Sorry I haven't posted in a while... Here's the update

Ok.... I know that I haven't posted in a while and its because I was in Graeagle, CA and had no internet connection. Now I am in Nevada and chillaxing and having a very relaxing time. Trying to raise money to get back to Arizona by Friday because it's a busy day. Gotta take my little brother down to the recruiting office so that he can enlist in the Army. Go Nick you are awesome and going to love the Army. I can't believe he's following my footsteps. Only he wants to be a ranger which will be awesome cause now when i use my combatives training on him he can fight back. This will be so much fun...

Ok what else... Oh, so, I've been having really bad stomach pains for the past couple days and Luke has been worrying because he thinks i need to have my appendix removed... Psssh... what does he know... even though his dad is a doctor and he in an EMT.... But I don't want to go to the hospital... and my appendix is fine where it is. I keep telling him that even though the pain is on my complete lower left quadrant that it is not rebounding on the right side and I am able to walk upright now so obviously I'm getting better and i won't have to get my appendix removed. But of course he is worried about my appendix rupturing and poisonous bodily fluids invading my abdominal cavity but still. I'm getting better. So obviously i just pulled a muscle or something and am going to be fine... Another thing is that HELLO I was in the Army. We don't go to hospitals. We rub dirt in it, drink some water and drive on. (although for about a day it hurt said lower left quadrant to drink of consume any kind of liquid or nourishment...)

Other than that there is nothing else to report. Luke and I have not fought since I got here. He's been working at his brother's bar to raise money for our fabulously long drive home. Still no exact date on WHEN we will be back but I'm hoping it's soon cause I'm starting to get bored here. Not knowing anyone or where anything is.... It will be nice to go home and be able to see my family and hang out with my friends in the Gilbert area as well as introduce them to luke so that we all can hang out. It will be so much fun...

I'll let you guys know when we will be home as soon as I do. Enjoy the rest of your evenings... :-)

Today was... Interesting

Today was a very interesting day to say the least. I woke up in pain, as usual lately. I gathered my things from around my mother's house. I swam with my brother. Then I went and picked up my mom from work. I headed down to the Gilbert house at about 8pm and started packing. Now, here's where it gets interesting, the whole entire reason i NEEDED to go to the gilbert house was for Connor's car seat. I went down there packed all my baggage for the NV trip, I also got some of Connor's belongings, BUT I forgot the car seat. Oh yes, I, Stephanie P. Albrecht, Forgot the one thing I really needed to get from the Gilbert house. So, now, I will have to wake up in about 5 hours to take my aunt to school, run back down to the gilbert house to get the car seat, stop at Walmart to pick up some last minute travel needs, come back to Phoenix to get my nails done. Then, I have to go pick up my aunt up from school when she is done, take her home, go buy oil for the van and fill the gas take and finally start the 1.5-2 hour drive to prescott. But it is ok, because I will be getting to Prescott early to enjoy a simple lunch with some friends before picking connor up at 4pm and heading back down to Phoenix. Boy, I really have a busy day tomorrow. Such is the life of a single mother and former soldier. I guess that is something that the Army imbedded into my brain... HURRY UP! and wait... HURRY UP!! and wait... HURRY UP!!! and wait... (for those of you that have seen the power thirst youtube videos, there you go. For those of you who haven't, I find it quite funny.) Oh man, I had chilly cheese dogs for dinner and although it was VERY delicious, it is coming back to destroy me via heart burn. I have only had heart burn once before in my life and that was when my ego was prego with my son... WOW I forgot how badly it hurts and guess who has two thumbs and NO tums.... THIS CHICK! Oh yes... this has to be some sort of torture either in some third world country or in one of the circles of hell because THIS IS SOOOOOOOO PAINFUL! Now I know what Luke goes through on a daily basis... poor thing... I'll have to bring some prilosec and tums for him... even though it is MY birthday.... I guess i'm just a loving girlfriend like that...

Ok, I am exhausted. I really am. It is shocking considering that I haven't been tired all week. But tonight (or this morning. However you want to look at it.) I am actually, genuinely tired. I think that i will  adjourn for the night... Iron Chef is on so i think i will fall asleep to the sound of food cooking. Should make for some interesting dreams. Goodnight, Cyber Space. Parting is such sweet sorrow. But sleep is much needed.
