Will this go anywhere?

I once blogged while deployed in Afghanistan so that I didn't have to answer 50 emails asking what life was like on camp...was I scared...was it dangerous...but since returning, I've never been one to blog nor even read other's blogs but we'll give this a try here and see if I continue with it or drop it.

I'm now an EA in a holding pattern.  I have been initiated and welcomed into my new lodge but now what?  I feel a bit abandoned.  I have no idea what the next step is nor if anyone is going to call me or if I just show up at the next meeting. 

Our meetings are monthly so in my mind, that's a long time to do nothing.  I just feel that I should be working on my next degree.  I guess I'm just too new and impatient and I'm sure all will fall into place after my next lodge meeting.  It is the holidays after all and we're all busy with family etc...

One thing keeping me excited and going is the new ring I have ordered from Dexterrings.com .  They make the most detailed family seal rings I have found yet and they have a special secion for Masonic and Templar rings.  I've chosen a classic Square & Compass motif with two Latin mottos around the edge.  The company is great to deal with sending emails back and forth with recommendations about size and placement and when it's all said and done, they send you artwork of the finished product for your approval before making the ring.  I am very anxious to receive it!
