The Joy of Being Sick....Not!

Well it has been a long while since I have updated my blog.....Since my last update not much has happened My boyfriend, His little brother, and Dad took me to my first KU football game....and even though we lost by one point.....I think I fell in love :D. Shortly after...on Sunday I started to catch a cold....but what I didn't realize that what I had caught was an Upper respirtory infection.....Let me tell you how much it sucks between the sore throat....cough and the barely wanting to stay awake....and not being able to breath....mmmm fun stuff. Something I hope I never have to catch again...My Dr. put me on 3 medications...and yelled a little that I didnt come in sooner because I could have gotten namonia....which is way worse and that if im not better when my medicine runs out not to wait and to go straight back in he seemed pretty concerned so I will be sure to do as I am told to get better. Right now he has me taking a anti-biodic for the virus infection....and a steriod because I have swollen tubes in my lungs...and on a narcotic coughing medicine to help quiet the cough and help me sleep....a total of 6 pills a day. Soon to come with Navy stuff.....I have a DEP meeting by Kansas City on thursday.....only if I am feeling better but its an all girls meeting so it shall be interesting......my recruiter also wanted me to join in a 5k run the 29th of this month I believe was the day but if I am not feeling better haha I will not be running in that race. My hope is to get better soon...and Hopefully I will get to keep my same leave date.
However other than being currently sick....All is well. :) Can't wait to get to chicago on Oct.30th :D yay!

Later,
Emily Rose Schmidt

So this past week Chris and I hung out once because he has been in Texas all week. So I have been doing a lot of talking with my best friend since middle school we hadn't talked in forever but it just so happened that not only were dating guys that looked similar but we were both away from them the same week for the same amount of days..... Kinda good for the both of us to be able to talk....She moved into her dorm at KState Sunday. Which her dorm looks amazing :D totally jealous. haha So school for everyone else starts up again thursday an sometime this week or next so I took Maggie and Libbie to get there locker combonations and since I had been cleaning my room for it to be like I was moving out I found some old books from school that I brought back....It was sad knowing I wouldn't be going back this year....but also this great feeling of accomplishment :). I am ready now to go to basic ready to face my future :D. I find out today hopefully if my roommate will be able to join and sign with the Navy :) I wish the best for her....She deserves it :) she is super smart and would be a great help to the U.S. Navy. I got to txt her for a little bit yesterday :) I think she is doing great but nervous about passing her Dr.'s Physical.
Anywho while Chris was away we talked everyday :) which helped with him being away. He is such a great guy. haha while he was on his way back he had said that his cousin got mad at the lady at McDonald because the lady in front of him got breakfast and he didn't. Elijah overheard me telling Brittany how funny I thought it was and It not only reminded me but also reminded Eli of the movie 'Big Daddy' and now thats all he wants to watch since Friday.....I swear he have seen it 18 times this week lol I love the little guy but I don't want to know every line to 'Big Daddy'.

So I drove to the mall for the first time ever by myself for my Dep Meeting Managed to find my way there after calling Chris and asking for directions....Then on my way home I ended up getting lost for an hour because I took a few wrong exits..... Then ended up on Kansas Ave. how Idk but wasnt my way home but I finally found it :) thankfully. Then afterwards Saturday my mom wanted me to take the kids to the pool in Topeka....So I did then again went the wrong way....but now I know my way and this time I wasnt lost for a whole hour.



Time for me to be practicing the 11 general orders and working out :D

My weekend :)) / Monday July 30, 2012

So my weekend was pretty hectic we moved my parents room down stairs to the playroom and moved Eli and the play room to my old parents bedroom and moved all the junk we need to take to the junkyard in the trailer. I had fun though. Chris was there to help me move dressers around and TV’s out to the trailer and what not. Glad I still got to see him this weekend. So we didn’t finish Eli’s room Saturday like we had hoped to but that didn’t stop me I got it done late Sunday night.

Chris asleep on the bed we just moved haha kind of a blurry picture but hey it works haha.

So Eli’s room turned pretty cute wish I had it….but I’m moving soon and will be able to decorate my own room how I want soon enough..

So this unknown dog just shows up in my yard over the weekend a girl dog a sweet dog as long as my little dog isn’t out side but she is part pit bull and she kind of scares me My mom said if no one claims her we should call the sheriff because we shouldn’t be afraid to let my dog to pee in our own yard. Hope someone claims her as there dog but she isn’t wearing a collar maybe she got dumped….which makes me sad.

Anyway Saturday when I brought Chris home we went to Wal-mart and Dollar Tree to get trash bags to finish the rooms my mom a thing so she can hang her clothes in her closet my sisters hair dye and my dad some reading glasses and For 5 dollars I got some amazing fingernail polish and nail files so I did my Nails oober cute LUV THEM! I got for finger nail polishes and 4 nail files. Black, silver sparkles, white, and clear.

Now its Monday I checked in with my recruiter and Just got done babysitting miss Olivia P. my little Cousin who I love she is super awesome we had fun

MEPS (July 27, 2012)

       So I got to my hotel room around 3pm where I met my roommate before we got assigned rooms her name is Alexandria :) she is totally awesome. We had such a great time together. I realized how much I loved being stuck in a situation where I didn't know anyone, you get forced to make new friends.  When we got to our room we of course where snooping around also trying to find our coffee cups and we could find any but we did find this egg in our drawer. Tehe.

Our Room was so pretty.

We got our room keys with our meal ticket he informed us that our meal ticket would not go in the vending machines and not to even try it appearently someone had already tried. The hotel had a restraunt where everyone ate at and it was really good its called the Boluvard Grill super delicious. These two marine boys got sat next to me and Andria they were really funny and one was really cute. haha.

Our room over looked the Pool it was awesome...the part of the building you can see by the pool is the area where we ate.

The name of the hotel we stayed at was the four points hotel.

We finally went down and got coffee cups.

Our room number :) haha.

Andria and I went down for a snack was a half hour early we decided to play a game of cards it was called war.....I won. :) the whole time we were playing  I kept getting the your cute Eye from this guy across the room and I was kinda thinking to myself oh god leave me alone. Ya he came right up to me to give me his number he had a different name....his name he had written on the paper was Zashius, weird.

All the brochures of things you can do in KC. Haha.

We had to get up early in the morning to get ready. We woke up at 3:30 not much sleep. When we went down to check out we had all of our stuff had to stand in a line and we got yelled at to hurry hurry hurry and when we ate breakfast...in the hotel we had eggs potatos and bacon and sausage really yummy and our of 55 of us he had us through what he calls the chow line in under 4 minutes.

So by the time I got through most of MEPS haha at 9:45 felt like 5 O'Clock at night lets just say I was extremely tired. But around 10:30 My medical Dr. informed me I had passed my MEPS examination and I was to report to my liason to pick a job. I picked my job which is ABH which stands for Airman boatswain I will be directing the Planes where to land on the boat which is gonna be awesome I also found out my A school is in Pensicola, Florida and I will be there for 6 weeks and My ship date for basic is 10/30/12.... then my liason told me to go to phase one where I went to get finger printed then I came back for Phase two where I signed my contract. Then went to eat lunch and had to wait till one PM to get sworn in. My mom didn't have enough time to make it to Kansas City but my cousin / God Mother was already in KC so I asked her to come watch and take pictures and videos. I will upload the video when I can get it on to my computer.

After swearing in I got my picture taken and signed some more contracts. Then they handed me my signed contract job description and my DEP (Delayed Entry Program) card.
