October 2012
Hi everyone! So here are some updates for October:
-Motorcycle Safety course postponed from 6-7 Oct to 27-28 Oct
-Em and I both passed our college classes (next ones to start first week in November)
-Finally took my MSF (motorcycle) course on 27-28 Oct at Camp Humphrey's. The 27th was rainy, so we completed all the classroom portion the first day, then spent 10 hrs on bikes on Sunday, the 28th
-I sent all my motorcycle endorsement validation paperwork to the NC DMV on 30 Oct, received the application on 31 Oct, received my eye exam (and had my eyes dilated for the first time in my life) on 01 Nov, and then mailed all the paperwork to the DMV on 01 Nov as well
-I sold my electronic drum set to help raise the rest of the money for my mess dress
-I acquired a new piano student at the beginning of October (she's 6 like Riley) and she is doing just as well as Riley (I currently have 3 piano students: Riley-6, Cathryn-6, and Connor-8). They're all 3 phenomenal students. They've also motivated me to get back into learning more classical piano
-I completed all three of my subordinates' EPRs (two were initial, one was annual). The one I completed the annual for is actually graduating from ALS on 09 Nov and putting on E-5/Staff Sergeant!
-Emilee is doing very well with home-schooling Riley while keeping Elijah home too (she can't complain too much considering what time she gets to sleep until each day :-P )
-Em and I both helped teach Riley how to ride her bike earlier this month. She's done very well!
-Elijah is now pretty much completely potty-trained! No more pull-ups!
Upcoming:
-Em and I start our Political Science course (and she also starts Geography) on 05 Nov (we're trying to make sure we get into the same Poli Sci course to bring up memories of classes we took together at UNC-Asheville, hehe)
-Should be hearing back about my motorcycle endorsement in two to three weeks
-We are now down to our 60 DAY MARK before we leave South Korea, so we should be receiving our flight reservations pretty soon
That's about it for now. Later!
