Whoa...

oh. my. goodness.

Last night, I totally reunited with this guy named Colin that I used to know. He and I were in elementary school together and I was totally going to marry him. Like, that was my mission in life - marry Colin. He was like a brainiac, cute, smart, funny and I just happened to like him. And I found him again on FB. And he's still a brainiac and smart and funny.

And he was in CAP. (OH MY GAWSH)
And he was applying to USAFA (bad experiences in CAP caused him to stop)
And he's studying Engineering (sexy degree program, lol)
And he's going to Harvey Mudd (where I almost applied - but I decided I didn't like the school colors, hahaha)
And - get this - he tried to find me like two years ago. And his best friend told him to stop, leave me alone, and let me get on with my life.

I've been trying to find him for years on FB!! Like, YEARS. Finally found him.

Was up until like 3am talking to him...
Good times
Good times...

Death

So, this is kinda a seriousish post but lately I've had a lot of people wondering why I'm joining the military and aren't I afraid to go to Iraq and all this other crazy stuff. So, I'd kinda like to settle it all.

1) I am joining the military cause I want to. There are so many benefits to having a job when I get out of school, guaranteed pay, and having medical/dental insurance as well. It's a great deal - I don't know why everyone doesn't do it.
2) Also, as a first-generation American, I sort of want to give something back to this lovely country - thus USAF.
3) I am not afraid to go to Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran or anywhere overseas. I always wanted to travel the world and if God so destines me to start said travels at an Air Force base in Baghdad, so be it.
4) I am not afraid of dying while serving overseas. If that is my fate and that is how I would best serve the military, then I'll do it.
4.1) I am kinda afraid of it hurting - like if I were shot in a non-fatal spot and died from infection or something, lol. I could care less about the dying bit but I'd prefer if it didn't hurt a whole ton, k, thanks.
5) I would not be terribly upset if I were stationed to a 10-year tour in Nebraska. I'm sure I could find some way to amuse myself.
6) It. Will. Be. Awesome.

Thanks everyone.

Update

Ahem. Jason asked me to be his girlfriend so I guess we're dating. The end.

I AM AN EAKER CADET!!!!! My Eaker finally went through (but was backdated to the 25th of April, lol) and I am now officially Eaker #2060. :D
I.
Am.
So.
Excited.

Star Trek

Yay! I'm going to see "Star Trek" today!! I'm going to drive to Lancaster and get Jason and we're going to go see it. Then, I'll spend the night at his parent's house before driving back to DE to take Adrian to the dentist on Friday. :) I'm soooo excited!! Yay! It'll be awwwwweeeeesome. :D

And so yeah, Friday, Allison and Ian are going to shadow a student all day at New Castle Christian School so I'll have the house to myself. Adrian will be at Dickinson, Mother will have started work, Allison and Ian will be at NCCS.

Speaking of mother and work, my mom is going back into the work force! She was hired by Boeing after being out of the work force for over 15 years!! She's going into Systems Engineering or something like that. I'm excited for her - I think it'll be good for her to get out of the house and the "homeschooling mom" shell. Go back to work - regain a life so to speak, lol. :) It'll be good for my dear mother. Especially as she is rapidly becoming an "empty-nester"...

Hi

So, Saturday Lauren came over and slept over for Sunday because we had Point-to-Point on Sunday (rain or shine, lol). Well, at 11am, just when we were almost leaving, we got a call that the parade was cancelled due to rain. How lame is that?! So we decided to go to the Plane Pull instead. But it was cancelled cause of rain too!!

So, Lauren and I went and got Caroline at the airport, went to Wal-Mart and bought tie-dye kits and t-shirts. :) And we tie-dyed at my kitchen table, hahaha!! Kinda stained the shower when I decided to hang the shirts to dry in the shower, lol...

Then we went out and saw "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" at the movie theatre. It was really cute and we laughed hysterically throughout it. I actually felt kinda bad for all the couples trying to have a nice snog in the back, lol - I'm sure our laughter was ruining all the romantic moments. For example: the final scene in the movie is this scene on swings where the girl is sitting there and the guy tickles her and they swing together (on dif. swings lol). But because of my recent incident involving the male gender and swings, we just laughed! And we kept waiting for her swing to break so she could "fall for him" like I had done, etc, etc... It was pretty funny, lol.

After the movie, we got Rita's Water Ice. (yum) and went to David's Bridal. And we invented a whole story to tell the attendants in the bridal shop. I was engaged to Jason, my ring is getting sized (which is why I don't have it) and we're thinking of a November wedding. :) Hahaha - it was awesome - and David's Bridal...was closed. :( So we wandered around every other closed shop and finally just went to the National Guard base to get Jason.

And we toured around the firehouse with Jeremiah while Jason got his stuff and we sat in the trucks and pretended to be firefighters. :) And then we finally left, lol. Dropped Caroline back off at the airport and I took Lauren and Jason to Acme - where we bought half-and-half - and then to home where we had dinner. Which involved an interrogation from my siblings - poor Jason, haha! It was kinda crazy...

Then mine papa and mother drove Lauren and Jason back and I came along for the ride. ;) lol Nice hour long drive back with lots of chances to laugh and have fun. And then I had to go into their house when they got there to try and get my hoodie back but we couldn't find it so after like 30-45 minutes at their house, Dadsy finally decided it was time to leave and we left.

What a great day though. Like, the whole P-2-P thing being cancelled sucked but the rest of the day was fantastic. It was like a G.N.O. but it was daytime haha...

Yeah...awesomeness...

Fridays

What I'd really like is someone to take up my Friday nights. Someone to take me out so I'm busy and won't end up babysitting every Friday.

If anyone wants to/knows anyone who would be willing to help me out, let me know or hook me up.

Thanks.
