I just got off the phone with Michael. OMG it was so good to hear from him. I missed his call because I was down the hall and I just started crying and then he called back. Gosh I miss him so much but he sounds so good. He had his wisdom teeth pulled (as did half the division). He said the food isn't bad and boot camp isn't bad. He is a little home sick but he is okay. We can't wait until Oct 1st. He past the swim test, the physical test and the written test. I AM SO PROUD AND JUST SO EXCITED I FINALLY GOT TO HEAR HIS VOICE and he already received some of our letters. YEAH!

I about peed when the call came in!!! I posted in main group but man it was like oral chocolate to hear his voice. And he cried so hard just because he misses me. Asked about our kids (the pugs) and if I had been getting his letters. I forgot to ask him anything i had written down. He is doing well despite missing us here at home. He only had like 10 minutes. It was hard, really hard to hang up the phone. I could hear the RDC in back telling them to wrap it up so I knew he had to go, but I listened for the click and he was gone. Ugh. My stomach hurts now, lol. I told him to focus on what they are teaching him and be a sponge. Told him, "Make your girl proud!" he laughed and than started to cry, lol. He's so damned cute. He cries at sappy or sad commercials on tv or movies too. Super softy. It's what makes me love him. But dammit I am so made I could slap every one of the turds, that got our time cut down, with a fish! Grrr. Turkeys! I am just glad a call got out. I wish I would have recorded it on my phone, I forgot about that feature. Crap! Next time...got remember for next time so I can listen to it and make sure I don't forget anything,lol. YAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYA!!!!
