More problems

Well, as you all probably already know, my truck got stolen. The insurance paperwork sucks!!! But to add on top of it all, Johnathan's truck power steering pump is going out. State inspection is due in August, one more part to be replaced. Today, while working out with my personnal trainer, I was doing back extensions, trying to get my back stronger, and my right leg goes numb for each set I did. CS1 took me to the UC (Urgent Care Center) on base, but they don't have one. What good is a medical facility and an ambulance on base if they don't use it? So she just took me home, so I didn't have to drive. I didn't want to go to the UC any ways just for the simple reason that I knew what the outcome was going to be. But Cheif made me go. So Johnathan took me to Fort Eustis once I got home. The outcome was just about what I thought it was going to be. Some drugs and have a nice day. At least I'm on leave (vacation) for the next 2 weeks. I hope the break will help.

Orders

Well, we finally decided on orders. They aren't going to sent us to the west coast. I got to pick, but Johnathan was just told. I'm going to DDG 58 Laboon. I don't know much about it, but it will be the second best career choice. Of course the best career choice is Iraq, but Arica and Johnathan are more important than my career. Johnathan was told that he is going to NAS Oceana. He is going to call his detailer on Monday to try and get it changed to Frenfield Air Strip. It is still going to be the same distance as Oceana, but the traffic is going to be better. He won't have to sit and wait to go threw the tunnel.
Arica is still growing. Her new thing lately is opening and closing doors. She can't turn the knobs yet (Thank Lord), but she just pushes them back and forth. It is getting harder and harder to change her diaper. She never wants to stay still.

Third time is a charm

We went camping this weekend up in Lynchburg, VA. We had a wedding on Saturday. This was Arica's third time that we have tried. First one was at the hunt club when she was about 3 months, I ended up taking her home during the middle of the night. The next attemp was when she was about 5 months, out on the lake. I went home with her then too. So this time there was no going home. I can settle for driving 1 hour home with her, but not no 4 hours.
It took her a while to go to sleep, but once she did, she slept like a little baby taking up majority or the tent to herself. It rained every night, but not during the day so it was over all a good weekend. The rain cooled it off quite a bit. Arica enjoyed playing in the rain and sleeping in it.
We went swimming, rode on the ATV, and ate. Arica got a cupcake all over me and her. It was funny. She had no interest in eatting it, just making a mess. I wish I got a picture of it. But I got a pretty good on of her helping herself to some zuchini bread for breakfast in the rain.
