Change-It!

 So it looks as if I may be changing my blog name from hooah to hoorah, which is from an unexpected change of events. My husband never even attempted signing up with the Marine Corps because he had been told their cut off age is 28 and he is a year past that, actually, almost two! But a few days ago he got a phone call from the Marine Corps recruiter and it looks as it his path to the military has shifted a bit. We are in the process of now enrolling him into college where he will be a full time student for only a semester, he needs only 15 credits and then he will be receiving an age waiver and enlisting into the Marine Corps instead of the Army. He is even more excited about this than he was about the Army and I couldn't be prouder. My father was a Marine, and now my husband will be one too, I think it's cool. Plus, I'm sorry to all the other branches out there but there is nothing hotter than a man in those dress blues. LoL!
 It's weird when I think where life in the Marine Corps could and would take us. I know for sure Abel will hit Twentynine Palms at least once. Which is 20 miles from Yucca Valley which is where I moved from when I moved to Montana and met Abel. That was home. Some of my family is still there so it wouldn't be all bad to go back. Plus we would be back in California and hey, that much closer to civilization. I really do miss my palm trees, date trees and Palm Springs at night. I also think of the fun things such as the Marine Corps balls, the base living, and still, the opportunities being brought to us. Abel would look good in the uniform, lol.
 So this next step is going to be a tad stressful. I'm giving up my semester in college to put Abel in and help him with his work and stuff and then after he gets in I will start my schooling. I look forward to that one anyways, at least mine will be paid for and less stress in that area. So my life with two people in school at this point should be loads of fun! Until then, I'm off for a haircut and cleaning, which used to be the busiest part of my day! Hah!
