So I haven’t really updated the blog on what has been going
on the last few months, besides my class assignments I have posted. I started a
new job in October. I work now at the Library on base. I really love it. It is
difficult at times, but I enjoy what I do. Helping people with topics that they
are trying to understand and lead them to answers. I have been able to read many new books that
I wouldn’t have thought of reading before.
The holidays were not too bad. We spent Thanksgiving with
friends from the ward. They had a party and it was fun being with many great
people. Christmas, Jeff had to work, so I spent most of the time at home
watching Christmas movies. When Jeff came home, we had a nice dinner. This was
our first Holiday season together as a married couple. Last year would have
been our first, but Jeff was at basic training. On New Year Eve we went again
to that friend from church’s house and they had a party there again. Got to
Love Hampton Ward and their members crazy parties, Jeff and I fit in way to
well, it is funny.
Now the beginning of the year, Jeff is on nights till March,
so some weeks Sammie and I sleep on the bed to keep one another company. Jeff
bought me Pepper-Spray to care with me when I walk Sammie at night, just in
case. I first thought he was CRAZY, but
now I have come to appreciate it and love the thoughtful gesture for my safety.
So I work 30-38 hours a week during the day and do homework in the evening.
Jeff sleeps all day and works in the evening. So when we do get to spend time
with each other it is precious to me. I will say I am selfish when it comes to
spending time with my husband, but I think right now I have a right to be.
Sammie is doing well, and he likes having one on one time
with us. I feel better about not leaving him home all
day by himself. Sammie and Jeff are best buddies, and they
love playing rough house with each other.
I just want to say to all my friends that had their babies
in the last few months. CONGRATS! I am so excited for you all and love seeing
the pictures on Facebook.
