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.
