And so the Adventure Begins..

Well to start this is my first bloggity-boo about my life, my family, and the adventures of the military life.

About an hour ago I recieved a phone call from Vinson from San Antonio Texas. He was about to get on the bus that will take him to Lackland Air Force base where he will begin his two month long training. I feel like an ass because the last two times I have spoken to him over the phone, I didn't know what to say. I felt nervous really. Basically I just told him good luck and I will see him soon...heh

A lot of people have been asking me "are you OK?" "if there is anything you need, I'm a phone call away". I am so happy to have such good friends and family who are concerned for me but to my surprise I am doing pretty well. I haven't cried. If anything, It feels a little different to me. I always expect a phone call or a message from Vinson but when I look at my phone..there is nothing. No missed calls, no text messages. Sounds cheesy but that is the first sign to me that it is real. \

I think bootcamp will be ok for me; however, tech school is what I am most worried about. Tech school can possible take up to 4-6 months...maybe even long depending on his job. We don't know what his job will be because he signed his contract as "guaranteed apptitude area" which basically means he doesn't have a "set" job but he is guaranteed to get a job in electronics.

Tech school is said to be a strict version of college and like college, airmen are allowed to go out and I am afraid his single friends will encourage him to go out drinking, club hopping, and etc. I know that is not his style AT ALL but in my opinion, guys are greatly influenced by who the hang out with. I just hope that he finds himself some friends who are also married and can relate to the level of commitment a married involves.

Well this is day 1 of this new life for us. I hope and prey (even though I am not religious) that he does will. I have high hopes that he will. His heart is in it and that will help him succeed.
