Hello lovelies :) I know it's been a little while but I'm here for a fantastic update.  I am so unbelievable happy to say that my Matthew graduates next week!! Not only does he graduate, but he is coming home with me as well!!! I cannot begin to explain how excited I am. He gets a 3-6 month break between BCT and AIT, just in time for all the holidays, his birthday, and for us to most definitely purchase our first home. Which makes me even more happy, because I'm starting to really get annoyed  staying at my parents. I mean, it has been a huge blessing having my family's support and we saved a load amount of money not paying rent and utility bills, but I can't help but feel like I'm in the way and stepping on everyones toes here with two kids and all our stuff.  My little sister and I hardly get along which makes things 10 times worse.
        I have never been so excited to pack for a trip in my life! Almost 3 months without my honey has been.... depressing to say the least. I saved all my errands and list of things to do for this last week specifically so that I can remain super busy and time goes super fast! I feel so incredibly lucky to have him coming home with me instead of having to say another "see you later".  God has been so good to us throughout this entire experience, we are so blessed! Also, I got an almost 40 minute phone call this past weekend, and he sounded so good! He left for Victory Forge yesterday, which is the soldiers final big training test. This will be the test to pass that makes them official soldiers of the USA. Tomorrow is their last day at Vic Forge, and Tuesday we will be on our way to being back in each others arms.

7 days and a wakeup! Hooah!
