I started training today &amp;amp; it &lt;em&gt;kicked&lt;/em&gt; my butt!! We had to just stare at a computer in the camera room where all those lights are on &amp;amp; I got a &lt;strong&gt;major&lt;/strong&gt; headache! Anyway, so far so good. I finish up training this week then start on my own; I am nervous!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another update..changed my mind on school..I found out that the dental assisting school&amp;nbsp;I was going to &lt;strong&gt;wasn't &lt;/strong&gt;going to transfer over so it was pointless to go &amp;amp; &lt;em&gt;waste my time&lt;/em&gt; &amp;amp; money if I was going to do it over again. SO, I decided if I have to go to school anyway..I might as well do something that I &lt;u&gt;actually&lt;/u&gt; want to do. I am going to get my bacholer's in Criminal Justice then get a forensic science degree to become a crime lab analyst! :) I have always wanted to this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, my &lt;em&gt;modeling&lt;/em&gt; is around the corner! Only a couple months left, I can't wait to build my portfolio &amp;amp; get my modeling career started!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am getting my hair &lt;strong&gt;chopped&lt;/strong&gt; off on Wednesday... Kinda scared since I finally have my hair to a length I like..but I want change...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Austan is in the field...&lt;u&gt;once again&lt;/u&gt;. (he was in non-stop last week, Monday to Friday night) He wasn't supposed to be out there over night but whatever, &lt;strong&gt;that's the life of an army wife&lt;/strong&gt;....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3447811713911343433-1856632188682823559?l=armywifeismylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armywifeismylife.blogspot.com/feeds/1856632188682823559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://armywifeismylife.blogspot.com/2011/10/changed-my-mindagain.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3447811713911343433/posts/default/1856632188682823559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3447811713911343433/posts/default/1856632188682823559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armywifeismylife.blogspot.com/2011/10/changed-my-mindagain.html' title='Changed My Mind..AGAIN!'/><author><name>vkinnaird</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18316708317152250537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n9GGos0wAKA/To5wx7vPFLI/AAAAAAAAAAU/SBM2PiCACbk/s220/me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3447811713911343433.post-45221377373192458</id><published>2011-10-09T10:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-09T10:29:37.448-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hoping &amp; praying.</title><content type='html'>Hello again,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so worn out right now. I just &lt;strong&gt;deep&lt;/strong&gt; cleaned the apartment, I mean I &lt;strong&gt;scrubbed&lt;/strong&gt; the floors, &lt;u&gt;everything&lt;/u&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;It makes me feel good though, I like having a clean house. Doesn't help that my husband and puppy, Ella, feel the need to just get it dirty again in a day. Oh well, that's the life of a housewife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been on the search for a job for about &lt;u&gt;five&lt;/u&gt; months now, still no luck. :(&lt;br /&gt;So, I decided that I am going to just&lt;strong&gt; try&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;amp; find a job anywhere I can until we come home to Kansas in December. Then, after we come back I will be going &lt;u&gt;back to school&lt;/u&gt;! Finally! I will go to a 13 week course to become a dental assistant.. then, I will get a good job, &amp;amp; make decent money. While I am working I will go to school part time &amp;amp; work towards becoming a dental hygienist! I have always wanted to do that but I lost sight of that path when the world was open to &lt;strong&gt;so many&lt;/strong&gt; careers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's all for now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3447811713911343433-45221377373192458?l=armywifeismylife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://armywifeismylife.blogspot.com/feeds/45221377373192458/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://armywifeismylife.blogspot.com/2011/10/hoping-praying.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3447811713911343433/posts/default/45221377373192458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3447811713911343433/posts/default/45221377373192458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://armywifeismylife.blogspot.com/2011/10/hoping-praying.html' title='Hoping &amp; praying.'/><author><name>vkinnaird</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18316708317152250537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n9GGos0wAKA/To5wx7vPFLI/AAAAAAAAAAU/SBM2PiCACbk/s220/me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3447811713911343433.post-3962867990503847195</id><published>2011-10-06T20:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-06T20:23:01.597-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Whew...</title><content type='html'>Well, I guess I will start this since it seems to be a form of an online diary &amp;amp; I like to &lt;em&gt;vent&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things have really&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;sucked&lt;/strong&gt; lately being an army wife as the army &lt;u&gt;isn't&lt;/u&gt; all they say it would be. They&amp;nbsp;haven't been paying us properly and they &lt;u&gt;always&lt;/u&gt; seem to find a way to screw my husband over. &lt;br /&gt;Oh by the way, my husband's name is Austan, yes with an "a" instead of an "i." Everyone seems to get it wrong. I also&amp;nbsp;call him&amp;nbsp;"AK" for short, so you know who I am speaking of.&amp;nbsp;Anyway, things haven't been so well in the Kinnaird World lately. We have been dealing with some &lt;strong&gt;major&lt;/strong&gt; issues with finances and companies that won't return phone calls or help us out. So Austan &amp;amp; I have been stressed out to our eyeballs lately. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things do seem to be &lt;em&gt;turning around&lt;/em&gt; though..finally..I hope.
