Somewhere over the Rainbow

it's mothers day morning, i'm sitting up in bed at my grandpa's house. and my amazing husband has fallen back asleep about 6 inches away. can i just say how innocent a 23 year old man looks when he's asleep. in about 10 ours he has to report back to base. this weekend is bittersweet. it's his last week of training which is AWESOME. cause now he'll be a fleet Marine, not a student. and on Tuesday he'll graduate from SOI-ITB (school of Infantry, Infantry Training Battalion) and as if i couldn't be any prouder of him. he worked so hard these past two months he's graduating as a Lance Corporal. he's being promoted again. this promotion comes because he's graduating the Honor Grad for his Detail. not only did he have the highest GPA, but he's displayed all the perfect qualities of a Marine. so i'm sooo excited about that.

the sad part of the weekend is this. last night as i was falling asleep in his arms, it hit us. last night was the last night we'll spend together in a while. this time there is no clear finish line for our seperation. on Tuesday after his graduation, i'll take him to the airport and he'll fly over to Hawaii to meet his Unit. and i'll have to stay state-side until there is housing available. hopefully that won't be TOO long.... but i am determined not to stay away for too long. if i find out the wait will be a long time. i'm going over there. i'm going to look into temperary housing on base, and figure something out. because i think i deserve to be with my husband.

anyway, found out more about Hawaii, and can i just say i'm pretty excited. i'll be more excited when i can actually go over and BE with him. but i'm still pretty excited. this is going to be such an adventure, and i am ready to take it on! i'll do so with a positive attitude, until then, i'll get things done around here that need to be done.

Next weekend i'm going back up to utah county. i'm going to stay with Jenny (my adopted little sister-in law) :) i'll hang out with Lauren and everyone else, and just wait until i can be with him.

p.s. i don't think learning how to surf was a good idea, seeing as i refuse to surf in Kaneohe.....

i was googling something about surfing where we're going to be stationed... and this picture was the FIRST result.... umm no thank you, i'll keep both my feet. i'm quite fond of them :)
