Well… that puts a damper on things…

So surgery went well! I am currently sitting at home whole Cole is sitting in a hotel in Sacramento waiting to be sworn in tomorrow. He took his actual ASVAB test about 4 hours ago and scored a 77! Fantastic score! The recruiters said that people always end up scoring better on the actual test than on the practice test, I guess they weren’t kidding. I’m pretty excited for him, actually super excited. I got the day off of work tomorrow so I can go and video him taking the oath.

So, what’s the bad part? My elbow is healed. Right?! Well, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, but regardless of what he says, the Army makes me wait 90-days after surgery to be able to go to MEPS and continue on with boot camp.

WHY DID I HAVE TO GET SURGERY?!

I hate myself right now for that, but… things happen for a reason and I just have to keep telling myself that. I tried to convince Cole that I should get a dog and not go to boot camp… he didn’t go for it. He wants me to go to boot camp too, he knows it’s what I want and he knows that’s what is best for the both of us. I agree, it’s just going to be hard to be away from him for so long.

He will be shipping out May 31st and the soonest I can go to MEPS is May 2nd. There is a VERY small chance that I could be shipped out the same time, but odds are slim…

So, the next step after he takes the oath tomorrow night? Hmm.. well marriage is still in the picture, but I should probably keep my mouth shut. ;)

So, I guess my next step is a MASSIVE garage sale!
