I need to get my butt into gear and get physically fit before I head off to boot camp!
Also, my mind is full of ideas of things to make, notes to write, little gifts, etc to have Jimmy give the kids while I'm gone. Like one shoe box will be filled with little surprises for when Audrey or Jacob had a bad day, or really misses me a whole lot. And there will be little notes with smiley faces and encouraging words, little candies, etc.
Plus, I'll write them each letters every day in boot camp.
I will miss them like crazy.

Civilian wives miss their husbands, too.
You know why? Because they're so busy all the time!
The weekend just ended, which means I just got done working two doubles at the restaurant. I'm exhausted. Slept as late as possible this morning, and am now nursing this cup of coffee.
Jimmy left at some rediculously early time to go get some extra studying done before his classes today. He kissed me goodbye and we discussed trying to get a sitter on Thursday so that we can have a long overdue date, and actually see one another for more than an hour at a time.
The majority of the weeks are spent passing off the keys to each other, just kissing each other goodbye or goodnight.
The time apart to time together ratio is probably pretty similar to how we spent our lives in the Navy, it's just more broken up.
And we have less money.
These seem to be more reasons indicating that joining the Navy myself might be the right decision. Better quality of life. A house, even. A second car. Awesome vacations and fun family trips when I'm home.
Waiting tables isn't great, and I certainly don't want to do it forever.

Navy Blogging
So, I'm obviously terrible about blogging regularly, but I've been feeling the need to lately. And here's why. Not everyone knows, but I've decided I'd like to join the Navy in about six months.
So, here's my first Navy-themed blog.
It's morning. But instead of making coffee, I'm dressed and ready to go on walk with the kids to Target to buy a few things. No coffee, because guess what? You can't have any in boot camp. Of course, I don't have to quit yet, but I just don't really like feeling so dependent on it every day anyway.
And besides, let's be real, I'll probably buy a Dr. Pepper at Target.
Ha ha.
That's all.
Sincerely yours, a sassy soon-to-be sailor
