Everything is Falling into Place

For once everything seems to be falling into place perfectly.  Stephens name has finally appeared on the "A" school list, which is the list for Rescue Swimming School (AST).  He is number 108 out of 123.  It may seem like a long time before he is even going to be going to the school but it has given us a great estimate on when.  He should start airman training in April and then probably AST in August. 

With is name on the "A" school list we have finally been able to pick a wedding date!!!! April 9th, 2011! We have found our venue and things are going pretty smooth right now!  Along with our wedding I only have 15 more credit hours until I can graduate!!

One more thing of good news, because Stephen is currently stationed in Chattanooga I have been able to see him almost every weekend!  He leave Thursday's after work (if they don't have work on Friday's) and then he leaves late Sunday night!  It is such an amazing feeling to be back with him even if it is for a short time.

Let's hope everything stays good!

Catch Up

On June 4, 2010 I married my Guardian.  My Guardian being Stephen George who graduated from The United States Coast Guard on April 9, 2010.  W married in a small ceremony at the Jonesborough Courthouse, and our ceremony will be in May 2011 after I graduate from ETSU.

Its not easy being a military wife.  Everyday is hard.  Stephen and I are currently separated because I am finishing up my last year of college and Stephen is stationed out of Portsmouth, VA, which is seven hours away.  Another crew has taken over his Cutter the USCGC Forward so he is stationed in Chattanooga on a  River Boat Tender.  He will only be three hours away until November 14.

Even with him being three hours away, we still don't get to see each other as much as we like.  I will probably get to see him for about three days during ETSU's fall break.

On July 23rd Stephen started his first 58 day deployment.  He returned on September 18th.  The only form of communication we had was email.  It's harder than you think.  All that you want is to be able to pick up the phone and be able to hear each others voice.
