Sooo got a call from my man yesterday! He says he's doing good... starting today they have their FTX (Field Training Exercise) that will last pretty much all week I believe... He's kind of excited about the whole thing which I is nice!
After that... he'll have like a week or so of "recovery" (basically cleaning he says) during which he may or may not have his phone (some people say yes, some say no, basically it's one of those things that can change from company to company!). Sooooo I'm EXCITED!! WEEE!! We are ALMOST done!! By the time I see him we'll have not seen each other for just over 6 months... at least now I know how long a 12month deployment will take!! (the answer is FOREVER by the way!! lol). After he gets home... I've got plans for him MWAHAHAHAHAHA. Soo yeah... that's all the news for now!!

Life Sucks... but not always!!
Sooo yeah... Timothy had a 36 hour pass yesterday and today... it was awesome but now I'm kind of... sad... oh well, only a few more weeks!!
----------Other News----------
The chickens are doing well, they're all growing... the adults have been free-ranging for the past couple days... not really heading outside much, not sure why... but I've been having to go on a royal egg hunt every single day since I started letting them outside!!
I've started really looking into graduate schools... Right now I REALLY like the looks of Kansas State University (perhaps because Tim's gonna be stationed at Ft. Riley!) but it's also a really good school... now, I've just gotta get accepted!!
I'm not sure what else there is to talk about... Tim has started talking about getting married this summer...He's saying maybe we'll just have a courthouse wedding and then have the "real" wedding at a later date... I'm not sure... I mean, I'd LOVE to but... I'm not entirely sure if my parents would let me! We shall see!

Rain Rain Go Away....
It's raining... still... It's been raining since I woke up at 9:00 this morning!! When will it ever stop?!
Today's agenda includes... mailing letter for Tim, (no picture though today 'cause I think the envelope is already too heavy) and then getting home to eat, feed critters, etc...
Hopefully I don't have to SWIM to the barn!! And hopefully the road isn't covered with water... water near the State Gamelands was pretty high this morning!
I SHOULD print DF a picture but... I think I'm gonna do it tomorrow since I can't mail it today anyways...

I'm BAAACCKKKK!!!
Haha, it's been a month since I've updated this... news (in no particular order)....
Birds - the 6 from TSC are GROWING! Fully feathered now, living in the chicken tractor which I've placed in the barn due to the copious amounts of rain and wind we've been having. The 4 that I hatched are no more... one just disappeared one day and then I went out one day and they all 3 were dead :( oh well. I have been getting about 6 eggs a day (up to 8 some days!) which is cool.
School - FINALS WEEK! I've got my theology final today, Accounting tomorrow, Physics Wednesday, Vert Zoo on Thursday and then I'M DONE! I can't wait! Hoping that grades turn out as well as I'd like them too!! I have been looking at some grad schools... found one in Mississippi (MSU) and they have a bunch of pretty cool looking research projects, lots of wildlife management type profs too. I'm going to look into schools in KS today (more on that later)
Tim - is alive! Doing good too! He called on Sunday, just a 13 minute call but still a phone call! Today they had their final PT to determine whether or not they'll actually be able to graduate from BCT and move on to AIT. I'm not really worried that he'll have problems but there's always the chance that something could go wrong. If he didn't pass I'm pretty sure he'll get a phone call home to let us know. Assuming that all goes well he thinks he's going to be going to Ft. Riley, KS after graduation... I already found a few ladies from MSOS that are stationed there and they said it's really nice (it's also the reason I'm looking for schools in KS!!) I'm not 100% certain that that's where he's going (nothing is ever "final" until it happens!) and I don't know how long he'll actually be stationed there but it's still cool to hear that he'll most likely be stateside!! There are a few people from his company that are going to Korea right after graduation, not that Korea is BAD but it's just SO FAR AWAY!!
Over the weekend I went up to Rochester for the Rochester Youth Conference, met tons of friends, had a great time. Scott DeGroff was the speaker, he is SUCH a GOOD SPEAKER! Every time I hear him I'm amazed at how well he can get his point across. This weekend the focus was "In the Pursuit of Christ." It was really good. I stayed with Bob and Bonnie which was a little rough (sleeping in Tim's room without him there...) but I survived and had fun. Got to see my lil' (almost) nephew, Carter, he's getting so big! He'll be 1 in May and he's starting to learn how to walk!! It's so cute!
Georgia plans! - Got my plane ticket!! I fly out of Erie at like 1:15pm and fly into Atlanta at 7:15-ish. I've got a 2 hour layover in Cleveland but my options were 2 hour layover or like 45 minute layover, I figured that since Jess's plane doesn't come in until 8:30 I might as well have the longer layover in case something went horribly wrong!! Less chance of me missing a flight! I cannot wait to leave!! Only a few more weeks!
Well... that's all the news for now! I'll try to do a better job of keeping you updated!
