The Enemy is Neutralized

Drinking the bitter dregs of defeat

She is here looking angry.  I told her I wasn't in this to make friends.  

Our neighbors are so nice here, they brought us some fried wonton like things tonight.  I am really not sure what exactly was in them, but they were delicious.   

The thought that I am going to be living in this neighborhood for a while excites me for several reasons.

 I have moved so many times in the last eight years of my life that I have a really hard time when I have to write down previous addresses.   We are trying really hard to be social and start some relationships with our neighbors but it has been weird for us.  Living for so long in the military lifestyle can jade you a little bit, your neighbors are in and out so fast that you barely get to know them before you look over and someone new is in their yard.  You are always having to start over with friends and co-workers, and after a while it gets hard to make the effort.  I suppose what it really boils down to is that I hate having to say goodbye.  The more you care for someone the harder it is to let go.
