Where does the time go?

Andy left for Wisconsin on the 17th. Days are difficult with him far away. Although he distance has given us a chance to work on our communication skills and get back on track. All the days I was working days and him nights was hard on our marriage. We're surviving though, no worries. Military life is a hard adjustment. It is especially hard being so far away from everyone and everything I know.

No fears though! I have made some girl friends and have been going out and about doing things. Just last night I went and had dinner with several of the ladies from my work. It was a good feeling to go out and do something like that. It would have been no big deal to have gone to dinner with friends back home, but here it seems like a rare occasion.

Last weekend I drove to the other side of the island with my friend Danielle. She works in my classroom in the morning. I drove and she directed me where to go. While I was driving, I remembered a lot of the roads and she only had to tell me things when I asked. I felt really proud of myself for remembering. But Andy does ask me all the time, "do you know where we're at". So I tend to pay attention to things.

We went shopping all afternoon and spent some of Andy's hard earned money!

I guess that's all for now. During the week I come home and talk with my roommate and then with Andy. It's nice he stays up very late to talk with me. But hey, he's on vacation so he can sleep in late. I'm going to hopefully do some more exploring on my own next weekend. I'll keep you updated! Bye for now.
