Day One: The Send-Off
I've never made a blog before--I couldn't even keep up a journal for more than three days in a row when I was a kid. But seeing as I just dropped off my husband at the airport for a year-long AmeriCorps stint 3000 miles away and I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself now, blogging might just be the thing. We'll start with an introduction.
My name is Samantha and I'm a graduate student in atmospheric science. I've always loved math, science, education, and the outdoors, and I hope that by the time I graduate I can figure out the perfect career that lets me combine all of those. Dogs are my favorite domesticated animals, and wolves and dolphins are my favorite wild animals. I cross-stitch, read, and watch Dr. Who, Game of Thrones, Modern Family...all the good stuff on Netflix and Hulu. I got married to my husband Wil after we graduated from college. We've been together for a year now! I love him like crazy, and you can read about his adventures in Alaska here.
I'm trying not to think about Wil being gone, but it's not really working. I think I got all my crying out of the way last night, but I'm probably wrong. At least I get to see him every couple of months, which is much better than the last time we were separated! I dropped him off at 8:30 this morning, and he should be landing in Anchorage at 12:30 tonight. My mom said she wished she'd taken a picture--Wil was decked out in his travelling clothes and rainproof boots, while I was in plaid pajama pants, a tie-dye t-shirt, and a sweater. Some ladies sitting around the airport looked at me funny a few times :)
That's really all I've got for now...here's a picture of some sassy bats. Thanks for reading!

So basically you should start reading trashy romance novels!
ReplyDeleteThere's no "like" button, so this is for you: I like your post! And depending on time and how quickly I finish the multiple books and magazines currently in my queue, I might revert back to some good old trashy romance novels. I know where to find reviews for a bunch ;)
