I haven’t written because it’s been one thing after another. I ended up with a nice cold in which I couldn’t beat. Good thing is I was able to beat off another sickness with my Activate. I must say I LOVE my immune booster!
Let’s see here; as most know I was taking classes per distance learning. Well we’re on the last week right now and all my finals are due in by Friday. I should be slightly worried but honestly I care less. Sounds bad doesn’t it? It’s only because I find these classes relatively easy.
I have come to the conclusion that I will not be taking any more classes with University of Phoenix. I have decided to wait till the spring to enroll with Southwestern University; continuing distance learning.
Second conclusion, is that I have to take some anti-depression and anxiety pills. For the first time in my life I have felt panic attacks and boy does it feel awful. They are indescribable. I don’t quite understand where they have come from. I assume that it stems from all the stresses in my life, not just recent ones. For that reason they recommended that I seek consoling. I have to see someone twice a week. I am hesitatent and am not thrilled about having to do any of three but I’ll give it a shot (I have no choice).
For the first time in my life I have felt so loved and a part of a huge family. Everyone here has been awesome. The support network here has been wonderful. So many people are often stepping in to help someone/s in need. I have never seen so much love in one little town.
My family and I have met so many beautiful people. I have been fortunate to meet women from the elders at the church to the young mothers at the Co-op (homeschool group). The Clinic has shown me a part of the Navy that I have not seen before. I guess that happens when 80% of them have at some point in their careers been attached to the Marines. One of the best parts is that with each duty station you tend leave with some of the best friendships. Boy, have I left with some great friends.
Here it is 14 years and 20+ moves and I still have friends that I met in 29 Palms. Man have they changed! I’ve seen spiritual growth in some. One friend’s son has a special place in my heart. He’s playing football now! Oh and not to mention he has facial hair! What in the world happened to my little baby?! So his mom tells me that I too have left a mark in hers and his heart. I couldn’t tell you what I’ve done to fill a spot there but whatever it may be I know I will always carry that family with me where ever I may go.
I wonder if she knows who she is. If she does, I hope to see them soon! I miss you guys. By the way that was 13 years ago. So many relationships have been built because of the military. How blessed I’ve been to have such great friends.
Life in the trailer has been wonderful! You know it only takes 10 minutes to clean house? Take that my friends! Oh and not much can be cooked in the house, so everything is healthy! Oh yeah, second base! Let’s not mention that our rent is $300, triple score! All bases loaded my friend! Next best thing; our family has become much stronger and we are working as a team! HOMERUN!!!!!
We’ve been living in this home for one month now and have found many ways of still having our space. This is only the beginning. Seriously if you haven’t done this you should. If you do, don’t go in being negative about it or it will get you nowhere.
Okay time to reflect on what’s happened in the past week. I’ll do it in bullet form.
• Not a penny to our name
• Our frig died and so did all the food in it.
• I had a break down and now taking meds
• The awning broke
• Mike is leaving to Afghanistan for 1 year
• Anthony arrived..
• We got paid! Paid half of one bill and still have money left!!!!
• God has been good to us!!!
I do have more to say but I’m going to stop there because I’m sure you’re tired of reading.
