We're at our 2 1/2 month mark of living over here and I have to say I have been proud of myself for how well I have held up being so far away from home. I've only had about two sad nights so far, one on my birthday...because I was on the other side of the world from everyone and no one here even knew it was my birthday and we didn't have good enough internet to talk on Skype yet...so I didn't even get to talk to anyone (besides typing). And one other random night before we had internet at home and I hadn't talked to anyone in weeks.
And now tonight.
Taylor has been working a bunch. And I have gotten to the point where I have the house pretty much put together, so not a lot to do at home. And I have a few friends over here...but I'm still at the point of getting to know everyone. It's not quite the comfortable stage of friends you've had forever. But I really like all the girls over here...it's just a matter of getting to know everyone better. And most my friends have babies, which adds a WHOLE new dimension to life. (Don't worry, this isn't me wanting a baby right now...I don't) And I haven't started work, so I'm feeling a bit worthless right now in that department. And I just spent about an hour or two playing Bejeweled online. It's a stupid computer game.
I know, I know...would I like some cheese with my "whine"...but I just had to vent it! But don't worry, I have a plan. I'm going to try to join some groups...like going to the OCSC (Officer and Civilian Spouse Club) And I'd like to play intramural volleyball...but I have to find information on that. I will hopefully be starting work in the next 2 weeks or so. My paperwork is close to clearing...FINALLY! So hopefully things will start looking up.
It was just one of those nights...Taylor said..."uh oh, you got out your blanket". That's a sure sign :) It's just comforting though...it hangs on the end of the bed for needed occasions. Taylor says it makes him feel like a real grown man when his wife is sleeping with a baby blanket. Haha. But I don't bring it out much.
Oh and to top it off...I just went in the fridge, grabbed a water bottle of Crystal Light, and took a few big drinks to swallow my medicine only to look down (after I drank it) and realize there was mold growing all down the inside of the water bottle and floating around in the water. GROSSS!!!!
Here's to a better tomorrow! And I hope everyone had a great start to twenty, ten!
I love and miss you, Katie!! Wish I could run over there and give you a hug. Things will really start to pick up when you get your job. Let's Skype soon! FB me with a date, and hopefully my power will be on! :)
ReplyDeleteLove you Katie!! I hope today has been a better day for you! I'm so proud of how strong you've been over there so far! I want a skype date too, missy! Only thing is my parent's computer is the one with the webcam, so hopefully on a weekend when I stay there! Miss you!
