Life Update

So many things have been going on that I have not had time to write. I graduated from OCS on August 30th and received my commission as a 2LT in the United States Army. Right now I am sitting with 59 days until my wedding day. I am looking forward to it, it will be a wonderful day in the sun. I have been sitting at FT. Gordon snowbirding for the last month. That means that I have been picking up details to do while I wait for my next class to start in Oklahoma. It works out great that CR is stationed here.

This weekend CR and I are going down to Tampa to move the rest of my belongings to Augusta. It should be a long trip back in a uhal truck. This is the only way that it is going to get done. We are not sure if we will stay for the Saturday hash or drive straight back. On Sunday Evening, I have to start my trip to Oklahoma for school.

Mini Cat will stay to guard the house. Mini cat and CR are getting along famously. She just flops for him and shows him her tummy. They are so good together. I am so glad to have the Mini cat back. I am sure that she misses her friends in Tampa, but she will get to see them while CR and I are on our honeymoon. I think that she needs friends here, but that would be too much for the little space that we have. Before I leave for Oklahoma I will be purchasing her a play tower of her very own. I hope that she likes it.

I did it!!

Today I made my future path more clear. Today I signed my contract to become an Officer Candidate in the United States Army!
It has been a long road to get here. I have been working on this for the last 3 months. The process sped up when I finally made army height and weight standards! I went to MEPS on Thursday of last week and to my physical. Yesterday I went before the OCS board, interviewed, and was granted the opportunity to become an officer candidate. Today I went to MEPS, signed the contract, and swore in! I will be leaving on February 15th 2007 for Fort Jackson, SC! From there I got to Fort Benning for 14 weeks of OCS! I am so excited!
