The End and a New Beginning

Friday was our last day in Dayton. It is almost surreal now that we spent three months in Dayton! The time went so quickly. So many things happened. We both have learned so much about ourselves individually and as a couple. We had the opportunity to be blessed by a community of believers. I don't think I could ever forget them! We are so grateful for how God provided that church for us in that season of our marriage.

Saturday was a long day of driving until we finally made it to MMM's parent's house. The only interesting that happened while driving is that a semi pushed me off the road. Of course! I was the one driving when that happened. It shook me up a bit, but I'm proud of how quickly I did get over it.

The night was spent hanging out with his family. Unfortunately, I haven't been feeling well, so that made everything a bit less fun for me. Yesterday was a similar story. We did go out to eat for breakfast at this really quaint restaurant, and my food was perfect! Last night, we were watching tv together and I was messing around on my laptop. I decided to check out Craigslist once again, even though I've had very little luck finding us a place to live. I hadn't check on there for a couple weeks maybe. But I noticed one post right away! It sounded great, and it even had a phone number attached! So I sent them a text and began chatting back and forth with the girl who posted it.

Today was the culmination of our journey. We did the last few hours of our drive back to the Windy City. On our way I got a call from the girl from Craigslist and we chatted about her place and figured out a lot of details. We worked it out that we went straight to her duplex right when we got into town.


Checking out the duplex was really exciting! It was the first time MMM and I got to look at a place together!  It is a quaint little place, and we decided that it is the place that God has for us. It was just too divinely appointed to be otherwise. I already love it and am excited to make it into our home. It even has some of the quirky things I wanted but didn't need. I love how God does that.

We went to pick up hubbies car and had unending problems with it. It kept dying, and we kept having to jump it. We finally made it to our aunt and uncle's place. Now it is time for bed, as I'm still not feeling the best. Looking forward to moving into our new place and getting used to being home again.

Dayton - Day Eighty-Six

It was an early morning for us today. We got everything packed up and checked out by 7:30a,m. We went on base and I went to practice and MMM stayed with his classmates. Practicing went well and I started feeling more relaxed.

We had to wait a while for the graduation to start and it gave me enough time to start freaking out again. This was a big deal for me since it has always been a dream of mine to sing the National  Anthem for an event. I texted my mom to calm my nerves.

The ceremony began and I got up to sing and I was shaking. I took hubbies advice and angled myself to look at the flag instead of the audience. It made a huge difference! I am very pleased with how it went and received many compliments afterward.

It was so great to see all of hubbies class graduate. I am very proud of him. The speeches were entertaining as well. It was a lovely graduation.

We got on the road shortly afterward. The day went quickly! We stopped to eat some supper and then drove a couple more hours. Now we are in a lovely hotel and will buckle down for the night.

Dayton - Day Eighty-Five

Tonight is our last night in Dayton. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. And so much has happened! The day was very busy for me with all the packing. We brought stuff to Dayton that we knew we'd use regularly, and that being the case, I couldn't pack it up until we wouldn't have time to use it again. 

For a while I just blasted some music and got to packing, and then I took a break to chat with one of the greatest friends! It was absolutely the best being able to chat with her. *waves* I steadily continued on with the packing until another chat with a different friend, which was also fantastic! 

MMM got home a bit early (just when I laid down to take a nap, of course) and got busy packing up his things. The afternoon flew by with all the last minute things. We packed up the car and so far it's looking pretty good. Hopefully the last things that go in tomorrow will fit well. 

We walked to the store for the last time to grab some munchies for the road. It is just so strange to be leaving this place. At first it seemed so foreign, but we've both gotten so comfortable here now. It is sad to be leaving our new friends too. 

Now we are preparing the last of our food for our late night supper! :D Maybe a movie too. Our last night here has arrived. Now we just hope for a good graduation, and safety driving home tomorrow! It will be a long weekend of driving for sure. 

Dayton - Day Eighty-Four

Today began normally. MMM left for work, and I wished I could sleep longer. :P I did get eventually and got going. At the meal with his classmates last night, I was asked if I could bake something for their informal class gathering tonight, and their formal gathering tomorrow. I agreed as long as they knew I'd be experimenting. They were eager to be my taste testers.

I got all ready to bake when I realized that I didn't have any eggs! And since we're leaving in just a couple days, I definitely didn't want to buy a whole dozen. So, I walked to the store and chatted with Grams. The store didn't have cartons of 6 eggs which was a big surprise. So I decided to take my experimenting one step further and bought "egg beaters".

After getting home, I got started on the baking. The egg beaters seemed to do well enough. My next experiment was how to put marshmellows into the cookies. I tried several different ways. I was never quite satisfied. The cookies definitely weren't awful, but I'm hopeful to improve them some day. So, I made one experimental batch of cookies, then I made a normal batch with my left over chocolate/peanut butter chips, and then on top of that, used all the rest of my marshmellows to make a huge batch of rice krispie bars! I was a baking machine! It was great because I got to use up a lot of my ingredients, which means there's less to pack and bring home! Woot.

After baking and eating lunch, I was pooped. So I laid on the foot of our bed, in the direct line of sunlight, and got to take a cozy nap! It was fantastic. MMM got home shortly after and we had a nice couple of hours together. We just chatted about our trip back home and what all we need to do. Then he grabbed all the goodies for tonight and headed out.

I have spent the night working on all the dishes, watching Netflix, and talking with one of my all time favorite families! It was so great to catch up with them, and I'm so excited to see them again in November. Now on to more web surfing for things to do on our honeymoon/vacation in Arizona! Toodles!

Dayton - Day Eighty-Three

One more day in the books here in Dayton. I'm so thankful to be feeling better today. It was a long week of feeling awful, so this is such a relief. I mostly hung out at home except for going on a walk. The weather has been gorgeous here. It's going to be a shock to get back to the Windy City which is currently much colder than Dayton. Brr.

MMM got home from early and so we had enough time to watch the new version of Yours, Mine, and Ours which is funny. Of course, I like the older version better, but it is an entertaining remake.

We went out to eat with his whole class to a Japanese steakhouse where the chef cooks in front of you. It was entertaining! And the food was very tasty. It was nice to get to know his classmates better. I got to talk with some that I'd never really chatted with before, so that was great! It's crazy knowing that pretty soon we'll be gone and not seeing this people every week.

But now it's time to end the day with bed. I'm still tired from last week, so hopefully I'll sleep well tonight.

Dayton - Day Eighty - Two

Well, last night was interesting. I only got about 3 hours of sleep with a 5 hour break in between those measly three hours. I tried to sleep, but it just didn't happen. So, I watched netflix and chatted to my pastor who is currently several hours ahead of us.

I did finally fall asleep for about an hour, but then I had to wake up, which was extremely difficult. I decided to go to the store in order to keep myself awake. I chatted with my sis at the same time, which was nice.

I am starting to feel better! So, I put together I actually got some dishes done and got a start on packing back up for our trip back home. It feels nice to have a head start, and to have a plan for all the food we need to eat. I don't think we'll be able to eat it all.

MMM and I hung out after he got home from work. And soup was the first thing on the menu. We watched some tv, and played some games together. I just enjoyed chatting with my husband. We even watched the Presidential debate...which was less than amusing. But, I enjoyed chatting with a friend from home at the same time.

Now, I desperately need to get some sleep. Goodnight!

Dayton - Day Eighty-One

It is our last Sunday in Dayton. It is amazing how the time has flown. I woke up feeling a little better and even got most of my exercises accomplished before MMM woke up. But, by the time we headed out for church, I was already feeling kinda groggy and off.

We went to Sunday school and it was good. I think we seriously only covered two verses. There was a lot of good discussion. Right after that we headed to the main service where we met a couple for the first time. They were very nice.

The service went well. I was supposed to sing on the team, but because I've been sick that didn't work out. I chose not to sing in the choir either. For me to not be able to sing makes in very hard to get involved in the worship. Today though, I was sitting behind a friend who does sign language for all the songs just in her pew. I watched her during every song and found I could truly worship with the beauty of the words she was signing. It made me feel a lot better.

Before the sermon began, the Pastor had us stand up and he announced to everyone that it was our last Sunday. He said some very kind things and encouraged others to greet us after the service. One thing you should know about me is that it is incredible easy to get me to cry when I don't feel well. So having our friends smiling at us and applauding made me tear up.

After the service the couple we just met today came back up to say they were sorry we only met today. The husband noticed me looking ill (I can't help it you know) and prayed over me. That made me really cry. So many people wished us well on our new journey and asked us to come back some day. It was sad to leave knowing we might not ever be back there. This church has been such a blessing to us. We are forever grateful.

The rest of the day has gone by without anything too exciting. I just continue to rest and try to figure out what's wrong with me. It could be a long lasting flu type thing, or perhaps an ear infection. I'm really not sure not now, but I can say it isn't fun being sick.

Dayton - Day Eighty

We all woke up and had breakfast together which was fun. Shortly after that, our friend headed out yet again. the day went by without much happening because I still am not doing the best. I did have a good chat with a friend. We watched some movies.

Tonight we went to see our favorite blues player in this area. It was really fun, despite my head hurting. We played Monopoly while we listened. It was a really sweet coffee house. I'm glad we went, but I am feeling worse now. So, to bed I go.

Dayton - Day Seventy-Nine

I was feeling a bit better this morning. So, I brought MMM to work and continued on with my day. I met him on base just after lunch to rehearsal their graduation! I'm really excited because I am singing the National Anthem! I've always wanted to sing the National Anthem for some event, and it's even better that it's a military event, and the best part is that it is for my husband!

The rehearsal took a long time, but it was fun. I enjoyed hanging out with some of the guys. By the time we left, it was raining and very cold too. Unfortunately, at this point my head was starting to hurt again. Because of that we spent the afternoon and evening mostly relaxing.

We did run to the store (while it was still raining) to grab supplies to make rice krispy bars which were seriously calling my name. So we worked together to make those tasty snacks and then got to work on supper. We had chicken marinated in Italian dressing with rice and broccoli. I thought it was quite tasty.

We cuddled on the couch to watch a very strange, kinda scary, movie. It was very unique in how it was filmed! The friend who previously visited us called again to say he was coming through again. It was decided that he would spend the night again and we began describing the movie to him bit by bit in order to keep him awake. He did make it safely here, and we are heading right to bed!

Dayton - Day Seventy-Eight

Still not feeling the best today. The good spots were the great talks I had with my mom and my sister! MMM was able to go to a game night with co-workers. I wish I felt up to going to, but maybe in a few days.

Dayton - Day Seventy-Seven

Not feeling well at all today. Didn't even go to choir tonight. MMM has been sweet and taking care of me ever since last night. He is currently sleeping after a stressful day at work, whereas, I can't fall asleep. So I'm watching sermons online until I can fall asleep.

Dayton - Day Seventy-Six

We all woke up bright and early today. I got an eggbake in the oven as soon as possible, but it still wasn't ready for MMM to eat before he had to go to work. So sad. :P I brought him to work and there was a crazy long line of cars to get into the base.

Going home, our friend was kind enough to take out the egg bake for me. We ate some and chatted about life in general. Then we headed to a car parts place to figure out for sure what's going on with our car, and also to get a part for him to fix his own car! We spent the next while taking car of both cars. Well, he was taking care of both cars..I was learning how he was doing it! :D

We ate some lunch and enjoyed more great conversation! Then he needed to head out to continue his journey. I left shortly after to go to my Bible study at church. We've been working through Leviticus and Numbers. It has been very interesting!

Then the ladies gave me directions on how to get to the base a new way. This was important, because they are doing construction that will connect the rec area (library, grocery store, etc) to the other portion of the base. This has resulted in the usual entrance being closed. So not only was I driving through a new place, but I had to find a new gate, and manage my way inside this massive base! I was a bit nervous, but I did make it through just fine.

MMM got home and I made supper. I even got to chat with a good friend of mine! Then we headed to the store to get a treat before sitting down for supper and a movie. That's all for now.

Dayton - Day Seventy-Five

Today started off normally, with my hubbie leaving before 6 and I slept til about 7:30. I got up and started with my day quickly so I'd be ready to leave whenever the cleaning lady came. It just so happened that she came just in time for me to walk to the store in the drizzle. It was a bit chilly. I got a few groceries and headed back with my weights. =P

The day continued on as normal until I got some sad news from back home. I let MMM know and chatted with him a little about it. The afternoon was somber because of that, but I did manage to finally finished one of the books I've been reading.

MMM got home and we just spent time together chatting about the news we got and discussing some of the other somber situations in our life. It was a quiet afternoon to be sure. I practiced guitar while MMM worked on the computer.

The day got increasingly better when a friend from back home arrived for a short visit! We're so happy to have him here for the night. He always has something interesting to say. :) I'm hoping we'll get a few games in yet tonight, which is why I am taking care of this post right now. Night all!

Dayton - Day Seventy-Four

Hurray for Sunday! We woke up early to get ready. I had to be at church early to practice with the sound system. I had the opportunity to do special music at the church, and had been debating back and forth between playing the guitar or piano, while singing. Practice went well. I really enjoyed my chat with the pastor's wife before Sunday school.

Sunday school was great! And then church began, and I was so beyond nervous! I was seriously shaking in the choir loft. It was scary. Worship really calmed me down. I decided to do the guitar, even though I'm still a beginner. It started out a little rough, but it got better towards the end. It was not my best ever, but I really enjoyed myself!

After church we had lunch with the pastor and his wife. It was great! We went to Thai even still. We had a lot of fun chatting with them. And the food was delicious.

We got home and both took a much needed nap! We just hung out for a while before heading back to church for a new study! It was good! I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone at the church. They have been so good to us! Including following us home after we had some concerns with our car. Thanks for your help guys! Now we're watching tv and relaxing for the rest of the night. :)

Dayton - Day Seventy-Three

Another weekend has come! I was so tired from last night that I am so glad to sleep in this morning. The day went by very quickly! I worked on my book some, read some, played some games. MMM went golfing with one of his buddies..and that took a few hours. Now he's home and we're going to watch The Skeleton Key! It should be interesting. That's all for today folks!

Dayton - Day Seventy-Two

MMM had a test this morning, so he didn't have to go in early like he normally would on Friday's. That was nice for me! I got up shortly after he left and got started with my day. My days have consisted mostly in doing research about places to move to once we get back home. It has been a frustrating search, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel!

I had a wonderful chat with my Grammy (*waves* Hi Grammy!) while waiting for MMM to get home for lunch. And I had the food ready to go by the time he arrived home. Lunch was good, and then a walk was very much needed. Mhmm. It was a perfect day today. The weather was gorgeous, and just chilly enough to want a light jacket. I love this weather.

MMM had to go back to school for his physical training (which today meant flag football), so I just hung out at home and worked on baking brownies and cookies!

We were seriously considering the house my friend looked at, but knew there was one thing we needed to negotiate on. We decided that would be the determining factor. So, when MMM got home, we gave the owner a call. It was a nice conversation, but ended up being a dud. Hmph. At first I was pretty frustrated because it was the only good lead we'd had for a place to live. But, in the end, I'm at peace with it. I know if God wanted us there, He would have worked it out the way we needed it. We'll find a place eventually.

We had another game night with the crew. My biggest complaint was that the building was frigid!! I was sooo cold. I'm glad to be back in our cozy room. Now, just hoping for the best in our house search tomorrow.

Dayton - Day Seventy-One

Today was good! I brought MMM to work, and then proceeded to fill the car tank and headed to PT for my final appointment! It's great to be done with PT, but I will miss going there. I really enjoyed getting to know the staff there.

I got back home and immediately set off for the store (with a quick stop at Starbucks) to grab a few things. It was a chilly walk, but not terrible. :) I put together a soup in the crockpot and let it cook on its own (the benefits of a crockpot are so great).

I had small group in the afternoon. It was really great! I felt like God was truly speaking to me about some issues, which is awesome! I enjoyed chatting with the ladies and getting to know them better. It was really fun. I'm glad to have the group of people to interact with.

I decided to explore and go on an adventure on my way home, instead of taking the boring interstate. I drove the back roads and it was very pleasant. I enjoyed my little adventure and found my way home with no trouble at all! I took some very lucky turns (without knowing where I was going) that brought me right where I needed to be.

Once MMM was done with work, we took a walk back to the store! While in the store, an older gentleman approached us and started sharing with us about the ways of life and marriage, and how we should drink pomegranate juice instead of milk. It was interesting, and a pleasure to chat with him.

Supper was tasty! But it was even better after supper because I got some good news about a house a friend looked at for us! It was great to hear her news about the house and potentially our future house. We'll see!

The night got even better with a date night with a blues concert! We got to see the same duo that we saw when we first got to Dayton. They were just as good as always! And this time they even sat down with us and chatted during their break! It was great fun!

Now the night will be ending with MMM studying for his exam tomorrow, and I think I'll help him. :) Ciao!

Dayton - Day Seventy

MMM didn't have to go into work until 10 today, which was awesome! My mom was going to try to make it out here, but unfortunately couldn't make it. So, I thought about going to the Air Force Museum, but I ended up having a headache, so I decided to stay home.

I did my exercises from PT to try to help my headache, and I was so happy and excited that it truly helped! I could actually feel my headache leaving! It was awesome!

The day wasn't that exciting for me, but MMM got to play D&D tonight again. Really nothing new to share though. We're still looking for a place to live back home and that is stressing me out a bit. That's it for now.

Dayton - Day Sixty-Nine

Today was interesting. We slept in, which was glorious. Unfortunately, we slept past breakfast with the co-workers, but to be fair, we both thought it was for tomorrow, not today. We were got off guard by MMM being called to work a bit early, but it gave me the chance to bake some cookies!
The cookies were a bit complicated. I did some improvising, and then when it came to how long to bake them it got very difficult. Basically, they weren't cooked all the way through unless the edges got burnt. A frustrating scenario to be sure. But all in all, they did taste pretty good.
They took a bit longer than expected, so I ended up being a bit late for the Bible study. The study was good! We're going through Numbers now and it is really interesting. There are a lot of stories I didn't remember. I really enjoyed being around the older women. They have a lot wisdom that I can learn from.
After the study, I practiced piano and my special music in the sanctuary. It was excellent fun! By this point I was starving, so I grabbed some food for both of us and headed on base.
I met up with MMM where he was playing D&D and we both ate. We were there for about 4 more hours. While they were playing I got to chat with a few different people, which was nice!
MMM decided to go to dance once we got home, and I stayed behind 'cuz I have another headache. Oh well. Hopefully it'll be gone by tomorrow.

Dayton - Day Sixty-Eight

MMM had the day off for Columbus Day! I never paid much attention to all the national holiday's, but now that I'm married to someone in the military, it makes all the difference to have those holiday's!

We stayed home all day for the most part.  I am not feeling the best today, so I really did stay home all day.

MMM decided to play Dungeons and Dragons with his co-workers, so he met up with one of the them to put the final touches on his character. Then he bought me tea, sweet guy. We played some games, and that's about it!

Dayton - Day Sixty-Seven

We awoke to the lovely sound of the smoke detector chirping right above our bed! I woke up to it gradually enough that it even had a guest appearance in my dreams! Luckily, it was just because the battery was low, not because there was an actual fire. It did become quite annoying though. MMM tried to take care of it, but couldn't figure out how it was supposed to come off.

We got ready for church and called the front desk so they could worry about it. Lately it seems that I'm always late. I don't like it! I need to get back to me 'always be early' mentality. So, I was a couple minutes late to choir practice. Oh well. MMM went off to play on the mini before Sunday school started.

Class went well, and I thought it was very interesting. It definitely gave me a new perspective on some things I've gone through, so that was really cool.
Church was good, but a little more difficult since I was sitting in the choir loft for all the worship time, didn't know the songs, and didn't have good access to the words. It all worked out though.

We left pretty much right away and went to eat Thai food, only this time we sat inside. It is just too chilly to sit outside anymore. I was so hungry that I ate my entire meal (for the first time) while watching the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which just so happened to be on tv at the time.

The afternoon was spent working on my novel which is still in the beginning stages. I started writing that probably 4 years ago, but left it alone for a very long time. Now I have about 11 pages (not so much, I know) and am more excited about it than ever before. I feel like I might be able to really work on it, and hope to finish it as well.

MMM went golfing with a work buddy, even though it was chilly. He said that the whole golf course was empty except for them, and he enjoyed that. :D

We went to watch the movie Courageous at church tonight. We hadn't seen it yet, but both really enjoyed it. I liked how it was emotional, dramatic, moving, and truly funny all at the same time. It took some unexpected turns, which I always appreciate, and it wasn't as predictable as the previous movies from this group have been. Over all, I really did enjoy it, and so did MMM! Hooray! We even got to bring a whole bowl of popcorn home to snack on.

It was truly a great night together, and I'm so grateful for today.

Dayton - Day Sixty-Six

It's the weekend! And it's a very long weekend too! We hung out at home for half the day, watching tv, and doing work on the computer. We went out to one of the local parks to go biking, and what do you know? There was a special event going on! It seems that whenever we go out we are coming across some unexpected event. Thankfully, the event today was really fun!

It was the Outdoor Experience event. It included vendors, competitions in kayaking, dog tricks, slack lining, and they had tree climbing (using belays) and they had a BMX show, which was awesome! I really enjoyed our time there, even though it wasn't what we had planned.

The night concluded with us watching Rain Man while eating our supper of brats and potatoes! I remembered it from all the times I had it in Germany, and I really just wanted to have it again. It didn't turn out quite like I expected, but it was good. :)

Dayton - Day Sixty-Five

Normally I wake up a bit more when MMM is getting ready for work, but I barely noticed anything. I woke up later feeling like I missed out on something. It's amazing how those few moments can be such an important part of the day.

My morning went quickly and so did MMM's. His schedule has become emptier as the three months have progressed, and so today he had a 3 hr lunch break! :P We went out to eat across the street again. It tasted good, but we both just ate way too much. So we got back home and he took a quick nap while I day dreamed about my time in Germany. It seems like forever ago that I was there. I always feel nostalgic when I realize that even if I do go back to Germany, it will never be exactly the same. I've changed a lot, and my life circumstances have changed a lot. I wouldn't want anything else, but it is interesting to see your life in the past and know it'll never happen again.

Anyway, MMM had to go back to work for just a short while before being done for the day. Once he was home for good we just hung out for a while. Wouldn't you know, I fell asleep. I think being at home all the time has caused my body to relax so much that I can sleep a lot more. I'm not sure whether that is a good or bad thing.

The night was capped off with watching Monk on Netflix and giving each other back massages. Then right before bed we re-watched our wedding ceremony! It was so great to see it again and relive the memories.

Dayton - Day Sixty-Four

I have had such a hard time waking up lately..I'm not sure why. I drove MMM to work again, even though I didn't have PT today. I got to work on the lasagna some time before lunch. I am not sure how it will go this time because I didn't use as much sauce as last time.

I knew I was going to a small group over by our church at 1pm, so I went to the church early to play the piano, and practice playing the guitar on stage. MMM and I will be doing special music this Sunday! We still haven't decided whether it will be him playing guitar, myself playing guitar, or I will play piano! Of course, I will be singing as well. Practicing was really fun! And I just barely made it to small group on time!

Small group lasted about two hours, and I really enjoyed getting to know the women there. They had a lot of good things to share. It was so helpful to get some directions from them as well, since they've been here a lot longer than I have. They mentioned many things that would be cool to see with my mom! I'm excited!

I got home just in time to scarf down some lunch before picking up hubbie from work. He told me that he has a lot of free time in the next few days, which we're both excited about! :D We went to a bar with some of the guys for a little while before heading on base for a game night! MMM and I played Pandemic with one other guy while the rest of the crew was playing Dungeons and Dragons (which we might join). It was an interesting experience to watch DnD!

We got home just a little while ago, and now it's time for bed yet again. It seems like the days go way too fast.

Oh, and the lasagna turned out okay, but the top was a little overcooked. :P

Dayton - Day Sixty-Three

It was my day to stay home...well, that's every day isn't it. :P I let MMM have the car today, so the furthest I went was to the store across the street for a few groceries. I decided to remake the Lemon Chicken only this time I made it with oranges. I did like it better than the lemons, but it was still too dry. I forgot from last time that it cooks a lot faster than I expected.

The day was spent journaling, and craigslisting for a house. Neither were incredibly productive. I did leave the house tonight to go to choir, which was fun, as always.

The rest of the night was spent just watching tv with the hubbie and chatting. But we are both very tired, so to bed we go!

Dayton - Day Sixty-Two

Man, I did not want to wake up this morning! But, alas, I had to. I dropped MMM off at work, and on arriving back home, realized I had dropped my military id somewhere. Yipes! That was very bad news indeed! So, I called hubbie and he went out and found it where I'd dropped him off. Thankfully it was still safe and sound, but it did mean that I wouldn't be able to go buy groceries until after he got  home.

I had my PT appointment this morning, and it was good! We worked on my shoulder which was sorely needed (pun intended :P). I have been doing so much better since the accident that now I have just over a week until my last eval appointment, and then if all is well, I'll be done with PT! Woot! It's nice to be getting back to normal, slowly but surely.

After my appointment, I just hung out at home for a while. I had intended to go to a Bible study, but I ended up falling asleep while sitting on the couch! Guess I was tired. :) In fact, I must have been very tired, because I fell asleep again before MMM got home. Oh well! I am appreciating this time that I'm actually able to take a nap pretty much whenever I want. I know that won't always happen. Eventually I'll have a job again, and then someday, I hope to have kids to take care of. I'll enjoy this chance to live a relaxed lifestyle.

We decided to eat on base tonight since we didn't have a ton a food at home, and for the express purpose of getting groceries after all! We enjoyed a nice dinner and then split up to accomplish the shopping a little more quickly. I got to chat with a good friend on the way, and then I got a call from my new aunt with information on a place we'd looked at as perhaps our future home. So that shopping trip was quite the exciting trip!

We still are continuing to look for a place to move to back home, so keep your eyes out folks! :P

Dayton - Day Sixty-One

I'll keep this short. Not feeling the best today, so mostly rested at home. I read, watched netflix, played Mario..the works. :P MMM had a good day at work and even got home a little early. Then we both napped. Can't you see how exciting today was? :D The most interesting part was figuring out what to make for supper, and what to send with him tomorrow for lunch! We did watch a semi-creepy movie called The Lazarus Project. It was weird. And now to bed!
