Weekend Update

Good grief, where in the world did this weekend go?  Wherever it went it did it fast!  Gosh, I can't believe it's Monday again.  I know these next six weeks or so are going to fly right by, so I'm going to enjoy all of the time I can here.

First up?  Let's talk about Cyndi Lauper and Cher.  Why?  Oh, I won free tickets to their concert, that's all.  And ever though they were nosebleed seats, it was a fabulous concert.  Joel didn't really care for Cher, but we were both belting out some Cyndi Lauper.

Chere had a costume change after almost every song.  She is certainly a diva, but she worked that stage!  She could have put a lot of younger artists to shams, sans Pink.  No one can outshine Pink at a concert.

Saturday we had plans to go out on a boat with a co-worker of mine.  We went, but it rained a majority of the time, so no new tan lines for me.  Also, did I mention that we drove through a tornado warning?  Because, unaware, we did.  It was quite terrifying after the fact.  Pandora will do that to you.

 

Sunday we took all three pets to the vet to get their records in order for the move.  Two dogs and a cat at the vet are a nightmare, but the place we go is absolutely fantastic.  I will miss them dearly when we leave.

Then it was a night of The Tonys and Game of Thrones.  Of course, the Tonys were fabulous, and it seems like I was a fan of most of the shows this year.  It was fun to see Idina Menzel sing a song from the show we saw a few weeks ago, and Ramin was fabulous in the 3 seconds he actually sang in Les Miz (why couldn't he sing Bring Him Home for me?!).

Game of Thrones, well...let's just say it's going to be on this Sunday during the finale.  We already have the episode penciled in on our girls' trip.

Five on Friday

 

 1.  Happy Friday folks!  Wow, I don't know how it's continually possible, but I am more elated for this Friday than I have been lately.  We have had so much going on, it's been crazy.  This week we had our house inspection, appraisal, radon test, and termite check.  It hasn't been hard for us, but we're still waiting for the all clears, so that's been a tad stressful.  But, we may have some great news...

2.  Instead of going to Korea, there's a chance we will be moving to Okinawa, Japan instead!  Long story short, we had an assignment there back in February for a whole day.  Then, the Air Force switched us to Korea.  Now, the guy they switched us with can't go for whatever reason, so there's a good possibility that we're getting switched back!  Nothing is set in stone, of course, but I much prefer this location over Korea.  I mean, come on...wouldn't you?  Look at it!

3.  Tomorrow, I was invited to spend the day at a co-worker's houseboat on the Lake.  Umm...yes please!  That lovely tan I had while in Mexico is sadly no more, and this pasty girl needs some color!  So, there will definitely be a lot of this going on tomorrow.

4.  Also, next week is my girls' trip to Seattle!  I am so stoked.  I need some girly time away.  And although I'll miss Joel, I'm glad he'll be home to watch the boys.  I hate when we have to kennel the pups, and our normal dog sitter is unavailable due to being 7 months pregnant with twins.  Selfish!!!

5.  I don't really have a five for today.  There's just been so much going on, and so little free time, and now I might be moving sooner than anticipated.  I will greatly miss the St. Louis area, even more so than I thought when I first found out we were moving.  It's getting "real" now that I may never be back here, so I have so much to do to in the next six weeks so I can experience as much of what this great city has to offer as I can.

The only thing constant is change

 

It has been quite the week for me here.  We scheduled our HHG shipment (to send our stuff to Korea), we looked into Extended Stays for when our house closes, and we I also had my job interview (of which I have not yet been told the outcome).

Well, ladies and gents...they say to never count on anything in the military until you get orders.  Without going into any detail, because we don't yet have a 100% solution (as if we ever do), that saying might not be true.  We have orders, and things still might be changing.

More to follow soon (I hope)...
