By the way, I love the idea behind this group.

I'm about to send off my first grad school application tomorrow. How is everyone else doing/what are y'all up to?

Congrats! It is a good feeling to get the weight off! I dunno about you but I talked about getting down to my current weight for about 4 years before I actually did it.

Hey everyone. At the beginning of my fiance's deployment I set several goals. So far I have...
-lost 30 lbs and maintained a healthy lifestyle. I was around 140 lbs when I started and now I'm at 110-111 lbs.
-finished my Honors Thesis and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BM in Musicology, with honors.
-lived on my own after graduation without the financial support of my fiance.

Next month I will be presenting a shortened version of my Honors Thesis at the American Musicological Society's Southwest chapter meeting.

My only goals I haven't met are getting into graduate school and publishing an article version of my Honors Thesis. Hopefully I will accomplish those in the next several months.

Looking back... I put so much time and effort into getting this far and at the end of the day, it still fills empty. I don't feel like I've accomplished anything because Tyler isn't here with me to enjoy it. Bah. This deployment has taken so much joy and happiness from my life... I can't wait to have them and Tyler back!

Yes, Military OneSource can help. Also, check with the Family Support office (I don't know what it is for Navy - Fleet and Family support?), and the education office on base. They can give you lots of information on grants and scholarships available to military spouses.
