New Chapter

With 20 minutes until my boys' bedtime, I'm going to attempt to blog.

Today was full of goodbyes and hellos.  I spoke to my boss again today.  He was very upfront with me and told me that my other boss had made up his mind and was unwilling to budge on his decision.  I no longer have a job.  I talked to my boss for quite awhile because we have a pretty good relationship.  He genuinely cares about his employees.  I could tell he was upset by this whole thing, which made me feel better about it.  He asked me all kinds of questions to make sure that I'm ok and that I will be ok.  We said our goodbyes and I cried.  Yeah, I'm terrible at goodbyes.

But it is ok.  I'll be fine.  I would have been leaving my job soon anyway to move and be with my soldier.

I got my fiancee's orders for his duty station today!  Fort Hood.  Before anyone asks, yes, that was where the shooting happened.  And before your minds start whirling, let me just remind you that it was a person who was dangerous, NOT the place.  So, I'm very excited.  I've never been to Texas before and I've heard great things about Austin TX, which is about 1 hour south of Fort Hood (I think).  It'll take some getting used to for me, new place, new weather (I'm a Florida girl here!  Anything below 70 I think is cold!  LOL).  I'll definitely have to go shopping for some warmer clothes.

It feels soooo good to finally have a little direction.  Up until now, everything has been up in the air.  Now at least I have a destination and I can start looking for jobs and housing there!  I'm so excited!  And I've also been talking to some girls online who will also be stationed there.  Look at me!  I'm networking already!  :)

Ok, gotta get the young'uns into bed and then bed early for me too because they both have dental appointments very early tomorrow morning!
