Come on 19th

Well this week is my last week of work, which I'm really happy about.

I will be going to school for Pharmacy Tech. It's not what I want to do forever, but it will be something I'm interested in until I'm able to get into Nursing school. If it wasn't so dang hard to get into out here in CA I would. So eventually we'll settle down, I'll get into Nursing and my long term goal is to be a Nurse Practitioner.

After my last blog we survived a long underway. That was bad. Right in the middle I got really sick and it took about two weeks to fully recover from that. Then at the end of the underway there was the swine flu going around Michael's department. So he had to take this pills to stop it and those actually ended up making him sick, poor guy. He's fine now.

Michael starts his leave on the 23rd and we're so excited. We have a lot of things we want to do. So far on the 24th I've bought us tickets to see Transformers 2 at the IMAX theater, so we'll do a lunch right before and call it a date lol. Then the 25th we head out early that morning for Disneyland. We'll visit Disneyland on the 25th and 26th. On the 27th we'll visit California Adventure and then head home on the 28th. I'm really excited about that. We liked Disney so that should be fun but we haven't been to California adventure.

We also want to do a few beach trips, the zoo, wild animal park and seaworld. It should be a fun leave! OH and we'll be celebrating his birthday too.

I've been working out still, I'm really happy that I have not given up on this and I've lost 20 pounds so far! I want to lose so much more before I go to Texas to visit in December and before Mike comes home from deployment.

Speaking of deployment, it's becoming more and more real everyday as we start planning out the small details for it. I'm really not enjoying any of that. I'm ready for it to be done and over.
