He CALLED!

Pat called this afternoon to say he was fine and to give me his address...9 weeks and 4 days till we get to see him.

He said there was at least one person older than him and that was good to hear.

The count down has begun!

Pat left for basic training this week (tuesday). Tuesday was ok because we got to spend the whole day with him. He flew out Wednesday morning and we where able to chat during his travel--still ok. Then Thursday came, and friday, and Saturday yuck..yuck..yuck..I can't wait till we get our first call or letter so I can hear his voice or just read his pages. Do you know that it takes at least 5 days for a letter to come from South Carolina to Portland.

I at now at 9 weeks and 5 days till I get to see him for graduation.

Basic is just around the cornor

As you can tell I don't write much in here yet. The plan is to blog when Pat (my husband) ships off to Basic and I need a place to write or vent.

So my husband leaves on Tuesday Sept 23, 2008 to start his career with the Army (Reserves) at this time. We are looking to go active duty at some point but for now our plan is to stay in P-town till next summer.

So life at home will change starting next week. At that point we will see how much I log on and blog.

Till next week...pray for our family :)
