Rewind, Stop, Play

So I was supposed to start this blog forever ago, and never got around to it, but now that I have so much time on my hands and was checkin out everyone else's cute blogs I decided it was time to really start one for me and Lance! Almost everything we write on here will be from me, but I'm sure Lance will throw in his say every once in a while.

For our first blog I decided I would just share a little bit about what me and Lance have been up to.
Lance and I met in 2008 and had so many fun and interesting times together before he enlisted in the United States Navy in January of 2010. He was in bootcamp until March and then in "A" school until June. This was the longest me and him had been apart and out of communication since we had began to talk. After these long months Lance was stationed here in San Diego and has been here ever since. We've survived the distance with text, phone calls, email, skype, and weekend visits back and forth. When we got married in January 2011 we decided I would stay in Arizona and finish my schooling in Cosmetology while everything was being set up and processed in the military as me being his wife. Well, I finally finished my cosmo hours in May and have been able to finally move here to California with him and actually live our married lives together! Now that I'm here we've been getting our house together, taking drives to check out different places, going shopping, seeing movies, making meals, and enjoying our time together. We've even had a few visitors which we both enjoy, but I really enjoy because I'm just at home during the day while Lance is at work until I get my license and can get a job working in the salon. Being married and finally being able to be with Lance has been so fun. I still wake up and go to sleep so excited and feeling so blessed that I have Lance in my life and that we get to spend the rest of our lives together.

One thing that we've had to learn and do as a newlyweds is buy a couch, TV, kitchen supplies and groceries for our house, and boy have me and Lance had quite the adventure doing it! When we went to buy our couch we walked around and sat on just about every single couch to check it out and make sure we got the one that was most comfy, but still cute. And as for grocery shopping.. I don't think I have ever seen receipts that are so long! I even saved them to document it!


and then here's our couch!

I'm actually someone who likes to decorate with black furniture rather than brown, but there was only two black couches and they were both leather and literally felt like we were sitting in chairs that are supposed to help with your posture..if thats even a real thing.

As for the the update and in closing, here is a few pictures of me and Lance together over the past couple years
(in no particular order)

















Xoxo, Jeneale and Lance
