A Life of Insanity

Life is a dizzying collage of moments, some moments are bad but others are good, I love the good moments like I'm sure you do too. In the past month my life has been blessed with plenty of good moments. We found out I was medically approved for the move, we got our tickets scheduled, our packers are set to come at the end of this month, my husband has graduated from the school the army sent him to, we visited family, went to Myrtle Beach, got to hear the joyous news about my friend giving birth to her first child, met our 6 month old niece for the first time, the list can go on and on. 

This is why I've been so absent from here. I have a feeling that until my move is complete that this blog is going to be a once a month thing, so that I can unload what is going through my mind.  Its been surreal thinking that in a little over a 2 weeks this house will be empty and in a little over a month I won't be in the country anymore. I have been seeing friends and family and planning on them to be goodbyes yet hoping to see them one more time before we go. Its emotionally draining.

But the silver lining here is that when I'm emotionally drained or stressed, I knit. I have been knocking out some socks, a few shawls, and a hat or two since I last posted. I also started a podcast! You can find it listed under my name, Jessica Wainer! There has only been one episode so far but I'm about to record my second one and once I am a little more tech savvy I will probably embed them here so that they can be viewed.

The nice part about being in the military is that you don't really say goodbye to fellow soldiers/airmen/sailors/marines, you say, "See you later!" even when they are from another country. We had to say see you later to the Korean couple we were sponsoring throughout the army course this week. After spending six months getting to know them and learn even more about their country (Hubs and I have been there before) we were sad to see them off. We are already making plans to visit them soon and have them visit us when we get settled into our new home.
