In 58 days, my husband leaves for basic training. I love him, and I am beyond proud of him... But I am scared. I have never lived alone. I haven't spent a single day apart from him since we got together. It is going to be extremely difficult...... But, 8 and a half weeks later, I get to fly to Texas and see him graduate from basic training. Seeing him after being apart for so long is going to be indescribable. I will be able to wrap my arms around him and smell him and look him in the eyes. It is going to make every second I spent away from him, totally worth it.
After 2-3 days though, I have to say goodbye to him again. But, for longer this time. He will go to school for anywhere between 40 to 100 days (not including weekends and holidays). For school though, he is able to have his phone, so I will be able to hear his voice every day.
When he comes home from school, we will start our long process of moving to wherever he will be stationed. We won't know where that's going to be though until he starts school. We will be in Indiana for a week before we have to say, "see you later," to our friends and family. It's going to be so bittersweet.
This is where our life as an Airman and his wife begins.
Will we have kids once we move? We hope so.
Will we love where we are stationed? We hope so.
Are we scared? I know I am....
BUT, we are going to be okay. We can do this. Our life together is going to be a fun journey and I literally cannot wait.
Here we go into the wild blue yonder.... See what I did there? ;)
