Updates

Ok,
   So although there a few regular readers, I have also realized friends are wondering what is happening with me, where am I moving, when I am moving, have I already done that.... well...

Here is the Update:

We got orders accompanied to South Korea (so that headache I went through, was done correctly)

The Mr. finished officers training school mid February. He did so well, they offered him a slot in EOD school (explosive ordinance disposal).

This means orders changed. He is working on the first part of the course at Ft. Lee, so no moving was necessary. Now he is going through lots of studying/learning/testing. His class of 17 will most likely dwindle down to a handful before this portion of the course is over. There are about 9-10 tests (I believe, don't quote me) that he must pass - passing being 85% +. If he does not pass one, he is done, if he does - he moves on to Florida come end of April/beginning of May.

I am working on getting a spot secured for Verizon in Fl. This is not impossible, but is stressful enough as it is, lets hope that falls into place sooner, rather than later - for my stress sanity.

I am collecting boxes to move in, and bought packing tape yesterday - it has to officially begin sometime.

I am trying to wrap up Stampin' Up this month, and squeeze out an event that could go for April - either here, or in Bend ; )

Karen - my roommate from Arcata, is moving to Portland!

Believe it or not, the irony in it happening as  I am leaving is bittersweet, however she called me a few weeks back (while I was in VA actually) to tell me the news. It was top secret until March, but it is really happening. She will be moving up here at the end of March. So the blessing is that I will have her here for about a month, a month I can use to enjoy our time together and I assume with her type A personality, she will be one to help pack and clean, despite if I tell her not to.

I may be planning a fund raising event with Stampin' Up products/cards for a co-workers church organization. I laid out costs/options to them and we will see how that goes. If it doesn't work for them, then I have the information for anyone else looking to do a fundraising event (sale-a-bration is truly the perfect time for such an event).

Enough for now - today is my day off before the work week takes off, and then I shall have more stress to deal with/enjoy. Lets hope the rest of the month goes smoothly - it was a fairly rough start.
