Hey ladies. I hope some of you remember me (at least all the girls I still talk to on facebook ;) ).Unfortunately I had to leave mtmh due to harrassment from one of the members (of whom I will not name) but I thought I'd give it another shot. I'm Mary and last time I was on I was maybe 2 months pregnant. Well you know it's been a long time because our little boy is now 8 1/2 months old and both me and DH are now 22. We celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary in April and we pcs'd out of AK in May. We've been at Fort Riley for 2 months now and so far, I hate it. The area is great but most of the people here are very rude and closed off. I have terrible neighbors and I can't wait to get out of this house. Anyway, I missed it here and Sherry sent me a message asking me to come back so here I am! I'm going back to school in about 2 weeks for nursing and I'm still a SAHM but trying to get a part time job as well. Not sure what else you all may want to catch up on but I'm back for good hopefully.:hi:

Oh I just wanted to add that on top of the ups and downs of moving and having a baby, a few days before we were supposed to pcs out of AK (we were already in the hotel and out of our apartment) my dad passed away. He was 64 and wasn't very good about going to the doctor. They think he had a heart attack and he was all alone and not found until the next day. I wasn't very close with him and the last time we had talked was 2 months prior and had an arguement but it still hurts. This is why I hate to hold grudges because you never know what might happen or when. Tomorrow marks 3 months since he passed and I'm finally getting around to trying to do his 401k stuff. I've never lost a family member before. I still haven't even deleted his number out of my phone or info out of my phone book. I hope it gets easier over time. He never even got to meet our son. He was just 2 weeks away from seeing him. It had been about 10 months since we had see him also.

holy cow 8.5 months old!! Pics girl! Congrats on the baby and 2 years! How wonderful!

I'm sorry you're having trouble settling in at Riley but it sounds like you'll be keeping busy. I've found sometimes making friends outside the post you live at is sometimes easier! You don't wind up with as much drama.

I hope you settle in soon!

Thanks Mere!!!! Glad to see you're still around! I'm hoping to meet some people at school that aren't military or that at least don't live on post. I was so excited to try on post housing since we were off in AK but I'm not impressed.

Welcome back Mary!!! It's wonderful to see you and I'm so glad the baby is doing well. I'm sorry to hear about your father though. I know distant parental relationships can be tough, let alone i they pass before you are able to make peace.
Wish things were better at Riley but hope things start getting better soon!!

Not sure if I was posting here when you left but Welcome back!!. My brother-In Law is at Riley but we don't talk much his ex-wife is a facebook friend though and she's still in Kansas but I think she moved up closer to the city, she teaches English at one of the Universities and is working on her PHD I think. I know with her once she started back to school she made more friends etc. So hopefully the same thing will happen to you.

I'm also sorry to hear about your Dad, my father In-law is the same way about Doctors and I know hubby worries that he will have a heart attack or something. We almost lost him about 2 years ago cause one of his main arteries ruptured but he's really close to a hospital so they were able to save him.

Welcome Back!
Congrats on your anniversary and little Marcus!!
Sorry to hear you don't like Riley. I believe it is what you make of it. Don't let the negative hold you back and you'll find the positive! There is good and bad everywhere.
((HUGS)) My dad passed away in 1995 and I'm still not 100% to grips with it. Time does heal the heart but the heart never forgets. Maybe when you make a visit home you can go to his grave and let it all out, the good the bad and the ugly. I know it might sound crazy but it can help you let go of the negativity and move on to the future..think of the good times and stories you can tell Marcus.
