Crap, it’s really been almost two months since I last wrote?! I feel shame…
Well then, let’s settle in for an update.
We ended up failing our inspection, so they’re going to be coming back near the end of the year for another one. It’s not really a bad thing (since our section wasn’t the one that failed the base), just annoying. I’ve been approved for my corrective eye surgery, so by the end of the year I should be able to see again! Or if not 100%, at least not be totally blind without my glasses on. Also, I only need three more classes to get my CCAF (Community College of the Air Force) degree, so I’ll have an associates in my current job. Which doesn’t do me much good except to say “Hey look! I have a degree!”. But still, it’s free education. I’d be silly to pass it up. Also, once all that’s done, I’m going to enroll at University of Maryland to earn my English degree. I was going to do Russian Studies as my minor, but it’s not available for the on-line classes. So it looks like Biology is it…which means free tutoring from Mom! (I love you…)
Let’s see…what else…
If you’ve read Cara’s blog (which you should, there are new pictures!), then you already know about Patrick’s grandpa (his dad’s dad). He died August 26th, after going to the hospital on the 25th with a brain hemorrhage. No one was expecting it…came completely out of nowhere.
Not too much is going on right now, however, I did promise Mom pictures of the house. After a whole bunch of cleaning and organizing (and recleaning and reorganizing after Cara decided to “help”), we have pictures!
Here’s a picture of our neighborhood (we live at the end of a cul-de-sac).
Our house!
Backyard…definitely smaller than the one we had in Louisiana.
Cara’s room, complete with Secret Base! There are two closets on the left and one on the right.
Our room, with kitties on the bed! We have two closets on the right.
Our new dressers! Custom-made in the Alley by the Turks. I love them so…
Living room! Sorry it’s so dark…we need to get a lamp for the corner. That door leads to the backyard.
Other side of the living room…I still have a little organizing to do.
Dining room! And yes…that’s another door to the backyard. Why we need two with such a small yard is beyond me.
Kitchen! Not really that exciting, but still!
There are no pictures of the bathroom or laundry room, mostly because the first has already been in a bunch of Cara pictures, and the second is just…rather boring.
Oh, but we’re not done yet! You know how cats are supposed to hate water…?
…apparently, Kisa didn’t get that memo.
“Racing penguin will be mine…”
And I think we’re done for now. I’ll try to be better about this…but with the craziness at work right now, I can’t make any promises.
Away!
