It's been a while

It has been a long while since I posted a blog of my own, but then my friend got me back into it with a community blog, so I figured, meh, why not, I will post another of my own. Let's see, alot has happened in two years. Right after my husband got orders to Korea, we found out, against all odds, that we were going to have a baby. She came out perfect. She is now 13 months old, and VERY active. I went back to work when we arrived in Montana, which is where wee went after my hubby got home from Korea. I have a very good job with a promising future in a pretty good corporation. I have been working there 2 1/2 months, and I got a promotion already. Gotta love it. Montana is COLD. Especially compared to SC or KY. The other day when I woke up it was 14 degrees F outside.....and they tell me it gets even COLDER!!! WHY???? It isn't like we moved to Siberia....Oh well, I will get accustomed to it....eventually.

I had a really bad week not too long ago. It was then that I realized that even being a couple thousand mile or so away from my REAL friends, my unbiological sisters, that I really realized, distance doesn't really decrease friendships, unless the distance is the excuse you are looking for to "loose touch with " or to "grow apart" from those friends. I may not see my real friends in SC or NC that much, but when we get together, we always seem to connect right back with each other. And especially now that phone calls are so cheap and email and video confrencing, you really only loose friendships if you want to, and if you are truely blessed with REAL friends, those unbiological brothers and sisters....it is a real shame to let them go.

Orders

Well, my husband got orders today. For you non-military people out there, it means we are moving. He got orders to Korea. Seoul to be specific. I don't know how I feel about this yet. I am glad we are moving. Things haven't been the greatest here. The area is nice, but the politics here suck. We are going to rent out the house. I don't know if we can take the dogs yet, but I am going to check on that, and I know we are going to live on the post/base, whatever it is, so we are going to be able to save alot of money. Oh well, I guess I guess I should go to bed now.

Life moves so slowly in the Fast Lane

I have been so very busy here lately, and I just keep adding more to my plate, those around me saying I am taking on too much, but then I get requests for help, so go figure. It seems as though I haven't any time for myself and my husband, yet all I am doing is hurrying around to wait. Hurry and get the babysitting charge to school just so I can wait in line to drop him off at the door, hurry up and get to the school to pick babysitting charge up so I can wait in line to get him in the car, hurry up to all the bill places to pay bills, just to wait in line. Be 15 minutes early for a doctor's appointment just to wait 45 minutes to be seen, but if you are late, then they cancel your appointment. Do you get the picture? And now, for extra money, I am cleaning a few houses as well as babysitting. And I just applied for a receptionist job at the local cable company. Maybe I will have a few minutes to myself to enjoy with my husband, but it doesnt look like it will be anytime soon.

Oh Wow!

Has it been that long already? Another year, another set of useless resolutions that are only useless because I never seem to do anything about them. I always get caught up doing everything else. I keep vowing I am going to loose weight and start exercising more, but those particular resolutions never make it out of January. I always say I am going to get more organized...although that one might be working...I am more organized now than I was 10 years ago, maybe I just need another 1o or so years.... :\
There is that, and the fact that stress never seems to help, and funny, all this time I thought it did. :P

OMG!!! HE GOT ME ADDICTED!!!!

MY husband and I have found that we enjoy playing City of Heroes together.....He got it a couple months ago, and then I got it at the first of the month. I already have 2 characters, one is a level 13 and one is a level 6. My house is a mess and all I can do is sit behind my laptop trying to level my characters up.....it's that addicting. Actually my house isnt that bad, I do my chores before I get on the game. But it is a new toy that I haven't wanted to put down yet.

Butterfly Migration

I really love my husband. The other day he called me outside just to share the sight of about a hundred little monarch butterflies flitting around the backyard. It was a wonderful sight that we just stood cuddling and watching. And then that night we had the joy to experience a Japanese Owl Moth. We were standing outside before bed talking, when this huge creature came up. At first I thought it was a bat it was so big, then we saw it was a huge moth that was absolutely gorgeous. We sat watching it until it flew off and became one with the night.It was a great day.

My house, the Halfway House

Sometimes I think my husband and I will never be alone. We moved one roommate out (he was supposed to go to SC, but ended up in the hospital), but before that, my brother's Ladyfriend moved in, then my brother moved back from Florida to be with her while she finishes out school. Today we are expecting one of the military guys we know back from Iraq, and he is staying with us for a while because of a divorce, then at the end of Septemeber, one of the other miltary guys we know is coming back from Iraq and staying with us til he finds a place. After all this I have put my foot down and said NO MORE!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I have not lived alone in the four years we have been together, and we are quite ready for it. Oh well, at least we are getting rent out of these people. Money is always good, helps pay the bills.
