it has taken me some time to figure out if i wanted to keep blogging or just throw in the towel all together. i decided after a good long absence i was ready to get back in the saddle. looking back at the last year plus of blogging and documenting our life has taught me a lot about myself and how buzz and i have grown as a couple and as individuals, and two weeks ago we set out on a new adventure worth documenting. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
two weeks ago today buzz left pearl harbor for his second deployment. it was pretty bittersweet, i'm not going to lie, but with the support of the other lovely wives of buzz's shipmates i think we can do this. again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
this has been the story of our lives this weekend. after two days of dismally grey weather, a 27 hour work schedule for buzz, and a lot of putzing around the house cleaning and <i>gasp doing dishes</i> for me, this weekend seems to have let of us more tired than when we started.<br />
<br />
we're settled in on the couch now, with warm tea, a cuddly blanket and some stephen hawking universe exploration. <i>we're really just nerds with attitude. yo.</i></div>ashley @ the 29th floorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17291315143283181108noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1520702234586322881.post-48302098891802497842012-02-25T09:59:00.002-08:002012-02-25T09:59:50.412-08:00post no. 410 -- it's the little things v. 12<div style="text-align: justify;">
this week, despite only being four days, was pretty challenging. we had several big events at work, and when it felt like nothing was going right, it just so happened that <i>nothing</i> was in fact going right. despite the craziness of that world, it was <i>so</i> refreshing to sit down and sort through the photos i have been snapping all week to compile this post. it's these little things link ups that can take a week like this and completely turn it around.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img src="http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m532/ashleympearson/IMG_4261.jpg" width="610" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
on wednesday buzz and i made our way down to the times market in mccully and picked up a slew of food. we're pretty awful at grocery shopping, which is strange seeing as every time i go, i impulse buy my way through the entire place, but every now and then, when our bookshelf pantry is completely bare, and we spend two nights in a row eating noodles with no sauce, we go. this week buzz insisted on bringing home a giant bag of clementines, and let me just tell you guys, there's nothing like coming home from a long day to peel apart <s>one</s> errr.. ten little juicy babies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img src="http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m532/ashleympearson/IMG_4267.jpg" width="610" /><br />
<br />
as i mentioned in my <a href="http://www.the29thfloorblog.com/2012/02/post-no-409-well.html">last post</a> buzz is about to deploy. we've been in denial for several weeks now, but the truth is, <i>it's coming. </i>but we've decided to get off our poutty stools and make the most of it. so we enacted dinner nights. for the last couple of nights we've been taking turns cooking for each other. one of buzz's nights he made the most delicious cumin roasted nut chicken i have ever tasted. <i>have i mentioned that boy is creative in the kitchen? </i>it is such a breath of fresh air being able to lean on each other, even when it's just a meal.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m532/ashleympearson/IMG_4254.jpg" width="610" /><br />
<br />
<i>chopping. </i>have you every noticed how amazingly pro you feel when dicing and slicing up vegetables, and well.. anything really. i feel like rachel ray on crack sometimes slicing onions and things, without a tear in my eye, and sliding my freshly chopped ingredients off into a simmering pot. sometimes i even narrate to buzz while i'm cooking. <i>i still live on the delusional planet that i am an amazing cook worthy of her own tv empire.</i> yup. that's me.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m532/ashleympearson/IMG_4284.jpg" width="610" />
<br />
<br />
one of the most amazing "perks" about my job is my ability to get out on the water every week. i talked about this on <a href="http://www.the29thfloorblog.com/2012/02/post-no-402-its-little-things.html">another little things post</a> but i think it's worth mentioning again. there's a sense of freedom that comes when you're out on the water. like your problems were left on the dock, and all that matters is the sun on your face and the wind through you hair. i feel so blessed to have grown up next to the beach, and to be living a block from one now.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
sometimes all you really need after a week through the trenches is a couple of humbling photos to remind you how lucky you really are. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>how have you been blessed this week?</i> </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">buzz and i just finished the most amazing pork burrito wraps. <i>and i was too busy not breathing between bits to stop myself and snap some photos.</i> these last few days we've been taking turns making dinner for each other, and tonight was my turn to whip something up. we've been making it a point to sit down and eat together, and being in the final weeks now of the deployment countdown i think it's more important than ever to create some memories to get us through the coming months. </span><br />

buzz and i have never really been huge fans of white walls. not to say that we hate them. we're just not exactly shelling out the big bucks in advertising promotions. so when we moved into our last place, the first thing on the agenda was to cover each nook and cranny with a splash of color. <i>joy.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
everything was dandy until it came time to move. <i>by myself.</i> paint everything back. <i><b>by myself.</b></i> and overall just hate life.<i> you get the picture... </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so yaddah yaddah, we're in our apartment now, and loving it. but it's soo.... white. and bright. becuase of all the... light! so today while working at <s>my other job</s> pinterest, i casually brought up the idea to paint one of the two walls in the house black. and surprisingly (actually not that surprisingly) buzz thought it was a fabulous notion. so once i finally conclude on the direction of our home decor, the walls are going black! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
but in the meantime, <b>i scheme...</b> and share my findings with all of you!! so <i>enjoy</i> :) </div>

i really didn't expect much of this week to tell you the truth. we've been doing a huge company overhaul at work and that means longgggg days sorting through photos, editing code, and brainstorming every little corner of our new website. so when i got a call half way through the week letting me know my vespa was ready to go, i was over the moon ecstatic. </div>
<br />
<img src="http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m532/ashleympearson/29thFloorLittleThings11-5.jpg" width="610" /><img src="http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m532/ashleympearson/29thFloorLittleThings11-6.jpg" width="610" /><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and let me just tell you how exhilarating it is to speed down the road snapping pictures of the back of your husband's head. <b>i mean really</b>, <i>it's the stuff daredevils thrive off of. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
a couple other things that made my week a little bit better than ordinary...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>...new shoe racks - </i>or rather, watching your husband assemble said shoe racks, and then having him organize your entire shoe collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
...<i>spoiled puppies - </i>jack to be specific. getting not one, but two over-sized bones and an impenetrable chew toy from our building manager who loves her like his own little thing. watching them play together can bring a smile to a spinster's face, i swear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>...& valentines day candy - </i>after munching through half the bag in the last hour i might be barfing rainbows later, but oh boy are they delicious.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>what made your list this week?</i><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
this weekend buzz's friend came down from base and the boys loaded up my little le putt for her trip to the service center of our local vespa dealer. remember back when <a href="http://www.the29thfloorblog.com/2011/08/post-no-289-thoughts-things.html">this happened</a>? well, we've been pretty lax about getting things fixed due to finances, and a new year means new priorities, err.. maybe just getting loose ends tied up before deployment... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
lately i've been hating the mobility, or lack there of, that comes with being a bus patron. so when i got a call yesterday saying that the parts were in and they could start service in two days, i practically happy danced through our entire apartment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so long story short, tomorrow afternoon, i get lil miss lucy le putt back. $1000, an oil change, and a good scrubbin' later, i'll be riding off in the sunset, never to set foot on the noisy bus again! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so an afternoon at the beach with friends, a good cuddle with the spoiled puppy who's daddy bought her THE LARGEST bone, and a husband home on leave taking care of <b><i>all</i></b> the dirty dishes, leads to one happy camper in this neck of the woods.</div>
<div>

it's kind of funny. just about every time i think about buying little random tid bits, they tend to show up on the side of the road in waikiki saving us a few bucks. our latest find were a pair of beach chairs last night on our walk with jack. after skipping over to inspect them, i had buzz lug them into to the elevators and up to safety. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
i was excited to try them out today, and after some back and forth with the weather this morning, buzz and i finally headed to the beach after a flash gordon 80s extravoganza. <i>definitely a must watch if only for the costumes.</i> from there we proceeded to burn. like a disco inferno, but better. err, redder... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

so now we're sitting here, burned. eating yummy sushi, and watching netflix. and blending margaritas. because that's what you do when you're red like a cherry tomato. <i> </i></div>ashley @ the 29th floorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17291315143283181108noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1520702234586322881.post-75935027457431064392012-02-09T19:45:00.000-08:002012-02-09T19:59:20.777-08:00post no. 402 -- it's the little things v. 10<br />
this week has been a bit of a blur with buzz being gone. what i thought was going to be a long boring few days alone in the apartment has turned into a bit of a crazy week at work. we recently hired a new wedding planner to help take over some of the correspondence and clerical things, so lately i've been getting to the meat and bones of our marketing plans and completely revamping our websites. <i>busy much?</i><br />
<br />
despite the flurry of events that have been happening lately, it was nice to have some little things to be thankful for this week.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">for starters, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">fresh avocados</span> from the farmer's market<br />
something about their <i>creamy green goodness</i> makes me feel instantly at home.<br />
<b>yum. yum. yum.</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">sailing the seven seas.</span><br />
or at least the coast...<br />
working for a charter company sure does have it's perks.<br />
when i get to get out on the water it sure does tend to put things in a different perspective.<br />
<br />
getting<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">e-mails from buzz</span><br />
especially ones letting me know he'll be home soon!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">orchids</span><br />
orchids really are one of the most beautiful flowers.<br />
and certainly one of my favorite.<br />
as much as hawaii took some getting used to,<br />
it was worth it for all of the natural beauty we get to experience each and every day.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">[<a href="http://xlovetohatex.tumblr.com/post/3831417173">source</a>]</span></div>
<br />
this is my motto for this deployment. <i>hoping for the best. </i>because the last, was the worst. so naturally, i'm a little anxious about jumping right into another one. but having got through the last, i know it's possible.<br />
<br />
one of my biggest regrets about buzz's last deployment was not setting and goals for myself.<br />
<br />
while six months is quite a long time to be alone, it's also an amazing opportunity for growth. this deployment i want to document that growth through some goals. here they are:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">read the <b>entire bible</b> cover to cover</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
save, save, <i>save</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
write one <span style="font-size: large;">handwritten letter</span> a week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>hip hop abs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">island hop over to maui</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
make good girl friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>care packages [lots of care packages]</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cook <i>at least</i> <span style="font-size: x-large;">one</span> complete meal per week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>decide</b> on a style && decorate our apartment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
keep jack <i>happy and exercised </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">tan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
i might be adding to this list over the next several months, but for now, this is them. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">i've been avoiding you guys for awhile now i'll admit it. things have been going topsy turvy at the apartment lately and the uncertainty of it all has got both buzz and i awake at night, groggy in the morning, and sluggishly pushing through our days.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this morning at 3am i was wide awake. awake enough to want to sleep but not tired enough to actually get there. i felt uncertain, not just about our apartment situation, but about buzz's impending deployment, the changes we will face this year, and how prepared i really am to handle more time alone. i started doubting myself, my choices, my path. <i>is what <b>i want</b> really what <b>we need</b>? </i>i layed there scrolling through my bible trying to find a verse that would just smack me in the face. an<i> aha verse</i>, to solve all my problems. well as much as i'd like to say i got ashley 1:31, hey kid, do this, this, and this, and your days will forever be sparkly and filled with rainbow unicorns; but i didn't/ instead i got psalms 9:10.</span><br />

<br />
and now look at me. i have more tattoo ideas in this little head of mine than i really know what to do with.<br />
<br />
i've been branching out lately with the notion of starting a forearm sleeve on my right arm. i've been loving the idea of a sailor/nautical section of my arm seeing as for the past and next several years, the navy and the sea will be a huge part of our lives.<br />

<br />
these tattoos have been inspiring me as i try to arrange 10 lbs. of flash on my scrawny little limbs. i'm not sure i'll be able to fit it all in there, but i love the compass pointing home, as well as a lighthouse and an old school mermaid. i'm still thinking of some verbiage to throw in the mix, but for now first things first. <i>saving up for it. </i><br />

yesterday was rough. we're talking put your sunglasses on while you're walking home in cloudy storm weather because you don't want people to see you bawling your eyes out, rough. to not hash up too much, it just feels like our little family has been put through the ringer since august. between car problems, and lost keys, and missed buses, and a whirl wind of other blunders, some days just seem to reeeeaaaaalllly take it out of you. {did you catch my emphasis on <i>really</i>?} yesterday was one of those days. but then buzz, being the total nerd he is quoted batman. <i>the hour is always darkest before the dawn.</i> because there is always hope, in every circumstance.<br />
<br />
my mom used to tell us that when <b>god</b> puts something on your plate, <b>he</b> does it to show you what you're capable of. because at our core, we're all doubting thomas'. it's hard to have faith and trust that if we just ask <b>him</b> to, <b>he'll</b> handle it. <s>we're so short sighted</s>, i'm so short sighted sometimes thinking things are just too much. when in reality this is just a pebble on my path. all i have to do is ask for a hand, <b>he's</b> already there arms open.<br />
<br />
it took getting angry, and upset, and crying the whole way home feeling bad for myself <i>{i should of had some balloons for the pity party} </i>to realize it'll be ok. <b>he'll</b> make it ok. and that's all i need to know. </div>

we got back from california late wednesday evening, and sure thing thursday i was back up at the crack of dawn, ready for work. jack had been spending her little stay-cation at her puppy hotel. that was hard. i've never been apart from the cuddle monster more than a night prior to this trip, so 18 days was kinda huge. but she made it. about 5 lbs. thinner from all the romping and stomping, but i'm sure she'll be gaining it all back this week from the lazy days we've been having. for the most part we've been laying low, working a lot, and enjoying our own space again.

speaking of own space... a loft makeover is in the mix. so are a big list of clean&organized resolutions. 2012 gang, let's do this! </div>ashley @ the 29th floorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17291315143283181108noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1520702234586322881.post-67342387517410370342012-01-15T09:10:00.000-08:002012-01-15T09:11:54.444-08:00post no. 392 -- it's the little things v. 9this week we got back from our vacation in california, and while it was great to be back home with our friends and family <i>{some that we haven't seen in over three years}</i>, there was so much here that i had no idea how much i really missed until we touched down on the tar mat.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">jack</span><br />
how i missed this little thing.<br />
her wrinkles.<br />
the way she makes any space <i>her</i> space.<br />
how when no amount of midol is relieving cramps, her head on my belly cures all.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">this city</span><br />
even though it's small compared to most.<br />
the stillness, yet life you feel right as the sun starts to rise.<br />
the sirens. the police. the chaos.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m532/ashleympearson/IMG_3166.jpg" width="610" />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">palm trees & pineapples</span><br />
and how it's eighty degrees in the winter.<br />
that we can have beach days all year.<br />
and that warm sun on your face melts away any worry.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">& that i can share it all with him</span><br />
til death do us part.<br />

i take that back. 21 is another word, or at least number, that comes to mind. four months exactly and i'll be able to participate in the activities of the weekend. </div>

we stayed in the charlemagne suite on, get this, the 29th floor of <a href="http://www.parislasvegas.com/casinos/paris-las-vegas/hotel-casino/property-home.shtml">the paris hotel</a> in las vegas. the views of the strip at night were spectacular. so were the memories. i can't wait to experience the city at it's full potential.<br />

california is currently experiencing some highs for winter weather, so this might just have been the last day i am able to wear my beanie, scarf, and a barrage of sweaters all in one outfit. but i think i can deal. 40-something degree nights aren't really my thing.</div>

i wouldn't mind an in-n-out in hawaii though. #2, no onions, no tomatoes. i'm drooling just thinking about it. fun fact: i survived many a late night architectural history class off these babies. <i>freshman 15 like you wouldn't believe. </i></div>ashley @ the 29th floorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17291315143283181108noreply@blogger.com1
