Through the Looking Glass

Hey! I know I haven't blogged for you guys in a really long time. And
I'm sorry. But things have been hectic. We're about to go to Australia
twice! Hehehe. And we roll our sleeves tomorrow!

And I've already got a bed picked out for mark. Much like mine..but on the opposite side of where I live. Like..right across the row from me. So that way we can
have paper ball wars or something! Hahaha. Yeah right. Mark would
probably own me. He's a big scary guy! He would definitely own me.

Let's
see here. This deployment's almost over. So I don't think I'll be
blogging for you guys until the next deployment unless Trina decides to.
It looks like I'm going to be a marine recruiter after this! It's
exciting. I don't know where I'm going to be recruiting. I'm leaving it
all up to Trina and where she wants to go to school at. But I've been
talking to her about moving by our friend, Larry, in Kentucky. We'll see
how that works out. Trina told me she has a school she'd like to go to
there anyway. So we'd be by Larry and Trina would be able to go to
school! You know?

So we start rolling our sleeves tomorrow. Hehehe. I'm
counting that as a turning point in the deployment. There's only a
little over a month left! And then I'll be cuddling Trina to death. Yes.
I'll cuddle her so much that she will probably die. Die from being
overly loved. Heheh. That's all I can really think about right now. Only
a little over a month until I get to hang out with you Mark! I hope
you're ready! Just bring your camera, a sleeping bag (we won't have
linens for you. I won't even have linens), and a week's worth of
clothes! I'm pretty sure there will be classes for you guys. We'll see
how that works out. And that's all folks! I'll see all of you really
really soon I'm sure. I'll at least call a bunch of you anyway. *waves*

Well, it looks like Kevin will be going to Recruiter's School at the Marine Corps Recuit Depot in San Diego. We're pretty excited about living in San Diego.

Since we will only be there for a few months while he goes to school (July-October), we decided to spend a little more and get an apartment right in San Diego. He will have only a 7 minute drive to MCRD. So we'll make up the cost of extra rent in gas money alone - considering the price of gas is probably around $4/gallon in San Diego!

We've already picked out our apartment. It's newly built and here are some pictures:







Our apartment is right near the pool, which should be pretty fun! Kevin and I LOVE to swim. We're like a couple of fish. Last summer, we went swimming every day after work. We swam so much I ended up getting swimmer's ear. Ouch!

Our apartment also has an air conditioner!! YAY! In our old apartment we didnt have one and it got terribly hot during the summer. On some days, it was 85 degrees in our apartment, and SUPER humid. It also comes with other fancy things like - granite countertops, 9-foot ceilings, a fancy sliding door on the shower (i'm really excited for this, our old apartment only had a curtain and it was a pain to avoid splashing water all over the bathroom).

A little over 1 month until Kevin comes home!

I CAN'T WAAAAAIT! *squirm*
