Yes, I realize that I have not posted in a while, just sooo much going on.
Update on my soldier. His ACL in not torn! Yay!!! BUT his meniscus is torn and he has bone brusing....so, now we wait until he talks to the surgeon on the 18th-ish. I don't think he will need surgery but it is always a possibility I guess. So, we basically don't have a clue when he will be home...yet. The other day Chandler and I got to talk on the phone for 30 minutes!! Waa Hoo, I couldn't believe it! Usually our conversations are only 2 1/2 minutes, that's hardly enough time to say Hello, how are you, I love you, goodbye. Last wednesday we talked and he said he was excited for the weekend because he was going to have a 4-day weekend and the drill sargent said they all were going to the movies ("an actual movie theater") and they would get pizza too, lol the things that get you excited when you don't get to do ANYTHING! However, yesterday we got to talk for a minute and he said that the drill sargent had changed his mind and only a couple guys got to go to the movies and Chandler had to help with the pizza so by the time he got to eat it was cold and not that great. It was sad. The rise of hopes and the smashing of them happens a lot at BCT. I have not talked to him yet today, but I am still hoping I will be able to. Today the missionaries on the base took a picture of Chandler and some other soldiers and emailed it to me. I am sorry but I laughed, he warned me about his glasses (they call them birth control glasses LOL) I couldnt imagine him without hair and now I know why, He looks totally different!
If you can't recognize him, he is the one on the far right. I told him to take a poicture without the glasses too, he looks so different with them on, it kills me! I don't know the names of the guys with him, but I know they have become friends. When Chandler first got to the base he was the only one going to church out of his platoon, since then he has gotten several guys to go to church with him and one of them is thinking about getting baptized. I am so proud of him.As for Aubri and I, we have just been doing the same ol' same ol'. I work and she grows. I just bought her forward facing car seat and she LOVES it!! I knew she would. She loves to look out the windows and when she sees me in the rear-view mirror she laughs and laughs. I am so happy I got it. I have been scrapbooking my brains out! I love it so much! I just feel so good when a page is done and it looks sooooo cute! lol, is that weird? I also have been working on stuff for the 65th, and am having a blast. My mom is soooooooooo excited to be going to Hawaii on the 11th (yes, she is flying on 9-11) She will be there for a week and I am totally jealous! If Chandler were here we would be going....
I better go clean my house!
