I've been in Tacoma for only a few days now, but I love it! It's so beautiful. Haven't interacted w/ the local population yet, but I doubt they're anything like ppl from So Cal, and that's a plus in my eyes! I suppose this really is a good assignment to be at and I will make the most of it. I'm not gong to lie, it still troubles me, being here, when I think of the ex. After all, me choosing this assignment was solely so that her and I would be together and finally get married. I thought I was in love... a part of me still thinks I am. I thought she was in love too, but her getting married only 4 months after us breaking up seems to tell me otherwise. Oh well... such is life. Time to pick up the pieces and rebuild. And I will rebuild. I have so much work to do before the time comes to decide if I want to stay in or not and if I choose not to, then I want to make certain that I'm more than prepared for civilian life. No matter what though... life is beautiful because I decide how I'm going to live it!
