1 Year Down

The 27th marked our 1 yr anniversary! it was hard spending it alone, but i was super excited because he got to call me! :) it definently made my day. and earlier this week i woke up to a wonderful anniversary gift from him, with a little help from jessie. he wrote her a letter a few weeks ago asking her to do this. i got a dozen red roses and chocolate covered strawberries! i woke up and they were on the table with a little note from him :) i was soooo excited! he planned it out ahead of time all on his own! he also sent me a special letter this last week for it too :) so all in all, it was a good anniversary :)

its been a rough week since i haven't been able to mail him letters :(. but i got three from him wednesday, and in it he told me that he gets to spend thursday night with me before i drive him to AIT on friday! i am SUPER excited! i'm still hoping he gets a weekend pass at AIT once he checks in, but he said he will not know until that day. so i must be patient, try to estimate costs, and wait and see what happens. we are down to exactly a week until i fly to SC! i started packing today, and i've been working on a list of any last minute things i will need to buy to be ready. i have pretty much everything i need, there's just a few lingering things that i have procrastinated getting.  but i will DEFINENTY be ready!

This week is my last week of work. i work tomorrow and friday and that is it! i admit i will miss my employee discount though lol. i still have a bunch of little baby things to get, and i KNOW the cost are going to add up! but i will just not complain, and buy the things i need like every other normal new parent. I had to call out sick from work yesterday because of not feeling so swell. i somehow managed to have a hypoglycemic "episode" as the nurse called it lol. i nearly passed out, and couldn't even walk! i fell over and hit the wall. i did NOT feel good! i couldn't stand for more than like a minute either. i tried getting some food into me, but it didn't solve the problem. it took all day to get back to normal. and by all  day i mean til this morning. i was laying in bed pretty much all day yesterday, and eating, and drinking water. it just took me a while to recover. it definitely scared me though. and last week i had Bronchitis, so i've just been having quite an interesting time these last few weeks! i am determined to be in perfect health for my trip to see Caleb!

This week Caleb's Company is doing their last major event, called Victory Forge! It is a 4 day over-nighter, where they take pretty much all the skills they've learned and use them to accomplish all these different things. He was pretty excited about it in his letter :) i hope its really fun for him! i did read on facebook though that the weather there is pretty nasty right now and all the SIT's are probably completely miserable :(. i'm hoping its not too tough on them, and that they don't get sick. they're almost done!!! just one more week! and Caleb said after this, they pretty much don't do anything, so i guess they really only have 2 more days lol. i'm very excited for Caleb :) i can't wait to see him!!!!
