Life With My Soldier

Gettin' Fit Friday is upon us again. I'm growing a little bored with my workout routine. I'm looking to by an ab lounger. I've wanted one for a while now, but I just haven't got one yet. I think I need to change things up a bit, so I don't burn myself out.

Eric went to his new unit on Tuesday. It was weird to see him wearing a new patch. It's about half the size of his old one, it looks so odd. He said that it's going well. He doesn't like the fact that he had to leave the Cav unit, but he said it's not as bad as he thought it would be. He's supposed to get a four day weekend next weekend. I really want to go home and see family. It seems like it's been forever since we were down there. The only problem is that the new unit he's in does a lot of details, so he could end up stuck doing one of them. I guess there's a funeral detail during the four day that they still have assigned people to, so hopefully he's not choosen for that.

We have about 5 more months here, and then we'll be going back to OK. I can't wait for that time to come, but I've decided it's not as bad here as I thought it was for the first year we were here. It's not getting to me being away from family as much as it did before, which is a huge step for me. Eric submitted his green-to-gold active duty packet, and the board is in May. We'll know around June if he was accepted. If he is that would be great, he would stay on active duty, but he would be going to school as his job. If he doesn't get accepted for that, though, he's still already accepted to the ROTC down there, so we're going either way. Just the last option is that we will be more strained on money then the first option. I'm praying that he gets choosen for the active duty option though, he's really excited about it.
