So I am going to try to catch up with some of the stuff that I have missed out on in the last couple of weeks.
Well to start off with Halloween...we had a Blast...I went as a chic from the 80's and Josh went as a Fat Irish Guy...He was pretty Hot...lol...we went to a couple of party's then came home and passed out...It was quit a night...That covers Halloween...
Now we are just doing some looking into Adoption...we are pretty sure that we want to Adopt a child with special needs...looking at the statistics not many get adopted out...and Josh and I have enough LOVE for any child...So that is the next big adventure we will be taking...We have come to understand that Adoption is expensive so we are going to start saving and get some help from the Army...they don't pay all of it but they pay some of it..and maybe with God helping he will see that we also want a family and want to love a child...Josh and I have went to fertility Doctors and all but they keep telling us the same thing...we don't think you can have children...so I am going to cross my fingers and hope that we will make the money or win the lottery just to help me and Josh start our family...I know its a long shot and may take more time then we want to wait but we want this more then we have ever wanted anything in the world....so this brings us to now just putting money away when we can and then having the money to do all this and make our DREAMS come true...
Well that's it for today I will be posting so new pictures again so check back in a Few days and see what we have been up to in color....

In the weeks ahead...
Well in the weeks to come....let see....maybe I should go back a couple of weeks....
Well about a week ago Josh and I moved out of our Tacoma apartment and moved in with some friends. Since then I have been just relaxing and hanging out cause I have a 3day road trip coming up. But more about that later...Since we have moved tho things have been great and just one really BAD day....
Lets start with the bad day cause then I can end with all the good....
I woke up at about 9 am on Thursday Oct 23 and went about my day like I normally do... I cleaned, washed cloths, got Josh's lunch ready and was on my way out the door...said good bye to my roommates and went to my truck...I drive a 2005 Trailblazer...It is my baby...I love it...anyway I went to my truck and while walking out there I noticed my checkbook and planner on the ground...I really didn't think anything about it thought that Josh was in there looking for stuff cause we just moved...so I got in my truck and saw something laying on the floor...It was the lock from the OUTSIDE of my truck....I didn't know what to think...so I got out and looked and sure enough my truck had been broken into and stuff had been stolen...yep and I am from a small town where I normally don't worry about my stuff but I guess here I learned the hard way...Josh had his Ipod touch that I got him for when he goes back to Iraq and my Zune were both taken that was about 600$ worth of electronics...Not to mention that Josh got me a GPS for my truck since I drive so often back home and they had taken that also...We had a spare key in the glove box that was taken and my parents house keys were on that also...this person also stole 2 checks out of my check book...When I talked to my insurance company they told me that I have about 1800$ worth of work that has to be done cause they have to re key the whole truck...the ignition, doors, glove box, and center counsel...and replace and repaint some of my driver door...but they don't cover any of the electronics in the truck...at this point I have called the police, called my husband home from work, called my insurance company, and called my bank and parents...So I was super annoyed...I just cant wait to go home for a while and get out of the Army Wife life for a break....
So onto that...I am moving home for a couple of months...Just for November and December....I need a break from here and miss my parents and Family like Crazy...And Josh has agreed to come home for Christmas..YAY...another Christmas with him...I am excited cause when you are married to a Soldier in the United States Army you don't spend very many birthdays holidays or days with them ever so I am taken for granted that I will be with him this year...
So I leave on Nov 1st to go home I am thinking that I will be on the Road for about 3 days since I am making the Drive by myself and all...I am going to take my time and not push myself...I have a day to drive in the mountains and 2 for the rest of it...so wish me luck....
Other then that I have been working on my Photography...I have been playing with some pictures and stuff and taken pictures and trying to get all that started and then I will be making money on the side with that...I will be up loading some pictures so check them out and let me know what you think....
Well that's all for tonight...

Meet Josh and Heidi Mc Faul
Hello to everyone....I have never blogged before but here it goes....
Well I met Josh in October of 2003 and we have been together ever since. We dated for awhile and then Josh asked me to marry him, in November of 04. We had our date set for April of 05. We just wanted to be married and start or life together as husband and wife. Well that ment we needed to get started with the wedding planning. Josh was NO help there. His answer to everything was whatever you want, and thats fine, or I dont care. Well that got old FAST. But I was not going to let that stop us from getting married I would just plan it on my own. Then in January I was sooo sick and went to the doctor to find out that we were going to have a baby. That was awesome we were soooo excited we could not wait. everything was going fine until March of 05 when I woke up one morning and was not feeling well I went to the doctor and found out that we were not going to be having the baby. On March 25 we had
Zaine Cooper Mc Faul. We were very sad and didnt know how to deal but we made it through that. It was hard going home form the hospital and not having a baby there to feed and hold and rock to sleep, bath, play with, and be parents to. It took some time and we were back on our feet, but with the the wedding less then a month away we were not sure how we were supposed to have the best day of our lives with the thought that we just had a baby and not ready to have another big event we wanted to wait. So we waited til October 21st 2005 and we said I do at 10 am and have been happy together since.
In April of 05 Josh joined the Army. Wow we didnt know what we had in store for us then. Josh and I spent the rest of that summer together and then Josh went to Basic and Ait. He left in Nov. and came home in December and I thought that was hard to be away from him. But it was all worth it when he graduated on March 17th of 06. He came home and we worked at our bar we had in Athens for awhile and then Josh decided that He wanted to be Active duty Army. For about 2 months I didnt get to see him He moved to TX and I stayed in Wisconsin. I finally wanted to be with him so one day I woke up and decided that WAS the day I was going to TX packed my stuff,(well the stuff that I could fit In my car) and drove to TX. I was by myself but I loved my husband and wanted to be with him. So Yucky(our dog at the time) and I took 2 days on the road and went. We got there I was happy and could not wait to be with him. We lived there for 2 years. In that 2 years I was alone for a little over a year cause Yep It was Joshs turn to go to Iraq.
IT WAS A LONG YEAR, but what made it easy was going back and forth to Wisconsin. I think I was back and forth so much they could have named roads after me. I even brought friends with me that there husbands also were deployed and they wanted to get out of Fort Hood TX. In November Josh came home and We were finally together again.
SO we soon found out that we were moving the ARMY said that we had to go to Fort Lewis WA. and I was happy one of the things that I was So happy about was getting to see the country and travel the roads of the United states. We Left TX on April 1st and and got to WA on April 8th we took time driving there so that we could stop and see the mountains and spend some time together since we were apart for so long.
That brings us to now. We are now living in Lakewood WA and enjoying life together in the beauty that WA has to offer.
Well I bet you cant wait to see some pictures well here they are..
