Georgia Sucks

Yes, that is right. I said it. Our family does not have a high opinion regarding living in these parts. It seems that the simple things of life are a struggle right now. We are trying our best to focus on the positive. This too shall pass, but hopefully not before one of us does.

Still Going...

Sometimes it is just hard to do things like make news posts on here, and update Facebook and Twitter status and such. I can't say there is nothing going on, but it is just hard to boil it down into a couple sentences. I am trying to get up to speed at work, but it is hard because it is a brand new career field that is pretty technical (and somewhat boring). Plus, I keep having extra things thrown at me that distract me from learning my job. I am continuing to work on this site and make it better - right now I am building my own forum. Once I go to the midnight shift at work I should have more time to get all that done.

Time flies when you are unpacking a house

It seems like just a few days ago we closed on the house, but tomorrow it will have been two weeks. The house is still in mild disarray, with two bedrooms basically unusable due to the still packed, or unpacked and unorganized stuff remaining in them. The rest of the house is in mostly working order, however. I have finished my initial training and in-processing, and thus I go to my real work center for the first time tomorrow morning. It should be interesting!

New house closing and website upgrades

We are extremely excited to report that we are closing on our new house a week from today. We took some pictures of it during the inspection, and it came out really clean on that. The house is in really good shape and overall it is nicer than our previous house in just about every way. Also, I have spent a lot of time this past week upgrading this site once again. It is looking much more professional and has increased functionality. Of course, more is to come so stay tuned!

Packing up the house

Today begins the packing up of our life here in Nebraska. We are excited for the opportunities available in Georgia. However, we must be patient because we are not actually leaving the area until July 9th. Kelley is enjoying the fact that she does not have to work again till she finds a job in GA. DJ only has a few work days left. We have been talking about the details of this life changing event for 9 months now. Let's get on with it!

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.

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!

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!
