Almost done!

Well, the month has gone by really fast. In the next week in a half, Jay will be home. I can't believe how fast it went by. He really hasn't said much about the training, but I think it has gone by without a hitch. The training factor of it will be over on Friday, which is exciting. He will probably call either Friday or Saturday and I'm very excited about it.

I'm going home next Thursday, so it will make the last couple days go by fast. I will be super busy the whole time that I'm home. It's very exciting to be going home. If Jay is home on Sunday, which will be the 30th day then he might be able to pick me up at the airport, which will be the best after not seeing him for 30 days. Gotta get everything in order this weekend in case he comes home earlier then expected. It could be any time from next Friday thru Sunday, so we shall see.

The wedding is fast approaching. I can't believe it's about a month away. The last 6 months have gone by really fast. We only have a couple of things left to do before the wedding. Jay has to pick out his wedding band (we already got mine) and pick a place to eat at after the ceremony. We aren't having a reception because of the destination. So, we are going to be eating somewhere with all the guest that are making the trip. When I booked our vacation, I added a heliocopter ride one of the nights. It is a ride over the city at night, which will be really fun. I'm looking forward to doing fun things that I have never done before. I think that once Jay comes home and gets a good night sleep he will be excited about it. He has sounded tired, so any wedding talk really isn't processing...haha. Well, that's the update from El Paso! Enjoy!

Twitter

So, I have been super bored since Jay left for NTC. I know it's only been a couple days and I have a month of this to go through, so I created a twitter site. I mean I had one before, but I really didn't know what it was all about. To me, it seems like something where you just post things. Kinda like facebook, but not as social networky as that. I figured it might give me something else to look at and read while I'm waiting for Jay to come home. It seems rather entertaining, but I'm not sure how long I will keep it. So, what does everyone else think about Twitter? Do any of you have it? I'm not really sure about it, and I really don't know how long it will take for me to get the hang of it. I uploaded to app on my phone, so I might use it more then I think.

On another note, Jay's mom sent me the wonderful wedding invitations in the mail last week. They are handmade by her and his sister and totally originally. They are amazing. Pink and black. Yes, I am surprised that Jay let me pick pink and black, but they are very classic and nice. Also, this week I booked the hotel and flights for the wedding week. I also, booked us on a helocopter flight over Vegas at night one of the days we are there. Super excited about it! Told Jay about it yesterday when he called. He sounded excited, but very tired. I'm sure once he gets back it will sink in and he will be more excited about it the closer it gets. We are getting close to finishing everything up for the wedding. Just have to talk to the venue again, in a couple weeks, and plan a place for the dinner afterwards. Jay said that he doesn't understand why people get so stressed out about wedding planning. I mean we planned ours in about 2 months time, but we really took the easy and less stressful way. It's going to a really fun time, and I can't wait!

NTC

Jay left for NTC on Friday. NTC is a training center that they go to so that they can train up before deployment. Its been a rough couple days for me. I know that this is important so that they are all safe and prepared for the things that they might experience when they go to Iraq, but it's still tough because we can't talk or see each other for 30 days. I'm trying to not count down because it doesn't help, but it's still a little tough to not look at things that way. I decided that I am going to make some photo collages to hang up on the wall going to our upstairs to surprise him when he gets back. We had talked about making them, but we never got around to it, so I thought the next 30 days would be the perfect time to work on them. I think that he is really going to enjoy them. I'm not going to be home, most likely, when he sees them because I am going to Ohio for a couple days toward the end of his training and won't be home when he gets here. So, he will get a little surprise, if he notices them, when he gets back. It will be something good for me to keep my mind on. I feel like if the first week goes by then I will be ok, but I will have home to look forward to and Jay coming home. I just gotta hang in there, and support what he is doing. I am with him because of who he is, not because of his job. I will support him in everything, so I just gotta hang in there!

Lily resting this morning. She wasn't yet in the mood to get up and start her day :)
