Welcome to 2024. In 2023 I was living in Virginia, then I moved to Hawaii in March and my whole life changed. I met this amazing woman who just so happened to live in Florida. She visited me in July, and in August I moved to Florida to be closer to her. Then just a few weeks into my new job 83 people were laid off, but fortunately, I wasn't one of ( Read more... )

What do I even say? It's a couple months shy of 2 months before my last journal entry. So much has changed since those days. In 2011 I was still an airman in the Air Force just trying to figure things out.

You know part of me still thinks this isn't going to happen. So much of my life has been to get to the point to where I really serve my country by deploying, that I think that one more hurdle will occur and I won't get to go.
