Oh January...

Lets see, whats new?

I'm trying to post more often, can you tell? I love that we can keep in touch on this site from all over the country and love that I get to know what is going on with my kick@$$ family even though we live a life that moves and moves and moves!!
We are getting roommates. A good friend of ours and his wife are moving in with us either until they find a place of their own near us or until they go to his training class in Virginia in July. He works with Keith and she is a lawyer who is licenced in Oregon but is taking the bar for Washington in February. We're excited to get to spend more time with them. They're really good people and it will help all involved out to share rent and save some dough!! They've been bringing stuff out to our house for a week or so and are most likely going to be there full time either today or tomorrow as they have to be out of their place by Thursday!

I got a random interview call last week and have had 2 interviews for the job since then. I'm hoping to hear today if I got the job and am really hoping I did because it would be awesome!! It's a job on post with a Medical Brigade that just redeployed to the states. Its a Family Readiness Support Assistant position at the Brigade level, which is basically what I do for Keith's unit as a volunteer but at a higher level. It's a Government job, which means great pay, benefits and hours and its at a unit that's only 2 or so streets over from Keith's compound so we would still be able to see each other and such. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but I also know I'm totally qualified and have tons of experience in this and they'd be crazy not to hire me. :) We shall see. If not it's okay because I'll continue on with Keith's unit so either way I'm sure I'll survive.

Katie and Adam have gotten pretty much settled I think. It's so cool to have them close by. I'm at the Ft Lewis library now and have been texting with Katie all morning and just decided to go over there after the meeting I have today and visit her and I'm still giddy that I can do that! She lives just down the freeway from here and its soo cool!

Keith and I (and possibly our roommates) will be gone this weekend to another Marriage Retreat put on by his unit. We're going back to the same place the last one was, Skamania Lodge in Stevenson Washington. You can check it out at http://www.skamania.com/. I'm excited, even though we've already been to this location its a great place so it doesn't hurt at all to go back and its all free so who in their right mind would complain?!

Katie and I just signed up for a day trip to the Seattle Premium Outlets in February so it will be a lot of fun to go, just the 2 of us, and shop shop shop. The guys will be working so we don't even have to feel bad for leaving them home. Of course we'll have to pretend we feel bad that they have to work but our husbands are pretty smart and will probably see through us anyways!!

Ok I'm off to run errands and go to my meeting and then I'm headed home to clean the house and put together our unit newsletter!! Joy of joys.

I'm also going to finish editing our Elko Trip/Christmas/New Years photos by this weekend so I'll post the walmart link on here when they're uploaded. Be prepared...there are literally hundreds...

xoxo.
