My first blog...:)

So here I am, just sitting at the computer trying to drown out the random quotes of 'Here take this!' and 'Watch Out!' from my boyfriend Auggie, playing Resident Evil 5. A game which he has not stopped playing since he finally was reunited with his big-screen TV. This would probably drive some girls crazy; but to me it means he his home, and safe and I am able to finally be with him. I don't care what he does. We are together.

Let me elaborate:

Auggie is in the Navy, and since he enlisted 2 years ago we have only been able to see each other a grand total of 2 months out of that time. Yeah, Houston-we have a problem.

So, I finally made the decision to move down to VA so we could actually have something that resembled a 'normal' relationship. Well, as 'normal' as you can get being a Navy girlfriend. And Viola! Here I am.

I also thought that since he has duty every so-many-days; I have a lot of free time around here. And since I love writing - this is a perfect way to avoid the couch and my nemesis; reality TV. Not to mention it's a good way to keep in touch with all my family and friends I left behind in Milwaukee, WI. So here I am - in Newport News, VA. I have been here now for about 1 1/2 months. It is still a little scary being a thousand miles away from 'home' but I love this life. I love our neighborhood, our apartment, our life, everything.

I also work for a very large company that has several locations Nationwide, so I was pretty lucky and was able to transfer my job down here. Very lucky indeed.

The excitement has not worn off yet - I sort of don't want it too. But here is the place to read about our lives, and what kind of trouble we are getting into. :)

Hope you enjoy!
