let's face it, i can't sleep. my body is filled with excited-ness... even though my eyes are heavy as hell.
i went onto my portal to check if his orders carried over to mine (i doubted they would) and when i got to the page i was looking for... it showed that i had orders too! which means we don't have to apply for joint spouse. which means we will be leaving the same day. which means things are going to be a lot smoother. i still can't believe this is happening. germany? for real? oh yes.
yesterday, at the staff meeting, rodriguez (a guy in my squadron) stopped by to do something and came by and said "you're lucky" and i said "why...?" and he said "you'll see. you're lucky. trust me". and i tried to get it out of him but he just walked away. so then i just forgot about it. but NOW it makes sense. here's the scoop: his wife is also military and she works in MSS. her job is putting in orders that come down from MAJCOM into the system. so, she is the first person to know about ANYONE'S orders. which means, she told her husband and he told me "you're lucky". i solved the puzzle. i can't wait to kick his ass tomorrow for not telling me.
my supervisor has handed me a whole plateful of tasks/opportunities. he is "beefing" me up so he can put me in for Airman of the Quarter. which would be really nice to get before i go to my next base. my next base will decide if i get senior airman below-the-zone (promoted to E-4 six months early) so i'd like to go there with a chaulked-full list of bullets.
i'm really nervous. i have never been east of the mississippi, so moving to another country... across the atlantic is pretty crazy. i was shaky excited when my husband told me and when i asked him if he was excited he says "ehh, yeahhh". he doesn't care where he gets stationed, he would truthfully be happy with anywhere the air force put him.
we will be moving in during christmas so i will probably keep the decorations up until february. i need a good solid month of christmas decor. whew.
it does kind of suck that we'll be gone for three years. we probably won't come back during that time so i won't see you in what will seem like forever. you could always get married and then i would HAVE to come home. but who knows, maybe we will be making sooo much money and we'll find some cheap airline tickets and make it home one year. :) haha.
this year is exciting. i turn twenty-one. i come home in june. we are going to hawaii (sometime before we leave). i just became lead PTL for my squadron (which means i lead our workout sessions). germany in nine months!
wow, it's two in the morning. oh well, i'll survive off of a few hours of sleep for this one day. (maybe)
