Hubby left for Air Force Basic Training week 1

Hello everyone! as i mentioned in previous post my husband joined the Air Force. My husband was suppose to leave January 7th but in NYC their was a arctic Freeze and flights were getting canceled all day when it was his turn to board the plane was delayed for three hours. He must have been in the airport for five hours, i could only imagine how tiring that is. He however did not get to fly that night because it was way to late and he would have arrived at San Antonio about 1 am so his group canceled their flights and couldn't get shipped out till the 9th so its been about 2 weeks since i last seen him which sucks. We have a 22 month old daughter so it was even harder on us, i cried the first two days lol. My daughter asks for him every now and then, shes still too small to understand. I have pictures of all three of us all over so she won't forget what he looks like (even though i doubt that would happen). Since he's been gone i got to speak to three times, the first day he got there, that Sunday which is when i received his address and just recently but only because there was a Bat accident on base so they allowed everyone to call their love ones to reassure everyone that they are okay. It definitely gets harder each day but i keep myself busy so the time flies by. I wrote to him the second i received his address and thought it would be so cute for me and my daughter to kiss the paper so he could have a little piece of home :)

Ready or Not, The Day Will Come.

Hello everyone! I need to get this off my chest already, ever since my soon to be husband told me that he is going to join the Air Force as well as how long he would have to be away I've been doing a lot of research. The process of moving, housing and etc. seems so stressful, its stressful just to think about it! I am little scared of moving away from home but I also really love traveling so i am excited as well. i don't know if it's just me but i love watching homecomings on TV and YouTube, it also makes me really sad knowing that day will come for me. My daughter and i are so used to always having him with us so BMT will be the hardest thing for us since we have a child, having no contact for weeks is really going to suck but we have a strong support system and I'm sure we will get through it. In the mean time I will be going back to college in September majoring in Physical Education and coaching, i can not wait to go back to school surprisingly but it will definitely keep me occupied and so will my one year old lol. I would love to hear how other Military wives dealt with this first separation and their moving process.

Baby. Engaged. Air Force

Lets go back in time a little. In 2009 i started dating this amazing guy that i knew my whole life, my mother and his aunt were best friends so my siblings and i were always at their family parties, i don't remember ever really speaking to him at all i just knew who he was. One day i received a friend request on Myspace (back when Myspace was popular). So i accepted his request and long story short we started dating a year later. Three and a half years later we found out i was pregnant! Definitely wasn't  planned, we were careless young adults (20 years old) who swore it wouldn't happen to us. Anyways 9 months later our daughter Kaylie Marie was born. We both were determined to finish college, he wanted to become a New York Police Officer and i wanted to be a Physical education teacher.

    Now lets fast forward a little till few weeks ago. Jason and i are now engaged, He will be joining the AIR FORCE :) scary right? When he first told me he wanted to join i wanted to cry lol. After a lot of researching and making sure this is really want he wants i was okay with it. Don't get me wrong I'm  still scared! Ive heard stories and have had family in the military who i barely got to see because of the traveling that comes along with being in the military but i also saw what a great life and experience they had. I love the idea of traveling but scared of how hard it will be on our daughter when she gets a little older. I am a HUGE family person so being away from my family will be a tough one but i think we will be fine. I hope i find wives who are in my situation or newbies in the Air Force who can fill me in on what to expect! Ahh so anxious and scared!


Oh and by the way I'm new to blogging if you couldn't tell lol ( please excuse my horrible grammar)
