And So It Begins

I actually tried really hard looking for you today. I googled my heart out, and you're everywhere. I can see you everywhere, but they're all old links. It's all in the past.

It's so easy to reinvent. It's what I've needed to do for such a long time. So,

So football went well. We played in weather <35 degrees with some nice wind and snow to go with it. Out of all the teams, four people had to quit playing from hypothermia, one went to the hospital with a busted lip, and one guy had his shoulder pop out of place. Two of the teams ended up going home early as they decided it was too damn cold to be outside. lol.

What I'm most happy about is the chili though. It turned out quite well, and we were lucky enough to have some left to eat for ourselves. It turns out when you plan to have enough chili for 100 people, and only 30 or 40 show up, you end up with some left overs

We're back in Gettysburg. I'll tell you, it's so weird... For the first time ever, Erie doesn't feel like home. In fact, I told Kdog after just a few hours that I was ready to be back home. It's so nice here. We're still getting settled, but already it's amazing. It's better than our old place in every conceivable way. The only bad part about the new place is that there's no Dagdamor here. :(

We tentatively plan on coming back for thanksgiving. I was wondering if it would be perhaps more often than that, but I'm not sure. That drive is just so long. It's only 6 hours, but it drags on forever. I did the ride in the car by myself for the first time, and it was not pleasant. It's not something I'll desire to do again anytime soon, that's for sure.

So it's official. I got my orders to leave in October. I did all the necessary stuff like telling family etc. In July, we go to do a lot of training, and start preparing to go over. Supposedly, I'll get a chance to do my will there. I'm so excited to do that! I've always thought about who I'd want to give my stuff to if I died.

So far I decided to give all my white socks to Tim and all my black socks to Saags. :)

If any of you have anything you want, let me know, lol.
