Craziness

So obviously since I last wrote we got to go to Blake's graduation and it was amazing. Navy graduations are one of the coolest things to see and I even think they are better then most High/ College graduations. Anyways, even though the ceremony was really cool to watch it is was almost unbearable how long we had to wait for it to be all over. Don't get me wrong it was definitely a amazing experience but I couldn't get to Blake fast enough. Keira fell asleep during some of the graduation but I couldn't blame her because we were at the gates at 5am(first in line) and then waiting till 9 for the graduation to start. That is a lot to ask of a 4 year old. She was definitely trying my patience but that is because I only had one thing on my mind. Get to Blake. When everything was all over we got to go on the hard deck and hug our sailors. It took Blake 5 mins to get to us because he had to turn in some stuff. Those 5 mins were just a ball of nerves running through out my body. I cant wait until Ryan makes me a copy of the moment because I want to see everything all over again. The weekend was amazing but definitely way to short. I hated saying goodbye to him again. It was a little bit easier since he had his phone but still hard all the same. We had basically come to the decision that if the Navy was paying then we were moving. So two days after getting home Blake called and said they would pay to move us and our decision was made. Now it has all been about getting the movers scheduled, getting the new place, making our to do lists, and planning the big car trip to Great Lakes. I can't believe it is all going to happen within a few weeks. I'm going to miss San Diego so much but obviously I miss Blake much more. Our first plan was for me to stay out here but when we were together for that weekend we knew we didn't want to go 8 months without being together if we didn't have to. He has schooling for two years so that is good on the "no deployment" for two years. We are guaranteed to be in Great Lakes till October and then from there he starts C school so we don't know where they will send him. They might just keep him there. Who knows??

Getting Excited!!

So we are 4 days away and I can already feel the butterflies in my stomach. It is like our first date all over again. I know this feeling is going to grow and grow as we approach the actual day. I'm starting my packing today and I hope that I remember everything. It is going to be really cold out there in Great Lakes, so lots of layering is required. Tomorrow Blake is doing battlestations. And by tomorrow I mean 12:01 am his time. I'm praying for him and wishing him all the luck in the world. I know he is going to do amazing. Can't wait for that phone call form him on late Monday night or sometime Tuesday saying he did it. I get chills up my arm just thinking about it. Right now it is very awkward for me not be writing him letters anymore. Our daily routine revolved around when I could get to the mailbox to mail his letter and when I could write him before going to bed. Without that I feel like something is missing. In a weird way those letters were like having a little conversation with him everyday. Even though he didn't respond back for weeks at times. It is weird to not have anything really making me feel somewhat close to him right now. I just have to tell myself the amount of days we have until we are together and read all of his amazing letters that he has sent to me over these past few weeks. Saturday I got a letter from him because he knew I would go crazy without writing him or hearing from him this last week. He is so amazingly sweet. I don't know how he managed it but he did. So everyone pray that Blake does well in his last and final test of bootcamp. It is going to be one long ass day for him.
