Day 3

So I'm feeling pretty lazy today and didn't manage to take a picture... so I'll share one I took a while ago. It's of Carrick being his crazy self. One day we were hanging out in the living room and he grabbed my blanket and wrapped it around his head like a lion's mane. So here you go.... Enjoy!

Day 2

Meet Gamble. Our roomate's dog, named after some Ohio State football player. He once was a crazy dog who bounced off the walls and always wanted to be where your feet were, but in the span that he was dog-sat while our roomate when home, he became a normal dog. He no longer chews up our stuff or poops in the house which is great! Gamble is a collie but right now it's hard to tell because our roomate shaved all his hair off because he was shedding like crazy! So here's another pic of his nakedness.

Picture a Day

Hello Everyone!

So I know that I'm a terrible blogger and updates are few and far between, so I'm taking a new approach. Some of my friends have taken a picture a day and posted them and a little story about them each day, so I think I'll follow suit! And in my true style I'm late... so I'm starting with yesterday.


For some of you who haven't hear Carrick and I received orders! And from the picture you can guess that we're going to Okinawa, Japan. My yesterday consisted of doing research about Okinawa and ways to make our PCS (permanent change of station) easier. This website I found was great! It's a blog made by mostly women who have lived in Oki for a while and they share their experiences. The comments people leave are really helpful too.

So now I'm really pumped to move, unfortunately we have a long road ahead of us between getting medically checked, arranging our government movers, deciding what goes and stays, and soo much more!

And for those of you who are wondering we're set to be in Japan early January, which means we are taking leave for the whole month of December and going back to Iowa!

Well, that's all for now. Enjoy the pictures on the way!

Hello Everyone!
Another update... I got back from Iowa a few days ago, and had a great time :). I just finished training for my new lifeguarding job today so I will be starting within the next two weeks which I am excited about. That's really all I have to update on... I know, not very exciting.
I do have some new pictures... Some of our house

North Carolina!

Well we've made it to NC, awhile ago (sorry for being so late). It's great finally living together, and being together longer than two weeks at a time! I've set up the house and am taking good care of Carrick and our room-mate Mason. We live in a two bedroom townhouse. Kinda small but we make it work. I find stuff around the house to do while Carrick is at work, and I hope to start my new job as a lifeguard on base soon. We always have a great time on the weekends and have turned into quite the beach-bums! We usually go to Topsail Beach which is beautiful and close by, and is actually where Carrick proposed to me :) That's about all that's happening. My Mom is visiting this weekend and I will be going back to Iowa July 5-18 to help out at Camp Tahigwa and go to my cousin's wedding. I'm pretty excited for that because I'm missing Iowa and camp!

Our thoughts have been with our families who are experiencing flooding right now.

Just another update.... Carrick is still in NC and will be home in 1 Week! I'm just finishing up school with finals and last minute projects. I will be graduating soon! I'm looking forward to seeing all the family before I go, but not looking forward to saying goodbye. Other than that not much is happening with us. I'm busy with work and school and moving, and Carrick is busy like usual with work.

Well, next time I suppose I will be posting for North Carolina!
