It's been a while since I've posted and a few things have changed. For starters for those of you that didn't know, I have a job! I started September 23rd. I'm back up at the VA and I'm getting the same pay as I was before (technically 500 bucks a year more). I was hired as Secretary for Research. I've mostly been purchasing so far.
Not long after I got hired, Kasey and I signed for an apartment. We moved in mid-October. It's small, but we can manage for a year while we get money figured out and Kasey works on his credit. Then we'll be able to start looking at houses! We have both Yzzy and Chester back. Yzzy still needs to get acclimated to Chester again. She's even more neurotic than I remember. We're having some problems with Chester being even more stubborn than before lately also.
Living alone together with just Kasey and I feels weird. We hadn't lived alone together since the beginning of January. We need to get back into the groove of things but I like it. It's exciting and fun.
November marked our 24th month of trying to get pregnant. It's definitely been a rough time. I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago. Basically I'll probably be having another surgery in January some time, but the date isn't set in stone. I'll be going back to see him at the beginning of year and come up with a game plan and Kasey and I are just going to try and relax and enjoy the holidays together. This will be our 4th Christmas as a couple (he was in Afghanistan for our first). I can't believe how much time has passed.
I've been working on my writing a little more. I've got 22 pages done. 22 pages probably doesn't seem like much to a lot of people, but that's really great for me. I haven't been writing much at home at all. If I did, I'm sure I'd have so much more done. But my idea is coming along nicely and this rough draft is getting most of my good ideas down, and then I'll go back in and add more stuff. It makes me feel accomplished to write. I've just been distracted because I've really gotten into playing Skyrim and it just sucks me in when I have other things I need to do.
I'm really feeling Christmas this year. I'm so excited and all I want to do is get out and shop even though we don't have a ton of funds at the moment. I can't wait to get the tree up and decorate. I need to get more ingredients and make my favorite tea(however I can't find the recipe). I've been enjoying a ton of egg nog...maybe too much. And I really just want apple pie all the time. Now all we need is some snow!!
The deer season just ended. Kasey is pretty bummed he didn't get anything. But that just means he'll try harder next year. And I'll be going with since I've got my hunter's safety! I'm mostly really excited to try for an elk. He's doing really well in school and still working security on the weekends. I'm really proud of him :)
That's pretty much it for now. Just a normal update. I know I wanted to write more, but I always go blank whenever I'm getting to write on this.
