Before the long dark silence

As some of you have already been informed, I am moving yet again. Where, why, how, and when are all good questions. I'll answer them in kind: South Carolina, because Jesse's training is rerouting, in a car with a trailer, on Monday.
So before I disappeared from the net for an indeterminate amount of time I thought I'd put up the last documented, hodge-podge, bits of my short stint in Spokane.



This is what happens when the wife gets sick...
















I like to watch Jesse do/make stuff (like the trailer) through the window.



Jesse broke my favorite wooden spoon while trying to get the trailer wheels ready to stick onto the trailer. (T^T)

Learning Curve

Learning to live with one new person 24/7 is more difficult than 2 or more. It's kinda odd, but I really think it's true. The mindset is different; and you can trade off your attentions and time so you don't get 'sick' of anyone.

Or at least that's what I've come to believe in the last 5 months.

I've been married for 5 1/2 months and have spent round about 3 of those without my husband being around every day. Now that he's home more we're learning how to deal with each other... or something... the mind meld has only just begun *random maniacal laughter and lightning bolts*

Some days are tougher than others; days like today wear me out completely. Both of us are trying so hard to make the other person happy that we end up flattening the object of our affection with the passionate and strong intentions. Up, down, up again, down again, loop de loop de Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Get me off this crazy thing!
At least I'm reassured by everyone, bar none, that this part is the hardest. If it got twice as hard I think I'd turn Jesse's church shirt into a white flag and go out Lady of Shalott style all epic and slightly emo.

In reality though I have no reason to complain or bemoan or whatever it is I'm doing here. I have food, warm and clean place to live, running water, a husband who loves me and has the desire to take care of me and make me happy, I'm returning to a state resembling healthy and we have overabundant provisions enough to refer to them merely as 'crap'.
So, I dust off and hang up the over used phrase "It's all good".

Recent Discoveries

I'm discovering new things about myself and those around me everyday, I hope to continue this trend well into my old age.

However, most recently I've discovered 4 very important things.
1. There is no safe place from which to scream out your every emotion just to clear your inner slate; someone somewhere is bound to hear you and tell someone else.
2. I have more pet peeves than I thought.
3. There is a time limit for everything, even if no one is aware of it.
4. For every Today there is a Tomorrow that turns it into a Yesterday in which all the dramas that consumed you are now silly and unimportant and that little thing you didn't pay attention to at the time is revealed as a turning point.

My Hubbie's Hands

For those of you who are curious here are a few of the better pictures of Jesse's FAM hands.

My First House! Yay!

life bites back

I haven't had time to get a video up, but I will eventually! Maybe once I can get some things looking somewhat organized. *laughs* And I don't even have kids! 

Jesse's gone for a few weeks again, only this time he's holed up in some dorms less than 2,000 miles away from me. I'm very busy. You wouldn't think it, but I am. I run errands all day and do uniform stuff and track down paperwork. Yay! 

Oh and I had a blunder with the wash machine. Apparently the dish 'detergent' they gave me at the housing office was not for Machine washers. 

I'm super excited for today though! I'm going to a Messianic Synagog to see how different they are from the Church of Christ. They're beliefs and stuff seem to be the exact same from what I read about the one here in Spokane. I like learning new stuff! 

Anyways that's all for now! Time to make more banana bread! Buwahahahahaha!

Long time no blog

Sorry it's taken me so long to get online. Due to some timing issues and the pressures of being a military wife in transition I've not really cared about keeping my blog up or anything other than "OMG I have to get a hold of Jesse's superior and fix the pay AGAIN!" and boxes... and packing an explorer to the gills... and driving across the U.S.... oh and setting up a house. 

The last part is kind of fun. I can't wait to get the blue christmas lights up in the bedroom and hang the ink painting and asian fans we forced in with the rest of our stuff. 

I never realized how expensive it is to 'start'. Between filling the cabinets with food and the random little necessities you don't think of until you realize you don't have one (i.e. a screw driver, door mat, step stool, ect.) one spends at least a grand. This is totally not mentioning a bed and other furniture type trappings that tend to be needed in a home. 

Our house looks painfully like a bachelors pad at the moment, complete with full sink and piles of clean and dirty clothes. We're missing some pretty funky things in the furniture department. For example, we have a table without chairs, a 3 door cubby that I'm not really sure what we needed it for other than to make the back of the Explorer look more like a stage on Tetris, a foot locker to go at the end of our futon mattress that's on the floor. To top off the look with have shelves that are made of undressed plywood and cinder bricks. At some point I plan on getting some black or white contact paper and a few yards of three or four different asian fabric patterns and fixing them up to look less like poor young bachelor/newly wed-ish stuff.

Yeah that's pretty much it.
