Dave called me right after I hit publish. Cody called. He doesn't have to report to Kansas until June 1st, he just had to get in touch with them within 24 hours. They wouldn't say anything else about it when he called.
But another guy from there company, Cory, got one too. Him and Jared are up in Boise going to school. So if Dave does get one, it will be pretty soon I imagine.
That's all I got so far.
Okay kids, I don't know what this news means yet, except that if it really happens, its going to rock my world (again) in the worst way possible (again).
Dave's friend from the Marines, Cody, was supposed to meet us on Friday or Saturday, depending on when he could get out there. We were so excited to see Cody! Its been awhile. So we're driving to the Goblins, and Dave's phone beeps because he just got a voicemail. We were in a canyon and that's why it didn't ring. It was Cody.
He said he just got a Fed-EXed letter with orders that said he had 24 hours to report to Kansas City. He said he didn't know what that meant other than the Marine Corps said he had 24 hours to be there.
Dave called him back to see what was going on, and he just repeated what he had said in the message. They talked for awhile, and Dave told him to call when he found out what was going on. Then we went through another dead spot, and the call was dropped. Dave sent him a text that said the same thing. And we haven't heard from him yet.
That was Friday at about 2.
Needless to say we are freaking out. Dave, me, his parents, my parents. I don't know if I can handle him being gone again. I don't want him to be re-called. I hope that he doesn't, but at the same time, I don't want Cody to be the only one of Dave's Marine friends who got it. I would really rather no one got re-called, but apparently it doesn't matter what the families feel. It doesn't matter that these guys have been home for a year or more, and have new jobs and have settled into a new routine without worrying about when they have to go to Iraq again.
I'm upset. Angry. Pissed off at the President and the Marine Corps. I wasn't such a huge fan in the first place, and at this present moment I could kill someone. If you don't hear from me for a long while its because we moved to Canada. I'll send word to let you know we're okay :)
Anyway, I'll still put some of our Goblin pictures up, but I felt that the possiblity of impending recall doom was a bigger issue. I'll let you know what Cody says. If he went to Kansas City, or "took a wrong turn" and wound up in Ontario.
Everyone think good thoughts for us and Dave's friends please.
Ha Det!
Today we are leaving for Goblin Valley. I have never been there, but I bet its going to be awesome. Awesome...and WARM!!! I can't even wait. I'm so excited! I haven't been camping since last July. Too long! Dave is at home packing, and I am here at work watching the clock for Noon so that I can leave. I kind of feel bad that Dave has to do it all by himself, but I had to wake up at 6:30 this morning, so that kind of makes me get over it real fast.
I'll post some pictures of us playing with the goblins when we get back. Goblins and sunshine...sunshine.
Ha Det!
So, today has been super slow so I have made some changes and done some thinking.
First of all, the new design...do you like it? I love it. Its cute and very me (I think)
Second of all, I think I want to be a graphic designer, except that that course at the Art Institute is about $83,000 for a bachelor's. Its only $43,000 for an associates, but I figure if you're going to get a degree, at least get a bachelors. That's just worth it.
And...we put an offer in on a house last night!!!!! Its a short sale, so it might not be accepted, but we did and I'm excited!
Tomorrow, we are all going to Grandpa's house, to help clean up the yard and get the house ready to sell. It weird, because everytime we are talking about going out there or being out there, everyone says "Grandma's house" and they quickly say, "I mean Grandpa's house." I don't know why. Its still her house too. That's where she lived for like 49 years. I miss her a lot. I still cry sometimes. Out of the blue. When I think about the last time I saw her, and what I said and what she said. It makes me feel good thinking about that, because she said, "I love you too sweetie". It also makes me feel sad thinking about it, because that's the last thing I ever said to her.
I think I'm going to take my camera with me tomorrow, so that I can share my awesome family with all of you! Hopefully it isn't snowing, yes snowing >:( (that is my mad face by the way)
I no longer care for the snow, which you will see if you look to the right at my things I love list. I hate it in fact. It started snowing at the cemetery, snowing hard and bad, and I no longer care for it. Never will.
Anyway, that's just a little update. I haven't posted in awhile, and I miss you all so much!
Ha Det!
I decided not to do the whole thing blonde at once. I'm gonna try to give it a chance to be healthy. But here it is!!! I have never had this much blonde in my hair before and it is crazy!
I love it!
