And so the process begins...

let me just say I'm updating this soley for Ashley Stockton.....

So Matt finally came home Friday night after being gone for 2 weeks...he had annual training down in Ft. Huachuca and I'm so happy he's finally home now.! It's so boring being by yourself for that long.! Poor guy was completely exhausted ...if he could, he would stay home and sleep for about a week straight....but we all know I'd be living on the streets if he were to do that.! =-)
On another note...we have some exciting/scary news...we have both decided it would be best for us if Matt goes active duty. Yes, this means we would have to move out of state. But the plus side to all of this is we would get free housing...free medical/dental insurance....and great pay. And we desperately need all of those things right now.! It's a bitter sweet feeling, but I think in the end it will all pay off...I HOPE. It's going to be difficult for me to adjust without my family but i have to make sacrifices for my family too...especially now that Reece is almost here....right?? Plus the recruiter Matt talked too said he should receive his E-5 a couple months after he joins active, which is good b/c this will give him a chance to move up in rank, which is what he wants. Just hope it all goes how we plan and his unit releases him without any problems...b/c the army does like to make your life harder than it needs to be sometimes. He turns in his paperwork tomorrow but who knows how long it's gonna take b/c once again...the army's motto is "HURRY UP AND WAIT". Cross your fingers for us.!
