One week in...

Well I am one week into my new job. It is a lot of stuff to learn. I am doing the book-keeping for four companies owned by the family. One of the stores has just opened and they are unsure of exactly how the booking is going to run so I will be smack in the middle of that. So far things have been going rather well. I have enjoyed it, which I wasn't sure how I would deal with the whole money tracking and billin thing. But all has gone well so far and I enjoy the family and my coworkers. The one down side to the location that I am working out of is that I am the youngest person by ten years or more. All of the other young military wives are working at the new locaiton. Although there might be opportunity in a few months for another sales associate at where I am I think this is how it's going to be here for awhile.

But the people that I do work with are nice and fun. One of them is the wife and instructor in VT-9, which is not the squadron that Michael is in, Michael is in VT-7. It seems like many of our friends are in 9. Although for other than flying and squadron based events and games it doesn't realy matter what squadron you are in. There is no real difference in either of them, although some people say that one of the is a faster track than the other, but that depends on who you talk to and when. There is going to be some change in command for both squadrons in the next few months and that could change how things go in the different squadrons. So we'll see what happens.

Things have started to go better for me. Not even really since I started working, although I think that had a lot to do with it. I seem to have become more open to meeting people and act slightly different around strangers than normally I would have. Well I guess not strangers but other military wives. I had always thought of myself as a shy person but I seem to have been getting out of that a little bit. Which I guess is a good thing because I will be meeting new people all the time in the line of work Michael is in. With us moving all the time, and eventually he might even be in some leadership position in charge of a squadron or something of that sort. In that case I would have to be in charge of the "wives club" or somthing of that sort for the spouses of that squadron. We'll see where life takes us.

Michael still has to get past the E2/C2 draft first. Which will most likely be no earlier than May, of next year. Once we get past that hump will determine whether we are moving at that time or if we will be staying here for another 6-8 months after that point. The plan is for him to stay and finish training here because that means that he will be flying what he wants to fly and doing what he set out to do when he started at the academy as a plebe. All of that was working towards becoming a jet pilot, with whihc the whole draft being thrown in the mix recently could mess that up a little bit. But like I said we'll see where life takes.

I think that's enough for now. Will talk again soon.
