Pain in the rear..

So while its getting closer to graduation, the guys who are being sent to Japan are all trying to find out what all they need to do. Which unfortunatly by going to people who they think should know this stuff who in all actuality don't know, they are getting the run around. However because one guy figured out how to find the information out that is needed he has passed along the much needed informaiton as to what and how things should be done. Needless to say Monday I have to go to the Naval Hospital and go see the Deployment Coordinator about my DOD clearences, as well as any and all paperwork that is needed.... THEN we do not find out the exact date for when we leave until THE DAY AFTER he graduates!! Which is when we also have to set up times for the moving companies to come pick up our stuff.
We now know that because of this twisted and messed up system, we will be arriving in Japan before our belongings.. so we need to bring all our clothing, Athena's dog food, our bathroom stuff and his laptop with us when we go. Then everything else will follow..... Talk about frustrating, now we have like no clue when to tell family that we will be home.. Have I meantioned that I hate doing things by the "seat of my pants" and that I like to have somewhat of a plan for how I'm going to do things... GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

more waiting...

I look at the calander and I'm amazed we have less than 18 weeks to go before we are "supposed" to be in Japan. (happy dance) Jason has been doing a really good job with his classes. He is currently second in his "class". And he complains that he has studied more now than he ever has in his entire life. My response.. "poor baby, finally is challenged to use that powerful brain of his." ;-p I usually get some smart comment back after I say that to him.
Also my time at Wal-mart is coming to a end. 7 weeks and counting. Now that I know some dates of when Jason wants me flying to California I figured that I aught to give them a extremely advanced notice, this way it may encourage them into hiring someone for me to train to take over my job.
Athena just had her one year booster. And she weighs 67.4 pounds. (another happy dance) As long as she doesn't gain 12 pounds over the next three months we won't have to pay an excessively large amount of money to get her to Japan. She has recenly discovered how to ask me to go for walks.. she goes over to where I have her harness and leash that we use on walks and bangs it against the wall, then whines. Then when I do take her out she calms down the minute we reach the end of the driveway and she walks perfectly!! The only problem is the silly dog can't seem to walk in a straight line...
My parents should be coming to visit within the next couple weeks. Hopefully I'll have the house looking a bit better than like a tornado went through here.. which is exactly how its looked for about a month and a half now. More news coming soon!!!
