Well, this is probably the millionth time I've tried to do this. The most recent was last year, before our wedding in April. I just couldn't get into it, though, and I was really busy (which is definitely not the case right now, most of the time). Hopefully, I'll be able to keep up with this one a little better. It would be nice to be able to not only talk about my day but also vent, celebrate, etc.
I can only assume that anyone reading this already knows me, but if not - a little background. I was married in April of 2009 and, after a honeymoon in Disney World, immediately moved to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where my husband has been stationed until 2012. John is now a 1LT in the US Army, and I'm very proud of him and everything he's doing. I've becoming an Army wife through and through - volunteering, potlucks, the works. But, as much as I said I didn't want to get involved at first, I've actually started to enjoy it. Right now, I'm the leader of John's company's Family Readiness Group, which is essentially what it says - a group of volunteers that tries to help prepare families for anything the Army might throw at them. We try to give out as much information as possible and try to create some cohesion within the company, especially among us spouses. Some of us are new to the Army life, some of us are pro's at it but, in the end, we're all in this together and can all help each other. I've just started to get to know some of the spouses in our company and I LOVE them.
I'm so glad I'm actually starting to make some friends out here after spending the better part of a year sitting at home with the dogs and working. However, I got terminated from my coding job at Pettigrew Medical Business Services just recently (I don't even WANT to get into all of that drama), so I've had a little more free time. I just had an interview at Game Stop on the post though, so keep your fingers crossed on that one. I would liek to get the job not only because we need the money but also because my good friend, Becky, works there and I think it would be fun to work with her!
The whole Army experience continues to both amaze and overwhelm me daily. Now that I have more free time, I've tried to delve even more deeply into my FRG Leader duties and there's so much I want to do but I am not always sure that I can do it. There are all these rules and stipulations placed on us now when, really, all I want to do is help out our families. So, I guess we'll see how it goes. I continue to be excited and frustrated by the entire thing, but I'm glad to be making a difference, even if it is just a small one.
I suppose that's good enough for a first blog, eh? I'll try to continue to blog regularly. We are fixing to go on leave but I'll try to update from my momma's computer when I get to her house! Yay for Mother's Day!
1ove,
Amy
