His mastermind is hard at work in that photo! What can I say? Hey hon you shoud see what your brother just posted on facebook!

http://melissaandbenbrubaker.blogspot.com/2011/02/facebook-ads.html
Friday, February 18, 2011. Does anyone else feel like Facebook advertisements are targeting them specifically? I swear it's like they know my husband has been gone for 6 months! These are the top three ads on my facebook page:. 1 Never Shave Again. 2 Do you have a permit to carry concealed weapons? 3 Become an Epidemiologist. What kind of an Amazonian woman do they think I am? It's got me thinking that it's time to make some major life adjustments.starting with shaving my legs ;). Luis and Rachelle Weger.

Saturday, February 19, 2011. Ben's reaction to his "new wardrobe". Ben: I don't have a wardrobe, and are you really buying me all new clothes? Melissa: Yes, I got you some new outfits. Ben: I am a man, I do not wear outfits. Exactly how many new things have you bought? Ben: So you mean like 2 shirts and 2 pants (insert sigh of relief), ok that's fine. I can live with that. I love being married to this guy! He sure makes life fun! February 19, 2011 at 12:30 PM. February 19, 2011 at 2:17 PM. Ben definitely...

The Deployment Diary: Ticks...ewe!!!
http://melissaandbenbrubaker.blogspot.com/2011/05/ticksewe.html
Sunday, May 22, 2011. I discovered a tick crawling on the wall in my kitchen this morning as I was searching for something to eat for breakfast. My mental process went a little something like this, hmmm cereal, fruit, yogurt, tick, or spaghetti? Hey wait a second. How the heck did a tick get in my house! My natural instinct is the scream for Ben and run away. However, Ben is a tad busy this year what with being in a war torn country and all. Take that you blood sucking fiend! The crowd looked like they w...

The Deployment Diary: Blue Star Wives Club
http://melissaandbenbrubaker.blogspot.com/2011/03/blue-star-wives-club.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Blue Star Wives Club. It's official Cassie is now part of my blue star wives club. Of course I wouldn't wish this on any woman, but it sure is nice to have another woman around who can relate. My favorite part of visit so far was when her husband called her while we were trying to pick out a dessert in the icecream aisle at walmart. The look on her face was priceless. It was kind of like an a-ha moment for me- so that's what I look like when my husband calls me! Life as of Late.

Wednesday, March 30, 2011. So here's what my cutie pie soldier got for our 5 year anniversary:. Yes I know I have posted the t-shirt everywhere! I can't help it.it was one of my most brilliant ideas yet! So let's see the hobby farm magazine is so that he can come up with more crazy dreams like Emu farming, gum just because I know he loves it, granola bars because he thinks they aren't treats (but really they are definitely treats), funfetti frosting because it's fun.duh! Can you tell I love my soldier?
