It's Starting!

After nearly 3 months here, we can finally say that real life is going to start!

It's just midnight here, and I am exhausted and about to crash. But let it be known in the world:

Ray and I are finally in-processing for our jobs next Monday and I will begin teaching Level 3 swim lessons  next Tuesday! We should have ID cards by Thursday or Friday of next week; and really, I couldn't ask for a better birthday present than that.

We can finally start planning more trips with the comfort of an income and we can finally start looking at cars seriously since an ID card will allow us registration privileges.

Plus, I finished filing our taxes today.

Life is Good

**UPDATE** This morning at 10:30 we got a call from HR for Ray telling us that Ray was missing a paper and without it he couldn't in-process on Monday. After learning which paper it was, we reminded them we turned that paper in over a month ago... :|

Also, about 2 weeks ago on one of our visits they said another agency had missed a signature. So we took that paper back to the agency, got the signature, and returned it to HR within an hour. And this was the so called "missing" paper. Each time we asserted we had turned it in and tried to coax that from their memory, they simply stated "Well we don't have it. You have to do it again." 

I made a mad dash to try and figure out how to get on base again today. When we received another call from HR:

HR: "Yeah, hi, Kaitlin?" (You obviously work hard enough at your job to know the names of the people you're assigned to help, thanks for that). 

Me: "Yes, this is Kailin..."

HR: "Oh hey, we found that paper of Ray's. It was in the shredder box."

Me: "Well is it shredded, then?!"

HR: "Oh no, just the 'to-be shredded" box. The pregnant lady apologizes. Hahaha...ha...hmm..."

Me: "... Okay, well thanks then. So we're still on Monday?"

HR: "Yup, see you then!"

Good grief. Slight panic moment, but life is still good.
