Another weekend down the tubes

I could say nothing much happened this weekend, but on Saturday we were pretty busy up at my mom & dad's getting the basement prepared for us to move in. We are moving out furniture and the whole works. It was a lot of work and I hit my wall at about 1 pm. I got pretty whiny but once I started to see the furniture go and the progress made I was a little better. This kind of moving is boring to me (I guess 'cause it's not my stuff), but I will be excited once we can start painting and moving our things in. My brother's working in his old bedroom sheetrocking it and putting in a ceiling. He worked quickly and it pretty much done. Now my mom and I are going to paint it a fun color. I've been paint deprived living in government housing the last 4 years.

Today, Sunday, was pretty boring. We cleaned up a bunch of paperwork that needed to be filed and gone through. Eric could tell I was hitting my wall at about 1:00 and got me involved in something. When we were done with that, though, I slept!! I love taking cat naps but I feel SO un-productive most of the time. I feel lazy, but maybe I am.

But we seem to be on track with getting moved into mom & dad's by 10 Jun. These next 4 weekends will be super busy....

Road Trip!

Ok, so this was a pretty busy week. We traveled to North Dakota to see my Grandma Fran and the rest of my aunts for my Grandma's 75th Birthday. It was pretty fun. We then went up to Grand Forks to visit Keith, Kara, and Kenna Prince (they are our very good friends who we met when we all were stationed in Utah). We had a great time catching up and being silly again. Well, I guess it was mostly Kara and I being silly. Eric got a few good digs in, too. Poor Keith is the voice of maturity in that crowd most of the time! :) We also had fun meeting their daughter...who was just still cookin' when we all moved away. It sort of made me start to really think that Eric and I could handle that sort of thing....

Big Changes

I've been waiting to write a new blog entry until 10 May, which is the day I found out whether I was retained or separated from the Air Force. Drumroll, please...........I was canned. That's really ok and the longer I've had to think about it the happier I am. I'm excited, too. It's a good thing for me because it ends a long struggle I've been having about having to make this decision for myself. And I can't forget Eric -- it will be good for him because we won't have to worry about deployments, moving to unwanted places, and I'll be happier and more relaxed.

So, I'll be in until the end of September. I will probably start looking for jobs later this summer (don't ask me what I'm going to look for -- no clue right now). And, we're moving in with my folks. Yeah, I know. But we have a time limit on how long we'll live there -- May 2007. That's when Eric will graduate from Western Dakota Tech and he'll find a job somewhere. I'll follow him. But it will be a good thing that my folks will let us crash their peaceful existence. Otherwise, we'd be in a tough spot.

The picture I put on here is our house....it's the house we're saying goodbye to around 15 Jun. It doesn't really fit but I needed a picture.
