Well, there isn't much new in our lives. TJ is currently in Baltimore working on the boat. When the boat makes the trip back to St. Petersburg, it will be TJ's last official underway trip.
He told me the other day that his first day of terminal leave will be January 21st. Terminal leave... Wow. That sounds so official. Even though TJ will still be in the Reserve, it is still a scary feeling to know that he'll no longer be active duty. We have talked about it and talked about it. We know we're making the right choice for us. It is scary because the Coast Guard and military life is all we've known. We're used to the military life, and the military schedule- or lack of schedule.
This is going to be a big change for us. It is a change that we're excited about. In January TJ will be starting school and I will be taking a break from school. Hopefully, I'll be working. Surprisingly, TJ is excited about going to school. Anyone who knows TJ, knows he never really liked school.
Anyway, that is pretty much it. Exciting, I know. Thanks for reading. I'll update again soon- hopefully!
