Location, Location, Location

Well, much of my last post never happened. We are now stationed in Missouri, and we have moved finally. Matt has been home for about three weeks and is getting ready to head back out for seven more weeks of training. I am not ready for this, but it is coming anyway, and then after that he will be done with training for awhile!
I had my first wives meeting this week on base, and I am now the happy organizer for bachelor and bachelorette Airmen's Birthdays! Exciting! So basically, I have to coordinate families to bake cake for bachelor Airmen for their birthdays! I also volunteered to make birthday cards for these Airmen! I am really excited about this! I am trying to find my place, as well as get involved and volunteering!! I also plan on taking the elementary praxis in february so I need to desperately start studying for that as well.
I am also looking for a job, which is hard by the way, and not very much fun sometimes. So far, I have a part time job teaching a couple of scrapbooking card classes in March.
I am also turning in a sub application today, so hopefully I will pick up some hours that way as well. My extended plan for the next few weeks is to scrapbook as much as i can to catch up on the hundreds of pictures that I have!! I have so many I will never get through them!! I am also going to make cards for the Airmen, and who knows what else will come up! I am excited and nervous about everything right now!
The nervousness leads to breakdowns every once in a while, and Matt is great about knowing what to say and embrace the crazy!- Love him for that! I guess he could see the crazy coming before it started this time- so he brought me chocolate as a surprise a few days ago!

New and change is good, I am just not very good with dealing with it sometimes! I do really well most of the time, but every once in a while it catches up with me. I am totally stepping outside my comfort box right now, which totally gives me major heartburn!! But I know it won't kill me, and it is somewhat exhilarating and fun as well as nerve racking.
Tomorrow, there is a big function on base for Matt's squadron opening, so that is plan for tomorrow. We get to tour the new facility as well as watch the change of command ceremony. Matt gets to carry the flag- which is a pretty big deal!
