Hello everyone! I haven't posted in almost 3 months, that is horrible! Well, I now live in Kuwait. I am not in Iraq anymore, so things are a lot safer. There is no "excitement" anymore yay! I got paid a little less due to not being in a really dangerous place, but then in December I got promoted! So now I am a 1st Lieutenant. Add that to my anniversary raise and the Jan. 1 raise and I'm a happy camper.
Speaking of money, my husband and I have made it our goal this year to get out of debt completely! We managed to get it to under $12,000 (down from $52,000) by the end of 2011 and we will have it all paid off by the time we go on our R&R trip to Hawaii this spring.
Today is a frigidly cold day in Kuwait. You would think that with the fact that it gets as hot as 140 degrees F in the summer, that it certainly can't get very cold in the winter. Well, you would be wrong. It is 45 degrees F out here today and the wind is terrible. At least 8-10 mph. Today will be a long time spent at work (yes, Saturdays are not free days when you're deployed... and Sundays off are rare for officers.)
I am very excited and happy to be able to say that this is the year that I go home! And we will really go home too, to the house that we bought together. Also, if you weren't aware, now that I am in Kuwait, I live on the same camp as my husband, so we see each other every day, but we don't live together. It's frustrating but I have to admit it is much better than being totally separated.
Off to do more exciting things, talk to you later!
