This summer, I have to do a 400 hour paid internship at any hotel or restaurant or airline/airport or cruise. Basically I can go anywhere, but I need to get a job there for 400 hours. I really thought I'd complete the 400 hours at Embassy Suites, where I work now, but I'm kinda wanting to be a little more adventurous while I can be.
Heres the timeline, however.
April 9th- Bern and I get married!!
May 26th- Bern deploys.
May 30th ish- I need to start my new 400 hour job.
Is it a good idea to be away from home after sending my husband off to Afghanistan?
Should I leave Nebraska and have the perfect distraction of my new job?
My roommate Jordan, also the coolest girl I know is going to Colorado for the summer and we've talked a few times about me working in Denver or Castle Rock at a hotel. Sounds great, right?
My aunt and uncle once mentioned to me that I should get a job at the Crown Plaza in Venture, CA (where they live) and live with them for the summer. Perfect distraction, right? Still with family, but far away from home.
Otherwise, I could be super adventurous and go to a cruise line somewhere or toward to east coast or something out of the country.
Lots to think about, and soon.
This weekend is going to be great! Bernie's sister, Amy is getting married on Saturday. I'm going to Omaha to see her on Friday and help with last minute details and such. Amy's brother's John and Bernie are at drill today and tomorrow and will HOPEFULLY make it to Omaha on time for the rehearsal...They are both in the wedding.
Lissy, John's wife is going to be there too. We're both bridesmaids. I'm kinda bummed because last night I found out the Bernie and John both have to go back to Grand Island for drill on Saturday night or Sunday morning. (Leaving around 4:00am) if they stay the night Saturday.
I never knew that Bernie had to go back on Sunday for drill so when he told me right before he left last night I was pretty bummed. The thing that sucks about the Army and what makes it so hard is that when they have to go, they HAVE to go. Something I just have to get used to.
Anyway, bring on the wedding!

Working on a cruise line would make contact with Bernie hard. I've heard that Internet time, for example, is incredibly limited. So, you would have a significantly decreased chance of getting to talk to him at all during that time. I vote for California. Perfect distraction, but still allows you to have a better window for communication.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you that if you go anywhere away from home, you need to figure out who to notify that you're leaving, and where you will be. Otherwise if, God forbid, anything were to happen, they wouldn't be able to get ahold of you. Just make sure you let the army (you can ask someone on base) know where you will be (an address and phone number)
