Ok I am studying again. It is actually not that bad. I bought a program that helps you study. It can make up test questions, play games with the questions, and gives you coins to open new games up. Sooooo, I am determined to get the coins. (I guess playing the Nintendo games and wanting more points has been brainwashed into me. LOL)

So my goal was yesterday to read a chapter out of the book I was reading then study some more. Well, I finished the book yesterday. So no more books until I get on the plane.

Later today, I am going bowling with Amie and D. We have planned it for a month. I had fun last time and want to do more things that make me happy. Spending time with friends definitely makes me happy.

Later tonight, I am going to my sister’s house to have a small birthday party. I asked for the party since I have not had one in three years (thanks to deployments) The last one I had, Austin got to pick all the decorations out. (His favorite color is green) So, we had a Saint Patrick theme. Green hats, green necklaces with little green mugs, green plates and napkins, and a green cookie cake. It was fun. I gave him some money and he bought me a present. A necklace. It was the best birthday I can remember. I asked my mom for a same cupcake for my birthday cake for tonight. Well, it turns out; my sister planned this dinner to go along with it. The menu: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce, and gravy. Umm, no mention of cupcakes. Well, see.

Late tonight, I will study again. I know sad for a Saturday night, but I don’t want to spend money or go out. Just want to TRY to past this test.

Study Study Study.
I have a huge test in a few days. I am really, really trying to study. In the past few days, I have so far .... read two books, cleaned the kitchen, created a facebook account, bought some new clothes, did a few loads of laundry, and started packing. As for study time. I have study 3 out of 19 sections. (scored in the 90s) and created some quiz questions. I still have the weekend and a few days next week before the big test. I am trying, just not motived.

So I thought I would join the bandwagon and start a blog. I said it was going to be one of my New Years Resolutions and it only took me 25 days to get it started. I am not going to make myself a false promise and say I am going to blog everyday, but I am going to try.

The first few days of this year have been a bit of a blur. I am planning on packing up my life (once again) and moving halfway around the world. I will be moving to Korea. This was a planned move, but not like the rest. I have been in the military for the last 14 years. I have lived in Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, Panama, Wyoming, Texas (again) and visited Iraq a few times. Now, with a few years left in my career, I have decided to take a tour overseas. This has a lot of benefits. First and most important, my family. My son and I have lived in Texas for the last 8 years. I figure before the military decided to send me "somewhere" ... I would pick the "somewhere" and plan out my future a little. So, a year in Korea then back to Texas. Second, the rest of the family. My parents moved to Texas a few years after me. Took a little adjusting, but they like it here. My mom talked my sister into moving and both moved here last year. I have been away from them for a long time. It is nice to have them around. Third, it is time for a change. I love my life and I don't have any regrets. I just want to make some improvements. The only way to make change ... is ... so shake things up a bit. LOL. There are a ton more, but these are the important ones for me.
