Marinating, Healing, and Living Again

Since I've been home life has been interesting. I have felt better than I have in the last 2 years. I truly think the weather here has truly been a God-send. Having family around and friends I haven't seen in awhile has definitely helped my spirits. It's been so long that I have felt healthy, appreciated and worthy of love that it has been so beneficial.

We now have orders to Phoenix, AZ, and have a tentative report date of 21 Aug. I'm not sure if we will make that date but at least we have a base. I'm excited about the new base and am eagerly awaiting the warmer weather in contrast to Alaska. I have a good feeling about the climate and atmosphere and am hoping to heal enough to return to work. That we be a wonderful development, and a big help to my family financially. Unfortunate today is crash day and I'm starting to feel the effects of using my hands while they hurt. It is however my first crash in OVER a month so I guess I shouldn't complain. I will hopefully be able to post more later in the week. Now that things are beginning to slow down, and become more routine. The kids will be going to San Antonio to their other grandparents for the remainder of the space between AK, and AZ moves. They will however be starting school late, as school starts on Aug 6th there. So I guess I'm done... for now.

So I'm going back in time on Friday night

I graduated June 9th, 1994 from Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center. I was semi-popular, a dancer, smart, and spoke at my graduation. So on Friday I am going to meet some of those old classmates for the evening, to catch up. I haven't seen most of these people for 10+ years. I've gained 120+lbs, gotten married, and had 2 children. Amazingly enough one of my ex's is going to be there and that is going to be decidedly weird. I am truly excited however, these were the people I shared everything, and everyday w/ for 4 years. Still I'm nervous too, I don't feel like I've accomplished as much as I would have liked. I fell I'm by no means a failure, I just think like my life has been, well boring. Ahh, but what can I say, I'm alive.. and mostly happy. What else is there but to be rich. And from what I hear that's not all it's cracked up to be.

Home

Being home is like being inside your memories. I've traveled to old playgrounds, peered at my old family homes, and embraced childhood friends. It's a most interesting experience. I've been home for almost three weeks now, Heather's wedding was a immense success. I feel so privileged to have shared her special day. Not to mention I didn't do to shabby on the Brother In Law area either. Leonard is wonderful and wonderful for my sister.

Life has not been all bridesmaids dress' and cake however. I have unfortunately been w/o some of my medications for a couple of days. It's been rather heart wrenching to live through. My medicine has been re-ordered but there were some computer slip-ups at thee hospital in Alaska and since I'm in Ohio.... it will be several days till I am completely relieved of my extreme discomfort. My sissy has so graciously invited me to mass tomorrow, so I will not be typing for to much longer because it's a early one.

So I just popped in an I'm now popping out...POOF!
