Same here! 4 more months til graduation! I live in Va Beach and I go to ODU in Norfolk. My cousin went to the University of Arizona too :) She graduated in 09 with marketing degree. Hopefully this final semester will make these last few months of deployment go quicker!
Hi Cantrell! Hmm.. what department is your husband in? I wonder if they know eachother, lol. The first few weeks of the deployment weren't too bad for me since I was busy with finals and everything.. but now that it's winter break and the holidays are here the loneliness kinda kicks in :/ Do you have anything planned for this new years?
hey! thanks for the add :) i think we've exchanged a few comments before, but im marjorie~ i see your husband is a nuke and on the vinson, my bf is too :) how are you doing with this deployment?
I know exactly how you feel! I am counting down the weeks ha. It would be so nice if he was stationed there. This past week has been crazy James finally got to come home (I didnt see him for 3 months) and we finally got married :)
ohhh I know where that is!! Yeah he wants to try and get stationed somewhere in california after he comes back from deployment but we will see :) it would be sooooo nice since its only like a 7 hour drive :)
no I dont know where that is but thats soooo exciting!!! my family and I go there every summer and I always hate leaving! I told james to save up cause when he gets out thats where we are going ha
I know I am so excited I cant wait!! yeah I hope it is clser to 7 months cause if not I might go crazy haha. Yes school definitly keeps me busy and I am kinda excited to be doing year round school and working full time cause it makes time go by faster :) So where in san diego are you moving to?? I want to mov there sooo bad its my favorite place :)
awww your so lucky!! yeah spring break went by wayyyy to fast. But james comeshome in 5 days so it was a good thing ha. He is on the USS abraham lincoln. Their deployment is suppose to be 7 months but it might change to 10 :(
ohhh well thats nice!! james leave for deployment in the next few months so then when he gets back I will have a year left of school but once I graduate the ship is suppose to go on another deployment so I dont know yet :( but I hope I get to move wth him soon!!
Yes we are both from az. Well james' family is mainly from mexico and thats where he grew up. Yes the program at asu is extremly competitive!! Its kinda rediculous. So when you graduate are you going to move to where your husband is??
ahh you play softball?? my cousin is huge into softball! I want to visit tucson so bad cause james has alot of family down there. I like asu but I hate their nursng program tats why I am switching in june. If I stayed at asu it would take me like 5 years to graduate cause you have to have between a 3.8 and 4.0 gpa to get into the program and I am working so hard just to get a 3.4 so its just not worth it.
Yeah I am afriaid James will have to deploy right after I graduate too :( Yeah I am from AZ I was born here but then moved around alot cause my dad was in the army but I have been in phoenix for the past 10 years :) I have never been to tucson though thats on my list of things to do ha How do you like U of A??
Ahh thats cool! Yeah I stil have 2 years :( but james will be gone at sea for most of them so it will be nice to have school to keep me busy. ASU is very competitve thats why I am switching ha or I wouldnt graduate for like another 4 years!! Are you from AZ??
Hey! Yeah I go to asu right now but I am switching to itt tech this summer cause it will let me get my nursing degree faster so I can be with my sailor :) Where do you go to school?? I am so glad I am not the only on in az that cant be with their sailor cause of school, sometimes it feels like it haha
