Life Lately

I figured I would end the week with what is happening in our neck of the woods as of late.

*I am officially 9 weeks away from finishing grad school! I said that out loud to Kyle last night and it felt weird. In 36 months I will have received a bachelors and a masters, that is insane to me. I am so grateful for the Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits that Kyle transferred to me, because of that we paid nothing for my education.

*Since we are not going to New Orleans for the race in a few weeks. We decided to plan a fun trip with my family at the beginning of June, it will be a great way to end our time in Louisiana.

*Speaking of the move, I have all of the documents together that we need for housing (with the exception of Kyle's orders). It will be nice to send all of that information off and get put on the waitlist. Housing on post there is crazy because it's 1st come 1st serve. If you aren't there to accept a house, you are SOL. Thankfully we have friends there that we can give POA to so they can accept a house for us before we arrive.

*My back is slowly feeling better, yoga has really helped so far. It's not 100% but I'm getting there. Also, giving my body a break from running has been nice. I'll be doing a 5k next weekend to just keep my body moving but I'm not going to break any records. :)

*I finally did something for myself and got a new phone haha. Mine has had a pretty good crack in the screen for a while and I came due for an upgrade. I got the iphone 7 plus and I'm so glad I did. I've already tested out how waterproof it is haha.





*Last night we were able to see a very dear friend of ours who is home on leave from Afghanistan. He and his wife have been friends and mentors of ours since we got married, and now they have become family. It was his first time meeting E and it was really awesome. I am so thankful for all of the wonderful people that the Army has placed in our lives. They are E's psuedo grandparents now and we love it.

I hope you all have a great weekend!
