Life

I am very skeptical about things these days. I have a guard that I put up when I am around people. I tend to get active and outgoing and I am so worried that people will judge me. Hell that's how it was all through middle school and highschool. But now here I am. Down here in Florida and having the time of my life. Still paranoid but it's a experience that is just amazing. I have met a lot of great people down here. I have become close to some. Including girls. Crazy right? Pretty sure most people expected me to become good friends with the wives down here. But I am nothing like them. I get along with them but I don't consider them my close friends. I do have one close friend that is a wife and she is just awesome! Out of the girls, I mostly hang out with the female Lts. I seem to fit in better with them than I have any other girls I have met. They boys down here are great too. Wouldn't trade any of them for the world... Down here I can be myself.. I have been here for over 3 months and if they are still around me that is a great sign... Life is getting better although I do have my ups and downs down here but in the end, it all works out!

Craptastic Week...

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss

This quote seems to sum up everything.

I went to the beach this morning to see what I could find. I am pretty sure that the clean up crew had already been by to get the tar balls off the beach. While at the beach I got a text message from the news here saying that Tar Balls were washing up where I was. But yet, I couldn't find any. I did, however get attacked by a wave and stared at by a crab. But, I finally got to see a crab! I took some pictures, but nothing special. Not really worth posting on here. I figured out that the beach is my place to go and relax and think. I was starting to wonder if there was a place like that here for me. In Norman, I would go to the parks. I have no idea where any parks are here, but the beach will do juts fine. The waves are calming and soothing. Plus, when you have your music with you, its just wonderfully. I am sure I will be doing that more often, especially when taking pictures out there.

It's been raining here since about 1pm. Not just normal rain, but a awesome thunderstorm with thunder and lightning. Love this rain. So, I have been curled up in bed watching "The Unit" and "Ironman" Sometimes I just have to get my fix of Robert Downey Jr. HA.

I've thought about starting up a journal on my own. Away from the internet so I can write things down that I am not able to post on here. Not sure if it is such a good idea..

It has been one of those weeks. Let me tell you. I am ready for it to be over with. Earlier in the week we found out that one of Andrew's cousins has MS. Well the early stages of it. Then we found out that one of our friends might have CLL. Not sure on that tho. THEN.. Last night we were informed that a close family friend of ours was in the hospital due to a head injury. I am not going to go into details about it, because it is not my place. But prayers or thoughts are welcome. They need all they can get. I was sent a picture of him and I couldn't believe my eyes.. Tears started running down my face.. So there are quite a few people that are close to us that need prayers.

I know no one reads what I have to say, but it helps me out a lot just to get it out there..

Update on Oil

It has been awhile since I have updated and this time, I actually have a update. The oil is about 4 miles away from us now. I can not believe this is happening. I figured they would have been able to stop this crap, but obviously they can't. Here are some pictures that have been taken that shows the oil is about 6 miles away from us. This was taken over Memorial day weekend. Not by me.

Within the next few days, I will have pictures of my own. I will start going to the beach tomorrow to do daily photos again. This time is should go better than the last, since the oil is certainly closer to me now. I am hoping that it stays away until Sunday so that Andrew's class and I can go boating. But at this rate, it doesn't look like luck is on my side. Oh well..

Update tomorrow

Headache...

Drama brings me stress and gives me a headache.... Ugh!!!!! That is all

I failed.

I gave up on going to the beach everyday. It was getting really old going to the beach and nothing changing. So I figured I would wait until it starts rolling in. Which sadly, should be any day now. It has arrived somewhat in Mobile, Alabama. So when it starts showing up, I will continue to post more photos..

On another note. I guess Oklahoma decided they wanted to have some severe weather. A tornado touched down in Norman, Oklahoma. Which is VERY rare. I will have to find the story on why tornadoes never touch down in Norman. It's a pretty cool story. I mean it was close to the next city. Not really sure how much damage was done. Still waiting to hear. The last I heard there were 4 people killed. I hate seeing that. From what I am gathering, the tornadoes just started popping up. Which is crazy..

Nothing more to write now. It is 1:30am. I will look for the story and post pictures tomorrow.

Oil Spill Update Day 4

I decided to go to a different part of the beach today. This time I went to the base and went to the Marina and beach there. It certainly had a little more excitement than Perdido Key has had. So here are the pictures from today. Rumor has it that the oil is still 72 hours away from us.

*At the Marina... Oil booms set up*

*Close up of the Oil Booms*

*Landing on a boat. I think this is a Coast Guard boat, but I am not sure*

*Oil Booms on a boat on NAS*

*Tent for the Workers*

*Resource Trucks on NAS*

Sorry that the last 3 photos are so crappy. Was extremely paranoid to bust out my nice camera when this is a blocked off area. So, I had to quickly snap my iphone to get these.

Oil Spill Update Day 3

Once again, not really much of a change. Rumor has it that the oil will be here in 72 hours. I have once again taken photos. I figured might as well since no one really truly knows when the oil will be destroying our beaches.

*Water and Sand. Nothing really changed*

*Semi Close up of the Water*

*Not sure what this ship is, but Andrew seems to think that it is a Tanker ship. I am sure it has something to do with the Oil Spill.*

These blog posts are certainly boring, but I am sure they will start changing very soon.
