What a day~

Hello everyone!

Hope that your day is going well so far. My day started way to early than I would had like it to. We had an uniform inspection this morning. We had to be in fromt of the hospital no later than 0630! So that meant I had to get up at least by 0445...way to early for me! But I am glad to say that I passed inspection and the CO (commanding officer of the hospital) said that I did an outstanding job on shining my boots. lol

From being up so early, my day went by so slow!! I felt like time was standing still. I didn't think that 1600 would ever get here! But I have to say that it wasn't too crazy of a day at the clinic. Which I am thankful for.

So now I am off to have dinner with a couple of great friends!!
Ciao Ciao!!

My first Christmas overseas!

Happy Holidays!!

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas!

My Christmas was pretty good considering this was my first Christmas that I was away from my family.

Thank goodness for Skype!!

Christmas morning I called back home and opened presents with my family via skype. It was awesome! It kinda felt like I was actually back home in Illinois opening presents with them!

Then I got together with a few people that I work with for a great lunch.

I have to say, it was a pretty decent meal that we all put together.

It was almost as good as back home!

Later in the evening I skyped the other side of my family while they were enjoying their time together. I was actually put on the big screen tv in the living room so that everyone could see. Which was nice to be able to see and talk to everyone :)

So that was my Christmas, even though it wasn't exactly like home, I still think that I had a great one.

Hope you all have a great rest of the year!

Any good plans for the 31st?

News Flash!!! Mail Exchange!!

Hey Guys!!

Hope that you are all having a great week and getting ready for Thanksgiving!!

So I just thought of this because right now I can't seem to fall back to sleep.

I hate when this happens, dont you?

So here's my idea....

I figured that I could put my address up

and if someone mails me anything that

I will mail them something in return.

I figured that you could mail things that represent where you are from, things you like or anything like that.

So as you all know, I am in the military and I am stationed in Italy, so if you decide to do this just make sure that you don't mail some crazy items that the USP would frown upon.

(Plus I love getting mail, it makes my day!)

Just make sure that you put a little note saying where you heard about this and if you have a blog I will start following it and I will write about what I got as well!!

So here is my address:

Jennifer Glover

PSC 827 Box 382

FPO AE 09617

*Just a little note, if you want it to get here in a timely fashion, you need to send it priority just so it wont take months to get over here*

Tell any of your blogging friends, I would love to see how many new people I can meet through this experiment :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Some of my favorite Quotes

Beautiful pictures are developed from negatives in a darkroom..

So if you see darkness in your life

be reassured that a beautiful picture is being prepared!

Things I Miss....

Being stationed in Italy is great and a good oppurtunity for me as well,

but there are a few things that I still miss and sometimes wish that I would have picked some where state side first besides Italy.

So here's my list:

1. Miss my family including my dog, Tinker!

2. Being able to drive

(since I don't have a car over here)

3. Having a full kitchen to cook in!

(but I am thankful for the small one that I have)

4. Being able to pay with US Dollars every where I go

(converting to €'s is a pain sometimes)

5. Starbucks!!

6. Dairy Queen Blizzards

7. Being able to go to college football games!

8. My friends from back home

9. The fall weather

(it's not the same here in Italy)

10. Enjoying the holidays with the fam.

(haven't had to experience a holiday yet with out them yet over here, but im sure its not going to be the same)

Well, thats all that I can think of, but Im sure that there are more..

I promise that my next post will be happier!

Hope you all enjoy your Monday off due to Columbus day!

Until Later,

O Curls, Curls! Where Forth Art Thou, Curls?

I know that this post might seem a little strange but I was thinking about this this afternoon...

I am wondering what happened to my natural curly hair???

It has gone from great curls to just normal straight hair, just out of no where. Well, maybe it has been going on since January when I was in bootcamp. Slowly since then it has gotten more straight.

Crazy!!!

I miss just being able to just get of the shower, put some mousse in it and be done with it! Now I have to blow dry it and then straighten it

So here are a couple of pics to show what I am talking about:

This was taken in July of last year and thats how it was like up to bootcamp:

And the current pic of me:

See what I mean!!

I only used the straightener just to make it lay better!

Sorry for having you to read about my crazy thoughts that just come out of no where!

Hope that you all have a GREAT day!

Until Later,
