Life has been crazy busy. September and October were full of work events. That meant plenty of skipped lunches, weekends worked, and alarms slept through :) By the time October 13th had rolled around, exhausted doesn't begin to describe how I felt. As exhausted as I was, I live for the craziness that comes with event planning. There is something about the adrenaline rush of getting everything prepped the morning of an event that I can't get enough of. Sure we had some hiccups (like when I accidentally stabbed myself in the leg with a pair of scissors) but over all I think everything was a success! Now, the planning for next year begins! :)
I have to give a shout out to my husband for putting up with my overly tired, slightly grumpy self for a month. He was so awesome and supportive (and made sure we always had chocolate in the house!)
We are finally down to one month until the big move! It's hard to believe that John has been here for three years and I've been here for almost two. Moving up here wasn't the easiest thing I've done. I quit a job I loved, left behind some amazing friends and family, and started all over in Alaska. The move did provide a great opportunity for me to grow as a person, and I've met some amazing ladies who have helped me figure out this military spouse thing :) Alaska has been full of a lot of adventures. From hikes, to motorcycle rides to playing dodge the moose on the Glenn Hwy. I don't think there is a thing I would have changed about my time here. I survived Alaska- the good, the bad, and the ugly. If I can survive that, I can survive any place the Air Force sends us :) I do have to admit... This Florida girl is pretty excited about California!!
We'll be driving across the country with two pets- twice.That should be fun, right? The vet recommended taking Hannah on short car rides to get her used to being in the car. Biggest mistake ever! Within 10 minutes of a car ride, I'm silently trying to talk myself out of stuffing the cat in the trunk or pulling over and letting her out of the car. Eventually, I cave and let her out of her carrier- then we have Hannah the curious cat.
We'll be visiting the vet very soon to get Hannah set up with some nice drugs for the trip. :)
We are still scrambling to finish up the basement. The bathroom is 99% complete and we have a few things here and there to do in the main room. With both of us working full time, its been hard to find the time and energy to finish up these projects. We are almost there!!
Today, John and I celebrate our 3 month anniversary! If the last three months are any indication of what our life together is going to be like... we better buckle up because its going to be a crazy ride!
