Long time passes

It's been almost three years since I used this blog. And really only ever intended to use it as a place to post my photos for friends to see, but after a while I stopped posting. So, a lot has changed in my life.

First and foremost, I got married. I met my husband Thomas through a mutual friend who dragged me to his friend's wedding. I actually met Thomas a year or two earlier at that same friend's apartment, but I didn't really meet and get to know him until that wedding.

I was still working meth labs, but we'd had such a decrease that I was also working firearms cases intended only for entry into the NIBIN database. NIBIN is a national database of bullets and cartridge cases, similar to AFIS (fingerprint database) and CODIS (DNA database). I spent most of my time test firing guns and making entries into the database. Thomas worked for Remington Arms where ammunition is made, so I told him his ammunition sucked. I guess he liked that because it wasn't long before we had our first date.

I decided to apply for a position in firearms and I started working permanently in that section in January of 2008. Thomas also moved in with me about then and began an apprenticeship as a machinist with Remington Arms.

We married in October of 2008. It was the most beautiful day!

And now it's been over a year. This is our second married Christmas. I finished firearms training at the end of July and have been pumping out the cases since then. We're the only section at the lab with a decreasing backlog. And I always get to come home to my hubby.

Life is good.
