Sweet Reunion

Arriving in Georgia was very surreal. Knowing my hubby had done the same thing just 10 weeks prior was chilling. I was so anxious to see him! We checked in to our hotel and low and behold...A PHONE CALL from Jason!! He had his phone back for good. It was so wonderful! That night, I finally got meet some of the fabulous women I had met that were going through this as well! We all had gitters and couldn't wait to see our men! I didn't sleep at all that night...I was just way too anxious! I was ready very early and found myself pacing a little. I couldn't wait to run into my man's arms! The Family Day ceremony was amazing! Watching all of the company march in chanting! (I cried). When we finally spotted him, it was hard to contain myself! (again, I cried). Finally, it was over and we were able to go get our soldiers! Into Jason's arms I went...of course, crying! Paige followed. She was so excited to see him! She just kept kissing him and touching his face and saying Daddy for no reason at all. It was such a sweet moment!





After Family day, we got to spend the whole day with him! It was wonderful! I missed him so much! We even got some alone time! :) Taking him back that night was hard, even though we knew we were going to see him in the morning. The next day we were up early again. Graduation was absolutely amazing! I cried to the whole thing! I was SO proud! Jason was fortunate enough to be in the front row of his platoons formation! We got excellent video and pictures of him! Again, after the ceremony, we got to have him for the rest of the day. Leaving him was hard...all over again. I knew that I was going to be able to visit him in Oklahoma, but the ache was there! After a long 10 weeks, it was so wonderful to see him, but it went so fast. I am so proud of the man that he has become! I am so madly in love my U.S. Soldier and I am a very proud Army wife! Hooah!

Here we go!

Well, the day has come! We are going to Georgia tomorrow morning! I cannot believe that we have made it through the first 10 weeks! Jason is doing wonderful and anxiously awaiting our arrival! It will be a long week with not alot of sleep, but extremely worth it. I am very eager to see Jason and finally be able to talk to him...face to face. Paige is so excited to see daddy. She has several things that she needs to show him (outfits and such). Jason is going to be very shocked at how much she has changed...not necessarily by looks, but her conversation. She talks NONSTOP! I am so anxious for our reunion! I have met some amazing Army wives that are going through the same thing. Several of their husbands are good friends with Jason. We are all looking forward to seeing each other as well!

I would just like to thank each and every one of you that prayed for us and supported us. God has been just amazing through these last 10 weeks. Without Him, we couldn't have done it. We have been so blessed by our families and our friends that have truly been there for Paige and I and also supported our family's decision! THANK YOU!

10 days

We are finally down to 10 days!
I have spent the last 3 weeks in Nebraska. It has been a great time for Paige and I both. Paige has thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of her cousins! I have loved the extra time with my sister and her family as well as my brother and his. Alot of changes are in store for us this fall, so we may not get to see them until next spring.
While we were here, we had lots of days just hanging around the house and playing. We also went to the zoo! It was a great time!



Tomorrow, I am on my way to Denver! I look forward to the time with Jason's sister and her family! We will only be there for a day and Andrea, Dylan, Paige and I will be hitting the road to AZ! I am very anxious to get home and be in my own house. We will only be there for 6 days and we will be on a plane again to go see Jason! We are so excited!
Jason is doing well at Basic Training. We are finally down to the last 10 days! I am very anxious to see him! 10 weeks is a long time to be away from your best friend! We only get 2 days with him when we go, but we are planning to make at least 2 trips to Oklahoma to visit him.
We are so thankful for all of the support we have recieved. We thank you all for your love and your prayers! God has been so amazing!
