Finally Have A Date!

That's right, I finally have a date for when I am heading over to Guam to be with my husband!  BUT ...   you are going to have to wait for that exciting news while I tell you some other business!  :)


First things first:  last time I left you I told you about all the paperwork that has to be done before I go to Guam.  That is still the same!  A lot of paperwork has to happen in order for things to get rolling with the Navy.  And it always takes so much longer and is so much more difficult than you think it should be.  So what I am waiting to be able to do now are three things:  1) Get my No-Fee Passport (basically a military passport)  2)  Get confirmation on shipping the household goods to Guam.  3)  Find the best time to take the car up to Portsmouth, VA to be shipped out as well.

The No-Fee Passport is something that has to be done in VA too.  So the car and the passport may get done in the same day.  The only problem is that it has to be done on a weekday and Nina, Mom and I want to make a weekend trip of it.  So there is a scheduling thing to work out there.  

Shipping the household goods is supposed to happen on the 15th of July but I have to keep calling and checking when the paperwork has been processed to make sure that date stays the same.  That day should be a fun day though!  (note:  there is sarcasm accompanying that last sentence)

OK, now for the information that you have all been waiting for.  I have a flight out of RDU for July 31st.  It is a Wednesday morning flight and I will be getting to Guam on August 2nd at about 2am (their time).  I also have a 6 hour layover in Japan!  So if anyone has been in the Tokyo airport and has any suggestions for what to do for 6 hours please let me know!

long lost days and couch beds

So I have not been keeping up with this in the past few days considering I have been pretty busy. Thus I am going to do some quick over-views of the past few days so that I can get myself to bed. I haven't been sleeping all that well for a while now and I need to get my beauty rest. On Sunday Matthew and I went back to Grace Assembly (our old/home church) for the late service. We wanted to go back to Grace since we are doing the mission trip through them and they were having a young adult meeting after church. The young adults meeting was pretty great. We went to Forks Cafeteria in downtown Wake Forest and had a room to ourselves reserved. I love getting everyone together. There are always great conversations. After we ate we had a little talk about getting young adults going again and about this new adopt a school program that they wanted us to get involved in. I am feeling pretty siked about the adopt a school program because it is with a middle school and we would get ...

To Start Again

Hello everyone! I know, I know, it has been a REALLY long time since I last posted anything here.  We have since been in Great Lakes, IL for a little over 2 years now and I feel like we have made ourselves a comfortable home and extended group of friends that are like family in the area.  But of course, like true Navy fashion, and God's design for life, nothing goes according to plan. I thought here in Great Lakes there would be little to no chance of Matthew ever getting deployed. God had a different plan.  Long story short, he is now deployed overseas and has been for almost 3 months.  He will be back sometime around May 2019 (that's about 10 months total). I've been having a lot of thoughts about how my days and plan are escaping me and I have trouble remembering what I've did yesterday let alone last week.  And so, I've decided to try and take back up on the blogging.  Hopefully it will be therapeutic for me and as well as help me when I want to ...

worst monday ever! (5/24/10)

So as my title says, last Monday was one of the worst Mondays that I have had in a long time. It started off early in the morning, 7:30 am, and if you know me then you know that is not a good time of morning for me to be waking anyway. But that had little to do with the bad day. I had to drive up to Louisburg to get my mom's prescription from her doctor's office because she was in SC with my Nina. Nina had been in the hospital since Thursday with complications that they could not quite pinpoint. So I set out early to get the paper that would allow me to get the prescription filled so that I could meet my Aunt at 10:30 when she was going to leave for SC. About half way through my journey to the doctor's office my car started making weird noises and shaking slightly. I called Matthew with a slight air of laughter in my voice and told him that if I broke down that he would have to call in late to work. Mind you I did not think anything of it because didn't think ...
