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... )

With a surprising outcome, I packed up all of my things at the house in only about four hours.  That time also included me hauling everything into the garage and taking apart my old bookshelf and my bed.  I also, somehow, managed to literally drag both my coffee table and my dresser into the garage by myself--no small feat, lemme tell ya.  I can  ( Read more... )

After completing two chapters of physics homework, I decided to continue on my path of spiritual enlightenment, so to speak. Just a fair warning to anyone reading, if you're offended by any and all that is religious or not supportive of others' beliefs, then please don't make any comments on this. However, if you have some insights, or something ( Read more... )

I'm going to blame the following on the book I just finished reading, "The Five Things I Can't Live Without". While it's definitely not unheard of for me to read, it's become quite rare and infrequent for me to actually read something cover to cover. In fact, I have four unfinished books awaiting my return. The book from today though, I really ( Read more... )

So, my mock STA-21 officer interview was on Friday. I found out there are only three of us from my command applying this year, and rumor has it that one of the other two is likely to drop out. That bodes well for me, being that we're ranked by our CO, but I can't imagine giving up at this point--we're so closeThe interview was done by a board of ( Read more... )

All forseen problems aside, I'm glad to be back in San Diego. While I was waiting for my ride (my old supervisor), two Navy guys approached me at the airport. They saw I had a seabag with me and asked if I had just gotten out of boot camp. Hah, defintely not. We chatted for a while and both of the guys were really friendly and polite. One of ( Read more... )

Teddy came over last night and we watched Donnie Darko. It was the first time I'd seen it and I must admit, it was very...odd. It's one of those movies you need to watch more than once to actually understand what's going on and to pick up on all of the symbolism. But, it was still pretty enjoyable as hanging out with Teddy seems to be ;) It's ( Read more... )

I had watch last night from 2230 until 0630 this morning. Guh. So tired after that. I had the day off today to rest up. I did a little writing in my own personal book when I got back to the room before I crashed in my bed.

Something good came out of it standing watch though! I finished reading Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult! It was a great ( Read more... )

Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult is my new book obsession. I've had it since before Christmas and have let two other people borrow it, but I just haven't gotten around to reading it myself. Well, considering I had 16 hours of watch standing this weekend, I decided to crack it open, finally ( Read more... )
