Half Way Point!

I can't believe he is already at week FOUR of basic military training. One more month and I finally get to see the love of my life. I am so proud of myself for getting this far. What is even better is I got the opportunity to talk to him yesterday for 20mins! It was actually pretty funny because yesterday after work I made a bee-line to my room for a nap, leaving my cellphone in my purse. I didn't think he would call because I hadn't recieved a stinkin' letter for a week. Now I know not to leave my cellphone anywhere.

When he called I couldn't recognize him. Not only was I half asleep, he lost his voice. It took me two minutes to figure out it was him! This is the conversation:

Him: "Hello"
Me: "Hello.....?"
Him: "How are you?"
Me: "Good....?"
Him: "I miss you?...."
Me: "I miss you too...? This is when it finally "clicks" and I realize it is him
Me: "Oh! I miss you too!"

I felt so bad. But good news, he is doing great! He lost his voice because of all the yelling he has been doing. He is still hanging onto Element Leader. He said this week will be an eventful week. He will be getting his sexy dress blues, will get to play on the obstacle course, and have his time in the gas chamber. The unfortunate/fortunate news is he is currently "undeployable" because of his teeth. It is good because the AF won't deploy him until they are fixed but it is bad because he won't get orders to go overseas and we were really looking forward for Germany. But, what is also good is he is a "priority" and they will expedite him to get his teeth fixed. His teeth aren't in the best shape and they are his biggest insecurity.

So after I hung up the phone with him, I wrote him a long letter and finnnnally included some pictures. He has been pestering me about sending some pictures so hopefully the ones I sent him will make him happy. I included two pictures of me, one of us, and one of me and his "rat bastard" (our cat). I will have to go to the post office tomorrow and mail them out.

I still can't believe it has been more than four weeks ago when I dropped him off at his hotel. It is all downhill from here.
