Only 8 weeks until my wedding!  It makes me very happy to know that I will be getting married in 55 days and from there, living with Joshua for 60 days before we start work.  Well, he'll be working the entire time, I'll be on vacation :)  Josh is currently really hoping he doesn't have SERE training while I am on my 60 days leave.  I agree.  I would really appreciate it if he were around and could take some leave with me while I'm on my leave.  We'll see though.  He should be getting his training dates sometime in the next week or two - absolutely no later than the 26th though - so 19 days or less!  And then we'll see.  This Friday, he gets his base which is exciting for me.  I hope he'll be going where I am so I don't have to fill out join-spouse paperwork...so there you go - we'll see.

I got a gel manicure almost two months ago and it damaged my nails so I am now suffering through trying to grow out terrible nails.  It's so frustrating since my wedding is in a little over a month.  If they haven't recovered by then, I'm going to have to get acrylics even though I want to just get shellac (which does very well on my nails).  I don't know.  It's just...frustrating.  Half my nail is still left to grow out.  I'm using a nail and cuticle conditioner at least once weekly if not more often to try and help them grow.  I am probably going to try to get a buffing block too so I can try to polish them into looking...somewhat decent.

Benefit to top off: my door can be shut permanently now.  Which is awesome.  That's going to be so exciting.  I am very happy about it...

Double-digits!  I'm in the double-digits until my wedding! :)  Wohoo!!  I am so excited to be moving forward and be almost at graduation as well..

Sadly, sequestration has made it such that the Thunderbirds will not be flying over at graduation.  Which is a highly depressing thought but I am trying not to think of it in those terms.  Yeah, it sucks that we don't get a flyover but at least I can potentially leave USAFA sooner in the day.  When most grads can't leave until 4 or 5pm, 2013ers can probably leave around 1pm!  So that's a benefit.  Less time just standing around waiting :)

School is going well.  Only 21 lessons left until the end of the semester and the end of my undergraduate career.

But seriously...I'm marrying Joshua in about 90 days.  Only 3 months until I can forever have sleepovers with my best friend.  I can't wait!

I wasn't able to post for a while since for some reason the internet kept giving me an SSL Error.

Anyway, I am only 127 days away from graduation and am only 130 days from my wedding.  I am very excited and everything seems to be coming together well for the events.

I have been working out lately which has been getting more fun.  When you don't suck, it's actually kinda enjoyable...

I really don't have anything to write...

I am so glad this semester is over!  It was such a long, brutal semester and I am thankful to finally be done.

At home now and I am going through all the boxes in my room deciding what I want to keep and what I will throw out.  There are a lot of memories in the random stuff but I am moving on.  I no longer need to have memories of 9th grade National Science Olympiads.  I am getting married and moving into a new stage of my life.  I'll keep the trophies but I no longer need the t-shirts that I competed in.  That sort of thing.  Lots of clothes I no longer wear which I let Allison rifle through before I take them to Goodwill.

AND!  I had my violin repaired today (which is awesome!) so I've been practicing.  I've played for an hour already and will probably play for another hour or two.  It feels so good to have my violin in my hands again.  Brings back so many memories and I love playing.  Makes me so happy :)

I am going home in five days.  Three more days of school, a day of study, a final exam and I board an airplane to come home.  I am pretty excited about that.  Plus, I get to see Josh in 17 days.  Little things.  It's the little things.

Four day week and then I get to see Joshua!  That makes my life so much better :)
