Just an update

It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. I've been at my job for almost three weeks and today I start by myself today. Scary stuff. Eric has weekend duty this week as well (he had it last week too).

Last weekend we were on the freeway and something blew in the car. It almost sounded like we ran over something and a tire blew out, but then all of a sudden our Passat sounds like a turbo diesel, except has no horsepower. We get off the freeway and we are in the middle of the ghetto. We putt our way to Carmax to find out they're closed. Get a ride to the Airport to rent a car from the Enterprise (the only one open in the whole city) since that is what Carmax told us to do. We get there only to find out they won't rent us a car because we don't have a credit card. Whaaaaa?! We are now stuck at the airport. I call Brittany (another military spouse I met out here) and her and her husband come to our rescue to drop me off at the house and Eric off at work. By this time it's 5 (Eric had to be in at 1645). He made it just in time. He didn't get out until 0100 and walked home. He finally got home at 0230 and passed out. His direct supervisor for the weekend said she would take the Sunday morning shift since it was at 0500. He gets a text at 0830 saying he needs to come in ASAP because it's his weekend duty and it doesn't matter if he needs to take a cab. I text Brittany and they come to our rescue once again.
[That stupid Sgt just didn't want to be there anymore because she partied too hard the night before. She wasn't even in uniform when Eric showed up.]
They chauffeured us around for the next day and finally Monday night we got the car back after getting it towed to a muffler shop.

We also got approved for a car loan through a credit union so now it's just trying to find a car within our budget that Eric likes (which is harder than getting the damn loan).

Other than that nothing too much going on. I'll try to update more often.
