California Vacation

I'm back from vacation and I have to say, it was a lot of fun. We went to Catalina Island and saw whales and dolphins on the way. We went to Hollywood numerous times and went to The Laugh Factory twice which was HILARIOUS!! ...Let's see..... we went to Malibu and lounged on the beach (which was very cold!) and cruised the PCH. It really was a great time and I am so thankful for Tyler's mom and step-dad. They wanted us to have a great time and were non-stop! I wish I got more photos, but here is what I have!

and then some of my friend Jessica and I before California and two of a really cute dress I scored from Walmart :p

Time

It's set. The date is set. It almost didn't seem like the day would ever be a reality, but it is finally happening. Tyler went to MEPS and reenlisted. Honestly, we've been talking about it for so long that I almost doubted that it would ever happen, but it is. He is officially an active duty soldier. I'm proud of him. I really, really am; however, I'm terrified. For the time that we've been together, we've never really had too much time apart....maybe a week or two at the most. Although he's already been through basic training and AIT, he's starting all over from day one of basic, but because of what he's training for, it'll only be for about 4 monthes Then he'll move onto Airbourne school, and so on and so forth... We are guessing that he'll be gone training a total of 6-9 monthes before we both PCS. I'm happy that he will be on safe grounds and out of harms way.

With all of that said, I don't really want to say too much of what he is actually trying to do. All I can say is that he surely has the strength and mentality to do it and I know he can.

He's not leaving for about another 7 months, but I already know they will fly right by. March 27, 2012. I should be back with him in either October 2012 or December 2012.

On another note, I'll be in California come Friday for a week! I'm pretty excited and totally ready for a vacation away from Walmart. :D
