San Antonio Rain Storm

Last night we had our first storm since being in San Antonio. I was woken up around 3:30 from some pretty bad thunder and lightning. The kitties were kinda scared, and jumped a few times at some of the popping. Our power went out a few times, three probably. I was freaking out about whether our stove was leaking gas into the apartment (Never had a gas stove before) and it got really hot which made it impossible to go back to sleep. I fell back asleep around 5 am. The good news is that Anthony's platoon woke up around 4:30 and a female Sargent came in and told them to all go back to bed until 6:30 because of the weather conditions. I know that made him happy! Living here so far has it's up and down moments. It can be extremely boring at times, because we're broke at the moment, and one can only entertain themselves so many ways within the confines of a hotel room. I would go down to the pool - but the psycho neighbor who has a crush on Scarlett may just start stalking us again..... Things will get better once Anthony's pay gets fixed (they have been paying him as an E2 instead of an E3) and we receive our backpay - and once I get my car accident injury settlement. Once Scarlett leaves though, I will probably drive myself quite insane. Today we went to the bookstore for entertainment, though we have no money to buy anything! We have to save our money for food and gas for this weekend with Anthony. I am just thankful that we are close together right now. We could be 1,000+ miles apart. God is good, and is showing us the true meaning of happiness by allowing us to simply be together.

Update from San Antonio, Texas!

I haven't written in a while because my laptop has been under the weather, but good things are happening in San Antonio! I moved here on the 2nd of June, and have seen Anthony for the past 2 weekends in a row! It is sooooo good to be close to him again! We really enjoy spending our weekends together studying, watching movies, and playing video games. In the next few weeks we plan on going to Sea World and Six Flags - Fiesta Texas....We may also go to the San Antonio Zoo. Anthony is doing extremely well and passed his National Registry EMT test today! He is now officially an EMT! I am so proud of him! He starts his MOS phase tomorrow- 68W. He will be getting his aid bag and start doing the cool stuff, more directed at combat casualties.....I'm kinda nervous, but he's excited. Things are coming together, and the move here was a lot easier, because I had Scarlett come with me. We brought the boys along too. Charlie only got mildly sick because we had both of them drugged up! haha. We gave them some Kitty Prozac or something.... Aong the way here we ended up staying at a very shabby Motel 6 in Mobile Alabama, and then we stayed at a Howard Johnson in Lafayette Louisiana before we got to our temporary living in San Antonio. It's not the nicest place I've ever lived- but i'm close to Anthony and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. I bought Anthony a gift today for passing his EMT test - a MP3 player - so he can listen to music on his free time that he can't have out his cell phone. I am current;y loading all of his music to it - and that could take a while.... I guess it was smart of me however to bring his CD case before I came to TX. I really hope he likes it and appreciates all of the hard work and effort I am putting in for the hours it's going to take to load all of this crap! I really hope he enjoys it, and this will be the FIRST gift I have ever been able to surprise him with! He always manages to weasel it out of me. Anyway - I'm going to go so I can work more on that - I promise to update again soon!
