Ok.
It's been far too long since my last blog post. I never even think about it during the week. On weekends, however, it hits me over the head. Why don't I post on weekends then, you ask? Because I want to spend as much time as possible with the hubby since the ship enjoys keeping him longer than I'd like on the week days. That said, he's playing video games right now, so I think I have a second to write down some of my thoughts.
Last blog I was a bit upset/anxious about going to Sasebo, Japan. Turns out I had nothing to be anxious about. Want to know why?
Because we can't even go! Turns out I was right to begin with and being diabetic I can't be stationed over there with him. In fact, overseas is kinda doubtful at all. Instead we're going to Norfolk, Virginia! I'm definitely more excited about this. Most people hear Virginia and cringe, I don't know if they've had bad experiences with the place, or just can't imagine being in one of the more historical locations in the US. Personally I can't wait to be able to spend weekends in DC, seeing the sites. I've never been on the east coast, so this will be a giant adventure for me.
I will be leaving Hawaii on the 5th of November to head back to Wisconsin for a couple months. Carl will be leaving the same day (if everything works out right) to go to school for a couple weeks. He'll rejoin with me later, but, hopefully, I can manage to get into some trouble before!
The one sad part of this whole moving situation is that we have to leave our kitten behind. I guess she'd be considered a cat at this point since she's about a year old. We've weighed all the options and it's just not fair for her to go from a warm environment to somewhere thats cold. Plus with the costs involved, she's better off finding a new ohana here. We are, however, taking the dog. Hershey has grown more on us than the cat, and I'd be devistated if we had to leave him.
If only moving were an easy task. We've scheduled movers, inspections, car things. And yet I'm still nervous. Spending two months living out of a suitcase is one thing, but hoping none of our stuff is damaged at the same time is completely different.
Hopefully I'll be on here more often to keep people informed. That is if they want to be informed!
