Anyone here?
Hello *echos*
Wow, who died in this place? lol
So no one has written in a long time. Everyone must have super busy and important lives. ;-) Anywho, I will update you all with what's happened with me:
1. New Job
I'm in my 4th week at Epsilon Systems Solutions, a defense contractor in Mission Valley. Good company, good people...by jove I think I've got it! It's a totally different industry for me so I am definitely learning a lot. I hope to get busier as I learn more about contracting. Oh and if you rolled your eyes when I said "defense contractor", yeah I understand, damn military won't leave me alone!
2. Navy
A few of you might not know this, but I am pursuing joining the Navy. I haven't decided if I will apply for Officer Candidate School or if I will join the reserves as an officer, but I am 99.9% sure it will be either or. I've taken the aptitude test, though, my recruiter has suggested I take it again; I shall. A lot of studying has to be done for me to get a competitive score, so wish me luck on that. I'd like to give my current job a chance, but I can't escape this call I have to join. I may just end up joining anyway. It's going to be a process, so don't think I will ship out to boot camp next week. I am putting myself on a training plan, which the Navy suggests for at least 6 months. I don't plan on dying 9or being humilated) at OCS, so working out regularly has got to happen. I'll keep you updated.
3. Church
I've found myself re-committing to church, finding a small group, getting my life right again with the Big Guy. I'm trying out a new small group on Thursday,
CO-ED...wish me luck (I'm nervous). I don't want to sound preachy or anything, but reading the Bible has really helped with all this frustration and pain the last week. I've felt very spiritually disconnected the last year or so and I am using my recent experience to draw closer. I'm pretty excited actually. :-)
Anywho, that's a brief rundown of me. I'd love to hear from you girls, I think about you a lot. Oh and Congrads Anna, I just found out about your big news!!!! I always knew you could do it - for serious. ;-)
Love you all!
