Dog vs. Leather

I bought my new car without thinking about my dog. My car has leather seats and my dog has nails. Not a good combination. I put a fitted sheet over the back seat and although it did work it was a pain in the ass and looked ridiculous. Plus, when I pulled in the driveway and got out of my car my dog jumped over the seat and came out my door leaving a little rub mark on my seat. I almost strangled him.

Has anyone run into this? What did you do? My husband suggested putting the back seats down and letting him lay on that but I am afraid he will crawl around in the trunk and idk how safe that is.

Your advice and wisdom would be awesome!

Thanks!

Oh no! but Oh yea!!

I don't know how many of you are football fans but in our house football season is the 5th and best season of our year. Pre-season starts this weekend!!! Sooooo excited. Wondering where the oh no comes in? Well unfortunately my husband and I cheer for different teams. I am a Giants fan and he likes the Cowboys. Thankfully there could be worse teams for him to like but it's still a sore subject for us haha.

Needless to say, it's about to get very interesting in the Syke's household.

Loner?

I have the worst communication skills ever. I never keep in contact with people. I don't know if it's because  no one I've met is worth keeping in contact with or if I just really like being by myself a lot. I think it's a little of both. There are a select few that I really love hanging out with but I still don't talk or make plans as often as I should. It's just not me. I go all day just enjoying my time and by the time I realize that I could have called so and so and done something it's like 7 pm.

I thought at first that I was a loner. I love spending time with other people as long as they are people I get along with so maybe it's not that I am a loner. I can't really explain it though. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I come from a small town where there is hardly ever anything to do so I am so used to not doing anything? I have NO IDEA!!

The one good thing I get out of this is that I really learn who my friends are. The people who I can talk to and just pick up wherever we left off like the last time we talked was yesterday are who I really appreciate. They don't hold this against me and understand that I even stop talking to my family for periods of time just because it never crosses my mind until weeks go by.

Does this happen to anyone else or am I just extremely weird?

I've got my new car!!!

FINALLY!!! My husband and I went to the dealership today and came home with a new car!! I got a 2007 Nissan Sentra. It has pretty leather interior that is like peanut butter colored. Seriously it is. It's really pretty. I am soooo in love. Here is a pic. I'll tell more once I've driven it around and see how much I really love it.

This will make you giggle.

Vampire's Suck.  It's the name of this new movie. I guess it's one of those spoof movies but regardless, the trailer made me laugh.


Enjoy<3

Going home?

So my husband is leaving in just over a week and will be gone for 2+ weeks. Sooooo, I am going home!! Or at least I am going to try to lol. We are working on getting my new car sometime this week or next week. If we find something we like then we're going to get it and I will be on my way home soon! I am so excited!!! I haven't been home in 7 months and there is so much I miss. I miss my mom and my grandma and my brothers and sisters. I miss my dad and my step mom and my step brothers. I miss my nana too. I need to go to Sport Island and Romana's. And I really need to go to Wemple and Edick's. So many people to see and places to go.

I can't wait to get home!! :-)

Hellooooo August :-)

I can't believe it's August already! Where does the time go? This time last year I was in Burlington Vermont and having a blast. Now I am in North Carolina with my amazing husband. Life is quite the ride.

I know I have been quite the complainer lately but today I realized something. It's all worth it. I woke up this morning and looked at my husband and just felt extremely lucky and happy to have him with me. No matter where we live or where either of us are it will always be worth it because we have each other. So yea, we would love to be out in San Diego but for now North Carolina is just fine. I will probably be moving home next year anyways because he will be deploying for a year.

I always thought it was strange that wives moved back home when their husbands deploy. Then I realized he would be gone for a year and we would have a brand new baby and I would be all alone. If he was leaving for 6 months I would tough it out but I am taking advantage of this to be home with my family and his family and getting all of the help and love I will need. We're really lucky that we only lived a couple minutes from each other back home. Makes for easy holidays haha.

Anyways, it's breakfast time and our neighbors are making us a huge feast. Can't wait!!

P.S. Happy 20th Birthday to Anna Banana over at Showtimes and Dog Tags<3 Go wish her a good one!
