Apparently Mother Nature is celebrating 4/20 by getting high and making it snow. I can’t wait for California sun. - - - - - - - #elsagohomeyouredrunk #snow #snowfall #illinois #aprilsnow #aprilsnowshowers #readyforsun https://www.instagram.com/p/CN5PbVBB-Uh/?igshid=no2drb0eahif

Jeremy and I finished our second puzzle tonight. This one was hard and took us over a week to finish it. I love having fun hobbies to do with him. - - - - - - - - #milso #marinewife #marinewifelife #militarywife #iputtheooinhisoorah #militaryspouse #recruiterwifelife #recruiterwife #usmcrecruiterwife #games #puzzle #puzzlelover #housewifelife #modernhousewife #happyhomemaker #domesticgoddesinthemaking #ladyofthehouse https://www.instagram.com/p/CN3zu-Whz_-/?igshid=86btufwetbg8

I’m going to miss nights like these with our Illinois friends. Nights filled with laughter, food, and games. We’ve met some good people down here that have made this duty a bit easier. - - - - - - - - - - #friends #makingmemories #gamenight #fun #illinois #recruiterwifelife #recruiterwife #usmcrecruiterwife #milso #marinewife #marinewifelife #militarywife #iputtheooinhisoorah #militaryspouse #fire #firepit #friendships #friendsforlife (at Urbana, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNz-c73hMJK/?igshid=q0xstaux5i83

Does anyone else forget they hate certain food textures? I was so excited for this sticky rice ball because it was filled strawberries and Japanese whipped cream like sandwiches I use to get from 7-11 in Japan. Half way through taking my first bite I remember I can’t stand the texture of mochi. The insides were delicious but I couldn’t eat the mochi.

Does anyone else take their pet to jewelry stores to pick out their own jewelry? We took Katniss to @rogersandhollands where she picked out a pearl bracelet. The staff there was amazing. They treated Katniss like a valued customer. This is her second jewelry purchase from Rogers & Holland. - - - - - - - - #calico #japanesebobcat #petsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #catgram #nekosgram #meow #katnisseverpurr #furbaby #manekineko #thelivingmanekineko #neko #kitten #kitty #cat #😻 #cute #love #jewelry #shopping #kittiesandjewels #catswhoshop #jewelryaddict (at Market Place Shopping Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvpPqRhVEg/?igshid=dc0g0ya19gq5

Never fails. When you’re running late, the train will always make you run even later. Thankfully @puppyjohnpauljones was able to get to daycare on time despite the delays. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNu2cG8BWiU/?igshid=1oypzi10m22oe

Part two of my brunch date with Jeremy- drinks from @teamojiuiuc ! He got a honeydew boba drink and I got a strawberry pana cotta latte. Mine is sooo cute! Both drinks are really delicious and remind us of Japan. - - - - - - - - - - #food #foodporn #foodie #yum #brunchdates #dateswithmyhusband #bobatea #boba #bobadrinks #chambana #champaign #champaignurbana #champaignillinois #illinois #milso #marinewife #marinewifelife #militarywife #iputtheooinhisoorah #militaryspouse #recruiterwifelife #recruiterwife #usmcrecruiterwife https://www.instagram.com/p/CNp4wUBBUvW/?igshid=oadm4y4iuil2

Taking advantage of Jeremy being on leave and grilling out for the first time this year. Normally he isn’t off early enough to grill out. I can’t wait until recruiting duty is over with and we can have more evenings like this. - - - - - - - - #milso #marinewife #marinewifelife #militarywife #iputtheooinhisoorah #militaryspouse #recruiterwifelife #recruiterwife #usmcrecruiterwife #grillingseason #grillingandchilling #housewifelife #modernhousewife #happyhomemaker #domesticgoddesinthemaking #ladyofthehouse #milsolife #milsostrong https://www.instagram.com/p/CNlkEikBH0Z/?igshid=1pv3wy87vah06

Bagheera loves to sun bath on the stairs. He moves up and down the staircases to follow the light. We are both ready for some California sun after all this Midwest gloom. - - - - - - #blackcat #petsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #catgram #nekosgram #meow #furbaby #voidsofinstagram #blackcatsofinstagram #blackcatsaregoodluck #blackcatphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfhDdQhM-u/?igshid=1wxlxtknowdg9

Some random clips of Jeremy and I hanging out with our friends, Mathew and Mike. We spent the day at Hunter’s Haven practicing archery. The final clip is from Mathew’s house when we were playing with his new drone.

I guess I should finally talk about the surgery I have been referring to that is taking place in May (hopefully). My doctors have finally approved me for weight loss surgery! We are just waiting on insurance to approve it, and then it will be scheduled. - - - - - - - - #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #rouxeny #rouxenygastricbypass #gastricbypass #weightlossblogger #healthandwellness #healthyeating #healthyliving #bloggersofinstagram #bloggerlife #blogger #lifestyleblogger #milsoblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/CMw_ugZjA2o/?igshid=1caawih6bkkyi

About My Upcoming Surgery

About My Upcoming Surgery

I guess I should finally talk about the surgery I have been referring to that is taking place in May (hopefully). My doctors have finally approved me for weight loss surgery! We are just waiting on insurance to approve it, and then it will be scheduled. This is something I have been working on somewhat quietly for the past few months. I have been overweight since I was a teenager. No matter what…
