BJ has been gone for almost a week and I am already going crazy. I'm so bored. I have cleaned house a lot, helped take down Christmas decorations, cleaned out my room and closet to make myself a little sewing space. Now what. Time is crawling by. I do have to say I'm glad they get to have their phones so I can at least talk to him and know whats going on. The rumor is that they are going to be classed today which means AIT officially starts. Then I can officially start my count down. Billy however mentioned last night that he doesn't think its gonna happen today because a few guys still have to finish processing. I'm OK with that as long as they get classed this week. We will hopefully have orders in about 4 weeks telling us where we will be moving and I pray it doesn't say the words KOREA. I'm sure its a beautiful country, but with Kim Jong Crazy dieing and his young son taking over who knows whats gonna happen. Plus I hear its really hard to get command sponsorship to take your family with you. Honestly I'd love to stay on the east coast, just because that is where all our family is, but I know its not our choice. I also wouldn't mind Germany mostly because its only a 6 hour drive to Paris and I have already made a friend that seems to want to go to France as much as I do. The army doesn't joke about the Motto Hurry up and Wait! That one is going to be hard to get used to!

Wordless Wednesday! Pictures of BCT Graduation
AIT, BAH, BCT, MWR, I can't keep them straight.
Being a new army wife I am quickly learning the various acronyms of the army. No body speaks English they speak army. Although I think I am doing pretty good I'm still finding myself googling various acronyms. You be amazed at the things I've learned. I can almost do a full sentence in acronyms and the phonetic alphabet. Thanks to one of my favorite facebook pages I have been working on my phonetic alphabet at least once a week. Billy left for AIT or advance individual training on Tuesday. It did not start out well. We of course procrastinated on getting the POA or Power of attorney before he left and found ourselves scrambling to do it only hours before we left. We stopped on the way to the airport at wells Fargo waited 10 min for them to open only to be told that "Wells Fargo doesn't do notarizing for POA's" really WTH! OK well lets just wait and do it in March when I bring the kids up to Virginia for Max's first birthday. Then we get to the airport and guess what there is two notaries at the airport. So we stand in line at the first one and guess what the lady that does the notary is not there. So they point us in the direction of the 2nd one and she is there, but we only have 1 witness signature and in Georgia you have to have two. I was so beyond mad by then I just said screw it. Hopefully nothing comes up. We said our goodbye. I began to cry and that was BJ's Que to leave as fast as possible. If figures if he can't see it it didn't happen lol. Once he was gone I got the kids in the car and we made our trek home. As sad as I was to see him go I am glad he is gone. That means this new part of our life is starting. He will finish up his training and we will be together again at least until the army wants him for something else. :)
