iPhone apps

Today I've decided to share with y'all a few apps that have been very beneficial to me since Ryan has been in the Marine Corps. You should download one or all of these apps and they will make your life a lot easier! 

The first app is Skype. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what Skype is and what you use it for: video chatting. You can also use it to IM, Phone call and leave video messages. Ryan and I have used Skype many a night since he has been away.

I'm going to skip over my weather app and go to my Countdown+ app. This is only available for iPhone and it's fantastic! You can have several countdowns going on at once, it's really user-friendly and you can customize it to look however you want!

Next is my Been together app. This app tracks how long you have been with your S/O in terms of days. I changed it to track the number of days Ryan and I have been apart.

After FaceTime (that's a video chat exclusively for iPhones) there is my kik app. This is a texting app that Ryan and I sometimes use. Since you use it through WiFi we have no issue texting with it since he is in Japan.

My all time favorite is next: Voxer. This app pretty much turns your phone into a walkie talkie. I LOVE this app and would highly recommend it to anyone!

The Couple app is something the two of you can use to keep in touch. You can text, thumb kiss and so much more. I'm not a big fan of this app, but I know several MilSOs who swear by it!

My Facebook messenger app is what Ryan and I use to text the majority of the time. You can also send pictures and voice messages through it.

Have a happy hump day!!!

Out of my comfort zone

Hello, readers! I had a great weekend with my church's college and career class at some caverns several hours away from home. Here's a picture of us before we went into the caves:

Yes, it was a fun time, but now I'm back to the grind! I have work, go running, pick a director's daughter up from school, mail my second package to Japan and continue planning my parent's 25th wedding anniversary party. Needless to say, I'm super busy!

Going back to the list of things I need to do today, running is second. Recently I have decided to "practice what I preach" and do something for myself (Like I stated earlier this month in my "Waiting for Him" post). No, I'm not very good at running, but it's making me feel better about myself. It's helping me feel productive and like I'm accomplishing something.

So, I challenge you all: do something that's out of your comfort zone that will help you feel better about yourself. For me, it's running. But for some of you it could be as simple as wearing a dress to work or school because you're not a "girly girl". The better you feel about yourself, the more confident you will come across to the world. Just like Candace Cameron said on Dancing with the Stars last week, "Confidence is sexy". Confidence is sexy and just because your man is gone doesn't mean you need to stop feeling sexy.

Good luck this week!
