I see change in our future...

I have finally made up my mind concerning what I'll be doing once this current school year is over. I'm going to go back to school to get my Masters Degree in Operations Research. I'll be doing this full time so I can finish my degree before the Army moves us again. My step mom told me that I can't wear the K-State purple though. And I agree....I'll be wearing my Husker Red proudly!

As for Brian, he just got the Company Command position with the MEDDAC. This means he'll be attending a lot more meetings and making quite a few important decisions for the soldiers in the hospital. Unfortunately, he'll be pulled out of the physical therapy clinic to do this. He's excited about this new opportunity, but I know he'll miss practicing physical therapy. The ideal situation will be for him to have this position for 12-18 months, and then after that he'll go back to being a physical therapist.

School is going pretty good for me. Our state assessments are just around the corner, so the teachers are feeling the pressure. Once spring break gets here, life will be a little less stressful for me and the entire school.

Brian is still training for the marathon down in New Mexico. They have a 18 mile pre-qualifier here at Ft. Riley tomorrow morning. If their team can come in first place, they will get funding to make the trip down to New Mexico without spending a penny of their own money.
All in all, things are going great. The weather is very slowly starting to warm up. I actually went out without a coat the other day...and it was a steaming 45 degrees out. But it felt wonderful!!!
