Soo apparently summer is over... This would be noticed by the last week of camp ending, the horses going home and us spending about 6 hours cleaning up the tack shed/stall area. Kind of bitter-sweet 'cause I'm not sure what's gonna happen next year... I know Peyton won't be there... he's leaving for Air Force basic training in September and probably won't get time off for camp... I don't know if I'll be there, depends on where I'm working and where Tim and I are living... It's all just very confusing and stressful right now.
School starts on Wednesday... I'm kind of excited 'cause I know that I've got a lot of fun classes... Already heard back from one prof that he doesn't care if I use my computer to take notes on... YAY! I love using my computer to take notes on, last semester my hand hurt so bad I could hardly take notes by hand... it was miserable. This year I've got a wrist brace that'll hopefully help some... We'll see.
I'm also getting a new computer! Well... I'm getting a tablet... the new Toshiba Thrive has a full-sized USB, full-sized SD, mini USB and a full-sized HDMI port, 10 hour battery life... user-changeable battery and back cover... Tons of stuff. Dad got a deal on it on Amazon so he ordered it sometime last week... I'm just waiting for it to show up now!! It's gonna be so much fun!! My current laptop is kind of dying... it doesn't start up as fast anymore, freezes randomly, doesn't shut down all the way all the time... the internal wireless died last year so I'm using a little adapter critter to run internet and it still doesn't connect real well all the time. I've had it for 3ish years anyways (maybe a little longer, I don't remember) so it has lived out it's life I guess. I've done really well with computers, I'm only on my 2nd one (tablet makes 3) and I got my first one when I was a junior or senior in highschool (I graduated highschool in 2008). I'd say 2 computers in 4 years isn't too bad! And I'll be hanging onto my tablet as long as it runs.
Also at the current time I'm waiting to hear back from KSU, I'm not even sure at this point whether I should be hoping to be accepted or not... I mean, I'd love to go out there 'cause I love the research that they are doing but Tim won't be out there for much longer anyways soo... I don't know... If I get declined then I'm gonna apply to a few schools up in the Rochester area I think... or I'll apply to a business program at Gannon... I could be happy with either one of those... I guess it'll depend on where I end up in the next 3 months!! (Yup, only 3 months and 20-some days until graduation!!)

Random Thoughts from an Army Wife...
Soo officially I'm not an Army wife... I admit that... but I AM gonna be an Army wife soon so I'm gonna claim the title :D Ya'll are just gonna have to deal with that.
Anyways... Tim is currently out in the field for a 2 day FTX... he gets back to base on Friday then leaves again on Monday for a 10day FTX... lots of training!! He's been way stressed for the past few days too... there was talk of possibly staying back during the 10day FTX but I'm not sure if that'll happen yet... We'll see. I kind of hope he ends up going 'cause I don't want anything to happen that'll make him end up leaving (I know, that sounds weird that I WANT him to stay in the Army but I really kind of do!).
We are getting a pool put in at the house... We got a bunch of trees taken out a couple weeks ago, then while I was in Kansas they got the hole dug, yesterday they got everything smoothed out and today they are actually putting up the pool!! YAY!
It's been so much cooler here than basically everywhere I've been the past 3 weeks... I spent the last week of July up at camp and it was pretty warm... then I spent 10days in Kansas (80-100degrees the ENTIRE TIME!) and now home has pretty decent weather!!
I found an exercise plan online yesterday that I'm gonna start working on as soon as I get back from camp. I don't really want to start it now because the week at camp is gonna screw me up and I figure that since it's only another 10 days until my schedule gets to something normal I can wait that long!! I'm hoping that I can actually keep on track with this one and get in decent shape by the next time I see Timothy.
The county fair starts in about 3 weeks... I still need to work on getting a ride 'cause I'm taking Buckwheat... I really hope that the people I usually trailer with will take me even though they aren't taking any animals this year... Oh well. Worst case scenario I just ride him down!
Well...I've got lots of things on my to-do list and I need to get to work on them... I'm gonna try to start updating daily (or at least every couple days!)

Back from Vacation!
So, I had an AWESOME vacation!! Preteen3 at camp with Timothy... we had a great week, I was head wrangler and it went pretty well, had a great group working with me though so that definitely helped.
After camp I went on a vacation to Kansas! Visiting with the hubby! Working on getting paperwork done so that we actually have housing after our wedding ceremony this December! (Eh, who needs a house right?! lol) Well... I don't really have much more to add... I'll be getting home late tonight so I'll probably update some stuff about home and mice and all that good stuff either later tonight (ha, don't count on it!!) or tomorrow... maybe... Not sure when I'm driving up to Rochester to get the Twig-dog but I'll let ya'll know!
