Survival

Yesterday, the Teen Center here went on a camping trip for the night. They were going to go hiking and learn all about how to survive in the woods. I of course volunteer to go help because I have nothing better to do. Let me tell you it wore me out! I was exhausted last night and past out as soon as I hit the bed. But it was fun! It was an all girl camp so I did get a little tired of hearing the girl complain about not being able to wash their faces, straighten their hair, and so on. Other than that I enjoyed it. We had four SERE instructors that worked on base to come and show them a few things. They showed them how to make a fort out of things around them, how to start a fire, and on our hiking trip they showed them what to eat and what not. And on our hiking trip that had to GPS themselves around to find the next location. It was tiring especially hiking all day. Oh and did I mention that it was FREEZING. That morning it was snowing a little and eventually stopped turned into rain, and the hail! I was soaked for the longest time and I couldn't feel my toes. I guess I should have warn three pairs of socks instead of two.

Now, I am not going to share any details because I am not sure what all every knows and what I am not supposed to know and so forth. But I am sure you all know about Lybia and that they are sending troops that way as we speak. I just want to ask that everyone keeps them in your prayers and their families. I know a lot of my friends husbands/boyfriends have left already to go there and they just got home 2 weeks or a month ago. I could only imagine, and I know it is going to happen to me as well. This whole thing is stressful to me, but I remember that this is our life and I begin to think how proud I am for every single person that is fighting for us. It makes me so happy to think that I am a woman behind on of those.  : ) SO PRAY PLEASE!

On to my spring forward:

Day 5 – Something you definitely could live without.

I could so live without school!!! I am so tired of it. I have no motivation at all to finish but I know I need to. It also doesn't help when I know this person who has two bachelors and one associates and every time she applies for a job, they tell her she is too educated!!! I mean really? that is ridiculous.

Day 6 – Tell us about your best friend when you were 16, and where you two stand today.

 

taylor, me, jayme

 

These two girls Taylor and Jayme were hands down my best friends. They were there through it all, and always helped me through the worst moments in my life. We had a lot of good times together, A LOT and have so many memories of us. From spring break to just a day in class. Today, however we are still friends but not as close. The fact that I live all the way across the world does not help. I do still talk to Taylor, but not as much as I would like.
