In chicago in the USO office at the airport !

I am the only girl staying at the hotel.Which means no room mate. Which means I’ll be bored. But there are about 4 other guys there somewhere I’ve only met one but I prob won’t communicate with them. Although they have a hot tub, jacuzzi, treadmill, and ellipticals. (Maybe even I sauna I think I remember her saying :D ) That’s good cause I wanted to work out tonight :P Right now I’m at home and going to have dinner with my mom, brother, and Kayla afterwards i’m going back and signing in to the hotel.  I’ll prob be able to check in later cause I can use the computers at the hotel. G2G!

Just here to say good bye to all of my lovely followers!

Don’t know when I’ll be back on my tumblr to update, or if I’ll even be back on today.

So I’m here to say good bye and thank you for everyone’s thoughtfulness and support!

I gave my information to Kayla in case I have anything I want to update you guys with while I’m away for who knows how long :P Between 2-5 months.

Don’t un-follow me while I’m away!

Time to go on my adventure and begin my new life.

Love, theenavyjamie <3
