It won't be easy...

...to leave all my friends here in Texas. As a JAG family we will move alot. This could be a good thing if we are in a place we hate (which I don't see ever happening for us b/c we always try to make the best of everything) but it could happen I suppose. I LOVE my friends here and Germany is sooooo far away! I am having one of those days where I am trying to enjoy every second a little more because I won't have these wonderful people to be with much longer. I know when I move I will make new friends and new bonds will develop but it is sad to think that the people I am surrounded by now will just become memories. Do you ever wonder how you can be so close to people and then in a matter of a few years hardly talk to them? I know life moves on, new friendships, new priorities arise. Distance plays a big role too. There will be those few that stay life long friends but overall these thoughts are making me sad today. Tomorrow is my birthday! Tonight we are going to dinner with 5 other couples and then playing charades at a friends house! It will be bitter sweet.

  1. HI! I've read a few of your posts, and I found them very interesting. I am a student at a T10 in California (not Stanford, if that narrows it down) and a graduate from BYU. I'm interning at Travis this summer. I'm not sure if he did the JAG internship, but if he did I would love to talk to him sometime about his experience. My email is airforce@comcast.net. Thanks!

  2. I just finished reading your blog (in one sitting:), and I had to say THANK YOU! My husband has applied to be an Army JAG, so I am looking for as much information as I can find. He may not get in, and I know everyone's experience is different, but I appreciate your candor and insight. I wish you the best and look forward to reading more about your adventures.
