So this is long overdue. Sorry about that.
Since the last blog I have taken my vacation and Mike has come home and stayed home. Well, on the island anyways.
Singapore and Malaysia was a blast!! I'm so glad I got to go!! I have tons of pictures. I'll have to set them up on Snapfish then put the link here for all to see.
Mike has been very busy since he got back. He's had a lot of training. In fact, he has training this Saturday and then he'll be in the field next week again. This will be the third time in the past month and a half that he's been in the field.
The slates are finally up. For those you that don't know the slates, that the list of open billets that they choose from. Our PRD (projected rotation date) is actually November but since he didn't get the school he wanted, he opted for the next set of slates, well, we didn't get put on those slates since they "forgot" about us. Well what we think happened was, Mike's detailer PCS'd (permanent change of station) in the middle of the slating process, so things didn't get turned over correctly. So now we're on the slates for March/April. He just put in his preferences so, hopefully we'll hear something soon.
As for me, my driving test is Oct. 15. I signed up as soon as I got back from vacation. I know I should have had an earlier test date but I went in, brought in my paperwork, and gave her my id. She then turns back like 4 pages and tells me it's going to be Oct. Since i'm not a local, and I don't have any friends at the DMV or relatives, i'm a white girl with a military ID, I get pushed around. It's how a lot of things happen here. It's stupid. But whatever. I'm ready for my test but i'm nervous about parallel parking. I've only done it twice, and I have to do it to pass my test. So wish me luck.
So that's our life here. I'll keep everyone posted once I hear about where we're going and when.
Hope all is well with everyone!!

it was so good to get an update!! I miss hearing from you , how the heck are you doing?
I had a dream about you last night walking in my backyard:) how are things?? are you still in guam? planning to come here at all?
hey hey i havent talked to you in a longg time! how have things been with you? anyways take care.
Hey well we went up for orders in Nov. Billy but in for Bahrain and for me to go home simply for the money. The detailer denied that in Dec. Saying its to expensive to send him geobachelor and then to send me home. He told Billy there was no possible way he would get an overseas billet from here. I know crap right. But I read the detailers notes and thats what it said. So in Dec Billy put in 3 billets for Rivron Units. 2 in Little Creek, VA and 1 for Pearl Harbor so we should find out this month if we got them or not.
