Learning how to live

Since me and Joey are "newlyweds" we don't know much about living on our own.  We've been learning day by day on our own. Not having your parents just a phone call away is hard. The time difference is 15 hours so getting help from anyone in the states is difficult. Currently we have two leaky sinks and a messy house that NEEDS cleaned. when we moved in two weeks ago we had a leaky sink, the cable didn't work, and the dryer was broken. We still have no trash cans so we have trash bags tied up everywhere. I feel like a noob! haha.

We are figuring everything out though. we are saving money for when we get pregnant. and we are also buying new things for the house every week. We still don't have a car so we have a big duffle bag and take the one and only bus on base everywhere. The one major struggle I am having is doing everything at the house alone. the trash, the dishes, the laundry, cleaning the rooms, cooking dinner. I'm doing everything. because joey works all day and then goes to bed early.

It's so different for me to spend everyday alone doing chores. Back home i would spend the mornings and occasional nights doing chores and then i spent the days with my friends (mostly just Alison ha).  Here i don't have many friends.  I haven't actually hung out with anyone yet either. nearly everyone Ive met has kids or works.

life of the new military spouse i guess.
