New Blog Posts Every Tuesday!

Hi my name is Jessica, and my husband Cameron is an active duty sailor in the United States Navy. He is also currently deployed and will be home sometime in the summer of 2015. My blog title comes from my extreme reluctance in becoming a navy wife in the first place, and my desire to not be traditional in any sense of the word. Follow along if you enjoy the unconventional, crazy, and the whacky and appreciate never being what you don't want to be :)

OMG IT'S A POST!!!!

Why hello there! So it has been FORFREAKINGEVER since I made a post on here, but my life has been insanely busy for the past couple months soooo I guess let's update on that :)

I guess the biggest thing is that I got married!!! :D On July 8th, 2014 Cameron and I got married and it was absolutely the best day of my life, although it was incredibly stressful getting to that point. We planned an entire wedding in about three months and it was just crazy getting everything done! But somehow we managed to get everything done and paid for on time(paying for everything was my other great adventure with that whole thing), and we had an incredible wedding :) It was pretty small(about 40-45 people in all), but truthfully even if we'd had more time or funds I don't know that our wedding would have been much bigger. We did a simple black and white theme and my aunt and uncle (who have a recently renovated 100 year old farm house and a good amount of space) were very gracious and hosted our wedding which was wonderful and we were so grateful for that :)

After the wedding, I went to San Diego and spent a month down there with Cameron which was awesome! I haven't had an opportunity to spend that much with Cameron since he went away to basic training in basically June of last year so having the opportunity to do this was wonderful for both us and our relationship(Side note: I'm pretty sure that it was actually technically one of the very last days of May 2013 when Cameron left, but yeah, we'll just call it June cuz why not haha) We had this adorable little rental house that was fully furnished, and it was in a wonderful part of town :) We stayed up in La Jolla which was nice since we weren't in the middle of downtown San Diego so it was a much slower pace which was wonderful :) We had the opportunity to go to a farmer's market every Sunday, as well as going to the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Downtown San Diego, and we also had the opportunity to go to Disneyland and California Adventure which is somewhere that I had never been and had always really wanted to go so that was very special :)

So, you may be wondering why I'm not still in San Diego and why I went home to Seattle. Well, sadly, on August 22nd, 2014 Cameron left on deployment and is scheduled to be gone out to sea for ten months which for an aircraft carrier means we're looking at at least twelve to thirteen months before he comes back into port :( So yeah, I've been quite sad about that, but that's why I'm no longer in San Diego :/ In the mean time, I'm still working on my schooling and working and just waiting til my sweetie comes home. I'm thinking that for now that's all I'm going to post, but I'll put some other posts up about some of the things I just mentioned soon!
