Oh boy. The countdown is on. ONE month until my sweet, handsome husband heads to Basic.
(Try saying that one 3 times fast!)
We've made a few trips to the Recruiters office in the past few weeks, to get things all squared away. I think with each new thing that happens and each new thing that's said makes it all sink in that the day isn't just coming, it's coming FAST.
• Medical release form - CHECK
• Holden's Birth Certificate - CHECK
• Beckham's Social Security Card - CHECK
• Physical fitness testing - CHECK
• Updated paperwork for Jake to sign - Going first thing tomorrow morning
It's coming. The day is really coming. I am not sure I can even begin to describe
the feelings that are running through my head, and I'm scared to even THINK of the
thoughts that are running through JAKE'S head. After all, HE is the one that's flying
to a city over 1400 miles away to go through Basic Training @ Great Lakes. I am so darn proud of him for making this choice for our family, and for being such a responsible person! I can't wait for the changes it will bring. Trust me, it will bring them... and it's going to bring them alot faster than I realized!
In some ways I envy you. I know you don't believe it, but I do. You know exactly what day he is leaving, we got about 2 or 3 days notice that DH was leaving early. I thought I'd have more time to prepare myself, but I didn't. So for that, I envy you. You will do great, you are strong. And you can always count on me to talk to. Be prepared that it could be more than 12 weeks that he'll be gone, with the Navy, things like that aren't always guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteYou know you won't really be alone! You have family here to support you. (I know it's not the same as a husband but remember we are here.)
