Yeah and since the sun wont be up it'll be chilly maybe some dress pants and a cute top or something I don't know. Yeah I have a cute outfit for his graduation and I think I'll just pack the outfits I already have for the weekend. I just found out there's only 8 Div in his PIR so it won't be a very long wait and there will be plenty of space :) I know I'm so excited for the first letter and then to finally just get there and see him. It's going to be amazing.
I know I talk about it and can tell people really don't care lol. I'm so excited to get past the boot camp step and on to A school then pushing through that and getting him based somewhere and being able to be together.
Yeah I mean I have good taste in clothes but I'm usually a terrible shopper my friend helped me out lol. I try and get a work out in everyday and eat right I mean he's going to be in shape lol I want to look good standing next to him. And oh I am anything Navy really I can't help but smile I also have been really into songs about the military and shows. I've gotten into it way more then I thought I would I'm just so proud of him I want to know everything there is to know.
I think I saw some sweats and now I can't remember where but I think they just said Navy on them. I found my outfit :) Pretty excited. He'll be in Fort Leonard Wood for construction. Yeah I hope it's not cold I did here it's rains a lot there in May. I got these white sailor pants with the buttons and a super cute top pretty excited now just got to get into great shape :) I'm so so excited I can not wait to see him!!
I know I love my little bear. I think I found a dress this afternoon, just have to make sure it's the right one. I know I found a wedsite with a bunch of that stuff I'll have to find it again but I want something like that with the I love my sailor or soemthing on it for when he's gone at A school. Do you know where your boyfriend is going for A school yet. John will be in missouri.
I know he got me this bear at build a bear and had a sailor uniform put on it and he recorded himself saying I will always love you Iove it so much and I have our pictures all over my dorm. I want to get something kind of sailory lol but I can't seem to find anything I found a perfect one online but they were out of stock. It was nice being with him that night we held hands all night loved it :)
I don't know I'll have to ask her. She probably has I would assume. I know I look at his facebook all the time even though I know there won't be anything there. I didn't get to go to his swearing in I know your not supposed to but I stayed with him at the hotel the night before and we said our goodbyes that morning that was really really hard. I wish I had gotten to see it though. I know he's going to look so nice and like an adult I can't believe it I'm trying to find something to wear still.
It's so nice to have someone going through the same things I am. Thank you so much. Yeah his mom and I are hoping we get that letter soon Lol just keep checking the mail. I can't imagine what it's going to feel like seeing him in his uniform it gives me goose bumps. Omg and hugging him ahhh lol.
I bet it was amazing I can't imagine. I know I bet John's having a hard time I just hope he remembers how proud everyone back home is. I wish I could remember his recruiters name shoot maybe I'll ask his mom. I can't wait to get my first one sent out. It's been a week now so hopefully within this next week sometime I'll get something.
My friends are the same way they just want to go out and I don't want to put myself in that position. I would hang out with his mom but I'm in college so I just kinda hang out here and there in my room. Yeah even when we were apart during school I always got those good night and good mornings I love you and it's wierd not getting them. I write about what's new here and telling him I love him and that everyone home is behind him. He just left Wed so I dont have his address yet but Im hoping soon that I can get my letters out and that he'll get a chance to write one. I know I'm hoping he can get mine soon so he knows that he's still on my mind and that nothing's changed but the distance.
Thank you so much. My friends have been trying to keep me busy but they don't really understand. I just write him a little every night and that sort of seems to help I think it's just the fact that I can't hear his voice or kiss him.
