Well I've actually broke down, something I thought I'd never do, and watched the first two Lord of the Rings. I knew Clinton really wanted to see them so the other day I was in the movie store and thought I'd rent the first one for him, you should have seen me, I was like "Excuse me sir, is this the first of the three?" I got looks from everyone like "WHAT, you don't know which is the first...damn" I actually rented it with the intention of Clinton just watching it without me because I got several other movies, but he talked me into it (I only said yes because I was tired and was planning of falling asleep during it) and then I got hooked, it was really good...I can't even believe I'm saying this, I used to think only dorks like it. So there, I got it out, I watched the first, we went the next night to rent the third and we are anxiously awaiting the DVD release of the third...
So Clinton goes back to work Monday after having a month off and he is dreading it. I should know how he feels because I once took off 3 weeks and had a terrible time going back, but strangely I'm almost jealous. I'm afraid that when he goes back, I won't have anyone to spend time with besides an infant and dog..hardly candidates for good conversation. It seems that now that I’ve gotten out of the military that my “friends” don’t seem to want to come around anymore, maybe it’s because I have a kid now, maybe it’s because they just don’t see me that often and have forgotten but I feel like I have no friends around me. Thank goodness my mom was able to come out after the birth. And then Chase just came out for a week, and now Katie is visiting on a drive through. Also I have Laura 3 ½ hours away from me, but it would be nice to have someone that I could call up and see if they wanted to go to the mall or out to lunch. There is a reunion coming up for our birth classes so maybe I’ll try, not too desperately, to make friends with another stay at home mom. We’ll see.
Audrey and I will be going home for 2 weeks in April and I’m so excited for a change of scenery!!! Also, we found out that Clinton may have to go on a deployment from June-August. I have mixed feelings about that, one, it will be sad for him to be gone and I know he will desperately miss Audrey, but we could really use the money, and I plan on going back to Illinois for the time that he is gone. So I don’t think it will be that bad, usually it is worse for the person staying behind as opposed to the person deploying so I think if I go back home we will be ok. Then Clinton will only have a year and a half left in the military. Plus if I go back home I can get a part time job because my parents will help watch Audrey. So I have a lot to look forward to and that is what is helping me get by right now.
