Speaking of Ross, he left almost 3 weeks ago now. 1 week of in-processing (paperwork and such) and almost 2 weeks of basic.
At first the alone time was kinda nice, but I'm already getting sick of it. I miss him very much. I have to say that he did so much at home. Let me paint a picture for you.... I will go days without unloading and reloading the dishwasher and I have to do 4 loads of laundry tonight. FOUR. Not that he did everything but I just didn't have to do as much. I miss being able to call him whenever I want to too.
But all in all it's been a great experience and operation Cathy will not be a chubby wife yada yada yada is going great. I've already lost 6 lbs since he's been gone. It might be because I don't have to buy enough food for a baseball team now.
Update on how he's doing - I got a letter a few days ago and he's doing awesome! He was already told by a Drill Sergeant that he's one of their favorites (right before telling a bunch of other soldiers that they need to be more like him :) and he's carrying the flag while they march - which is supposed to be a really big deal. Like pretty sure picked out of 200 guys big deal. He's really busy and says he's sweating like crazy with his uniform on all the time, but other then missing Medved and I (not as much Medved :) he's having an okay time.
What's really cool is each company has a facebook page and they update it with pictures from time to time. (not the soldiers, obviously) Here's a few pictures that Ross was in from their first week there:
Here he is about to shimmer down a wall. I don't know the actual word for it. Yes, he has no hair and more importantly no side burns - weird.
I'm pretty sure the 2nd one in is him and if not, I apologize to who ever's boyfriend or husband this is because I've been starring at their butt all day.
And here he is in formation. The forth one from the back or the tallest one in the picture.
I'm so proud of him. :)
I should have some cool stuff to start blogging about soon. Specifically a recent trip I just made to the new HomeGoods we got in my town :)
How's everything where you are? Stare at some guy thinking he was your husband? (99% sure it's him though) Buy anything cool from HomeGoods? Tell me....
