Our life in six by twelve...

Our life fits in 6 feet by 12 feet. Yes, that's our life. Alright, fine- I am a exaggerating a little, but everyone we own fits in a uhaul trailer!

I rented a uhaul today for a "dry run". It was actually fun! I got to drive the trailer home by myself from uhaul, it was nice to get a feel for things before I embarrassed myself in front of anyone important. Well, it wasn't like that at all! I drove that sucker like a pro and my car handled the load even better. 930 miles here we come!!

I have spent the last few days trying to set up the utilities for the new house! Sooo much stress, but thanks to family (and a cheaper moving option) we are going to be able to pull it off with a few dollars to spare... well, more like more money for bills, but at least we will make it down there!

I am getting re motivated! Things seemed like they were impossible and it's especially hard when I don't get any letters during the week, but family has helped me find the light at the end of the tunnel (while still reminding me that this WILL NOT be easy).

I have enrolled for the University of Phoenix! Although I will only be taking general ed classes, I hope to be able to apply to nursing school when we get to our first duty station. I have applied for several different grants and got a sum of $8500 per semester! So, school is paid for! I just need to decide what I really want to do.

Cole is doing great! He is sick every few days with something new and everyday a new part of his body hurts, but he scored Expert or Sharpshooter two weeks ago on his BRM- aka Basic Rifle Marksmanship. He was set to get Archive and his DS (drill sergeant) knew he was going to get the perfect 40/40 score, but Cole's gun jammed and his missed 8 targets while trying to get the gun working again. Thanks Army, Thanks for the guns that jam...

He has taken 3 minutes off of his run time, has lost about 30 pounds, and has made battle buddies (friends) with a lot of the other guys in his platoon. He phased into Blue today, which means only three weeks left! Yay for three weeks! Ya can't beat the feeling!

Anyways, there isn't much to talk about tonight. It's late and I have my own pre-birthday party to attend to tomorrow and possibly a bowling tournament!

Goodnight someone, anyone?
