Days 146 &147

Yay, it's May! Now I get to officially say "It's my birthday month" to J as an excuse for a lot of things 😋. So anyways, on Friday we found out our area office, so this past weekend J and I spent a lot of time looking for potential houses to rent. The area we're moving to is a little on the expensive side, but luckily we found a good handful of places that we like! Saturday we did take a break from house hunting and took our dogs to the dog park. It was a beautiful day out and felt nice to finally have some sun! Later that evening, my dad cooked ribs for dinner, and we all celebrated with some margaritas! Sunday, J and I woke up early and went for a run together. We finished up some last minutes things then went back to looking at houses. J is debating going and actually looking at them next weekend since he will be in the area. I'll be out of town next weekend for my best friends wedding, and because it's on a Friday, unfortunately J won't be able to be my date. So he's going to go to his brothers place next weekend instead. J did share something with me that made me super proud of him! Earlier in the academy, each company voted on different recognitions. On Friday, J was called, not TO the Staff Office, but called IN to the staff office. So of course he said he was a little nervous. When he announced himself, he was told that his company had voted him most promising cadet! I was so happy to hear this- but I told him he still needs to focus and work hard to graduate. Even harder in fact because his company mates want see big things from him. Now that we know where we're going, everything is becoming so real, but there's also a weight lifted from our shoulders. I felt like there was SO much to do, but nothing could get done because we were still in area office limbo. But now that we know, I can start to make my to do list and get to checking things off. We're getting there guys!! 7 weeks to go, 34 academy days to go!

147 days down.. 47 days to go!
