Update!




Yes it has been quite some time since I have updated my blog. I have been working over 30 hours at work which has caused me and Brennan's schedule to completely over lap each other. It's been upsetting not having to spend some time together. So we decided I would decrease my schedule to just 20-25 hours. That way on the days off I can spend the day with Brennan. What's happened since the last time I blogged? Well my birthday was awesome! My momma sent me a package full of goodies and presents which was really nice! I got cards from Grandma Persing, Darla, & Grandma Rugg. Brennan took me out to dinner and shopping at this outside shopping center (like the Gateway) called Destin Commons, it's pretty at night cause it has a ton of palm trees and light and a pretty fountain! I loved it! Brennan started this program at work called Crav Magraw (spelling may be off) for the next month he is working Monday - Friday 6am -3pm doing self-dense techniques. It's nice only I have to ride my bike to work, he can still pick me up at night and after work but I guess I'm just lazy. It's a nice forced work out though. Mark and Darla come this weekend. We're excited. I bought a carpet steamer and finally put it to work yesterday and today. I'm so happy at how clean my carpet is, no more puppy pee! haha I never thought I would see the day I would be happy to have clean carpets. Friday- Wednesday I have off for Mark and Darla's Visit. They come in on Saturday, so I plan on cleaning the whole house Friday. We FINALLY GOT A RUG to cover that lovely popsicle stain Brennan left and a pretty frame for the wall. Charlie is good. He has his moments were he is good at goes to the bathroom on the pad and then there is times he just does it on the carpet to get attention and to be brat. He is our baby though! He loves stealing the spotlight in all my pictures I take of the house ahah!

Our new home and Puppy!







The movers finally came! We set up all our stuff that day. It was a days project and boy was I tired at the end of the day! That Saturday we drove to Raiford, located on the very far East of Florida. It was a 4-5 hour drive both ways, in which I drove. The reason why I drove is because Brennan come home from work Saturday at 6am and then we had to leave an hour later at 7, so by the time we came back he would only have 3 and half hours to sleep until he would head to work again. So I made sure he slept in the car. I hate driving. It reminded me how much of a pain it was getting to Florida. Anyways, we got our Charlie, he is an angel. Brennan and I find it odd though that he is very needy. He follows us around everywhere, has to sleep in bed with us, and he cries when we leave the room. It's so cute though when your laying with him he will rest his head on your neck or shoulder and sleep. I never thought a puppy could be this love able, he is constantly loving on us. We gonna go out to the movies on Saturday, we terrified the neighbors are gonna get mad at us cause of how loud Charlie will be. Wish us luck! I'm not feeling good right, first I thought it was allergies, but now after last night, I think it's a really bad cold!. I can't breath through my nose, I have an ichy feeling in the back of my throat and nose and I have really bad head congestion, it's like a headache! Oh not to mention Charlie wakes up two times a night to go to the bathroom. He's a good one though!

Puppies and Potato soup!

Brennan just started his 9 pm to 6 am work schedule. He sleeps until about 3 pm which gives me the day to clean, go to work, and/or shopping. I don't like sleeping alone at night it's scary! Which brings me to our new news! We're getting a puppy! A little beagle named Charlie! We will having him about the 15th of August! we are so excited! Brennan needs a companion to run with him and be active cause heaven knows I wont haha! And I just wont to smoosh him cause he's so cute. I was a little bit worried that since we're in an apartment it would be difficult for Charlie to be active, but since I work in the day (part time) and he works at night, there will always be someone with him. Next Saturday we take a 4 and half hour drive to a city called Raiford were a family runs a beagle breading business. He will but up to date with check ups and shots and will only be 400 for him! I'm soo happy! We finally set up our cable! No more boring days of doing nothing! And on Monday our movers come! I can't wait to put everything together! Today I will try to master my mom's famous Potato Soup! Filled with ham, celery, potatoes, onions, bacon, and topped with shredded cheese and rolls! YUMMY wish me luck!!

Gross Update!

I just killed our very first cockroach! Lovely.

Work, work and more work!


That basically sums it up for what we have been doing the past week. I finally started working the cash register at my work and much to everyone's dismay, it's exactly the same method as Bed Bath and Beyond. From scanning to orders online. My supervisor is shocked that I know all this but hey that's a plus on there end. I just hope they don't take advantage of my knowledge and put me in retail. I hate to say this but about 60% of Best Buy Shoppers are jerks! I got nothing but rude customers yesterday. Brennan doesn't know but I'm gonna try and persuade him to let me quite right before holiday season so I can see my family...seriously what retail company is gonna let me go home for a week on THANKSGIVING WEEK....BLACK FRIDAY!!?? Yeah and after the holidays I will find another job....that probably looks bad on my resume. Oh well. I figure I pay off all my bills and loans till then. Anyways GOOD NEWS, Bren got our financials all situated and apparently our back pay for BAH & BAS for when we got married will be on this upcoming pay check and not only that but our reimbursements will go through too! Pretty big pay check, Brennan wants a puppy, but I say we figure out bills and loans first and see were we are after that. Oh Funny yet irritating story for ya...yesterday Brennan got a red otter pop out to eat and well apparently the Otter Pop got too cold for him (imagine that an otter pop!) so he put it down on our bed slightly up so it would spill. Well he forgot it was there and when came time for lunch he just right up. After eating, while washing dishes I noticed this huge red stain in the floor. Yeah let's just say Brennan now has to eat all popsicles in the kitchen. Sometimes I feel like I married a five year old lol a cute one though. He eats things off the floor so I guess I feel like I married a pet too...lol. Anyways we are now buying a big rug to put in our living to cover up the beautiful pink spot. FYI, the stain is a lot darker than it looks in the picture. Have a great week all!! Love, Lace and Brennan

Why men can fool their wives hehehe






Well I started my job last Saturday, it's a lot to pick up on, but I will get it soon. There are some things about it that frustrate me, like one you can never really find a manager around, your not sure who your supervisor is, they don't schedule a lunch for you, you just have to take it when you find coverage, and three they are taking forever to get me my employee ID so I'm hoping the hours I spent training shows up on my first check. It's frustrating, I have a feeling they are gonna put me up at Customer Service, they put everyone else at the cash registers but me, I hate customer service, but hey that's what I get for having Supervisor experience in retail. It's good money until I get a Dental Assisting job. Bren has been doing good, he has been continuing his training for his job. Yesterday we needed to cash a check and we couldn't cash it anywhere so we decided to open a savings account with Eglin Credit Union it's only 5 dollars to open a savings account so we though we mind as well while we were there. Brennan's Airman friends mastermind a stupid plan that back fired on them. They said that it's Military Appreciation week and that they get free pizza, so they told Me and Katie (one of the airman's wife) to stay home while they got get pizza and bring it back, which made no sense to me cause I could have sworn I heard one of them say it was for Military and Family. So we called the pizza place when they left and found out it's a pizza buffet and bar. So while they were having fun eating pizza and drinking beer, I had to stay with Katie and her one year old child who is cranky and crying cause his is teething! We were so made at the guys!! So we went to Wendy's and had no problem ordering us whatever we wanted, and BOY WAS I HUNGRY. Bren claims he didn't know, he though it was a pizza joint for family too. Brennan knows I have a good way of putting things together and finding out the truth, but I believe Bren, he is always asking his guy friends if I can come along. Bren's two friends thought we wouldn't know what they were doing but we caught them 2 minutes after they left hahaha! Never underestimate a girl, especially if she's your wife! Oh and funny thing, it really made me crack up laughing, we called the guys told them that we were heading to Wendys and they said that was fine, so when they came home last night THEY BROUGH US A SLICE OF PIZZA! hahah like that was gonna make it better, we told them we were going to get something to eat. I couldn't be mad, this was just to funny of a story to get mad at them at. I told the guys if they wanted a guy night to just tell me, I wouldn't care, but I guess they didn't cause Katie would have been mad. I'm not her! Brennan said that next time he is bringing me, cause I'm fun to hang around, I know how to act like one of the guys. Well when you grow up with five brothers what else do you expect. We went to beach last Friday, pretty huh!? It's better to go towards the end of the day, it's cool, the water is warm, PERFECTION!

Sunrise not Sunset!

My error it was sunrise not sunset. : )

I got a new job!



Finally after a week and a half of searching haha I got a job! I will be cashiering for Best Buy getting 11 dollars and hour and working part time. I was hoping to be getting a dental assisting job but since there is no dental offices near by and I don't have a car, I will have to wait on that. Bren want's to get me a motor scooter so maybe I will search after that is if I get that. This is Brennan's last day in FTAK, he got all his financial stuff taking care of, now it's just a matter of when it will go through, these things can take a while. Least I have my job to back us up. Best Buy is kinda far from here but not to far to ride a bike. Brennan thinks I will start complaining after the first time I ride there, he thinks I will start wanting that car. Haha! Which is probably true, knowing me I will hate it after the first try, but I can't hate it, we have no choice my job is closer to the house and on a plus side this could be considered a work out. Right? Except I did tell Brennan when it rains he has to let me have the car. There is no way I am riding a bike in the rain....cause in Florida it's not rain without thunder. I've noticed that a lot here. AND TRUST ME WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS HERE!. I will post a pic of when it rained a couple of weeks ago. Oh last Wednesday I dropped Brennan off at work and on my way home to Destin I saw the most BEAUTIFUL sunset! Luckily I had my phone to snap a pic. The drive to Destin is so beautiful! We are just surrounded by white sand the ocean! I love it! I sure do miss home though. I love and miss you all! I will keep in touch! I start work tomorrow and I'll let ya know how it goes! xoxo

August 10!


Yay! We finally get our stuff! They pick up our stuff July 28 and from what the document said it will be here August 10, Brennan thinks it will be here sooner, I hope so. Today Brennan started FTAC (Bren corrected me). It means something but I don't get the military and there abbreviations. Hopefully our financial stuff gets taken care of soon! It's depressing being poor lol. I want to shop!!! I just can't wait to get our furniture!! I hate air mattresses. I had a dream last night this really nasty yellowish spider was on me and he looked about 2 inches wide 2 inches long! I tried to find a picture of what it looked like and this is the closest I got! Whenever I have dreams that I can remember I also try and look up there meanings. www.dreammoods.com or www.dreamforth.com are the websites I try. I looked up spiders in the dream dictionary and apparently it means I feel like an outsider, it also means powerful women or something. I agree with the outsider thing. I'm still having a hard time finding a job. I need a job close by, that I can ride a bike to. Bren and I were thinking once we have more money I can get a cheep moter scooter and that will give me somewhere farther to search. Fingers crossed I find something close! Last night Bren and I watched "Revolutionary Road" it stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, IT WAS AN AWESOME MOVIE. It's so sad, but very good, everyone should see it! Anyway I'm gonna clean up this house. We got new carpet when we moved in but now it starts to make little carpet balls but that's common with new carpet from what Bren says. We don't have a vacuum which sucks, but this weekend Bren tried sweeping it into the kitchen and it actually worked! all the little fuzzy balls got off the carpet easily with the broom. When my family lived in a basement home our vacuum broke and we would have to use the broom to sweep up the carpet floor...haha I guess I just had to think back to our old cleaning skills lol.

From Brennan

Hello, this is my first blog entry... ever. and probably my last. I will begin this by telling you about my day. it began at 630 this morning while i gracefully rolled out of bed trying not to get light heading standing up from that extremely uncomfortable air mattress. i began with putting my socks on, one foot at a time, then moving towards the pants. after that i put on my shirt, bloused my pants and put on my boots (which gave a blister today. stupid boots). After i got completely ready for work i head out to the base and blah blah blah I had a very boring day but a great lunch. much love to taco bell :). Right now we are figuring out what to do. I was thinking the beach, Lacey was thinking about walking around a craft store for five hours. Tough decision. Alright I'm done writing, i gotta dominate the toilet.

Nothing New....


Brennan started training today, he will do that for the rest of the week, then starting Monday he does what's called FTECH (not sure how it's spelled) meaning he does his in-processing. That will go on for a week then he goes back to training for another month. During his in-processing he will get his financial stuff taking care of like his BAH, pay, travel reimbursements and I'm hoping we see the money soon cause we can barely make rent with just his pay check which leaves us penny-less for bills and food :/ Man the military sure promises you a lot of stuff and then they take forever to show that they stick to there word! It's stressful! I have been going around to shops and stores that are walking distance to our apartment to see if I can get something part-time until all are finances are caught up. Too bad there isn't a dental office near by, I sure would love to start dental assisting. It's hard cause Bren and I wont know his actual hours till after his month worth of training so I'm not sure on what hours I can work. One car! Brennan got the crap beat out of him today during asp/baton training. Two of his trainers get to wear padded clothing and hit Brennan while he uses a padded asp and try and block them away. He ended up with a major headache and his eye hurt from being punched in the head. But apparently some Airman have had it worse. Today I didn't do much. There is this decoration shop called Kirklands and Old Time Pottery, I swear keep me in there for more than 15 minutes and I will have the whole store in my shopping cart! I bought a coupon divider and this huge picture frame! I get so home sick! Bren said we will probably be here for 3 years! :'''( I can't be away from my mom that long! This is a picture Bren took with his laptop tonight. Notice the zit on my face....that's an emotional zit cause I miss my family! lol

First Post Yay!

Greetings from Destin, Florida! It's been a week now since we have been here and it's been a roller coaster! There is still so much Brennan needs to do to make sure all of our financial stuff gets taken care of. I'm trying my hardest to not yell at the rude people in the finance office on base. Lately nothing has happened with us, Brennan is on temporary leave for 8 days to find an apartment, which we have had for 5 days now, but his supervisor told him just to come back on the last day! SWEET! It's hard being in an unfurnished house and we most likely wont get our furniture for another month. It's a pain yes, but I convinced him we needed bar stools now cause we can sit of the floor for a month until our dining room table and chairs come. I can't wait to decorate it's killing me! We found out that a couple of Brennan's friends from boot camp and tech school got stationed here in Eglin as well and they all have wives! Two I have met so far and are really nice. The beach here is beautiful!!! I was telling my mom about these beautiful oat looking plants that just wave in the breeze and they are right on the ocean. She told me they are called Sea Oats or something like that and they are endangered....which explains why they are blocked off and no one and get in..oh and not to mention there is a sign that say "Keep Off Endangered Species". I will keep in touch and post as much as I can!
