Blogging Again!

Well, we'll see how long it lasts (i'm not very good at staying up on websites lately:) but I am going to start blogging again. I have changed my background to support my hubby who may or may not be getting deployed this weekend. It is still very up in the air and we have no idea. But for the last several months this is what has been going on...
December, I graduated from SUU!!! Well, I finished school, but I don't officially graduate until May 1. Either way I am way excited! Spencer got back from training right before December and was able to spend Thanksgiving with the family before we moved to Fort Riley Kansas to be at his first duty station with the BIG RED 1. Pretty crazy.

January, Spencer's unit got deployed. He was staying back with the rear detachment and would leave in February with the rest of Signal Company. Other than that big piece of news, we are getting to know Junction City and figuring out where everything is. Every weekend we go for a drive to a different place around the area. We have checked out pretty much every town and city within an 80 mile radius! It has been a lot of fun getting to know a new area and finding fun and exciting things to do. I have been searching for a job as well. It came as a disappointment that in Kansas, you have to have a degree in Social Work, not Sociology to do social work, unlike Utah where either degree is sufficient for a job in the area. So I won't be able to do anything with my degree while we live here:( All that schooling and now I can't even do anything with it..at least for a while.

February, more exploring, more job searching, more time with Spencer. We found out that Spencer wasn't getting deployed after all and was going to be able to stay back for the entire deployment and help in the offices. His first sargant really likes him so it was going to work out for him to stay.

March, now, a week before the rest of Spencer's unit is to deploy, he may end up having to go after all. We still have no idea. I'm still hoping he doesn't go, but it's not up to me unfortunately. I found a job though, working at the hospital here (not the Army hospital) as a receptionist so that should be good. It will be nice to have the extra income too. I can't wait to start, but right now I am having to fill out TONS of paperwork AND I have to get shots!! Blah! Hopefully, I can actually start on Monday, and hopefully Spencer doesn't leave this weekend.
