Cali, Here I COME!
Well, I'm ready to start flapping my wings to fly myself to California! The Navy booked my flight at 7pm! I'm trying to get onto an earlier flight, but everything is booked solid! I MAY get on the 3pm flight...and if that doesn't work, the 5pm.
Please God give me a safe and timely flight!

"Home"
James and Mike made it safely to San Diego on Sunday. Mike flew back to Chicago this morning...so now James is all by himself...unpacking...he called me today and really sounded sad. I asked him if he was OK and he said that he just really missed me! It feels good to be missed. Lately we've been really stressed (moving, me taking boards, logistical nightmares...) you get the picture. But absence really DOES make the heart grow fonder. It's only been 5 days since we last saw eachother, but now it's also like 2,000 miles! I can't wait to go "home!" I'm so glad I have someone to go "home" to, even though it will be in a new city/state/occupation/etc!
Just feelin kinda homesick tonight... :)

Forgetfulness!
I just realized that I forgot to post the pics from the party! These are from my graduation/commissioning/going away party on June 9th.....
Me and the princess....or is it Grace?
Of course I put away the camera before the water balloon fight and then the whole "lets throw kina and gretchen into the pool" incident...... haha what a fun day!
Playing in the pool...this beach ball was HUGE! It was like 4 feet in diameter!
The grandmas (James parents' parents....everyone got along great! I was so happy!)
The kids in the pool...Sofia is the one in the blue/green suit. 
James, me and Mikey with his bum leg...he couldn't climb any trees!
The people that wanted to be photographed...There were some stinkers that didn't want to be in the group photo!!! 
I really like climbing trees! But do not attempt this in a skirt, unless you are wearing a SWIMSUIT underneath! :)

I'm in Pensacola!!!!
What a CRAZY day!!!
I got in a taxi around 12:15, got to O'hare by 1:30. My flight left at 15:00 and I was in P-Cola by 17:15. THEN comes the fun part!
I got a pretty red Toyota corolla for a rental car....with a GPS system. Let me tell you, this was the greatest thing since sliced bread! I would have been in Alabama by now if it weren't for this handy little voice telling me to "turn in 0.2 miles!" (And then "re-calculating" the directions when I missed the turn! haha) I'm glad they didn't program the voice to say something like, "Idiot! You missed the turn! Turn around and go back!" HAHA oooooohhhh I crack myself up! :)
Right this moment, I'm sitting in a DELUXE hotel room in the BOQ (Bachelor Officer Quarters). I have a full size bed and 2 TV's, 2 couches, a desk with high-speed internet, 2 walk-in closets with an IRON and ironing board!!!!!! I am SO EXCITED! :) :) :) Yippi! I think I danced for like 10 minutes to myself when I say my rooooom! Anyways, it's really nice and I love being a Navy Officer! I have a grin on my face from EAR to EAR!
James and Mike are on their way to Arizona today...I hope they make it by tonight. They have gone so far in only 2 days! On a different note, I think my sister has a "thing" for Mike E......she has been calling them quite a bit! And the morning they left, when they were eating breakfast at my parent's house, my sister woke up at 5am. She NEVER wakes up earlier than she has to, so this was a VERY rare occurence. Sooooo yeah. She's never dated or anything, she's a big tomboy. We'll just have to see how this goes! How neat (or dangerous!) would it be to have Mike E for a brother-in-law!???? HaHa
Well, my tummy's growling at me...time for some dinner. And some exploring of the base. Too bad I don't have my camera!

Whew!
Life has been going too fast this weeek!
The movers came Monday and took all our stuff to Cali.
Wednesday I took my NCLEX, or nursing board exam. I PASSED IT!!! That means the state of Illinois thinks I am competent enough to be a nurse.....whoa they need to maybe think twice?? haha
Thursday, or yesterday......James and Mike E packed everything into the blazer and got it weighed. Then James' big ugly truck got loaded onto a car-hauler on its way to San Diego.
This morning the guys left for California. They drove all day, and by 5pm they made camp in Tulsa, OK. That's approximately 666.4 miles from my parent's house in Lockport. Only another 1400 miles to go! The movers will get our stuff to our new apartment on the 18th. James and Mike will HOPEFULLY get there by Sunday night the 17th. Please keep them in your prayers!
Anyways, I am flying out tomorrow (Saturday) around 3. I'm headed down to Pensacola for a leadership class. The class is a week long, so it goes until the 22nd. That night I fly to California. I still have NO IDEA where this leadership class is! I have called so many people and offices...and no one knows anything about it! I'm really trying not to just scream out loud....or is it SOL? haha I think I may get a rental car for the weekend, just till I find out where I'm going on base and everything. I'm reaaaaalllly nervous because I always get lost! I really like PLANS. I hate "flying by the seat of my pants," which is what this leadership class is starting to be.
Can I just say this? AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, that felt good. :)
Anyways, aside from that little break in sanity...here's our new address:
8679 Lemon Avenue, apartment #11
La Mesa, CA 91941
I still want to send out some cute address change cards in the mail.... :)
More to come later...
