Hello, everyone. I know that it’s been a while since I posted. I’ve just been really busy, as some of you already know. Well, here’s what’s going on. I’ll try to keep it somewhat short as to not have your mind wondering while you are reading this. I have been on terminal leave from the Navy since the beginning of July. It seems as though I’ve been working more now than I was when I actually went to work. In the timeframe between early July and now, we have gotten a lot of stuff done. We made a trip out to the Midwest to drop off some more of our stuff. Namely my truck and Harley. I miss them both. We have also gotten our house completely packed up and everything that we had in that house has been stored on our property in Texas, it’s been put into the RV, has been sold, donated or thrown away. I hate doing those moving purges, but I guess they need doing. We didn’t really want to move all the stuff we didn’t really want anymore. We were pretty close to the weight limit allotted by the Navy but we did come in under and that means that the move was free.
After we left the house for the last time, we went to Disneyland. We spent three nights and two days there and had a great time. Our last night at Disney was pretty freaking cool. During the day, we were on our way to go to Tom Sawyer Island and Nicole found a spot to get Fastpasses for the Fantasmic show that night. The best part was that it was the later showing of it. That was important because we had lunch at the Aladdin to get the Fastpasses for the Electrical Parade. We got to see the parade right at the start of it and that was cool, but because of that, we had time to get to the next show and not have to run. While we were in line for that, we met two wonderful young women, who just happen to work at Disneyland, and they made our time even more amazing. When Becka had a question about why they did things a certain way, my answer was simply, “I don’t know, I don’t work here.” But the young women with us in line would tell us the answers to those questions because they did know, they did work there. Cool!! We all learned a lot from those two. The Fantasmic show was amazing. Lights, water, fire, a whole lot of Disney characters, and just a wonderful show and we had a blast.
So now the time has come. I finally get some time to do nothing. Not really, I think I only get tomorrow because the next day, Nicole has a doctor’s appointment and then will basically be on bed rest for a day or two after that. I’ll get some time to do nothing at some point. Maybe. But you know what? I don’t really care. I’m having fun with my family and we are now able to dictate our own lives. What a great feeling. For those of you who have never served in the military, you might not completely understand how that feels. Just ask someone who did serve and they will explain it to you. If you actually need that, that is. Well, for now, we are set up in a park in San Dimas, CA and we will be here for about five days, I think. Then down to Camp Pendleton for a while until we are both done with appointments. From there, we don’t know yet. That’s all going to depend on how things go at those appointments.
Until next time, enjoy life and everything it has to offer. “Life’s a garden, man, dig it.” To quote Joe Dirt.
