So we're about 4 months into the deployment and its going very well. For the most part. We got the general month of when the hubby comes home. Its not to far away and the home stretch is going to be incredibly short which makes me all bubbely inside as you can imagine :p. Distractions are key. Right now the distraction is getting my home set up..which I've been working in since he left. Almost finished and so far its looking pretty fabulous!! Here are some pictures:
Our living room when we FIRST moved in. I dont have pictures of the granny couch that WAS in there (But I do thank D's old sargent for giving it to us, that was generous of them) :
And now
And then my kitchen.
And now
and last, my bedroom. When we first moved in, No bed, nothing.
Thats about it for now! Managed to not spend over $1,000. Which we all know is nice because we arent money bags here. All I gotta do now paint my kitchen table and chairs and hang up some things. But enough about my boring progression which I owe a lot of thanks to the Pilley family. Since they handle my paycheck and are the ones who sold me most of the things that are now taking residence in my rooms :) (yes, nice USED things are just as good as overpriced brand new things Haha)
A lot has happened in the past 4 months on my neck of the woods. Me and my neighbor randomly got some new pets....no cost included!! Now usually I cant argue with free but when rats deicide to take residence in your home things gets complicated. It was pretty bad. Rat poop all over the place, I had to lock up all of my food in my fridge and microwave. They managed to come through my neighbors toilet. I had pest control come over and they laid STICKY traps out. At first none of this was to stressful. Until one of the sticky traps caught two rats and they were hitting under my fridge causing it to rattle, freaking my dog and myself out. Realizing the rat was trying to bit his tail off and took off outside when my neighbors husband came over to help me dispose of it...yea never using those again.
Heres some pictures:
Arent they cute? Dont be fooled by their cuteness. They're killers and they are annoying. Now, almost 2 months later they are still making incredibly loud noises in my walls. So loud that it wakes me up. Housing finally decided to move me and my neighbor. I'm not to excited to move and re adjust and get things organized on top of everything else. But hey..why not add to the stress list? In the end though, I rather move than die from some incurable disease that these suckers carry. Housing is most likely going to try to sway us. I liked to see them deal with this on a daily basis. No swaying here since there isn't much they can do unless they bomb our houses, tear down the walls, then re build them. I'm not going to live in a Hotel forever and pay for storage and all that. I dont know, its all to complicated. But hopefully this will all end soon.
So besides that I have been working and trying to limit my emotional days. Which really suck. What I got to look forward to?
1) Getting my license. Why cant things be easy? My neighbor/close friend took my to get my test done. yea umm not happening, We were for 3 hours for me to get processed than found out all the slots for that day were taken up. So we went to another dmv, after calling them to make sure they test, and then got told to that they dont test. Turns out we have to go to the original dmv 2 hours before they open. Well..lets hope I pass! Otehrwise life is going to suck.
2)Job searching. The family I work for is PCS'ing in Feb. There for, I'm jobless!
3) Got to get car updated. Yea, thats not looking to good.
TTFN :)
To say the least Life is stressful. Oh well, its my life and I'll manage. I better get off though. I will keep on keeping on =P
