Hi all! Thomas comes back from Bridgeport on next Friday. I can't wait! I think I am going to make him(and for the house) a bunch of our favorite cookies as a "welcome home" from the field. On Friday before I go to work, I am going to put chili in the crock pot and make cornbread (aka my favorite meal) so that way he will have a nice homecooked meal when he gets home. Yep I am Betty Crocker of Camp Pendleton :)
Other than missing him a LOT...everything is going good here. I can't remember if I mentioned this in the last post but I just started working at the little exchange in North Camp Pendleton. It's a job for now and that's why I am working there. I had an interview with a Child Development Center yesterday and I think I did really well, but I have to wait until next week to find out either way. They had several interviews yesterday and today so I pray that I sparked something in the interview because I was the very first one to go. Whatever happens is whats best. But anyways that's all for now and plus its bedtime :) xoxo

September 2009
Hi everyone! We have lived here in California for almost 3 months now. We have made friends and lost some "friends" here but it's ok because we are stronger now. We have been too Knott's Berry Farm, Seaworld, Disneyland, and Las Vegas being the most recent trip we have made. We go to the beach here on base just about as often as we can. It doesn't get too hot here which is good. We are living life the best way we know how as two 21 year olds on a Marine Corps base.
We did find a church that we plan to attend regularly now. It is called Lighthouse Christian Church off base in Oceanside. We are praying that we get to come home for Christmas but it depends on if I get a call about a job at the MCX. If I do then I already know that I won't be able to get off work. It also depends on our finances too. Money doesn't grow on trees ya know?! Its hard living on base with no housing pay (because it already gets taken out automatically so its like not even having any at all) and Thomas only being an E3 rank and bills on top of that and after groceries...its tougher than I thought...I mean I knew it was going to be tough, just not this tough. I do Passion Parties too. It is kind of slow right now but that's because I don't really have the word out. I have only had one party so far, which was my open for business party when a few of my friends came over for support.
I am going to try to be more organized. It's tough for me because I get side-tracked so easy. I got an idea from Jon and Kate's website. (Yes, I am a fan of the show and I am Team Kate personally). The idea is for each week, try and have a weekly Bible verse, that way I think about God's word constantly not just on Sundays. And I am sure my readers can agree with me on this one that some weeks are tougher than others and you stray from the word and the truth. I am also hoping to get baptized at the church in Oceanside. Honestly, I am a believer and I don't know why I haven't been yet. Anyways I am going to go do some wifey chores but you are more than welcome to facebook me...I will probably be deleting my myspace soon because there is too much drama!! And we don't need that in our lives!! Talk to you guys soon!! xoxo
