Last day of school!

This is Brandon leaving for school on his last day!

I can't believe Recruiting School is over. Tomorrow is graduation and I am so happy. I have been to the Marine Corps Balls and change of command ceremonies but never a promotion or graduation specifically for MY Marine, so I am really excited.

I created this blog to prove the recruiting duty (RD) does not have to be hell on earth.  I have heard nothing but negative things from other wives about RD. And I am determined to not be that wife. I am determined to not let RD get to me and ruin my life for 3 years. I am not wasting 3 years being angry and mad that my husband is never around and that I am 3,000 miles from home.
Well, this is the goal. 

But I am already hitting a roadblock. I had no idea how moving goes in the Marine Corps. None. I knew people come and pack up your stuff into a huge truck and then they drive it to your new house. I never realized all the logistics that goes into it until it happened to me. Our requested move date is September 4th and we still have NO word as to when we will be moving. It's so frustrating. I can't plan anything without knowing the date we are moving. I just can't believe it's like this. I am just crossing my fingers that tomorrow we hear something, or else I am going to really embarrass Brandon and storm the TMO office at MCRD. 

Besides being frustrated about having no move date, I am also getting really depressed about leaving my friends and family.

I was talking to my dad today on the phone while I waited for a prescription to be filled. He started to say how much he was going to miss me. And I just had to say, "Dad, don't make me cry in Rite-Aid!"

I am starting to tear up during sad songs on the radio or when Lindsey (my best friend) texts me "Don't move. I need you." 

I am really dreading the day I say good bye to my friends and family.
I definitely will not be able to take the first driving shift, that's for sure.
