This is my first Thanksgiving with my husband. It's also the first time I am making the entire meal myself and I am loving every single moment. As the lamb is marinating and the sweet potato wedges are baking in the oven, I find myself remembering how much I have to be thankful for. This past year has held many changes and challenges but I would never change a thing. I got engaged and married my Mr. Perfect and our marriage is proving to be my greatest...read more

One more day. Just one more day of class. One last briefing. One last time sitting in a windowless, locked room with horrible florescent lights. HOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAHHOOAH It's now time for me to gather all my gear (where are those magazine holders?!) for turn in, prep my Class As, hand over all my textbooks (some where never used, go figure), finish clearing with Finance, sign my 1059, and get this graduation show started! I'll...read more

New shift, new CPT. Said CPT took a three hour breakfast break on what turned out to be a 7 hour shift. I took a 30 minute break and got reamed for it. Seriously? I think I just mentally PSC'd the heck out of here.

Why must BOLC end at the end of college football season? Why could it not start ohhhh, a month earlier so I could catch the final few games? *Hides head in hands and sobs.* Now that I am married, it can be tough at times to choose which Big 12 team to cheer for. Go Huskers or Go Pokes? Oh, the hardship! This past weekend was OSU's homecoming and because of my work schedule, I could not fly back to Oklahoma to go to the game. *Again, hides head in hands and sobs.* BUT...read more

This past week and the next I will be out in the field with the AIT soldiers. It's not as bad as it sounds, trust me. I arrive at Site Maverick ready to work at 2330 and thankfully leave whenever my TOC is done briefing their products and they've been properly chewed out. It makes for a really long day, but I find it so rewarding in the end. I am the "Assistant S2" for Delta TOC. I give my title quotation marks because really what I do is act as a...read more

Did I just date myself a little bit? The Goonies was one of my all time favorite movies as a kid! Looking back, I think what I enjoyed most about it was the sense of adventure with your best buds. This may be a bit of a stretch but BOLC has been, in some ways, quite the adventure and the friends I've made along the way have made me smile and kept me sane. Since I only have three and a half weeks left here at Fort Wegotcha, here's a look back at the times I've spent...read more

The rundown of my day: -Found out there is now a new PT doctrine. No more sports PT. No more buddy runs. Less running in general. More stretching. Lots and lots of stretching. Seriously. A Major spent a solid five minutes instructing us on the proper form for the Bend and Reach, something I haven't done since Basic Training. Which was almost 4 years ago. -Spent 8.5 hours staring at Power Point slides. While being tortured by death by Power Point,...read more

Dun-nuuh-nuh...dun-nuh-nuh-nuh... Please let me not be the only person who hears "The Final Countdown" and thinks of Gob from Arrested Development (aka the greatest TV show ever). I digress. My point is that I have less than ONE month left of BOLC! 4 weeks to be exact and that's including another four day weekend! Oh my goodness, I am soooo thrilled!!! Say it with me now..."It's the final countdown!" Enjoy the...read more

Yes, I adore my husband. So when a four day weekend presents itself, I spend every moment with him. The worst part is saying goodbye at the airport, flying back alone, and coming back to an apartment that has no one to hug. The best part is making plans to see him again.
