Ok so there I was wearing only one argyle sock....

HA! right!

Today has been a no knit day for me even though tonight was knit group at BAM. I just didn't feel like making the trek through the construction detour. I guess I'm kinda bummed knowing my husband will leave here in two days to do training for his new job. His schedule has been changed twice. He was supposed to have left yesterday, first change he was supposed to have left tomorrow... change two has him leaving thursday. After that I won't see him for a month. At least thats what they said. He's going to school in Italy and before he goes to Abu Dhabi he's flying home to get his tools. *shrug* Even though he'll be gone a considerable amout of time I feel that this new job will be good for the family.

Currently we are living in Ohio. This isn't quite exactly where we want to end up. After we both were completely out of the service we decided to go back to Ohio(where I grew up) to spend time with family. The more we stay here though the more unhappy I am and am reminded as to why I ran off screaming to join the Army in the first place. This city has a way of dragging you down. Making you feel like youre in a pit of despair that there is no escape from. Luckily for me I know better. I've seen the beautiful mountain sunsets, smelled the fresh(er) air and fondled the silk roving at Table Rock Llamas yarn store. So we've(mainly me) decided to move our butts back to Colorado. I think though we should wait till the begining of next year. I still haven't broken the news to my family yet. I'm kinda nervous to. I'm in my 30's and still feel like child sometimes. Oh well.. I know I'll find a way to turn it into a positive for them.

I think I'll go and do a few rounds on the sock I'm doing now and find something on the tube. Yahoo is being exceptionally crappy today.. whats up with that? I posted a messaged to a group hours ago and it still hasn't gone through.

The beginning of next year isn't so far away. We'll still be here then! :)

That is exactly how I felt about my hometown. And I did the same thing after getting out of the Army. as you know, that didn't last either. The saying "you can never go back home again" is mostly true IMHO.

Chin up. I agree though, next year is too far and knitting socks makes everything better :)

We love you!!
