It's been a while...

Since I posted last. So I figured that I'd post something now, to give a bit of an update as to what has been happening.
1) I've been official divorced since the end of march. Everything has been going well so far, I'm still in my place that I have and have Jack to help me keep my mind off of most thing all day.
2) Been working a lot, so not much has really been happening.
3) Jack has become a lot calmer now, it's been nice when I go out or am relaxing at home. But he still has as much energy as always when he wants to play.
4)Now I've been contemplating what I want to do as a career. I would like to do something with my culinary degree but not sure what. I do know that I do not want to be in a kitchen on an hourly wage (just doesn't seem appealing), but I do know that I want to go back to school. Lately I've been thinking about Organic Chem, Nutrition, and Biology that was I can really get into the Nutrition field and maybe become a Dietitian later in life.

I know that I have a lot to do and the time to do it, but I am slowly becoming inpatient about it all and want to be in a career faster than is possible (like tomorrow, lol). Sadly I do still have to take my time and weight my options as so possible paths to get to an end goal.
All-in-all everything is going well, I have decided to focus my energy more on finding a career that I will love to do the rest of my life and on Jack. I will try to be more active in posting something every month, but only if there is something to post about. :)

New...


Post with Pictures!

As everyone now knows I'm back in Sacramento. Jordon is still in S. Korea till Thanksgiving time and he will be home a week with me and Jack and then he is off to school again to go into Paralegal, the schooling last 10 weeks. After that it's a another adventure for the McAllister family.

A few things that have happened. My brother Matt is now out of the Navy, he is also out here in Sac for the next month and a half. We also started the beginning of going to weddings, the 17th of this month we went to Jason Walsh's wedding , Matt's best friend since Kindergarten and one of my "brothers" as i call them, it was a beautiful ceremony and a lovely reception. I've very happy for the newlyweds and i hope they are having a great time on their honeymoon.
I have also found and moved into a duplex that is about 6 minutes away from my parents. It's a 3 bedroom, 1 bath with a gated backyard and a carport. It's big enough for Jack to be able to run around and be his spazzy self and still small enough for me.
I will say that the best part about it is that i don't have to water or mow the front lawn (the have guys to do it for me.) I also have a security patrol that goes around too.






This is the front of the house with the carport.













This is the living room




I'm still acquiring some furniture, I've been lucky in that a few people i know where giving away furniture and that i was able to get a bed at a really good price. Overall it's been very busy and I know Jordon has been keeping busy at work and going around S. Korea to as many places as he can to see more things. Jordon has also been put in to receive a sorta promotion, he is going to become a Corporal (it's still the same level E-4 but with more power to do things.) I'm very proud of him and all that he has been doing. Keep it up my love!

Today, marks mine and Jordon's 2nd anniversary of being married. Two years ago today we got married in a court house in San Antonio, Texas. It was a very small and cute ceremony and our friend being silly as he is recorded it all.

Jordon proposing, yes i was shocked. (even though i knew it was coming)
Day we got married.
Happy Anniversary Jordon!

Time? What's that?

So since coming back from my cousin sean's wedding, we've had a bit of a busy schedule.

-I have been working on getting a job and have finally decided to semi hang the idea and do Partylite (over joy me), but i now have an offer to watch a 4 year old little girl monday- friday, i get the interview this Thursday :) So if there are any suggestions as to a good education itinerary for a 4 year old, i would be much obliged.

-Also, my little puppy doubled in size, if you can believe that, in the 2 weeks i was gone. He now knows 2 more commands. So it come to a total of...sit, stay, drop it, leave it, come here, no, balance a treat on his nose, and ok...8. I feel so accomplished now.

-I finally unpacked all of the boxes and we are officially moved in. Yet somehow our house is still needing furniture, but i guess you can say that is due to us not owning any yet. I have organized the office so we can actually use it as an office/computer room. The guest room is officially ready for guests and i everything now has a home. There really is something satisfying about everything having a home.

-I'm enrolled in school again. I'm going to be starting out going for my general education requirements then moving on to another school and starting on my major of Nutrition/ Dietetics. That way i can become a Dietitian and do something that i love more than cooking. Telling other how to eat well (ask Tina). My ultimate goal is to work with families and mostly children/ teens, to show them that you don't need to spend lots of money or think too much on it to eat well and to have a balanced diet. (plus it's my fight against too much fast food)

-Jordon took his ASFAB test over again and got 10 points higher across that board. This means now he can go on to be an Officer in the military, but first he needs to go do more schooling. So that means that we will more than likely be state side for our next duty station, which also means cheaper plane tickets to go visit people. YEAH!!

I now have a deeper understanding of what my mom says when she says she doesn't have time to do that. (plus i'm horrible at time management)
