Life Updates, X-mas Plans, Etc...
So after many twists and turns every and all doors for Chris trying to PCS, remote tour, and/or totally get out of the AF have been shut, locked forever. It is either due to his med codes, Corey's med codes, and the fact he is behind in his tech & mil career (his slot isn't funded so no one will put him in for training or awards). Hence, paperwork sumitted to get that slot funded so training can be for him. All of this equates to Chris tweaking out, he has not been "the same o' Chris" and it has been scary for me. In the end I pray that this can help Chris learn the skills to cope/deal in a healthy way when, well, when you just have to. I am always here for him but stuff like this there is nothing I can directly do, I just play the support role.
Me, meh, same o same o. Since Corey isn't active in school this yr (just the job) I seem to have free time on my hands and getting bored very quickly. Looking into belly dance classes. But will have to drive to B'ham one night a week for it. Chris and I may get into some league (pool, bowling, poker) but it has to have me home by 9:30pm at the very latest if a school night.
Yet another lesson on life's fragility: Yet another funeral to attend next week for a man in his fifties that died of cancer. Every funeral I have been to in the last 3yrs have all been cancer victims except one. This one is related to work - John V. from our business office...very sudden and fast..leaving behind a wife and 11 yr old daughter. Friday was a very quite day at work. Just sad and mad (this is taking too many people I know and I want a cure damn it!!!!)
Happier subject: Christmas Plans: Knew were going to Jax, FL but looks like we will be in Orlando. All so Chris' sis can spend time w/ her new bf (very long story but this is being pushed my his Mom who wants the daughter to hurry up and marry a naval officer..this is her 3rd or 4th naval officer she has dated). I am like whatever, don't want to rock the boat it just means less time w/ my family in Jax, more time on the road, & more vacation that I had planned on taking. We will have one day at park (his sis won the grand prize at a x-mas party which is a trip to Disney) (don't know which one yet) and they are treating us to the Animal Kingdom Lodge buffet dinner Sat. night. This will be my first x-mas I do not wake up in my own bed x-mas morning. It will be fun, I know, just had my heart set on some stuff in Jax that won't happen.
Anyone throwing in their party hat for a New Yrs Eve Party yet??? If someone hears of something give us a holla. Feel like I haven't spent quality time w/ my friends in a awhile (Chris party we were just busy w/ everyone else but visiting w/ our friends).
Anniv plans in ATL in Jan: Plan on seeing the new Cirque show - Corteo and seeing the Louvre exhibit at the High Museum. May have to skip on doing a really nice dinner but I think it is pretty cool to have a flavor of Italy (the Cirque show) and France (Louvre exhbit) on our anniv weekend. And ofcourse, will be at Masq/secretroom that night!!! Probably not staying at the Chateau this yr but will have to at least drive up to it. Words cannot describe how I am looking forward to this weekend. We really need some time away (if only for one night).
Thats all folks!!! Hope every has a very merry, happy, and safe christmas season.
