Bad Day

Today was hard! Actually, this whole week was very hard. Sam is in Lackland and they got phased back to phase one and he is in lockdown. Thank God we didnt go through with my trip out there that i had planned, becuase i would be sitting in the hotel room not even able to see him! Sam has not been able to talk much because they have been busy cleaning their room, and taking down all the pictures they had on their walls, they were allowed in phase three, but not phase one. So all of the decorating they have done has to be put away since they have inspections tomorrow. He is also at a very tough point in schooling where he has to take and pass a lot of tests, if he fails any he said he will be help back. That is also very stressful for both of us because if he gets held back then his orders could change and therefore our location could change. I know a lot of that was unlikely, but it still makes me so nervous. Since Sam has been so busy it has been really hard for me. It feels like BMT all over again, and i do not want to relive that. It may even be harder because at BMT i knew that he was not allowed to call, not he is technically allowed to but just does not have the time. I try and be understanding but it is honestly just not fair! We are newlyweds, supposed to be happy and spending every second together, laughing and being in love. I suppose the Air Force has other plans. we are still happy and still in love, but have to be so far away and not see eachother at all! I guess i should not be complaining so much considering we are moving to Hawaii in april and will have a great time there, i just wish it would come sooner! I just miss him so much and dont know if i will ever get used to the distance. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

The Big Move

This move is honestly going to drive me crazy!! Sam is in tech school right now and we know we are going to Hickam AFB, Hawaii after he graduates. It feels like that is about all the information the air force will give us. They wont give Sam his official orders until march, and he graduates March 11th. We cannot do anything until we get his official orders, they have his official orders on file but will not give him a copy. They told him that they are trying not to stress him out in case he gets held back and his base gets changed then all of his plans he has already will be messed up. I understand that, but i feel that us not being to plan ANYTHING is also very stressful. We are worried about getting housing because we cannot get on the wait list for base housing until Sam is given a copy of his official orders. We cannot know how much money they will give us for a DITY move unless he as his official orders, which i think is the most annoying. We do not know if we are going to just go through the Air Force of attempt to do it ourselves and make a little money. I would really like to start the planning.

Besides that little bit of stress everything is going great! We are so excited about the move, i was very nervous at first but now I am completely ready. I am ready to go start my life with my husband in a paradise. I am ready to meet new people who are in the same situation as me. I am ready to be on our own and make all of our own decisions. I am ready and excited for everything. Don't get me wrong I am well aware that this will be very hard at times and a lot will happen that we can not plan for or predict, but it will all be worth it. To have a place to call home with Sam and make it ours, to be together again. This separation has not been easy on either of us and I know it is something we will face a lot with his career choice I am now hoping it will be easier having him come home to where we live together, to a home we have made together, to our new life!

About us!

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post on this new blog thing I am going to try out. I will start by letting everyone know a little bit about me. I am 20 years old and married to the love of my life, Sam. We have been together since High School and I am so happy with our life. Sam is in the USAF and has been since September 09. He is being stationed at Hickam AFB in Honolulu, HI in April and we are very excited about the move. I am working on my degree, I was a nursing major, but I am now changing majors to Elementary Education and am so happy I made that decision. I used to attend Worcester State College and played for the soccer team, which is something I will always miss and was probably one of the hardest things for me to leave. I know I can play soccer in Hawaii but it will never be at the same competitive level. It will obviously be extremely hard for both of us to leave our families, but the good thing is that we both have great families who will be there for us throughout the whole trip and when we get back.

Soo.... Here are a few dates to throw out there...

Sam and I got married on December 26, 2009
Sam is in Texas for Tech school for security forces and graduates March 11, 2010
He then comes home for two weeks
We both leave to move to Hawaii April 1, 2010 to begin our life together!
