Where to start...

I want to try out this whole blogging thing...but have NO idea where to start. I am a very new military wife, got married in February but I just moved in with my husband in May so I feel even newer at this than I am. lol I moved from Florida to Washington, I miss my family SO much! I knew I would miss them of course, but I didn't realize it would be this hard. Tylor has been awesome this whole time, he never gets aggravated when I'm really homesick...and trust me, it's been a lot! lol I'm doing better now though, the first 2 or 3 weeks were horrible though. Especially coming from an extremely close family. As soon as I got here I was automatically ready for Tylor to be stationed somewhere else, but the good ol military doesn't work like that so I gotta stick it out until they say we can live somewhere else. I still have my bad days where I really miss home but I have more good days than bad. I've met a few really nice people, I haven't been able to actually hang out though since I'm still waiting for my car to get shipped up here. Being at this house all day while Tylor is at work does make me a little stir crazy sometimes. Once I have my car it'll be better though. I can't wait to find a job here. I am going to try my hardest to find a job other than waitressing, but of course I'll take what I can get. I am also wanting to pick up on some college classes. I feel soooo behind now :/ I want to take a class on medical billing so I have a little more experience in working at a doctors office. Although I don't think I will ever have as much fun or have it as easy as I did back home It'll be hard to find another fun job like Azteca and working in my stepdads office. Me and Tylor have done quite a bit since being here, the second day we got here we made a 6 hour drive to pick up Jaeger..a little Norwegian Elkhound. I know its crazy and people probably think I am obsessed with my dog but I LOVE HIM! lol he has made being away from family sooo much easier! I don't know what I would do without him. Just last Saturday we rescued a kitten, we named him Miester. He wasn't very socialized but after just an hour of being at home he started coming out of his shell. Jaeger loves him, always following him around and grooming him. Tylor and I have also started working out together...he puts me to shame but I am still pretty proud of myself lol hopefully I can stick with it. Working out is such an easy habit to get into, but if you miss a few days its just as easy to get out of the habit of going. I need to find a workout buddy...actually I just need to find FRIENDS! lol Well, thats some of the background over the last few months, hopefully I can actually keep up with the blogging :)

  1. Well I knew this but i do like this post. :) you are off to a great start.:)
    also yea know I think I told you but if we make plans in advance we could hangout bc I can get the car from thomas. If you worked at the Azteca backhome.. wow I love being able to say that since we are from the same place and stationed in the same place. anyways there is once here so if nothing else that might help you get started. also have you heard of MYCAA?? let me know I got some info I can give you.. also I know how hard it is to make friends specially good friends here. Thomas and I have meet quite a few ppl in our few years here. But a lot of them have screwed us over so please be careful.. this is not the good ol south and ppl are not always nice or considerate and what not here. Just a warning. and just fyi Ft Lewis and Mcchord are like Hood. Easy to get stationed here but VERy hard to get out. Thomas have been here 4 years and we will be here atleast another 2. :( So I find it best to stay busy. I am always here and I will be sure to incite you to the stuff I go to and if your interested GREAT if not thats cool. I try to not bugg you about hanging out... I just have been through what your going through so I know it helps to have friends and get out of the house.
    ok I am done ranting. l0l

  2. You've been such a big help since I've gotten here and very welcoming which is so comforting. I didn't know you could get Thomas's car but I will remember that from now on! I was suppose to get my car here like 2 months ago lol I kind of came here with a bad attitude automatically thinking I would hate it since it "wasn't home" lol which wasn't good for me to be so negative. But I am doing a lot better now and have pretty much accepted the fact that we are probably going to be here for a few more years....even though I am secretly crossing my fingers some miracle happens and we get somewhere else lol I just gotta make the best of it. I haven't heard of MYCAA I don't think. Any information would be great! Hopefully we can get together sometime this week or this weekend and finally hang out! Something always comes up for one of us lol Anyways, thanks again for being so welcoming here. Its so nice to have someone thats from HOME
