Bremerton So Far

Hello all!
I still can't believe that I live in Washington! So far the weather has been outstanding ranging between 75-80 with clear skies. Annie is enjoying herself as well. Her and Isis had quite an exciting reunion that consisted of wrestling and chasing with hyper wagging tails. We are probably going to have to invest in an invisible dog fence for Annie since we have found her in the neighbors yard chasing the numerous squirrels found here. That way when she feels the need to chase them she will get a nice zap to remind her to stay in her yard.

I signed up for my classes yesterday and am thrilled that I only have to be on campus for one since the rest I can take from the comfort of home! That also gives me the day to be working my booty off to make some money. I have posted my resume on numerous jobs and it's looking like the navy civilian jobs are going to be the best paying jobs as well as have the best benefits plan and health insurance plans (kinda a necessity when your boyfriend continually injures himself!).

Mike was talking to his supervisor yesterday and it looks like they might be offering him a huge job in Japan for five weeks! They will be paying him a big chunk of money as well as pay for his meals, flight, and numerous hours of overtime. He is getting his passport together and waiting anxiously for their response. That and the air miles he flies he gets to use towards another flight, which means that they would pay for our tickets home for Christmas! I'll keep everyone updated on this venture, until we have a final answer it's up in the air.

Right now between job hunting and not getting lost in this town I am in contact with a coach for a local masters swim team. Hopefully I can join so I can continue to swim and compete in some races. I just hope they are in a pool and not with the sharks...yikes! Although the fear of jaws chomping me to peaces would probably make me swimmer than I ever have. Anyways, hope everyone is doing great! Feel free to leave comments here or call us at any time!
