Moving to Georgia Series - day 1

Today is day 1 of the movers coming to pack up all of our stuff. Surprisingly, only one lady showed up today to start packing our house. She is moving along pretty quickly, however, but she is obviously going to need some help with the furniture.

It is strange having the house be in such d

Last weekend in Texas

Well, I finally done with class, now I just have to wait around until Monday to graduate. Worst schedule ever, in my opinion, but what can you do? This last week was grueling, and I missed most of day feeling deathly sick, but I am better now and super excited to get home. This weekend will involve exercising, packing, and getting my uniforms ready to go for the ceremony on Monday. I should be on my way home by 11am on the 1st. Yes!

Worst Memorial Day Weekend Ever!!!

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone! DJ and I are not the happiest about it though. As a result of the holiday, it delays DJ returning to Nebraska by three days. Despite that fact, we are anxiously awaiting our reunion. We have plans to take our dog and go to Worlds of Fun amusement park in KC for a special getaway. We both feel that we deserve to treat ourselves to a nice vacation after going through over 100 days of being apart. We would not wish this on anyone. Thank you soldiers for all you do for us!

1 Month until I return!

I will return to the Omaha area exactly 1 month from today and I am very excited! It seems like ages since I left and knowing that my ordeal is almost over is a big boost. My class is going very well - I am tops in the class so far and expect to stay that way. The fact that summer movie season has started helps, since I love movies and they not only help distract me from how long I have left, but serve as markers to denote how little time I have left. I am very excited for our future as we tackle the unknown that is Georgia and the South.

It is almost May!!!

DJ and I are getting excited about his return home. Some days are certainly easier than others. Overall, we both believe that we have been able to use this time and make some good out of it. DJ is blasting away his exams and I am working on reaching my ultimate weight goal. My deadline is June 2nd when DJ is to return to Nebraska. We would like to thank everyone for their support during this time. We are so glad it is almost over. We are both excited to see what Georgia has in store for us.

Weight loss requires changing your lifestyle

I totally agree that in order to remain healthy it must be a lifestyle change. There are no days to take off. Every choice we make affects our bodies. No one makes us eat anything. We have to put the utensil that holds the food to our mouth. The choice is entirely in our hands. There are no excus

Trying to stay busy in Texas

If you are married and have had the unfortunate circumstance of being separated from your spouse for months at a time, you'll probably have a pretty good idea of what I am going through right now (provided you actually love your spouse, which I wholeheartedly hope you do).

In the weeks lea

Trying to sell a house sucks!!!

DJ is doing well in school down in Texas. Kelley is struggling remaining happy as she takes care of the animals and keeps the house spotless for house showings. She cannot wait until someone says they want to make an offer. Feel free to check out our add. We worked really hard getting this house ready before DJ had to leave. Pass the word along. Link

Texas is OK, I guess

So, I have been here in Texas for 2 weeks now and it is overall a mixed bag. The worst part, of course, is being separated from Kelley for such a long time. Besides that, there is not a ton to complain about. My Internet connection is crushingly slow, I share a shower and a toilet with my neighbor, and a couple other things, but nothing overwhelming. At least the weather is pretty nice, my class is not too demanding, and the local area and base has enough to meet my needs. Our house is officially for sale - let's hope it sells quick!

Busy Times

The house is slowly getting back to order. The walls are almost done. The floors will be done this weekend. DJ and Kelley are trying to stay strong as they know the days they will have together are dwindling. Pray for us!

When it rains, it pours

Forgive me for the cliched title, but it does fit. The last few weeks have been a test of our resolve and patience when it comes to things, and more importantly, things breaking.

It started a few months ago with the floor of our master bathroom tub developing a crack. Since it is a one pie

Prayer

1. Prayer is communication with/to God. When I pray, I tell Him how thankful I am for various things. (I can never be too thankful, especially because I cannot repay Him.) I make requests not really for physical things, but for help, wisdom, patience, self-control. etc I can pray anywhere. If I am

Long promised changes are finally arriving

For a long time now I have been saying that I was going to upgrade this site in various ways, and for a long time I have not been doing so. About a week ago that finally began to change. If you notice anything buggy about the site, it is because I am tweaking the look of it and overhauling the guts of it. The end result will be amazing, though. Once the changes are complete, I will write a blog about it and send an email to everyone explaining everything. Check back soon!

Bah Humbug

We truly are not against Christmas at all. It is just that during this time, life is not normal. We are busy preparing the house for selling purposes. All the while, we are trying to enjoy every minute we have together before DJ leaves for retraining in February. We are watching a lot of movies and trying to reach our goal weight by June 2009 when DJ returns from school. Dribble (our dog) is testing our patience, but also building our character as we care for him.

So, this website is still alive?

Contrary to how it has seemed over the last several months, yes. I have been very busy with my other project, The Awesome Theory, that I have neglected this site. The good news is that my work over there has taught me some amazing skills that I can use to make this site MUCH better. The biggest thing will be to make this site much easier to keep up on. I can automate so much more stuff. So, a redesign is coming soon, but the overall look will likely remain nearly the same. Kelley and I are doing great - we have a new dog who is a handful and we are busy. I just made TSgt, so I am thrilled about that. Email us or something!
