random inklings and seldom hesitations

so yeah, it's been a while since i wrote, a lot of nothing, yet so much has happened since i wrote last. me and my hubby have split, a decision completely of my making. some things just aren't meant to happen and that just happened to be one of them. however, i have met a wonderful man and i'll just have to wait to see where that goes. my life has gone through many ups and downs over the last year, deep depressions to extreme highs of life. never anything i couldn't handle, so here i am completely content with my life for a change yet so miserable. LOL one often wonders how the two can go hand in hand, however possible it is.

sitting 8000 miles from home certainly isn't helping much, but tomorrow it will be exactly 7 months until i'm free of my obligation to the active army. i've chosen to continue a partial military career and plan to stay active reserves, i'm sure i'll will get to see alot of desert land in my future. in the meantime, i plan on moving to kansas where i can work on my criminology degree in the peace and quiet of a new state, with new adventures, a new college, my new car, and a new man. (note: my life does not revolve around this said man, however i do wish him to be close to me) not even 5 months after moving there will he get to grace the sandy lands like so many before him, but shall return a mature, brazen, man that loves me every way no man could have ever loved me before.

sometimes life hands you the most difficult of plans and therefore difficult solutions, but as i have found it's often the challenge that you do not want to face that has the better endstate. i can't say how much more mature i have become in my little time in the army, but can say that i have learned how to live a good life and to get what it is i deserve in life. i have managed to pay off all my debts, work down my student loan, find my way to an independant life, and purchase my car. all things i couldn't imagine over 4 years ago.

as my fourth year of service is winding down, i can look back and say that i have honestly learned a few things about myself, how to be, and why it was important for me to join the military. granted i'm getting senioritious horribly, but i still have my priorities straight. i have soldiers to teach, goals yet to achieve, and many more adventures to travel. i'm as equally as excited to return to a more "normal" life minus the fact that i'll be living extremely close to an army post, spending my time with an army man, and pursueing a new career. though i'm still tempted to create a life in the tattooing world and play in a band. my tempo has slowed since then.

there have only been a few other things going on in my life. I was on leave for 40 days in june/july, have 3 field problems in almost as many months, and taking a course in administration of justice. not much else has gone on.

peace, love, and jelly beans
