Tempus fugit, Time flys.

I know it has been months since I posted anything. The past few months have included some great times, some heart ache, some visitors, and some really boring times. We really got settled in right about Halloween, all of our stuff was in and unpacked and that was a great relief since we were sleeping on the floor for two weeks! We absolutely love being out on our own and being together. In early November Justin's mom came to visit, which was a much needed at the time. It was so great to have a piece of "back home" (as Justin says) here with us. Our first Thanksgiving was a success! I didn't burn the turkey... in fact it was actually pretty good. In December I turned 20, very thankful to be out of my teens. Right before Christmas Justin finished his training and after a little bit of time off starting doing his actual job working on the U2 and he loves it! My sister and her boyfriend were out here for Christmas (not just to see us, his family lives close), and they left engaged. It was nice that we got to be a part of that even though we are normally so far away. It was a great year full of many first for Justin and I. After celebrating New Years, came Justin's 21st birthday, which he was really excited about. But now he is back to studying working on CDCs booklets, a continuation of training. He is working very hard to be the best Airman he can, volunteering, and planning to do college as soon as he finishes the CDCs. We've lost two loved ones since being here, one being very recent, Justin's best childhood friend. It is very hard to lose someone close to you but we can get though anything together. It has been very hard for me to find a job since being here. At first I limited my search quite a bit because I didn't want to do a job I didn't love, now I am at the point I'll take anything that I won't hate but even that limits me because the base is quite secluded so I'd prefer to work on base rather than drive an hour or more to a dead end job. (I wouldn't mind driving if it wasn't a retail, fast food, $8 an hour job). None the less we are doing great and loving our lives here. We are excited that our anniversary is coming up quickly and can't wait to celebrate that milestone in our lives. The past few months have flown by, it feels like it was just weeks ago we were moving in.
