is out-of-this-world good.
7. Five Guys Burger and Fries. Great burgers and delicious fries. Nice and simple.
I could sit here all night and think of other places I love to eat, but, I don't want to, so I'll stop for now. Plus, its making me crazy hungry.
Day 19: Something you miss
This one is easy. My Family and Friends! We've been living away from home for almost 4 years now (which is crazy! I feel like we just left!) and it definitely gets hard sometimes. Matt and I are both very close with our families, so we miss being around them like we used to. We feel like we miss out on a lot, and that can definitely suck. My Grandma had a heart attack last year, and I hated not being able to be there. Matt's Pop Pop had a stroke a few months back and is currently at a rehab center, and we would love nothing more than to be able to go and see him. Matt's Step-Mom (I really hate to use the term "step" or "in-law" or "half"...I'm just using it in this case to derail any confusion!) had back surgery over the holidays and we would've loved to have been able to help her out. Our niece's Eloyse and Alexa are getting so big and beautiful and it sucks only being able to see the majority of it all through pictures. My God-Daughter Chloe has turned into this beautiful girl in what seems like overnight, and I wish I could see her more. And just being able to stop over any of our parents' house for dinner, or just a chat. I miss all of the little things...mainly because once you can't have them anymore, you realize just how big they really are!
Having said all that, I wouldn't trade our life for anything. We've met some wonderful people along the way and would not have had the chance to had we not chosen this life. We've gotten the opportunity to experience different regions of the country, and will only get the chance to see more. If being away from our friends and family has brought anything positive, its that its brought us closer. When the people you've got to rely on daily are the only ones around you, you learn to appreciate them so much more. Being away has also made me stronger. A lot stronger. If you would have asked me 5 years ago if I would be able to handle being hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of miles away from my family raising 2 kids, all while juggling deployments, training, and times when Matt just can't be here, not to mention adding a full-time school schedule into the mix (am I nuts???) I would have told you 100% absolutely no way. And I wouldn't have been lying. I really don't think I could've done it back then. I think all of us, military wives in particular, have moments of "I can't do this." I know I've had them, more than a couple times. But then I look around. I look at what we've accomplished and into the faces of my two boys and realize I HAVE to do this. I WANT to do this Are there times when maybe I DON'T want to? I would be a liar if I told you no. But I would be one miserable cuss if I didn't. This life...its not glamorous. Its stressful and its not easy. The money is horrible, and there are times when we really struggle to get by. But, I wouldn't give it up for the world.
I also really miss steamed crabs...
Love you all,
Beck :)

Day 17 of the 30-Day Blog Challenge...
Day 17: Something you're looking forward to
Well, the first thing that comes to mind is starting school! I submitted my application today and have started the process of obtaining my high school and previous college transcripts. I'm hoping to start the Summer Semester. I'm going to start at the local community college here. Its so much cheaper that way, and if all goes as planned, I'll still end up with the same degree if I started off at the 4-year college I'll transfer to anyway. So the way I see it, I'm smart :) I'm really kicking myself for not finishing what I started when I first began college. I would have sooo been done by now! Oh well...better late than never!
I'm also looking forward to Braxton's 1st Birthday! Invitations will be in the mail soon. We were originally going to drive home for his party, but his cousin's 1st Birthday party is the weekend before. We'll be driving up for that, and its just too much to go home twice back-to-back. If people can make it down, great. If not, well then they can't. I would like to think anyone who is able to would make the trip, but we shall see. Your kids only turn 1 once, so of course its incredibly important to us and we want everyone to share his special day with us. Plus, you get to spend a weekend in the warm sunshine by the beach with the cutest baby ever. Yes, that is me officially calling every one of you out! :)
I'm also looking forward to warmer weather! I'm not sure I've ever said that, since I love cool, fall temperatures. I guess Florida got to me. It was in the mid 80's here the other day, and I'm itching to get to the beach! Matt found a ton of places that sell crabs down here. Warm weather + steamed crabs + beer = perfection. I. Can't. Wait.
Have a great weekend!

Day 16 of the 30-Day Blog Challenge
Day 16: Dream House
I almost forgot about this today!
My dream house...hmmm, well for one, my dream house would be one that is mine! Owning a home is definitely a goal of ours (guess I should've added that to the Goals day...). I feel like its something that is pretty far off, but hopefully one day we will be able to make it a reality.
As far as the physical aspects...
I want a home somewhere that is within driving distance to the beach, but is in a mountainous area also. Somewhere rural, yet easy access to the things I need. Somewhere secluded. It doesn't need to be a mansion. The bigger the house, the more I have to clean, furnish, and heat/cool. I want a rustic, cozy, country style home. Maybe something like a log cabin? Something with a big backyard for the boys to play in. I want an insane bathroom. I want one of those showers with like 10 different shower heads, and a BIG bath tub. I want a big kitchen with lots of counter space, with one of those things in the middle that pots and pans hang from. I also want hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and a big fireplace in the living room and also the bedroom. I want a sitting area in the bedroom where I can read, write, or just relax. It has to be beautifully landscaped, with a big rose garden in memory of my Pop Pop, who had the most beautiful roses ever.
I could sit here and add details all night, but I'm getting sleepy, so I'll leave it here for now. Hope you all have a wonderful night!
Love,
Beck

Day 15 of the 30-Day Blog Challenge...
Day 15: Bible verse
Philippians 4:13
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
I have a few verses that I really like, but this one sticks out right now. I'm planning on going back to school this summer or fall to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in English with a minor in Journalism. The thought scares me. No, it terrifies me. Its been almost 10 years since I've been in school and that makes me worry that I won't be able to do it. But, when I think to this verse, it gives me strength and comfort in knowing I can do this. It won't be easy, but the strength I have in myself through Him will help me succeed.
As scary as it is, I am really, REALLY excited about it!!! :)

Day 12, 13, and 14 of the 30-Day Blog Challenge...
I'm combining the remaining days I need to catch up on into 1 post...
Day 12: Something you don't leave the house without
9 times out of 10, Braxton. But aside from him, I never leave the house without my wallet, and I try my best to not leave without my phone. If I have the kids with me then I always have my phone.
Day 13: Goals
To provide the best life possible for my kids and to be happy are my 2 biggest and ones that will never go away. But some more specific ones are...
To lose 10% of my starting weight. I'm not too far off! There will be more goals once I reach this one as far as weight loss goes. I'm just setting small, less overwhelming ones.
To be able to run a 5K by the end of this year.
To start saving money!!! This is definitely the hardest one!
I could go on all day about things I want to obtain, but I'll leave off here for now!
Day 14: A picture of you last year - how have you changed?
This is a picture of me last year, obviously very pregnant with Braxton. Aside from how I've physically changed (absolutely EVERYTHING was swollen in this picture, and I'm happy to say I am 44 lbs lighter lol), I've changed in other ways as well. I'm much more patient and have a lot more confidence in myself and my decisions. When I had Andrew, I had A LOT of help, and had no idea what it was like to have a baby totally on my own (or OUR own, I should say). Having Braxton with absolutely no one around to help us was really beneficial. It helped us realize that yes, we CAN do this on our own and do a good job of it. Its kind of the same thing when Matt deployed and I chose not to go back home. I proved to myself that I can handle things by myself and am strong enough to get through it. Braxton is turning out to be one hell of a kid, so I'd say we're doing a great job!
Ok, I think I'm caught up. For those of you that don't know, my Uncle Jack passed away last Thursday. My Dad flew into town Friday afternoon, and he, myself, and the boys drove up to MD Sunday morning, got into town in time for the viewing Sunday night, went to the funeral Monday morning, and drove him Monday afternoon. It was a busy few days, but I'm glad I was able to make the trip. I didn't have time to make my usual rounds to see everyone, which is why I didn't make a big announcement that I would be home. I knew I would be in town less than 24 hours and that it would be impossible to do so.
The funeral was nice, as far as funerals go I guess? Naturally it was sad, but I have a lot of comfort in knowing where he is now. He was a wonderful man. He was also incredibly funny, and sweet. He and my Aunt used to own a bakery in Ellicott City and they had the best cheese bread. My Nana ALWAYS had some in the house. I know she was there to welcome him with open arms when he passed. I hope he gave her the kiss I asked him to pass along! :)
I got to meet some family that I've never met before, and others that I haven't seen in years. I met my Uncle Jack's grandchildren, which was cool. They are my Dad's cousin's children, so I'm trying to figure out how they are related to Braxton and Andrew. I think they are 2nd cousins once removed. Braxton and Andrew's Great-Great-Grandmother is their Great-Grandmother, so yeah... I think that's right. I'm actually in the process of doing some ancestry research. My Dad was able to trace my Nana's (his mother's) family tree back to the 1600's in Germany. I don't know much about my Pop Pop's side, and the most I know about my mom's side are my Great-Great Grandparents on her mother's side came to this country from Germany. My Grandma has a bunch of information for me, so I'm excited to learn more.
That's it for today. It is far too nice out to be inside sitting in front of a computer, so I think Braxton and I will take full advantage! Hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
Love,
Beck

I don't know much about my Pop Pop's side, and the most I know about my mom's side are my Great-Great Grandparents on her mother's side came to this country from Germany. My Grandma has a bunch of information for me, so I'm excited to learn more.
That's it for today. It is far too nice out to be inside sitting in front of a computer, so I think Braxton and I will take full advantage! Hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
Love,
Beck
