Virginia 3 times in 6 weeks?

Yesterday was a good day for the Little family.  BJ has been working so hard to be the best soldier he can for the purpose of ranking up.  When he went into the Army he should have gone in at E3 or Private First Class (PFC), but the recuiter didn't do all the things he promised him he would (no suprise there) and he only when in at E2 or PV2.  His goal by the end of AIT was to move up to PFC. Well as of April 11th that goal was realized!  On top of the fact that he was for the second time assigned as squad leader this time recieving 5 promotion points because of it.  I can't tell you how proud of him we are.  He really is exceling! The other piece of good news is he has now phased up to 5+. This means he gets his weekend totally free. He can leave Friday night at 1800 and doesn't have to be back on post until Sunday at 2145.  Normally you have to be there 12 weeks before you can even try for phase 5+. One of his SRGT's was in his room the other night and was so impressed with his locker, bed, etc he told him he was going to allow him to try for it this week.  He's got guys coming to him for help getting squared away.  Is my bragging annoying yet?  :)  I'm over the moon proud of my husband.  He had a lot of people telling him he'd never do anything or be anything. Every step is just proving them wrong. So now the dilema.  BJ and I had decided the kids and I wouldn't come down to see him again until graduation, but when he got phase 5+ the first thing he said was are you going to come down this weekend.  I really really really want to, but it costs a small fortune and the kids and I are going to Florida next week so now we are talking tons of traveling and money spending that we really truely don't need to do.  How do you make the decision?  I'm trying to stick with not seeing him until graduation, but its so hard.  I know he would be so happy to see us, but then we use another 500 dollars in savings to do it.   I'm so back and forth about it. One minute I'm thinking lets just do it and figure everything out later and then I'm like no we need to save.  I don't know. I guess we'll see what happens
