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!
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
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 tack
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.
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 excuses. Society or your upbringing creates habits that need to be broken. I do not have to have a dessert in order to feel I have eaten a satisfied meal. I do not have to eat ice cream every day to make
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 leading up to leaving, I am was fine. Maybe that was because I was so busy with preparations to sell the house and such and did really think about just how long 4 months really was. When I got in the car
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. Li
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 officiall
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!
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 piece, the entire tub/shower has to be replaced. That will be done soon at a cost of several hundred dollars.
Then, around a month ago, our projector just suddenly died and would not revive. I
