After we got off the phone yesterday I cried hysterically for about 10 minutes then got my act together and was all smiles! I guess they were happy tears! Do you know what you are wearing to graduation yet? I am going shopping this weekend to try and find a sexy sundress!
Ohh emm gg !!! Talking about cloud nine hunny.. shew, I feel like a million bucks after that phone call.. I told my husband all about you and Anna, and Heather (HeatRod) and he was happy that I was getting to know yall.. I told him I thought your mans name was Alex, but wasn't sure.. they only know last names anyways though.. And yes, I better get to meet you and your lil beauty at PIR !!! And it would be awesome if us four could travel together if all the guys can stick together throughout this without any rollbacks.. omg, this feeling is almost unreal.. I la la la la LOVE it! Where are you staying at for PIR ? Anna got a call too, her computer is messed up, so we text each other and facebook all day. speaking of, I'll send you my number in a message if you ever want ( or need ) to talk.. But I do think this call can last me another 30 days.. WOO FREAKING WHOOOO!!!!
Yes, I (finally) found what I'm wearing to PIR.. I'm ordering it off of Victoria Secrets website.. Since they are going to be in their dress whites, I tried to find something that would match him, but not clash either. It's a navy blue dress, with a white tie around the waist.. not sure about shoes, probably just some sandals.. and I'm making my daughter a pillowcase dress that is gonna match us. I'm going to try and find some sailor anchor material in white and blue, and use blue and white ribbons.. ( if you don't know what a pillow case dress is, google it.. SUPER CUTE!! ) I'm so flipping excited!! I don't even want to imagine what I'm going to be like the night before we leave.. EEEKKKK!!! I can't wait! I'm so ready for more letters and calls, and omg, just the thought of hugging him and kissing him, drives me mad!!! :-D
Hey lady! I'm still waiting too, but I seen somewhere on this site, that when they get calls, it's usually before even chow, which happens around 5 I think.. I can't wait for May 14th either.. It seems like as each day passes, it gets easier, but I miss him more, does that make sense ? lol And now, everyday, Kylie asks about her daddy, when we're going to move with him, and she "wishes" for him everyday, it's heartbreaking.. But I decided today, then when I go up for his PIR, we're just gonna go ahead and stay up there while he's in Pre-Buds, because we get housing allowance, and it will cover it.. So, that's something for me to look forward to. but in the mean time, 32 days CHICA!!!!!
oh gosh girl i have been counting down the days since i found out the date of the graduation. i even have my hotel room already. i will be staying at the hilton garden (i'm getting a good deal on it through a friend). do you know if they will have the whole weekend? i understand they will have to be back on base at night but it would be nice to spend a few days with him.
Hey!!! How are you doing today?! Omg, I'm barely making it. 37 days and counting.. It seems like forever. But we're ALMOST halfway.. Any letters or phone calls? They are supposed to be able to call this week sometime, and hopefully the letters will be here tomorrow or Thursday... I'm so impatient. I miss him beyond belief!!!! My life ( besides our daughter ) has no meaning to it without him here :(
Hey! Yea, that's why I added ya, we may all be stationed together one day :0) lol Have you made reservations for pir weekend yet? Anna and I both will be at the Navy Lodge, you should too so we could all meet up... This bootcamp stuff is the hardest thing in the WORLD. I hate not being able to talk to him whenever I want.. But, we are on week three, THANK GOD!! haha
