I've jumped ship, so to speak. Find me on Wordpress.

Turning 26 years old has not been the most noticeable of transitions, nor have any major life changes occurred. Since my birthday on Friday though, I can honestly say I have been the most depressed and disheartened that I have been in years. I have been absolutely anxiety-ridden and lonely. My husband has been out of touch for several days now and ( Read more... )

A new college term started today, and I am thankful that this class, Research Methods, is the last class that I need for my Masters of Aeronautical Science ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a complete travel disaster.  I was so exhausted when I arrived in Vegas from my five and a half hour flight from Philadelphia, where I spent Christmas visiting my parents, and all I wanted was to get on a plane for 45 minutes and go home to San Diego.  Right after I sent Corey an email and called my mom, the Southwest agents told us ( Read more... )

It always puts a smile on my face to receive emails from my husband, but it's even more special to me when I get things like this: "I love you Amber, I love you more than anything in this world. I am the luckiest man alive and I truly believe it. You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me and I know it. I will always try to be worthy of ( Read more... )

Our filing cabinet has pretty much seen its last day.  It only has two drawers, but I can basically not access the one on the bottom because it's so heavy and, unfortunately, warped.  Guess whose drawer that is?  Why, yes, the hoarder currently on deployment.  I've been going through the top drawer, which contains all of my "important" documents, ( Read more... )

Last night, I got an email from my instructor letting me know that all of my assignments have been graded and I earned an A for the term.  My overall average was a 95%, so not bad.  :)  I'm free and clear for the rest of the term and don't have to do anything else.  That's a load off of my mind.  And, I'm happy to say that I never have to take ( Read more... )

So since I spent most of the morning exercising my butt off, I figured I'd spend my afternoon sitting on my butt.  ;)  While I did do that, it was constructive.  I did a whole bunch of reading and some replying on my class discussion board, read the last chapter in my textbook, and then worked on my last assignment for next week.  It took me a ( Read more... )

Just found out from Corey this morning that his command gave everyone an incorrect deployment mailing address, so all care packages are going to be returned to sender (hopefully).  I've already sent 3 care packages out, and now the chances of Corey receiving anything for Christmas are much smaller.  I feel so bad for all of those deployed sailors ( Read more... )

Corey has been deployed for about a week now and I've already faced my first crisis. The furnace stopped working on Friday, so I spent the weekend cuddled in a fleece blanket in my 50 degree house.  Contrary to popular belief, it does get cold in Southern California, especially when it rains and you live in a house that was built in the 1940s with ( Read more... )
