I am getting so terribly excited for Scott's arrival.  We are in the single digits now on the countdown and the time is just flying by!  I am keeping very busy and work and preparing for the move, so I don't have much time to sit down and worry about everything, which is a good thing in my world.  Lots of good-byes coming up - I am planning a trip to Buckley this weekend, and spending Memorial Day visiting some friends up here in the north that I don't see very often.  Then I have lunches booked all next week with work friends.  I don't like the good-bye part of moving...

Starting to let go...

My last drill was this past weekend.  Kinda funny - we were in Yakima for an SRP.  It was sort of the WAARNG saying "Yep, we are determined to get one more trip to YUCK-ima out of you before we let you go!"

Meg, one of the lieutenants, and I carpooled over together along with Jane.  A small group of us went out dancing and had a few drinks on Saturday night after the duty day was done.  It was fun, but a late night made getting up early the next day pretty tough.  I have been tired most of this week as a sort of domino effect.  Today, I'm feeling better, though.

I'm excited for the next phase.  I will likely have to work for a year - just until we get the house squared away and the wedding paid for.  Oh, yeah, and until I get a new car.  Sammy is truly on her last legs.  When I get to the point with a car that each morning is a roulette of will it start or won't it, then it's time to trade up.  But I digress.

I think I will work full-time and go to school part time, maybe even online courses.  I need to get my math back up to speed before I can think about applying for the engineering program.  Then, hopefully after the wedding, I can cut my work hours WAAAAAY back and go to school full time.  Only time will tell if that option will be available.
