Eventful Much?

January; the time for new beginnings and new starts. Usually a peaceful and tranquil month as everyone is starting out with new resolutions and new ideals.

Not for me, or my family. January came in with a bang... like a grenade exploding...well, at least that is what the house looked like. Like a big giant grenade hit it.

Mom and I moved into her new place on December 30th; actually, I should rephrase that a little bit. Mom moved into her house, and I found all my stuff after my 80 billion moves these last 2 years, and repacked it and it is now sitting in one corner of her basement, minus 3 weeks worth of clothing and the suitcase that is dutifully sitting under my bed waiting to be packed for basic.

My aunt's boyfriend asked my grandparents for their permission to marry my aunt; they said yes...managing not to jump for joy at the prospect of my aunt finally getting married. The wedding is being held on the 28th of January shortly after my Aunt comes home from Turkey. She leaves to go back to Turkey shortly after her wedding. Her boyfriend is staying here to finish his degree.

Grandpa's Knee replacement surgery is happening on the 19th...Mom goes into see the surgeon that day to as she will be getting her knee scoped on the 21st or 22nd.

There is also a court date between my mom and the sperm donor the week of my aunts wedding, in another province.

January, however; has also brought good things, my job offer from the CF, A few glorious days with my oldest niece and nephew, being unemployed during all of this is allowing me to spend some much needed time with friends and family. AG got to go see her husband...I am sure she is having a grand time, although I can hardly wait until she gets back so that I can tell her all that has occurred.

It has also brought with it some truths about A, what he is actually like and it turns out, it's a little skeezy. I do still feel things for him, but finding out all that I have found out and putting certain things together have made it a little easier getting over him. I still have no plans of moving on anytime soon, but that is more because I am leaving and starting my new career and just don't want to start a relationship just to end it in a few weeks.

February promises to be busy as well, with my swearing in and getting everything I need to leave for basic I will be busy as sin every day in February I am sure, plus 3 birthdays and a going away party.

Like I said being unemployed right now is a blessing, I am up before the sun and in bed long after it goes down, so I am trying to squeeze in as much time at the gym as humanly possible while fitting all the other drama in.

I can hardly wait for basic to start, I think that the pace might be a little slower than it is right now and I will only have to concentrate on me....and the rest of my platoon.

"Please lord, let basic be virtually drama free... and keep G, MM, E and all the others safe in Af'Stan"
