Well

It's been a long while since I've updated this! Um... we've been helping a friend move recently - the new truck is coming in handy. We have no new updates on Greg's deployment yet. Married life is kind of boring right now. It's not bad, just not much to write home about.

In fact, the most exciting thing that's happened recently is that we both came down with the stomach flu really badly. Gross... just gross. We were trying to do a couple of projects around the apartment on Saturday and we were going to finish them on Sunday and that just didn't happen.

I've started a couple of new knitting projects - a circular rug that is going to take a really long time to finish, some new dishcloth styles, my own design for a dish towel. I'm kind of frustrated with making wintery thing in the spring and summer at this point! So coming up with some more year round things. It's been fun.

I've gotten back into running. Up to about 1 1/2 straight right now. It'll take some time to get back up the distances in this area, because everywhere I can run from our house is full of hills. And I mean full of hills! So it makes the distance harder, along with the altitude up here and the lessened oxygen.

Well, Greg's on rear detachment while his unit is in California undergoing a month of training. He's okay with it, but they really do keep him busy. And every Wednesday he has to pull a 24 hour shift called CQ - Command of Quarters. Basically he sits in one of the common areas on the first floor of the barracks building and hangs out all night. Occasionally he has to walk around the building to make sure that it doesn't burn down and that no one is doing anything that they shouldn't be. So I'll go in and hang out with him during those nights. I usually end up falling asleep for a few hours at least. But other than that we watch movies and it's actually a lot of fun for me. It's like a sleep over.

Well, that's about it for current events here.

Love you all
