We have a date and Flowers!
Greg's Last day of the Army will be July 8th. This is an exciting and scary time, but I know everything will turn out good. The next few weeks are going ot be hectic as hell, but I'm sure that'll make the time go by quicker. And soon, we'll be living with Greg's parents again. Almost seems like a step backwards, but it'll only be temporary until we have enough money saved up to be able to buy a house with ease. (yeay for severance pay!)
On another note I'm posted some pictures on my flickr page. They are of my colorful flowerbed.

Time is drawing near...
My husband is basicly on his last step to getting out of the military. The ending of this chapter of our lives is most bittersweet. One the one hand, I'm glad he's getting out and that we're leaving this life style. We're going to be moving closer to home, which is good because we'll be able to see our family a lot more. We won't have to worry about annoyingly close neighbors now. Oh, and there's that whole, we don't have to worry about him getting deployed any more - that's always a great big plus.
However, along with getting out of the military are the uncertainies of life. Being a soldier is a secure job - you know it'll be there tomorrow (even if you're not). Also, during the transition phase, we'll more than likely be living with his parents. luckily, their house is nice and big, but we'll still be moving an entire house and trying to fit it in a single bedroom. So most of our stuff is going in to storage for a while. I think that thing that has me worried the most is the financial situation that we'll be going in to. That is the most uncertain part about this whole thing. We're going to be relying on things like unemployment (which he's going to get after getting out to help cushion the blow) and then, whatever jobs I can find.
It is just scary. I actually woke up at 5:30am this morning and because I was worrying about this so much, I could not go back to sleep. It is actually making me a little queasy to think about what a big change this is all going to be. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is all going to be for the better.

Our lovely Military

I'm not a big fan of either YouTube or MySpace, but come on. Let these soldiers that are overseas have some fun and contact with the real world - even if it is watching some dude get hit in the balls with a baseball bat or chatting with a 17 year old girl back home.

10 Weird Things
I was tagged by my friend Morgana to list 10 odd things about myself:
1.) I have to look at a light to sneeze - this is hell in the middle of the night.
2.) I'm 21 years old and I'm completely debtfree and I refuse to finance anything else in my life aside from a house.
3.) I had professional pictures taken of my dog. (What? I won them, I wouldn't pay for them, hehe)\
4.) I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 11 years old
5.) I am known as the "ANL Machine" at work (ANL is my initials if no one has figured that out.) because I'm so efficient at the tasks given to me.
6.) I put taco sauce in my salads
7.) My eyes look brown from far away, but they're really mostly green.
8.) I get excited by new household cleaning tools.
9.) I like having my hands played with. Hands are very intimate to me.
10.) Last time I gave blood to the Red Cross I passed out in a bathroom.
Well, I'm supposed to tag 10 other people, but I'm going to say no to that. I don't know that many people, hehe.

So It's been a few months ...
I haven't been keeping up with nearly as much stuff as I used to on the internet. There were messageboards that went without my wittiness and my unsurpassed knowledge and my arrogance (apparently!) My blog (And waffles's) has suffered. My own website has cobbwebs draped over my hotbuttons.
But alas, my dear children, all is well in the world of Loebick. I'm still working as a Game Advisor (I get a raise soon, yippie) and I'm continiously working on my novel - Flames of Winter. I've actually had the first draft finished for a long time, but I've just recently picked it back up and started the 2nd revision. My poetry has been limited to the few lines that I've written for my novel, very simple stuff that don't have too much thought to them. Recently Rewritten:
T'was the night of Winter's Eve
And the Maiden of Faerie wept.
The love of her life had gone away
and to her a promise kept.
I will be back on spring's first day
and true love we shall achieve.
My love to no longer grieve.
Like I said, it's not much.
I'm still living on Fort Campbell, though in much nicer quarters. I live in a recently remodeled brick duplex instead of a condemned pastel townhouse. The entire family enjoys it more. We're still waiting for Greg's medical chapter. This hurry up and wait shit that the military is so fond of gets tiring quickly. Hopefully, We'll be outta here by summer. Wish us luck.

Teddy Grahams
Proof that there is a god somewhere out there and he/she/it loves me. I love the honey flavored teddy grahams and I really have no idea what the appeal is. I tried a more dignified and grown-up alternative, Honey Graham crackers, and they just don't cut it.
