So, I totally posted about my Olympics love*, but I forgot to mention how good my trip to the Springs was. I got to meet up with my girlfriend, L, who I hadn't seen in two years. It was so great to hang out and reconnect with her after all this time. It seems like it gets harder and harder to keep in touch with the people I care about as the years go by. As my family grows and we get caught up in every day errands and responsibilities, and your free time goes down to next to nothing, it makes it so difficult to pick up the phone or even write an e-mail! Anyway, my point is that I had a fabulous time hanging out with L, and I am super excited that I'm going to get to see her on a regular basis now** I also ran into a very old friend that I hadn't seen in almost 9 years. We were once so close that she sang at my first wedding. On top of all that, I saw another old friend from my SMC days, and I'm making plans to see yet another old college friend who is now teaching at the Academy for the next time I go out to CO. It'll be a Det 910 reunion! :) I also really like my reserve job. We are standing up a brand new Wing, so there is just a shit-ton of stuff to be done. One of my main priorities is to meet with all of our geographically separated units at some point in the next 6-9 months, so I may be traveling to some other exciting places in the near future! I also managed to find someone who can watch A for me while I'm up there in Sept for two weeks, so I don't have to leave poor Hubs with all the kids again!
* side note: Hubs is seriously losng it b/c there's a break in Olympic coverage and they're playing a story about panda bears. Poor Hubs!
**I wish I could come see all ya'lls so regularly, but the military won't pay for that :(

any of your travels gonna take you overseas????
it sounds like you are really happy being part of the military again. i know you missed it!
Sweet.!
I enjoyed that panda story by the way. Was that chick really a dude though??
ha ha joe... I was thinking the same thing about her. I thought she was a strange choice to put on tv, but then it was pointed out to me that she's a former athlete.
I had a great time too Nikki!! As time goes on and I continue to be separated from people I care about I'm appreciating my true friends more and more and it was so great to finally be able to talk (and talk, and talk) to you face to face! Can't wait to see you again next month :)
space brain right?
I totally didn't even see this part before I sent you that e-mail.
LOL.
