and..we're back!

So, I've been REALLY busy!
I moved temporarily into my parent's house while I get licensed and find a job as my lease expired and I didn't need another year there. ICK!
Poor mike helped, bless his heart! I don't have anything but books, but I have a LOT of books! He ended up driving six hours with the rest of us!
We got in a little tiff, the WORST we've ever had. It came down to predeployment AGAIN. (raise your hand if you're shocked) We ended up yelling and crying. He felt like his time was being wasted (the best way he could put it, not that helping me is a waste!) and that I didn't know how much doing nothing meant. Well, now I do. things were fine soon after, as they always are! <3
I think he's feeling it, and I KNOW I am! We have X months left. BLECH!
He doesn't have orders yet, so I'm trying not to worry too much, but he knows where he's going and when.
He has field all this month, and then he comes back, has a couple weeks, and then has to pack for Iraq! EEK! TOO CLOSE TOO CLOSE!
Apparently, they pack early. YIKES!
so.. it's coming, rapidly approaching. I'm feeling uneasy, but I'll be okay. I've finally got some hobbies and stuff. I'm not where I want to be, but i'm getting there and I've got some things to keep me busy and distract me.
I think he got me hooked on Call of duty 4 as well. GO GET IT!
In the meantime, I'm here for the weekend, as he's got field for the next few weeks. We've just been spending time together. Doing little things- taking walks, sleeping, watching movies (DO NOT go see PS I love you! I BAWLED! It's an awesome movie, but not if you're in a position to feasibly lose your loved one! EEK!) and we even made sundaes! I'm not sure I've ever laughed so much. Making some good memories to hold on to.
oh, and my OTHER brother is now wanting to join up! AND daddy is considering UN Retiring. GOOD LORD! oh, and it may be feasible for me in the next few years to join up- they'll pay for my PhD, guarantee an internship which could get me into where I want to go, AND I'll get a good job. We'll see.. that's a ways off.
And so... we continue.
