This whole living apart thing is pretty rough. Days are pretty empty when the love of your life is 600 miles away. I am keeping busy, of course, but nothing can make up for Kelley not being here. I am thankful things are going as well as they so far - nothing major has gone wrong and I pray that continues. I don't have to go a month long class in Texas in August, so that will help a ton with making sure everything is ready to go before I go to Korea. We'll get through this, but the adjustment is

I finished my last quiz today for my Understanding Business course through the University of Wisconsin-Superior Transportation and Logistics program. I am looking forward to the next course which is covers exports. I want to gain all the information I can in this course. I will be done with this program in May of 2016. The future is bright for me!

Kelley has moved to Ohio for the duration of my time in Korea. The only downside is that I have not moved yet. But, this is necessary for her to find a job and a place to live. I am not a fan of living down here alone, but I get to go up and see her several more times before I go, including for a near 2 week vacation in just 5 days. I need to use this time to my advantage and I have a lot to do. These times keep getting more and more interesting - now we don't even know for sure if we are going

I admit, I am not good at waiting. I like to keep moving forward. Right now, I am going no where VERY slowly. I am in my first class towards my Transportation and Logistics certification. DJ will sign up for school soon. We will continue to treasure the time we have together as we will be separated all too soon. Make the best of each day. You do not know what is just around the corner.

So, I found out I am going to Korea for a year around 2 months ago. We still don't know where we are going afterwards and we found out this week we likely won't know until the July/August time frame. Not ideal, but at least we know. We'll be in Dayton and Traverse City this July again, and that will be a nice trip before we batten down the hatches and prepare for what the future has in store. It is a exciting time, but it is hard to be patient. Where will we be 2 years from now?

I wanted to have a place to put a list of games that I want to check out at some point so I could refer to it when it came time to get/play a new game. I'll update this as needed.

Cosmic Star Heroine - Phantasy Star like - PS4, Vita
Guild of Dungeoneering - PC/Mobile - RPG ish
Shadowrun - PC
Super Time Force - PC - run and gun, play iwth previous playthroughs
Transistor - PS4/PC - from people who made Bastion
Shovel Knight - side scrolling 8 bit - Wii U/

We found out that DJ was not eligible to attend AFIT - school at Wright-Patt Air Force Base. Now, he will move forward with his education goals through Georgia Tech. DJ was unfortunately chosen to work in South Korea. He chose to go unaccompanied for 1 year. This will allow us to only be apart in two 5.5 month chunks with a 30 day break in the middle. We are anxiously awaiting the news as to where we would go after DJ's return from South Korea. Stay tuned.

Our family is in a waiting period. We are waiting to see if DJ is chosen to attend school for his masters in Ohio or even CA. We are limited with what we can do (search for a job or begin school) until we know about this decision. It is out of our hands. Now we are just praying for favor. Not much is easy for us right now but we are thankful that we have each other.

Life is interesting right now. I do not know the future. It forces you to take life one day at a time. I want the chance to return home and see my family. I do not know what is best for our family. I hope we will have some answers soon. Meanwhile, I continue to study logistics and Spanish. I hope this studying will help me land a job that I enjoy.

I am so happy to have finished cleaning the house for the first time in 5 years. It certainly takes time to do a good job. It certainly is not what I call "fun", but it is great when it is all done. It helps me burn calories too. I am all for that right now as I wish to lose the winter weight. If anyone has a secret as to how to limit the dishes from getting dirty EVERYDAY please let me know. :)
