Lately

My life has been nuts lately. We have had several inspections since I got back from school. They were difficult to say the least. People were staying over the weekend and working til all hours of the night for two weeks straight. We finished a while ago and we are getting ready for another one in the spring. The stress level is high and people are very happy to be going on holiday leave. Unfortunately for me, I got stuck with the second leave period, so I am in Florida by myself for Christmas. Matthew got first leave period and he is already back in Wisconsin enjoying the weather and his family.

I miss Wisconsin and my family a lot. The weather is still in sunny and warm like summer. It finally got cold here the last few days, and it rains a lot, so there is some precipitation, but it is not snow. And the only point of cold weather is to get snow and go sledding and such. And plus I miss my family like crazy. I have never had a Christmas away from them. I guess that comes with the territory of the Navy though. Luckily for me, John is done with finals early enough that he can come down for Christmas. I am very excited for him to come visit! Hopefully it will be nice and warm so we can go out and tear it up. It will be nice to have family in town for the holiday. It is very lonely and depressing down here without Matthew around. Plus works sucks. I am sure it will get better. But feel free to drop me a line if you are free. I assume if you read this then we are friends. No one else would read this. Hah. Talk to you later.
