Awww =)

Can you saw awww? I sent this to Tim today. I think he'll love it.

He got this picture too.

Good Day

I finally got to talk to Tim tonight. It's been a long two weeks without hearing his voice. To make it even better...the phone call was supposed to be 10 minutes, but they ended up letting them have their phones for almost an hour!! Super excited about that. He sounds really good and is doing great. I'm sooo ready to see him. We're halfway there....5 more weeks to go! :)

On a completely different subject...I found Riley's Halloween costume today at Target. Tim laughed when I told him that she was going to be a bee...but said he didn't care! :) She's gonna be so cute.

Donations Appreciated

Ok, so my laptop is great....as a paperweight or for target practice. That's about it though. I really, really want to drop it off a really tall building. I don't want anything fancy...just something that works more than 12% of the time would be nice.

So, I am now collecting money for the "Amy Needs a Laptop" fund.  Any donations would be greatly appreciated. I accept cash, check, and credit donations.

My handsome hubby

I got to talk to Tim for 30 minutes tonight AND he sent me a picture from his phone.

My handsome soldier. ;)

I got a letter, I got a letter, I got a letter, hey hey hey!

I FINALLY got another letter! Tim said that they have been super busy & haven't had ANY free time. Silly army & all their rules. BUT, he did sneak in a few minutes to write me! Yay! I also booked hotel rooms today for his graduation. Super excited. Not really looking forward to the 10 1/2 hour drive there, but it will totally be worth it.


7 more weeks....think it's too early to start packing my bags?

Wahooo!

I finally got Tim's address. It took 3 weeks, but I finally have it. I just went to the post office & dropped off about 8 envelopes with tons of letters, a book of stamps, and address labels. I know he'll be excited to get them. I've gotten a couple letters from him, but he has not gotten anything! I hope he gets them soon! 54 days & counting until I get to see him.

I also found out that I get to drive him to his next duty station. I'm so excited for 2 reasons.

1. Most importantly, I get to spend more time with him.
2. I get to see the base that we'll be living at for the next year and half to 2 years. I can see what the area looks like and what is nearby.

Hopefully I'll get to make a trip to see him while he's at WOCS too. We'll see.

Life as an Army Wife

It's official...I'm an army wife. Tim left about 2 weeks ago for Fort Benning, GA for training. He'll be there until the first week in November. I'll be flying and/or driving to his graduation! Yay!! Can't wait to see him. I can't imagine what he looks like with a shaved head! However, the excitement will be short lived as he will be leaving 2 days later for 6 more weeks of training in Alabama. I won't be able to move with him yet because we won't have time to find a house before his training starts. Boo. Around the first of the year though we will finally get to live together again like a real married couple. We'll be in the same time zone, state, house, and everything! He'll be starting flight school soon after that, so he'll be super busy flying and studying.

In the past two weeks, I've gotten 2 phone calls that were about 5 minutes long and a couple of letters! Letters & phone calls are very exciting and a very big deal. He was in reception for a while so I don't have an address for him, but hopefully I will get it on Sunday (if they get to call) so I can start sending him some of the letters that I've already written him.

61 days and counting....
