Still NO news

Well, I had certainly hoped by now that I would have some exciting news to tell everyone, but alas, I don't. Apparently way more people than usual applied at this particular board and that's holding them up as well as some other issues with the new COT class starting on Monday.

So here it is, almost the end of August and we know nothing more than we knew a year ago. Awesome. I keep hoping every day will be the day we get the call but at this point I'm beginning to think that we'll be in limbo forever. I'm hoping for next week sometime, and as soon as we know I will post it.

To complicate things even more I've pretty much lost all hope of Kolt making the October COT class which would mean there's not another one until January. That means we have to find a new place to live in Salt Lake and possibly even Idaho now that my brother and his daughter have also moved in with my parents. I'm trying to just take it one day at a time and not worry about the things I don't know yet but not knowing is beginning to take it's toll. I'm having a hard time sleeping at night and I frequently am very anxious and feel nauseated because of it, (and NO I am not pregnant). I know it will eventually all work out and we'll figure things out one step at a time, but this is just getting really old.

On a different note, we recently celebrated Kolt's 29th birthday and that was a blast. Our good friends Brandon and Lauren Martin and they're adorable baby girl came to visit and we went to the rodeo and to the reservoir. Kolt's parents and niece and nephew also came down and it was so much fun. It's been an incredible summer over all and I just keep wishing there were more time because there's so much we still want to do!

Speaking of birthdays, mine is coming up in 3 short weeks :) I keep tossing around the idea of a trip, possible to Monterey, Ca and Kolt is definitely not opposed, we just can't make any plans until we know what's going on. But I have high hopes for a really fun birthday. We've kind of made traveling for it a tradition over the last few years. If nothing else I'm training for a 10k now for the weekend of my birthday, so that will be great if nothing else. I've run as far as 5 miles at this point and I think if I really step up my training I'll be able to do it!

So I really hope that very soon I'll be able to post some good news, if not you may hear about me on the evening news going crazy and doing something stupid, lol.
