Ok, I feel better...somewhat

Okay, update on last night's post. I feel better about this Air Force thing, still a little worried about it, but I think I can handle it. I talk ed to TSgt Malone today and found out that I won't be shipping until December which means no Christmas or New Years with the family, I may miss Kati's 16th birthday too. That kinda sucks, but I guess I'll have to suck it up. Guess that's all for now...

So, I've been thinking (which can be dangerous)

I am starting to feel like I rushed into this whole Air Force thing, and didn't completly think things through...I really just don't know anymore. I'm feeling alot of apprehension about it, maybe I made a mistake, and the worst thing is I'm not sure who to turn too. I don't want it to sound like I am trying to back out of a commitment, because that's something I do my best not to do. I am really second guessing myself and wondering if it is what I should be doing. I have been praying about it, but it seems like I'm not getting any answers...somebody help.

On a lighter note, I watched "The Bucket List" today, it is really an inspiring movie. As a result of watching it, I wrote a "thank you" letter (of sorts) to the one man, who (outside of family) has had the biggest impact on my life, Mr. Bret "Coach" Tyler. I wrote it, just because I realized that I had never let him know what he did for me, much less thanked him for doing it. I also started a "bucket list" of my own.

So far:

1. Leave an impact on someone's life for the better
2.Take the ride of a lifetime
3.Enjoy the view with the one I love
4.Go sky-diving
5. Snorkel/SCUBA dive the Great Barrier Reef
6. Learn to surf
7.Be on Television

So, thats what I've got...

Just An Update...

Just an update on my life...

I am working at Ceta Canyon, and absolutely LOVING it! The kids are so much fun, and co-workers are too, lol. My favorite moment at camp thus far happened when I was swimming with the kids from Camp AMISTAD which is a camp for burn victims. Anywho, I was swimming on my day off and just hanging out in the deep end, and started talking to a kid named Austin. He reminded me alot of "W" (anyone who reads Kacey's blog will understand that one lol) he even did the thing W does with his fingers, crossing them or what-not. Anywho, he was jumping of the diving board and doing really random "tricks". When I asked what he was doing he said, "I am trying to do the Space Cow." When I said I had never heard of it he said, "No, I am trying to invent it." That made me laugh a little, what really got me laughing (and thinking of W) was the conversation he had with his counselor a few minutes later.

Counselor: "Alright bud, time to get out"
Austin: "Ok, just one more try"
C: "What are you trying to do?"
A: "The 'Space Cow' "
C: "The 'Space Cow'?"
A: "I don't know yet, I'm trying to invent it."
C: "Your inventing it?"
A: "Well, someone has too!"

I do miss my mom and dad alot though. I get to see mom this weekend, and I'll get to hang out with dad in a couple weeks. I can hardly wait, I hope we get to go to Schlitterbahn. I love that place!!

Air Force Update:
I got the Cryptolinguist job I was wanting, and signed my contract. I got the last open spot for this year. I am way excited, things just keep falling into place.
