Steven and I haven't been up to much lately. Lots of work work WORK! Steven's parents are coming at the end of October, so it's given me an excuse to FINALLY decorate our guestroom and the kitchen a little. Must say it was a blast! I'd been feeling a little blue, so it kept me busy and brought me joy.
I've been feeling really great lately! My adjustment to Missouri has not been an easy one. It's been quite depressing with not really having any friends. Being far away from family when things happen breaks my heart. It's also taken a toll on my selfworth. I thought I would have a better shot with the job market with my degree, reguardless of the economy, but with the next town down the highway, Warrensburg, that's population is 16,000, there's not much to choose from. I am very grateful for my job, but of course, I don't EVER want to work retail again!
NOVEMBER 18th is the date that Steven gets to put in for a base of preference! First round we are putting in for Travis and Beale in California. We will hear back within a week or two. If we don't get it, then we will try for bases in Washington, Colorado, and Idaho. Anywhere WEST!!! So hopefully, by Christmas we will have great news for our family. I know everyone wants us closer. I'm hoping that if we get a base of preference I can start grad school, fingers crossed, in Fall of 2012! Makes my heart smile just typing that! Working crummy jobs, drives me even harder to further my education. It's not a secret how deeply I want a family, but I never want to worry about money and I want the best for Steven and I and our family. I want my children to go to college and be successful! Steven will also be able to finish his Bachelor's Degree, which is extremely important to me. I know how great it feels to have that accomplished, reguardless of where my degree has taken me now. My Grandma Sandy has always told me, that no one can take your education away from you. It's a comforting feeling.
