7 weeks

i have not been back home for 7 weeks. which means i have been in clarksville, tn for 7 weeks straight. i didn't even realize how long i've been here until i was talking to my mom tonight. some may say "7 weeks, big deal" and to them i say "you are mean." ha, no really though - i have been living on my own and self-sufficient for 7 weeks. (aside from the fact i'm living on my husband's pay check haha. and don't get any funny ideas because i live on my own... with a gun.)


last semester i went home every week after zach left for about a month, and after that i didn't stay for much longer than 2 or 3 weeks in clarksville without making a trip to marietta.

so, here are a few things i've learned:

1. how to calm myself down after a nightmare

2. how to not freak out when my neurotic dog barks at nothing outside

3. how to avoid scary shows/commercials

4. how to listen for a running toilet

5. how to join a join a church, even when it is intimidating not knowing anyone



so, there ya go. nothing really interesting, but i am sort of proud of myself. needless to say, i'm ready for a permanent roomie... (ie: zach) :)

OH let's celebrate that 1/3 of the deployment has passed and that in a couple weeks we'll hit the 6th month marker!
