January 2009 update

Let me see, what have I been up to for the past month?

My family came down to Georgia to see my commisssioning on December 4th. After that, I did two weeks as a hometown recruiter in Wisconsin.

When that ended, I started my official leave, and hung out with my family for Christmas. My brother and sister (with her family) visited a few days after; Santa was delayed till the 27th.

They had to leave a day or two later, and we left town to visit my family on the East Coast on the 29th. After two days, we left for Virginia to stay with friends.

And that's where we are now.

I'm still trying to update the blog with my experiences from basic training and OCS. I thought I'd have a whole bunch of time being on leave, but I've been surprised at how my time my son requires just being "watched."

He's either standing, crawling, or shoving stuff into his mouth pretty much all the time. He actualy does have to be constantly monitored, and that leaves little time for me to truly goof off.

I'll have to work hard to find the time for that.
