I've sat down to blog t least a dozen times and it seems like something come up!
I don't even know where to begin on the updates. Last I blogged I was about to run a 1/2 marathon in Spearfish which turned out really well. I didn't train very seriously and ended up doing better than I anticipated. In regards to running, I'm planning on running the Austin full marathon in February so I just started training for that.
During September Todd went to Las Vegas for about 3 weeks for Green Flab which is air to ground combat training for deployment (i.e practicing what they will actually be doing in Iraq and Afghanistan) I went out to visit the first weekend they were there for a few days and had a blast! Neither one of us had ever been to Vegas and we took in a Cirque du Solei show and had some great food and fun times.
When Todd got back from Green Flag we were looking forward to the crisp fall weather and getting in some nice early fall outdoor activities....and then Oct 1 came around and we had 30 degree weather with snow for over 2 weeks! The weather has been awful!! We've set record highs and lows for this time of year and have already had several inches of snow! CRAZY! I truly hope that it's not shade of things to come this winter
We're now in the middle of October and work is still going great for me. I just started training in outpatient therapy and will hopefully make the full transition come early November. Todd is just flying like crazy and getting ready for deployment. We have an unofficial date of January 20 being the deployment day with them coming home "sometime in the end of July" so everything between now and then will be getting ready for deployment.
I'm sure I've left out a lot of details over the past 2+ months since I updated last but that's where we are in a nutshell :)
