congradulations !! i wish you a safe trip and watch out for the bugs there. i swear they are all on steroids. i have never seen bugs bigger than the ones in oklahoma ! lol.
Congrats!!! Your only going to be about an hour away from me. While you are there you should go to Meers. They are located at the Wichita Mountains and they have pretty good hamburgers...they make them from Longhorn meat. Its pretty hot here too but by the time you get to this neck of the woods it will have coolen off a lot.
psssst....fyi, you say yes drill sgt. otherwise you get yelled at LOL Just a heads up.....unless for nat. guard is different but in nomal bct you say drill sgt. Good luck though! It will be tough but you can do it!
Dusty: Bugs aint nothing compared to the South (Georgia and Alabama) or Maryland. The roaches in both places are big enough to put KS or OK to shame. Never seen any bug too huge in either place except for Wolf Spiders which get HUGE anywhere.
As for Oklahoma bugs, you ain't seen nothing 'till you see the june bugs and wood bores......oh and the foot long taurantulas! I grew up spending my summers there and my dad was an entamologist so i got to see all kinds of weird bugs. I am learning many bugs here too........lol I had a huge millapede by my front door last night that one of the dogs brought in.................yuck! And the palm caterpillars are really weird.
Here I am!! I've been gone for a while, or at least not posting much lately. I just figured I needed to spend less time with the computer and more time with my doggies and doing constructive things around the house.
I'm taking it all in stride, I guess. I'm not really thrilled with the idea, but if it makes my man happy, then I'm ok with it. I'm not really thrilled with the idea of living by myself- I've never ever lived by myself. That's gonna be a change. And having to find someone to mow, shovel snow in winter, etc. well that's gonna be fun . I told him not to worry, that I'd be fine with scooping snow, if not my dad has a snow blower so he could come up once in a while and do that for me. I'm just really scared I'm going to miss a house payment or a bill or something. Also am VERY scared of being all alone for 9 weeks. Although we have friends that said they'd make sure I'm ok, but they live 1/2 hour away from me, lol. My parents live right in town, as do his parents and one set of grandparents. My bro lives about 20 min from us, his bro lives about 1/2 hour in the other direction from us, as do his other grandparents, and my grandmas both live about 15-20 min from here. So it's not like I have a lack of support around here, but still am just worried. I'm sure I'll have a lot of nights where I'll just sit around and miss him. I tend to get depressed fairly easily. This will be the first time we've ever spent more than 2 nites away from each other. I'm very scared but I'm sure I'll get through it all right.
But don't worry he will be stationed near Lawton and that is the most boring place ever. I swear they are 20 years behind the times. LOL!!! You can't even get a tattoo there...because it is illegal. And he won;t have to worry about snow. It might snow once while he is there but we only get a couple inches. Mild winters are very popular here.
now that that is outta the way. I want to let you all know that I worry more about my mollie mae than i do myself. i am taking great care to insure that all the bills and direct deposits for my pay checks are set up perfectly and that she only really has to be time conscience about 2 or 3 bills that i pay. I am looking into hired help for lawncare and snow removal so my honey's mind can rest on that too. As for being alone... i hope she knows that its a two way street. I will be with others but away from the one i care about the most. I have been talking to our mutual friends to ensure that her weekends are filled and that she has people calling even just to chat. Do i spoil my wife? no. i love her, and if in doing all this perparation for her to ease her having to be alone is what it takes to show her... than love is a cake walk :P love ya Mollie Mae...
for those of you who caught my OOPS i accidently poste4d under Mollies IP... HAHA had to delete it fast

That just made me a little misty-eyed. He is soo sweet to me and I know that he cares about me a whole lot. I'm just going to miss him tons while he is away. And now that I've been told it's basically a Guards' war, that scares me the most. But I'm sure I'll be fine and well taken care of.
Brad's cousin that just graduated in May, just got married to a guy in the Air Force. He just left to go overseas yesterday and while I was doing a brow wax on her sister, she called and was just bawling. I'm afraid that's how I'm going to be. But she's also in a different place too. They moved to Grand Forks, ND right after they got married and now she's pretty much all alone, with her family all here, in Iowa. I just felt so bad for her, she's only 18 and has only been married 2 weeks, today I think. I feel worse for her than I do myself because all her family is here and she's basically all alone up there in a strange place. Luckily she does have a couple friends to talk to when she's feeling lonely.
I'm sure I'll be fine, as I said I have all of our families right here in town and a bunch of friends not that far away either. I'm sure I can manage scooping snow this winter, but I'm definitely not one to mow lawns, that's for sure!! lol
Thanks, Stormy!! I know I haven't been the best Furum member lately I haven't been on nearly as much as usual, in the past few weeks. Don't really know why, I think I've just decided that I don't need to spend every waking moment online to make my life complete, lol. I feel really bad 'cause I used to talk to a lot of you guys and now it seems like I don't have a clue what's going on anymore. I'll try to be a better Furum member and mod from now on. I just have to know my boundaries- 3 hours online at one time is too damn long!! lol Thanks for the support though. I know I'm gonna need it!!
dude...you got more balls than I do.....by joining up. Hats off to you! We'll take care of little Miss Mollie on this end......we'll keep her busy here and help get her mind off things. I think its cool what you are doing man. Good luck to you.
