Navy life???

I wrote this post about a month or so ago! Hope you enjoy....

So back in Septemberish time Brian approached me telling me he really wanted to go into the Navy. My thoughts were maybe this won't be so bad... I mean I will get to go home to Idaho when he is in boot camp and it will all be fine! Well we filled out all the required paperwork and then we just sat and waited. He would go check in at the recruiters office once a week. We hadn't gotten any hope that anything was happening. (He had some complications due to some stuff that happened in his history) Anyway, I had pretty much thought well this isn't going to happen so I am going to move on and we got an apartment, I got a new job, and everything was going great. 

A couple of weeks ago the recruiter called and had him fill out some statements and fill out more paperwork (I swear there is so much paperwork)! Well yesterday the recruiter tells him that he may have to go to Sacramento tomorrow overnight. I have to fill this paperwork out (see always paperwork) and take it to the recruiter in the morning and I should know then.Well this is me totally surprised because honestly I didn't think it was happening. I wanted it to happen for him because he really wants it but it had just been so long...

So I HATE staying away from him at night. I don't like being home alone so I was not very happy at all. (While I am writing this I am feeling very negative but I promise it gets better) So we spent last night together and had fun and we packed his stuff just in case. He went this morning to the recruiter before work to drop off the paperwork and I get a text at 8:07am that says "as of tomorrow I will be in the navy." My heart dropped. Because if you know me and Brian you know we have been apart for like 8 days total our whole relationship. We are super close and do everything together because he is not only my boyfriend he is my best friend, and now he is going to boot camp soon where we have to be apart for 8 weeks. Where we can't talk, text, email, skype, or anything. So I was sitting at work trying not to lose it and call him. The only information I have is that he will be doing more paperwork and then going to Sacramento to do some stuff down there and he will be back tomorrow afternoon.

So I guess everything is still really up in the air and I don't know exactly what is going to happen next but I have super mixed feelings about the whole situation. I am so so proud of Brian he has worked really hard and this is what he wants. It is going to be so good for both of us in the long run. I can go back to school and do hair on the base and he can do what he really wants to do. It is the best thing for us. With that said it is really out of my comfort zone. I don't like the unknown or change. It is really scary. So I call my mom and she reminds me that God has a plan and he wouldn't let us go thru something that didn't have a purpose for our life. So I am proud to say that we will be entering the Navy! I better buck up soon! So I guess this blog has a new purpose. I will be writing all thru us being seperated and his graduation and where we will be stationed. This is our new adventure. Who knows what it has in store but I am so excited to be going on it with my amazing man! He is so strong and awesome and I couldn't be happier. Ready or not here we go.....
