Summer Wrap Up . . .. . and Gone.

The last month has been busy.  I finished two pairs of booties for my niece and I will be bringing them to her in less than a week, which I am incredibly excited for.  I also finished one of my Christmas present knit projects, but I can’t share it here so that the recipient doesn’t [...]

Scuba!

We went scuba diving last weekend.  It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.  I was a bit nervous when we got to the dive shop but then I got even more nervous when I found out that we could die from lung over expansion injury.  I forget to breathe at first when [...]

First Socks Finally

I finally finished those socks I started six months ago the other day.  I must say, it was incredibly satisfying to get over second sock syndrome and get those done.  They aren’t my favorite, they are pretty boring, but I think I did a good job and I’m proud of them.  Now I am so [...]

New life… new kitty!

Well so its been a few weeks now, and we’re starting to get settled.  The apartment is still a bit of a mess, but its more like we live here now, although we still don’t have a dining room table.  I always forget how much moving sucks until I have to do it again.  It’s [...]

Days 2-5

First of all, I’m sorry for not posting pictures and updates sooner.  The internet at our hotel is basically non-existent, so we are currently at a Starbucks paying for internet and waiting for our appointment to look at an apartment.  The last few days have been a bit of a whirlwind.  We haven’t exactly been [...]

Aloha

Well we have arrived in Hawaii.  It was overwhelming right off the bat.  After a super fun car ride/drive to St. Louis, we travelled on three differenet planes to arrive in Honolulu at 5:30am.  It was probably the most exhausting trip ever.  One of the other lieutenants in A’s troop whose name is David met [...]

I’m an Aunt!

It’s official!  My sister’s baby arrived early this morning (2:33 am CST) and its a girl.  Her name is Madeline Marie, which is super cute.  I am literally thrilled, because she wasn’t due until after I leave for Hawaii (Monday…. holy crap!) and since she came early, I get to go see her before I [...]

I think I might cry.

The movers came on Thursday. My life has been whittled down to 39 boxes and some furniture in two crates on the back of a large van. It’s amazing how depressing that is. My walls are bare, everything except my clothes and some essentials are packed away, ready to fly to Hawaii. [...]

Running Away

Did you ever consider running away when you were little?  I don’t think I ever did.  I always told my parents that I would go to Delta College and live in the neighbor’s house because I knew where both of them were.  I think not knowing where things were really freaked me out.  I don’t [...]

And thus it starts . . .

First of all, thanks to everyone for the well wishes and for reading my blog. I’ve had more people read it in the past week than in the entire time I’ve been writing it! (250+ in one day — insane!)
As I begin to weed my way through actually being an Army wife, I’m [...]
