Don't want to get my hopes up buuuut....
I hope this is really going to happen, I really really really do! So yesterday morning I thought Kyle is for sure going to Iraq sometime next year. Then he came home for lunch talking about a chance for him to go to Egypt for a year instead! I thought that sounded WAY better, given there won't be people shooting at him, he'll for sure have internet access and a phone that he can regularly use, probably not sleeping in a room with a bunch of other guys, etc. But that is not going to happen because all of the slots are filled. So now he's looking into getting re-stationed somewhere else. Ft. Bliss has an opening but they deploy in the summer of '08 for a year. Somewhere in Alaska (which we've talked about really wanting to live there) has an opening, but again... they are deploying in the summer of '08. BUT! There is an EOD company in Albuquerque at Kirkland AFB that DOESN'T deploy!! Of course it isn't exactly what Kyle does right now, and he has to apply and be selected and he doesn't know if there's an opening, blah blah blah. So I'm not getting my hopes up... but wouldn't that be GREAT?!?! I mean, it really can't get any better than that in my opinion (well it could but realistically it couldn't!). True Albuquerque isn't the greatest but as far as my career in teaching music is concerned that's probably the best place for me. Plenty of jobs, in NM so I don't have to worry about getting my teaching license anywhere else, with Kyle and JT as a family.. it would just be amazing. But I'm not getting my hopes up because every time I do that I get crushed!
But it would just be SOO amazing!
Also, I'm on a diet for the first time in my life! Yikes! I went to the doctor and my weight is quite a bit higher than I expected and also a lot higher than I want it to be. So my goal is to lose 30 lbs in the next 2 months. Realistic? I hope so? I have no idea... But I'm doing really well with it! I have this horrible addiction to chocolate (I'm serious, it's bad!) and snacking is my enemy! But I have cut carbs out of my diet for the most part and haven't had chocolate in almost 2 weeks now. I have already seen results in my tummy and thighs (which are the areas I hate the MOST!!!). I can't believe I'm doing this well with it actually... I have wanted to lose weight since about 7th grade and this is the first time I'm really committed to it. It helps that almonds are so yummy but so low in carbs! Also Kyle found this great protein shake that we both have for breakfast and it actually fills you up pretty well and is yummy! I'm proud of myself!
Everyone, look out because when you see me next I'm going to look like a different person!
