I am SO sorry!

I know I do not have that many followers, but still, I feel awful about my lack of posts!!  I literally have been too busy to write!  What's happened since my last post?  Ummm the holidays, my college graduation, work, and oh yeah, starting GRAD school!!

Graduation was really exciting, but I didn't feel as relieved as other college grads might feel.  This is probably because I started graduate school yesterday.  I'm really nervous about this next chapter in my life.  My classes are going to require a lot of work out of me and a lot of reading (which I think is the worst part!)  I'm taking 9 credit hours which is full time and I am also working on Mondays, Tuesday mornings, and Fridays down at Cherry Point.  Busy, busy, busy!

OK so my blog is titled "Patriotic Barbie", so I guess I should write about something 'military-ish'?! :)  OK will do!!  Let me just say, I love working on base alongside the Marines.  I have previously developed some close friendships with some of them and already this winter, I have grown close with several more.  Most are Sergeants and Staff Sergeants who really offer me good advice when I need and they really are great listeners!  Oh and most of them have a great sense of humor...and they laugh at my jokes!  haha that makes me feel good :)  Yesterday I got a new ECU shirt from out student store!  It says "Pirates supporting Troops - Troops Supporting Pirates"  and it has a list of all the military bases in NC!

I hope that all of you have had a blessed holiday season and new year.  Make 2012 great!  If you made a New Year's Resolution, stick with it and make it happen!!!
