Coffee Break...

So today I had a test in Vertebrate Zoology.... it wasn't too bad... I'm pretty sure I missed a couple points from one question though 'cause I don't think I really answered it as fully as I could have... but I couldn't really remember anything else to put down. :(  Oh well!!  Otherwise I think school is going really well... Need to check some grades but we'll see... 
----------
CHICKENS!! I had two baby birds hatch out yesterday! The first one pipped sometime during school (noticed it when I got home at about 3:30) yesterday and was out of the shell by 5:00, it is a silvery grey color with brown "eye-liner" and I'm pretty sure it's got fluffy little cheeks!!  The second one pipped around 8:00pm and was out of the shell by 4:30am (dumb dog decided to start playing with a plastic cup).  It is pretty much all yellow with a black dot on the top of its head and FLUFFY CHEEKS!! (I'm gonna have a whole flock of cheeky chickens!!)


The Americaunas I picked up at TSC the other day are doing well. Everyone is eating and drinking and pooping... and cheeping!! They are SO noisy!! They are starting to get all their little wing feathers in!! It's so cute!! I'm hoping that it'll be warm enough for them to go outside in the chicken tractor by middle of next month... They should be fully-feathered by then but, again, we'll have to wait and see!
---------
Got a letter from Tim on Monday night, two actually... He basically just sent his new graduation date and his new address. Apparently his toe is healed enough that he can get back to training.  He said that he was having a great time and that it was good to be working with a group again so I took that as a good thing!!
---------
Well, I've got other stuff to do and emails to check... I'll be back later!!

Calls from Georgia!

Got a call from the fiancee today! YAY!! He has sent me a letter! I LOVE letters!! Anyways... he's gonna talk to a medical somebody tomorrow and see if he can get reassigned to a company, he's hoping that he can restart this week and get in with Bravo company 'cause they graduate in June.  Otherwise he'll be restarting with Foxtrot company and have to redo EVERYHING (Bravo company is already in week 2 which is where he left off).  So we're hoping for Bravo company and an earlier graduation date!! YAY for men in uniform! I can't wait!! :D
--------------------
Puppies are getting SO BIG!! Next Sunday some of them are going to their new homes! Gonna be a little bit sad but DEFINITELY gonna be nice to have them out of the house!! The little messes!! LOL
------------
School is going pretty well, took my second test in Vert Zoo lab... I think it went pretty well...
Got my test back for accounting, got a 96 on it!! Definitely have an A in that class... So I'm thinking I've got A's in Physics lecture and lab, Accounting and Invert lab (8credits) and a B in Invert lecture and Vert lab (4 credits) and I've got NO idea what I've got in Vert lecture (3 credits).  So I've got a decent semester so far!! Hoping for more good luck through the rest of the year!

No News is Not Necessarily Good News

Hey All!! Got a call from Timothy on Sunday... We got to talk for like 30 minutes!! And he got to call his mom and best friend as well!! YAY!!

Anyways, as of Sunday he was unsure whether he was going to be restarted or coming home but I'm assuming that since he hasn't called yet he's been restarted or going to be restarted.  The odd thing about it is that I'm really, really comfortable with it... I really don't know how to describe it other than it seems like this is what God wants right now, maybe I'm just actually paying attention to what He's been saying since January!! Either way it's a nice feeling to be able to think to myself "yes, this is OK with me."  I also found a great website that has been SOO helpful www.militarysos.com, tons of people on there from all different branches of the military and they're all military significant others so they know what I'm going through.  If ya happen to stop by send CrestedTern a PM!!

That's all the news for now!

Life Sucks

Got a call from Tim on Wednesday. His paperwork was stopped and he'll be staying in GA for another 2-3 weeks until his toe heals (its broken) and then he'll be restarting basic training... Aiming for a graduation sometime in July or August I guess... Sooo I dunno when I'll see him again :-(  In the meantime I'm just praying a LOT and staying in touch with some other people who have husbands/significant others in the military...  It's gonna be a rough road but I'll live!!

-------------
Puppies are growing... Most of them are eating raw with a vengeance, even those of them who don't have a particularly lot of teeth!! LOL  All the pups are spoken for now, just waiting for them to reach 8-9 weeks and then they'll be headed to their new homes!

-------------
Real life is calling and I don't know what else to write so I guess I'll be going!
