Let's see. The last time I was here, my husband (Joshua) had been laid off. Well, the job market in San Angelo isn't exactly stellar (as it is in most places, I'm sure), and he had been talking about reenlisting active duty for some time, so he joined... wait for it... wait for it... the ARMY! Yeah...my husband, the Marine, joined the Army. He wanted Intelligence, specifically Linguist, but since he was prior service, they only offered him lame-o jobs. He decided to go with 25U, or Signal Support Systems Specialist. He signed his contract and left MEPS on Dec. 24, 2008. He's been at Ft. Gordon in Augusta, GA ever since. He's just about to graduate AIT, but he doesn't have orders yet, so we don't know when or where we're going for our first duty station. So now I'm an Army wife. I'm pretty excited.
As far as school goes, I've been plugging along. Since we're moving, I'm not going to be able to finish my degree at ASU. I've been looking at online schools, and am leaning toward Ashford University. If everything works out with them, I could have my degree by the end of the year, which would be AWESOME! :) Also, if we find out where we're going to be stationed soon enough, I'll see if there's a school in the area and apply there. I'm just REALLY ready to be done with school and start a career. I'm tired of Joshua being the only one working. I'm not feeling very productive lately. I feel like a huge mooch.
So losing weight...yeah...not really happening. I've been working out regularly. I've even gotten to the point where I want to workout and actually miss it if I don't workout for a couple of days. I joined Gold's Gym. I workout with my brother everyday, and that's pretty cool. We've been hanging out a lot since Josh has been gone. So I've been working out, but haven't lost anything. I got down to 233, but I'm back up to 250. I know it's my diet. I don't eat enough. I only eat like twice a day. I'm going to try to see a dietician whenever we get to our duty station...I'm so friggin frustrated with it. I've talked to one of my doctors about the possibility of either lapband or gastric bypass surgery, but I'm not sure. I kind of feel like those options would be giving up, like I'm not strong enough to do it on my own...but maybe I'm not...I just don't know.
I've decided to keep up this blog, because it will be a good way to keep my family up with what's going on while we're away.

Welcome back!!! Glad to see you on here!
Do you remember Joshua, our other blogger member of the trifecta?
Well, he's currently in Basic Combat Training! He decided to join the National Guard!
I was non-select for the Navy... considering the Army or NG... but will update my blog soon.
Keep this one updated! :)
Yeah, I remember Joshua. I tried to look at his blog, but I couldn't. That's so great that he's in basic!
What's non-select?
Good to hear from you!
