hello again
Hello. My name is Sara. No more AFG. I'm so glad I can use my real name now that I'm not with DB... or, uh, Former DB. Of course I tried to be as anonymous as I could to protect ex-DB... omg he's my ex... whatever... but I don't have to anymore and I like that.
Considering the fact that I don't have a job or a home to call my own right now, I'm doing okay. I mean, how can I be stuck in the past, wishing for what we had and what we could've been, when he has said to me, "I'm not in love with you anymore", and he's acting like we were never even in love. No more crying (although I haven't done much of that). It's not worth it. Time to move on! I'm looking forward to bigger and better things!!
All other issues aside, being a military girlfriend sucked. I mean, I'm more proud of him than I've ever been of anyone I've ever met (and that will never change), but I was not and never would have been first place in his life. He made that very clear. And that's understandable. Okay, besides God, who always gets first place. I could say more about this, but it's really not necessary anymore.
At times like these, it's good to have friends. I'm so thankful for the many good friends that I have. Seriously though, I have been so blessed lately by friends that I haven't spoken to in as much as 10 years who have taken the time to be there for me, to talk, chat, hang out, whatever. I actually can't believe it. I hope one day I can be as good of friend to them as they have been to me.
So... now onto the issue of this blog. Obviously I have to change the title. To what, I have no idea yet. I created it for the purpose of documenting my time with Matthew (oops, yup that's his name), moving in and living with him. Now that I'm not with him anymore and living back in CT, the purpose of writing has changed. I'll also probably end up changing the URL name. Of course this is not considered a "milblog" anymore, and honestly I'm no longer reading most of the milblogs that I used to keep up with (except a few favorites), but I hope my regular readers will continue to stop by here. Please drop me a comment too, I'd love to hear from you.
Right now I'm thinking about a career change. I had worked as a medical secretary at the hospital for almost 10 years and I know for sure that is NOT what I want to do anymore. I took a career test online (a reputable one) and the results were not too encouraging. The top result was makeup artist... seriously, I don't even wear much makeup at all. Other interesting matches were zookeeper, special effects technician, costume designer, archeologist, photographer, enlisted member of the armed forces (haha yeah right!). When I was little, I always wanted to be a homemaker. Then a flight attendant. Then an Egyptologist (like an archeologist who specializes in all things Egypt). My greatest desire is still to be a homemaker. I want to one day dedicate myself to raising a family. That's not unattainable, just something I have to wait for. I'm not totally ruling out flight attendant because I think it says something about you if you've had the same interest for most of your life. I love flying, I love airports, and since I'm not tied down by anything or anyone right now, it would be a good experience for me. Maybe one day I could end up an air traffic controller, who knows! The first career I'm considering right now is photographer. I love taking pictures - in fact, in the six months that Matthew and I were together, I alone took over 900 pictures, just of things related to us. I'm going to see if there is some kind of photography class I can take and see what happens.
So that's it for now!

Done for now
Well due to me having absolutely nothing good to say right now, I'm going to stop posting for a while. I started this blog to share my experiences of moving and living in Delaware, but since that part of my life is over now (on hold, in limbo, up in the air?????), I'm going to stop posting for a while. I don't know how long because I don't know what is going to happen with me now. I was asked to leave my home and now I have to start over. Maybe when everything is not so painful anymore I can start updating this blog again.

Guess what?
Very soon this blog will no longer be called Down in Dover. I still made cookies to welcome him home though...

Missing Daddy...
Very early this morning DB left on a short mission... and this poor pup has been moping around all day looking sad and wondering when Daddy will be home.
This morning she must've finished her breakfast and went right upstairs to look for him. This is where I found her. She never gets on the bed so this was rare.
A couple hours later I went to check on her and she was still in his bed. The girl LOVES her daddy. Pathetic little thing.
(ps - don't worry honey, shortly after this pic I kicked her off and made the bed!)
Later in the afternoon I caught her sitting at the top of the stairs with her ears perked up like she was listening for something... probably trying to hear if he was home.
In a couple hours I'll put the little baby to bed and then she'll only have to endure one more day without her favorite person.
In the meantime, there's some Baked Doritos calling my name...

Silver Lake Park
Last night we went out on a date. Something I think we've technically did one other time. We had dinner at Red Lobster (can you believe this was his first time there?!) then we went to see Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys. Great movie, I totally recommend it. Seriously, Mr. Perry is a genius - he writes, directs, produces AND acts in all of his movies! I have only seen one other movie of his, Madea's Family Reunion, but even though I new nothing of this new movie I just knew we'd like it since I like Family Reunion so much. I love his movies for the real life situations and life lessons. We didn't get home until around midnight (which is late for us old ladies!) so this morning we slept in til about 9:30 (which is also late for us!) We had a small breakfast and then headed out with Phoebe to Silver Lake Park. It's a great park with a small beach, a couple playground areas, a few ponds with many ducks, several picnic areas, and a winding path.
Here's some pictures we took. The one with the small, blurry bird... we were informed that it was a bald eagle! Supposedly there are at least two that live in the area.
