What's new?

I excel at slacking. It's one of my talents. My other talents include: reading, watching TV, gossiping about celebrities that I don't actually care about, kicking butt in candy crush and maybe even some useful talents. The slacking talent, though, is why I haven't blogged in nearly two years. So here I am making another vow to myself and whoever happens to read this, to blog, or at least journal privately, more often. 


Alrighty then. Since we've gotten that out of the way, let's see what's new. I'm currently living in Yuma, Az, which seems like a quaint place to be if you ignore the fact that it feels like Mordor when you walk outside. My husband got out of the Army and we are staying with my mom for the summer while he trains for his new job. He's actually finished training and gotten his assignment, so now we are doing the long distance house hunting thing. We'll be heading back to El Paso, Texas, but this time I know that central air and refrigerated air are NOT  the same thing, so I think I'm better prepared for it.  I actually ended up enjoying it after we got the housing situation under control. There is plenty to do and they city has various events throughout the year to keep us occupied, plus I already have friends there, so I feel confidant that this will work out well. 

Other than that, not much has changed. I did switch schools and switched my major. I've changed from business management to Psychology. I'm much happier with this field. I love learning about what makes people tick. Why one person responds to a situation in one way, and someone else responds in a completely different manner fascinates me. 

Well, that's all for now. I just figured since I'm already here I might as well say something. Sweet dreams, folks.

Moving and crap

Holy bejeeebus is Texas HUGE! We were in this gigantic state for at least three days before finally arriving in El Paso. We stopped just after the texas border for the night and then headed to Killeen to visit my brother in law, where my 6 year old confused his new girlfriend for his old girlfriend (embarrassing.) Then we drove in some snow and ice, which is always a blast, before stopping for the night in lordknowswhere, Texas. Maybe some of you have seen it on the map? Then FINALLY we made it to El Paso and spent a good 45 minutes driving in circles. Thanks to Julie, David, Sara and google maps (no thanks to Garmin) we finally made it on post only to discover that there was no room in the inn despite our reservation. I'm not sure what I did to this place the last time I was here, but it doesn't seem to like me much. We finally found lodging in a motel on the east side and begun our search for a house and after 3 weeks in a hotel we got to move into our furniture less home. YAY! Now a week after moving in we have most of our furniture, cable, internet, and phone and are well on our way to making this place like home. All I need now is for people to visit me.
