Weekend Warrior

This weekend, I have my first drill as a real live Soldier. The kind that is trained in my warrior tasks and drills. Like for reals, I actually get to do my job. And I am so excited about it!.

I cannot wait to put my uniform on and feel like a soldier again. Don't get me wrong, it's great to be home, and I truly enjoy spending time with my family, but I have a strange sense of...homesickness for that lifestyle.  

I miss the sense of comradery. Knowing that someone would have my back no matter how difficult it was to do so.

I miss being forced to keep my room clean.

I miss waking up early!

   And  I appreciated my weekends so much more after a hard week at work.   I had fun things to do every weekend. My days were completely filled with company I enjoyed and excitement nearly all the time.   I suppose I can only hope that college is as much fun as living on Fort Leonard Wood.   I never thought I'd hear my self put "fun" and "Fort Leonard Wood" in the same sentace...What is wrong with me?    I am too excited for my college experience to begin so I can start over with all this fun stuff all over agian. And! In the spirit of the weekend, I'm linking up with Whitney again!   Let's get this party started! Although I might not have the most exciting of plans this weekend, I'll make it work :)

It's Called Life & It Happens

You know, I am extremely happy with my life right now.

That is something that I haven't been able to say in a very long time, and it feels so good.

I have been...stressed beyond belief for the past few weeks trying to figure out how to make my life possible. I am plannig to go to UNLV in a couple of weeks but I have no books, they haven't yet recieve my high school transcripts, I can't afford to life in the dorms, and they apparently hate the military because they suck at working with me...

But somehow, I am just...cool as a cucumber. (I never did understand that lil' similie...) I haven't got a clue how I am going to make this happen, but I have faith that I can make it all work out. Somehow I'm going to pull my shit together and make it happen.

I suppose that greatness is born from adversity...so I'm probably going to be really great by the time all is said and done.

I suppose that it's called life...and It happens.

I can't stop it. It doesn't matter how hard I try, it's just going to keep throwing curve balls and I'll just have to keep on trying to whack them out of the park. I think I'll be lucky just to get a piece of it, but I guess we'll see what happens!

Until then...

I am so very excited to be linking up with all of the following lovely ladies.

Chantal- Scattered Shells
Jane- Poppiness
Sarah- G.I. Joe's Wife
Jamie- Handling with Grace

I love to see link ups survive for this long! The great thing about the Walkabout, is there is nothing specific you have to write about. It's just a place where you can link up your post about anything under the sun.

So go on! Link Up :)
