Shipping Out

We just found out when Jeremy will be sworn in and shipped out. He will be sworn in on August 13th in Norfolk. He will be shipped out for OCS (we think to Rhode Island) on September 29th. It's a little sooner than we thought, which comes with its typical benefits and hindrances. Jeremy is just happy that it's finally moving along. All-in-all, things are pretty exciting!

Life after Harry Potter...

Is there life after Harry Potter? I confess; I anxiously awaited the final installment of the series. I pre-ordered my copy. I speculated and theorized with my fellow HP fans. I read the last book in less than ten hours, greedily pouring over it's chapters while unabashedly ignoring my husband. And then it was over...

I'm not sure what I was expecting. I finished reading an incredible story and I was...sad. Even though there was a happy ending (relatively speaking), I mourned after the fact. There's no more speculations and theories to share. No longer can we have heated debates over dinner about what the last Horcrux is. It's just...over. The end of a story. Life goes on...

We're In!

We just found out that Jeremy's application for the Navy was accepted! He's going to be a Cryptology Officer, which is exactly what he wanted. We are so excited! We don't know any of the details yet, like when he ships out to OCS, but we will have some say in when that is.

I've really got to start learning some other languages! I hope we land in Italy!

I'll keep you posted!
