And we have arrived

By
Sooooo sore. Only 5 hours of driving today and we arrived in Columbia early this afternoon. Damm got his cellphone back and we started texting, then he called. This is still not technically allowed but the drill sergeants were turning a blind eye-every single person in his platoon was on the phone. So we've been talking on and off all afternoon. It's rather weird-he's changed so much. In my opinion it's all for the better, but still, he's not the same person he was 10 weeks ago. So it's almost as if it's the first date all over again. I guess deployment (or basic + AIT) is one way to keep the spark in your marriage ...

Tomorrow we'll be arriving a full 2 hours before Family Day events begin. Because the base will be swarming with family members we have planned to spend most of our time in the shade sitting on blankets. Friday I get briefed and sign Damm out. Actually his mother will have to sign him out since I'm not driving at all at this point :D Damm and I have lots of doing-absolutely-nothing planned. Things like going out to lunch, taking a nap in the nicely AC'd hotel room, going out to IHOP because he's been dreaming about it. Well, I guess that's doing stuff. I'll revise my statement to we're not doing exciting stuff. All of this including the Orclette, of course. Damm has declared that she won't leave his possession the entirety of our time here :D

I wish there were a way of flying back to NM. I'll make it through the drive but I will be SO done with traveling. I think the relatives will be so done with traveling with me: I like it cold, they like it hot. Last night we had one hotel unit with two rooms. Mine felt like it was properly AC'd. When I ventured into their room it felt like I was stepping outside. Tonight it's only one room with 2 queens. Guess who won the temperature war? The pregnant lady of course. Both of them are currently huddled into their blankets. It's seriously not THAT cold ...

And now I'm waiting for Damm's freetime to begin and him to call me again. I had forgotten how fun it is to talk to one's spouse :D

Hi there - I've been a longtime reader. I live in Columbia. Do you need anything while y'all are here?

I'm so happy for you. Sometimes doing nothing at all with the one you love is the best thing in the world. Have fun and best wishes for the rest of your traveling when you get to it.

Ok, this is probably the last time I'll sign as Blu, but it feels weird not to since that's what you knew me as in game.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

For the Empress and the Motherland

By
I finally got the gluing done after getting generic brand normal freakin original superglue. Gorilla glue foams and takes 30 min to dry. The guy at hobby lobby obviously misunderstood me or was a complete retard. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt seeing as he was dealing with me in full on manic state. So I'm really excited about my new hobby and cannot wait to start priming and painting. For those that play I'm planning on playing mostly with pIrusk to start but eventually fessing up the money for a jack heavy Karchev list. Because jacks are awesome and -nearly- jack warcasters are also awesome. Anyways thats what Dammy is up to. Our blog has wavered a lot in focus from its origional WoW roots but that is life. Right now I'm kinda interested in Cata but not a lot. Without a surplus of interest from Wulfa I'm very unlikely to return to the game. School kicks up next week. Cannot wait. Even with books being as expensive as they are(and yes th...

Guildless.

By
Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.
