Time to Catch up!

This is me playing catch up for a little while, there are things I haven't blogged about but wanted to do it now!   So on January 2, 2013, we sent Kenny off to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. That is where he will be for the next 4 months. It was so hard to see him leave but I have kept very busy so far. Right now I am working as a CNA/Med Tech, at Sterling Court Assisted living home. I love it! All of my residents are very sweet, they love hearing about our wedding plans! I am also attending Dixie state college as a full time student, right now I am taking the Advanced EMT course and I hope to be getting into the Paramedic program within the next year. And of course I am planning our wedding! So you see I don't have much time to miss Kenny but that's kind of unavoidable... I still miss him every single day! I received a letter from him on the 19th and I was sooo glad to finally hear from him! He sounds like he is doing very well, he says "A lot the guys here still try to do their own thing and it gets us smoked (push ups or whatever they want to do to put us in pain). For me, I actually don't mind it so far, I like how organized everything is, and the discipline they are putting us through." The first week he was there was just a lot of medical stuff, like eye checks, physicals, and shots... lots of shots... They told him to not bring anything, so when he got there he didn't have his immunization record so he ended up having to get 7 shots! Shots that he has already had but because they had no record of it they just did them all again... :( Poor Kenny's arms were so sore, but of course being Kenny he didn't complain a bit. He said the first week all they did was push ups and stand out in the cold... But now that he is done with all the medical stuff they get to do obstacle courses and probably more push ups. This week they are going through the gas chamber.. A room full of tear gas... I have no idea how he is doing all this! I would be such a wimp!!! 

On the way to the airport, his sister snapped this picture :) 

It is 5:30am so naturally we look FABULOUS! 

Last hugs before he gets on the plane :(
