A is for the Army
So I am always at a loss as far as what to blog about. Lets go through the alphabet and see how that works for us.
A is for the Army.
I am so excited for Stephen to join the Army. Mostly because its nice to see him finally following through on something. I love him to death, but he is kinda scatter brained when it comes to life. He didn’t get much support as a kid pursuing multiple endeavors and items of interest. So I have been more than willing to let him spend the last 5 years trying to figure out his life. Exploring different careers, different hobbies, different places, different friends, things that i did my entire life, things that helped me realize who I was and where I wanted to go. Stephen has always wanted to Join the Army, well the military that should read, but he was never sure it was the right path. Everyone wrote him off as someone who would never accomplish anything and he wanted to be sure this is what he wanted to commit his life too. Now he is and he is doing it.
I have been behind him 100% from the get go. And I am just as excited about this as he is. Getting caught up in the excitement of it all the reality really hadn’t set in. That is until last week. I am going to get married go to college, while my husband leaves for basic training, and an Army life. I will be lucky to see Stephen 5 times a year for the next 3 years. I have faith in us, and I know we will be just fine, but that’s a daunting task for a couple who hasn’t spent more than 3 or 4 days apart at a time in the last 7 years. Maybe 23 days total?? Anyway I am not really worried about deployments, about him being safe, or any of those standard concerns. I mean I am but I can deal with those. I don’t know if I can deal with the separation.
Stephens looking good and planning on an August entry. Say a little prayer for him if you get the chance he is a little frustrated right now.
