Thanks Mike, I'll be sure to let him know. That is the same type of investigation that he is doing.


I got all my fall decorations up yesterday. I got groceries today and the cashier was not very nice! The bagger kid was nice though so that made up for it. School is still going pretty well. Chloe is doing good. She got a new toy today. It's like a frisby but cloth with a ball in the middle. She isn't to sure that she likes it. She is napping right now.

Well I found out today that Cody will be home for about a day and a half and then ships out for 5 weeks!!! Man I am really bummed! This army thing is hard!

Not to much happened today. I did laundry and house cleaning. That kept me busy pretty much all day. It rained all day so I didn't get to take Chloe on our walk. I was bummed about that but maybe we can get our walk in tomorrow. It really helps her get her energy out and helps me to kinda stay in shape. hahaha. I didn't have anything school work today so I feel funny not doing anything with school.

Cody has had kind of a bum day. This Flipl thing is a curse to him. It's a investigation thing that they give to random people and of course Cody got one. Someone lost something that they were issued and (in Cody's case) moved back to the states. So how in the world is he supposed to do an investigation fully when the person is not even here. He has turned it in twice and still has to re-do it again.......... It really stinks because he has all this other stuff to do and then that on top of it! I just feel bad for him. Hope things work out for him, just keep him in your thoughts and prayers!

Sorry everyone that I have not updated in a while :) I've been busy with school and just life... It is getting better and I'm getting into more of a routine so that helps a lot! School is going really good, so far it's been all A's. That gives me encouragement, I'm enjoying it right now
Cody will be gone for 3 days next week and then about a week after that he will be gone for about a month. I'm NOT looking forward to that but I think I will handle it okay. Chloe really helps when Cody is gone, I don't feel like I'm alone. He has training and he has to leave early before all the guys and stay after they come home. So instead of the 3 weeks that the guys were supposed to be gone he will be gone for about 5 weeks. GRRR.....
I gave Cody a haircut yesterday.. that was fun. It turned out pretty good but I still have improving to do. The fading is a lot harder than it looks. I really like cutting hair though, it is so much fun. I don't get much practice though because Cody's hair doesn't grow very fast and Chloe won't set still long enough... haha!

School is going good! Everything has gotten worked out. At first they told me that only 9 out of 33 credits would transfer and I threw a HUGE fit...hehe. I let them know that that was not going to work and if they didn't fix it I was not going to attend their school! Well they fixed it... they said that the person doing the transferring of the credits basically didn't know what they were doing. So now everything is fixed and I'm on bored. My graduation date is on November 28, 2010! I will be done in just a little over one year. I'm excited about that! I already got my first A on an assignment. That was exciting to!

Cody has been really busy with work. He is going to a course, which is a class he just goes and listens to. Plus he has to stay up with his other regular work so it has been hectic for him. I just with that he didn't have to go through all that crap! None of the other guys have to do near as much as him... even the other officers don't. I just think it is dumb!!!

Karyn had her baby! YAY! Kathryn Julie Schwagel! She is so darn cute! She called us on Sep 30 at about midnight thirty. We went and got Ella(her 2 yr old) and they rushed Karyn to the hospital. She had Kathryn in about 2 1/2 hours. Her labor was going to quickly they had no time to do the epideral...ick! So she did it all naturally. So I had baby duty for 3 days... man that was crazy! Ella was great though and I got some good practice in :) Chloe did really well with her to. Ella loves Chloe but Chloe loves her mommie. Lets just say that Chloe is a very jealous dog. Ella was on my lap and Chloe comes up and squeezes between me and her and lays down.. It was funny!

I am starting school on Monday! I'm kinda nervous about it and not really motivated to do it but I know it will be good for me to get it started and finish. The great thing is that I had quite a few credits that will transfer so I will only have to end up taking like 8 or 9 classes. I'm very thankful for that. Plus it is all online so it won't be to much for me. I just don't like school so I am hoping that it goes well and things work out for the good.

Today I took Chloe on her walk, cleaned like crazy, and worked on laundry. Cody is out in the field on a range. He is shooting the big guns today so I bet he is excited. It is 6 o'clock and he is still not home so it will be a long day for him. That always frustrates me because we can't have dinner together or at a good time. So days like this we just fend for ourselves. My friend came over with her daughter today and Chloe just loves her. They play together and tire each other out so that is good for me and Karyn. She is due to have her other baby in about a week, she is ready!!

Wow today has been a long one. I am sick and the school process is just getting more complicated. I have decided to go for Associates first and then see if I want to go on with a Bachelors. The school was easy to change the hard part that I'm having to deal with is my 6000 dollar grant. They are very specific on what classes and what dates and all this so I am having to go around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get everything fixed. Plus this on top of me being sick really just does not help things but I'm hoping that it gets better!

Today has been a busy day. Last week we went to a deal they were having that had all the things that were available. Things like the banks, insurance, education, and events for spouses. They called it family rodeo.. well anyways I put my info down to receive some school info. Well yesterday a rep called me and talked to me about doing online schooling through the university of Phoenix. I told him that I would talk to Cody and see what he thought. Well I talked to him and he thought it was a good deal. Since I am a military spouse I get almost half of tuition and then I qualify for a grant that they are giving out to spouses. So today the rep called me again and I told him I wanted to go ahead and get started. So I have been on the phone all morning with him. I have filled out the application and applied for the grant. Its really great because they will get my transcript from RSU and I don't have to worry about getting that stuff. Plus my credits will transfer so I don't have to start all over. I am just waiting now for the official say so. So just keep that in your thoughts and prayers... I am excited about it now but I just want to make sure that I am doing the right thing. One thing that I really liked about this school was that you only do one class at a time and they are 5 weeks long. This way I will still have time to do what I want and not get bogged down with school. I think that will help me not get burnt out so fast. Hopefully it is as good as it sounds. :)
