Deployment Party

Here she comes! Returning from Fort Hunter Liggett CA for her party last 2 weeks at home. She has found out they are now going to Fort Hood TX instead of Fort Dix for 4 weeks. They have given them a 3 day weekend in Fort Hood prior to Afghanistan deployment July 24-27 so I shall be going to Texas to see her for one last time until she comes home to us in July 2011!

PFC Darleen Dolbee

As you all know both Samantha and Darleen are in the Army Reserves. Darleen's unit has been called to Afghanistan for 400 days of service. She has been on active duty since April 28th and is getting ready for training and service!

Thursday she leaves for Ft. Hunter Ligget in Monterey County, CA for three weeks. She comes home June 2 and then she has a black out period from June 3 - June 17. Then on June 21 they leave for Ft. Dix in New Jersey for four weeks.

She is at Ft. Dix for 4 weeks of training, then they get a 3 day pass and when they return they fly to Kuwait for 7-10 days and then head to their destination in Afghanistan. Her return home eta is July 2011.

Saturday June 12, 2010 we are having a deployment party for her. It's crazy that just a year ago my little girls graduated from High School. 19 years ago today was my first mothers day, when I was just 3 months pregnant and still thought it was only one baby. We didn't find out for sure they were twins until my ultrasound in July 1991, then 4 months later they were here!

Semester ends Saturday!

I didn't realize I haven't blogged since February. And Karissa thinks she is a blogger slacker! There has been so much going on, I finish my semester of online classes on Saturday! I think I got 2 A's (Nevada History & Gen. Psychology) 1 B (History 101) and maybe a C (critical thinking). I tried to get all A & B but this Critical Thinking class is like geometry! Totally don't know what I'm reading most of the time! And this poor teacher of mine has about 3 students petitioning against her for some lame reason. She posted a huge message and I commented back that I thought she did a good job, and any time I sent and email she replied! Not sure what the other students problem is.
Then June 2 - July 30 I am taking 2 summer school classes! They are 4 weeks each, one in June and one in July. They are both English classes I think (can't log into my school page on Sunday).
I am pushing myself to get done with my prerequisites in Fall 2010 so I can register at UNLV nursing program in January 2011!
