Kelly's First Blog

Erin wanted me to contribute to this, so I guess I'll start today.

It was a hell of a Monday. I had to train people on the parade for POW/MIA day, that was fun and I'll miss it. I wish I was marching in it since it'll be my last, but someone has to show the others how to do it. I also learned today that a new list of reenlistment bonuses was released. My career field is on the list... but... I already extended last month so I'm 99.9% sure I missed out on over $17K. That sucks, but you have to take the good with the bad. I extended to take the orders to Scott AFB, and we'll be WAY closer to family so it's a blessing. I just wish I could have the blessing AND the money. I'll find out more tomorrow, but I don't hold much hope.

Erin's kicking butt on packing... look, hummingbirds... anyway, she's got a lot of boxes packed. We're going to move ourselves. We got a good deal on a truck and trailer so we should make some money and have more control. We'll probably never do this again because it's nice to have someone else do all the work, but it's worth a shot at least once.

Ian's getting smarter by the day. I cant believe he's potty training. He gets so proud of himself when he goes. He's progressing WAY faster than we expected. I know it's a long process but we were putting it off out of fear, but it worked to our advantage. I took him out for about 3 hours on Saturday and he didn't have an accident.

Ok, I'm starting to think about losing that money again, so I need to go practice with my bow or something to take my mind off of it. At least bow season is only two weeks away!
