Sorry forgot to update you guys there just been one crazy week, and we still got 2 more days of it. She's doing good just waiting for her to recive her orders for A school. She should of had them today but her medical records didn't get moved to transfer when she passed battlestations Tuesday morning. But she is a sailor now Would love to post a pic but haven't figure it out yet. I talk to her when she is on liberty and I try to talk to her before she goes to bed, hard there is no service in the barracks (she's still in Great Lakes not RTC but on the base base.) they are taking a trip into Chicago tomorrow which she's always wanted to see, I'm happy for her wish I could be there for her but you know duty calls. We had a very long talk on Tuesday and last night. We are still going strong, we never felt so close to each other. So far she's ready been ready to get the hell out of there and move on to School than to power school. Can't wait. Been trying to pick the right days I wanna go visit her, sound some cheap 5 day flight tickets, give me enough time to spend with her durning the night and the weekend and fly home on a Tuesday looking forward to that.

I can't wait for that day, for her to leave for a school, we facetime the other day on the phone and meet one of the other girl I believe Is a nuke and she knew who I was and I though oh boy she doesnt shut up about me. It's ok I tell everyone I work with about her too. I just can't wait to see what the future has in store. Just was a little inpatient this last weeks, and just kept fearing the worse, but I saw her in her NWUs and in her dress whites and in her peaut butter uniform (that's what she called it) I just couldn't be anymore proud about her. She thanks me everyday for everything I've ever done, and in her letters she said some of her shipmates wish they had someone like me to spoil them even though they are thousands of miles away in boot camp (that was when she was on boot camp). I'm just excited to get the next phase over with. We grew closer and stronger being apart. She said "If being apart brought us together then we're unstoppable " and she said "I feel like these last 2 months has brought us together". I think she said it in a letter too, but it was something I would say to advice to people but hearin it come from her just blew me away. I'm lucky to have her in my life. I wanna get married and go with her to her first duty station I'm young too, and ready for the next adventure. Been saying prayers no east coast or Tokyo. I thank you guys for all the support, I don't know how I would of gotten through this.
