I just got home from the South Tacoma Mazda dealership with my 07 Ford Focus, and I'm feeling really good about it! It's not a brand new car but it's pretty damn close! This is the first time I bought a car from a dealership and I gotta say the whole experience overall was PLEASANT. Everybody I talked to in that dealership was friendly and ( Read more... )

I've been out of the military for over a week now, as most of you know. I've been putting off writing this blog because I just didn't know how to write it. During the last few days leading up to my final Out Appointment I kept planning on how I'd blog about serving 5 years in the Air Force: my track to the opposite side of the world, meeting new ( Read more... )

I'm sailing away to Greece!

So far my R&R time has been pretty SWEET!!! For the first couple of days I've been lounging around Jeff's apartment trying my best to re-adjust to normal (well, as normal as an active duty military life can be) life.

Jeff and I are the proud owners of a purebred GERMAN SHEPPERD!!! His name is LEONIDAS and he was born on 18 February 2008 ( Read more... )

Friday has come and gone and I’m puppyless . The bulldog that I had my heart set on buying turned out to be fake. Here’s what happened. The owner that Jeff was communicating with told us on Thursday night that she was going to put the dog on a plane on Friday afternoon (she was located in Rome) so we’d get it by Friday evening. So we were curious ( Read more... )

A fair amount of time has passed since I last wrote ANYTHING. And I apologize to anybody who still reads my blogs for falling off the face of the earth. But I have a good explanation: five months after PCSing to Italy, my laptop went KAPUT! Yep, it died and took quite a bit of my pictures of Turkey with it. And I have been procrastinating on buying ( Read more... )
