Today is the Day

Today is the Day!!!

After helping with some last minute things around the house, I went to the Recruiter's office this afternoon and started the shipping process. They went over some final paperwork, answered my questions, wished me luck, and sent me on my way. After leaving their office I stopped at the Holiday Inn (where I'll be staying tonight so that they know where I am at all times) and check into my room. Tomorrow I'll go to MEPS in the morning and in the afternoon board a plane headed for Chicago. After checking into my hotel room, I was able to leave and go back home to finish some things. I had to pack a box for my parents to send me once I get to A School in San Antonio. I also cleaned up all my stuff, got my things in order and went over all my bills and blog instructions with my sister Dede. Dede will be the one updating my blog while I'm at boot camp. We made it a low key evening. We ordered pizza and I tried to relax the best I can.

Saying goodbyes is always the hardest part! DARN YOU LEAKY EYES!!! I was able to visit with my wonderful grandmother today, go out to lunch with my brother Mike, and spend my last few hours as a civilian with my brother John and Sister Dede.... and of course my awesome parents! I've got my stuff all ready, and I just wanted to post a last minute blog update. The next one probably wont come for two to three weeks.

My poor doggie doesn't know what's coming. I haven't been away from him for more than a week since I got him 7 years ago. I think I'll miss him the most. So if you see him, give him a big hug and kiss for me and tell him daddy will be home soon :)

I want to say thank you to my best friend in the world Howie! You made my day with your top ten reasons you don't want me to leave. :)

I'll miss you all while I'm gone, but I'll be back soon enough. Talk to you all later.
