Update

Sorry no pictures but here is an update on the craziness that we call life...After Ryans graduation we found out his tech school would be 4 months instead of the 2 we were originallly told. The plan was for me to come visit on weekends. Well after two weekend trips and spending over 500 bucks each trip we decided to take a leap of faith and have me move down. So I am now in Texas we found an apartment for 345 a month and my wonderful father in law drove down with me with a car full of stuff to be able to survive with. I am on week two and couldn't be happier anywhere but here. So your wondering what about school and work?? Well I called my boss who has always been so good to me told her my plans...she says...when do you want your last day to be? I'll take care of it...School? They are awesome too...I have about three weeks left and Ryan has SERE traing for three weeks in the wilderness that I cant be with him for so...I will be back in Utah finishing up during that. So now we get to see each other everyday and all weekend. So life is good. We still have no idea where we are getting stationed or even where the rest of Ryans tech school will be after our month here in Texas ends...but we are enjoying every miute of the madness, as long as we are together :) Cheesey I know but you would be too after two months with out your husband! Thanks EVERYONE for all the love and support!!

Graduation!!!

So Ryan graduated from Basic Training!!! After a horrid two months we made it!!! I am so proud of him and so begins military life!!! He graduated August 27th and is doing good with school thus far....Also..we have decided for me to move down to Texas with him its gonna be best for both of us and we think heck...why not!!! So here goes the next chapter of our lives...we will keep you all posted and ready or not here we go....I leave Thursday and who knows when I will be back...should be fun

YAY!!!!!!!

So 10 days til I get to see Ryan. He has been doing so good and I couldnt be prouder of my airman!!! He has one full week left. Next Wednesday the in laws and I fly to San Antonio. I am so stinking excited I can hardly handle it. It has been awful being apart, but I am lucky to have such a hard working hubby. I am also SO grateful for all of our WONDERFUL friends and family that watch out for me and keep Ryan in your thoughts and prayers. I cant even begin to list the times I have needed a phone call or text or something...and one of the amazing people in my life have been there. Or when I have needed to go do something bam someone is there. You all know who you are and I am so grateful. We will find out next month where we are gonna first be stationed...which is super super exciting...Stateside or Over Seas would be awesome...it will be sad because we really will miss so many many people but it will be such a good adventure for us. So thank you thank you thank you everyone for all you do!!! An congrats Julie and Dallas on an another ADORABLE baby!!! Brady John Dorton...such a cute cuddly baby...absolutely love him!!!More to come.....

1 Month Down!

Ryan has been gone one month today! Its crazy to think its already been that long...He is doing really good, I have gotten lots of letters and he has been able to call four times. The time has flown by and his graduation is the 27th of August! He hates being bald, and is staying under the radar which is a very good thing to do at basic. He is in charge of cleaning the latrine and his Training instructor likes him and knows who he is for the good he has been doing. School has been good and makes the days go by faster! We will find out in September where we will be stationed and things are moving right along!!!

I got emotional but just because I am so proud of him and miss him

I am so proud.....

Well tomorrow is officially one week since Ryan left for Basic, one week down seven to go!! I am SO grateful for all of my family and friends who love and support not only me but also Ryan. I am so proud of him and what he is not only doing for our country but also for us as a couple. Even though this sucks and I know it wont be easy it will make our lives so much easier and get him to where he wants to be career wise. The first few days were EXTREMELY hard, i know I'm a baby, but it has gotten easier. Then the highlight of my week was Friday when I got a phone call from him and we got to talk for a bit. Then today I got an e-mail from the missionary couple serving on base that got to brief him on being in the Military as a member of the church and I love the bald picture!!! So it does suck but with how busy I am it helps. I am pretty much busy from 7am to 9pm everyday so the days fly by. I am enjoying school and work and cant wait for this to be over! Keep Ryan in your prayers. Oh and I had a blast with my family for the fourth of July I have the cutest nieces and nephews in the world (on both my side and Ryan's) and love any chance to hang out with any of them!

Life has been busy...long post, lots of pictures

Well life has been all over the place the last few months. It feels like time has flown and I dont know where it has gone. We have gone to a ton of bees games and gone to the air show and gone to San Francisco, and tried to spend as much quality time as possible together. We have had a lot of fun but are now down to the business!! Ryan left today for Basic Training, he is officially an Airman in the Air Force. I am so proud of him but the next few months are gonna suck!!!!! I know he is gonna do an awesome job and I'm gonna keep as busy as possible. Luckily I have so many amazing family members and friends that I know are gonna be here for me in the hard times. I am going to school at the forum and getting my master esthetics. Also I am gonna be working and trying not to go nuts!! I am so grateful for Ryan and the sacrifice he is making not only for me but for our Country. Here's hoping the next few months fly by.
