Jamie

Jamie just called me for a nice half hour talk before she went to bed. She really is sounding much much better after her second week. It seems she can not check her civilian email or check out my blog so I'll have to send stuff to her military address. I can understand in a way about that policy but it makes it a little harder to keep in touch.

She has been very busy with all the OTS stuff. From what I gather she has the physical training in the morning then lunch and a quick shower. From there she goes to her classes which are leadership related - Team Building, Giving a Briefing, Dealing With Harassment, etc. At night she has a quick dinner and "free" time. That basically equates to laundry, cleaning, chores (cleaning the class rooms), studying, maybe a quick phone call, then sleep. I asked if she got any "me time" or down time or something, the answer... I listen to music while folding cloths. At least its something :-)

I am tremendously proud of Jamie. She is taking a hard situation that many people won't or can't deal with and is making it through. She is taking things week by week and working it out. The first week she was depressed - you could tell it in her voice - this week she is back to her normal self. Its amazing the difference in her voice...

I can't wait to see her again though and it won't be nearly soon enough :-(

New Pcitures

Well I got around to putting some new pictures online. The link on the right Cell Phone Pictures has been updated. There are over 100 photos. They are from my cell phone camera or from friend's cell phones so they may not be the best pictures in the world, sorry. I'm working on getting the rest of the Hawaii 2007 photos together and online, my family just took way to many :-)

Dinner Time.

I'm having dinner with Anastasia. Its really nice, I haven't seen her in a good while. We got to catch up on things. I'm gonna miss her when she leaves...

30 Years Old

Well, I'm 30. Not a big deal I guess, but its a new decade of existence. I got phone calls from a bunch of friends and family and got to catch up with them all. I went and saw Shrek the Third too. I would recommend it, very enjoyable. The longest talk I had was with Jamie. It has been a week sense she has been in the Air Force OTS program. It was really good to hear her voice and know she is doing OK. Miss her a lot. Melissa gave me my gift before she left for the week, two very nice new shirts. I miss her too, but she'll be back next weekend so its not to bad. I'm going to see Anastasia tomorrow for dinner. We haven't had a chance to hand out for awhile so I'm looking forward to it. She will be leaving the island in a couple of weeks. Other than that it has been a relaxing weekend.

Coffee

I'm out having coffee with Melissa and Kari. We were going to do a movie but it got a little late. Don't she look cute? She just won't admit it.

Monday

Well, today has been a kinda blah day with the exception of dinner. I've been thinking about Jamie leaving and my other friends to soon be leaving. It's going to be lonely around here. I really don't know what i would do if Melissa had left to. Thankfully she is not!!

An End and A Begining

So Jamie is at the airport. We have all said our goodbyes even though its not a goodbye but a until next time we meet. Its hard, she was my first good friend here and my first to leave. We'll keep go touch, but she will be missed, a lot, every day. I'm prove me her though. This is a big step into the next part of her life. Love her bunches.

Cutie Cutie Cutie Cutie Cutie

She is just an angle aint she? Between Melissa and Jamie Ive got two awesome friends. She is gonna be really really really missed. Im happy for her and support her but, hell, Im gonna miss her a lot! Its homa suck without her! Without Anastasia. Without Tara. Jamie has been a good friend and I know we will be for a long long time. Just gonna have to get used to her not being here. Loves her lots!!

Dinner Time

We went to Harbor Pub for dinner. We are meeting up with Jamie in a bit.

The Big Move

Well today was moving day. Most of Jamie's furniture is headed over to her sister's place. We started the move at 930 this morning and finished up in the early afternoon. After it was all done and the Uhaul truck was returned we cleaned ourselves up and headed to lunch and a movie. We had a bit of time to kill in between so we played shuffle puck at D&B. It made for a fun day all around.

Saturday Dinner

We all had plans to head out and go dancing tonight but everyone was a bit blah. We have a big move tomorrow and it probably wouldn't have been good if we did. Jamie stayed in to relax with her mom, Melissa and I headed to dinner instead. We went to Outback Steakhouse and had pupu's for dinner. It was nice to hang out with her for awhile and to cathai up on life. I always have fun with Melissa.

First Friday

Its Friday night and Tara invited of out. We met up with one of her friends and headed to see the HPU corous sing and listen to some music. It was very nice. After we headed to grab a bite to eat at a Chinese place and to talk for a bit. Tara is getting excited to go to The Gambia with the Peace Core. I'm going to miss her when she leaves. No phone to call her either, just old fashioned letters.

Poetry Slam

A bunch of us are at Poetry Slam tonight. Its Jamie's last one before she leaves. It sucks and is getting sadder and sadder each day... But tonight, fun :-)
