Wow...I was looking over my sister's blog: www.wanderinglili.blogspot.com and I saw the link to my own blog on her side bar, which informed me that I had not written on my blog for over 2 months. I do apologize to the people who might happen to read this and will try harder in the next 7 weeks to establish myself in the blogging community through advertising my blog on my facebook and myspace accounts and by telling my close friends to read, as well.

Now you might be wondering, "Why 7 weeks, Suze? That's an odd number." And yes, it's true, it might be an odd number for a countdown for you, but to me, it's probably one of the biggest decisions of my life.

It is exactly 7 weeks from today that I will be shipping off to Basic Training with the Army as part of the Army Officer Candidacy Program.





I am an applicant for the Medical Services Officer Corp, and am commited to this endeavor...quite literally...100%. My contract is signed and technically, you could call me Specialist Endsley, as that will be my rank when I enter into Basic Training as an E-4.

So, I am pledging today, that I am going to write this blog as an everyday(and some flashbacks of what this summer has been all about for me) chronicle of the events that are taking place leading up until the day I leave for training. Somedays might be more interesting than others, but I am excited about sharing this opportunity with everyone out there. I know that my sister will be ecstatic as well! But this will also be a chance for me to record what I'm doing to keep in shape and what all I find as I'm literally cleaning out my closets to get rid of everything. It ought to be interesting what all I find that I've forgotten about in boxes and on high up shelving!

I will also ask my sister again how to put up one of those countdown things on my blog for my shipping date!

Love to all!

Til Next Time,

Suze
