correction

For the record: in my haste, i failed to actually re-read my message. Katar is actually spelled Qatar, and is in the Middle East near Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Most likely Rich will be at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

one day at a time...

Hello all..I didn't realize how many people actually read my blog updates! I know it's been awhile, but i've been busy and really haven't felt like updating. Where do i begin?

I love Virginia! I really missed autumn last year when i was in Florida and i've loved being able to see the colors change here in VA. Rich and I were able to go hiking in the Shanendoah Valley one day at the beginning of October before the leaves really changed and had an amazing time hiking through the mountains. :)

I love the military! But i hate my job. This past week i went TDY to shepard AFB in texas for CASF (contingency aeromedical staging facility) where i did training for my upcoming deployment. Parts of it sucked, like the lack of sleep, but the week re-affirmed the reason i joined the military and gave me even more inspiration to put my package in for flight nursing (which i will be eligible for by the time i get back from my deployment). I am so not excited about going back to work again...knowing i will be bored out of my mind. Oh well...i have plenty of stuff going on besides work.

I started my Masters, and i hate it! It's really not that bad but i hate writing pointless paper after paper and doing tons of research. I am doing well so far though, and i know it's the right thing to do.

I'm Moving! I'm really sick of living paycheck to paycheck and never getting anywhere with my loans, etc, so one of my friends (another nurse) and i are moving into a two bedroom apartment here. Though i love my little apartment, i will be saving almost $ 800/month and i really can't pass that up. Also, it will be nice to have a roommate when Rich is deployed to Katar and I won't be able to talk to him as much as i do now. :) I move in on the 5th of November, and start saving money in january!

Well that's the quick and dirty..Rich and i are planning on going to AZ the 18th of November-24th and cannot wait to see everyone. Hope this finds everyone happy and health.
