It is October?

It is October, already? It does not seem like it here. The weather has been in the 80s until the last two days when it was actually high 70s. Amazing though that I have been in school for over 2 months now and finals are only 64 days.

I think I have spread the news to most people, but Mike is coming home. The army denied his extension in Korea and they are now sending him to Texas! :( He is trying to re-up and see if that could help his chances, but right now we are still going to be apart. But it will only be 5 hours instead of different countries. The good news in the whole thing is that he will be on leave for the holidays so I am excited to get to spend that time with him.

I cannot believe my niece is 6 years old. It seems like just yesterday she was born. Wow, time does go fast. And her sister is growing so fast. She talks to me on the phone all the time now and I actually understand most of what she is saying. They are the reason I am so adamant that I will be going back to Iowa. I really miss my family!

Things are overall going well. I have settled in and I have made some really good friends. School is hard and challenging and hair-wrenching but I would not trade one minute of it! (Does that make me mentally off?)

Take care all! I love you and I will be seeing you soon!
