half a year.

It has been a whole 6 months that I have been living in New York.

6 months that I haven't seen my family & friends in Florida.

So,most of you know that A & I were supposed to be up here in NY for 6 months. Well... lets just say in Navy time, apparently that means a year. Let me explain;

We moved here in May which means that would leave in November. BUT when we got here, A didn't start his "classes" till a month later... (+ 1 month = 7)
So now we would leave in December. Yeah, NOPE. Apparently his graduation got put back about 2 months later. (+ 2 months = 9)
And well, on top of that... the class that graduated 3 months ago... they are STILL HERE!
(+ 3 months = 1 YEAR!)
Thats right... A whole year.
Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE New York. love love love love.
But there are a few reasons why I didn't want to (plan to) stay here for so long....
-We decided to rent furniture because it would be less of a hassle to move with it & a 6 month lease was reasonable. But now we have to keep getting extensions put on the lease. (bye bye money)
-We are outgrowing our apartment. When we first moved in... it seemed so big. But I swear every day the walls are closing in a tiny bit more.
-I want to be somewhere that I can properly "root" myself. I'm not too fond of this feeling of not knowing when we're leaving.
-I want to be on base... where I can have more friends and get out & do things.
-We don't want to or even know how to deal with snow. We barely knew what to do with the 3 inches we recieved last month... can you imagine adding feet to that?? 
But I think the biggest reason why I want to leave is because I want his orders to come in. I want to know WHERE we are going to be stationed. I just wannnna knoowwww!!!

A was given 7 options of where we could be stationed, and then had to make a "wish list" from what he wanted the MOST to least.

1. Hawaii

2. California

3. Washington

4. Connecticut

5. Virginia

6. Georgia

7. Guam

I pray every night for Hawaii or California. EVERY night. But honestly, as long as I end up in a nice area with a nice house... I would go anywhere.

But until then, I'm gonna keep on lovin' me some New York! (:
