Well its been a long 3 months but we finally made it to the end of this mess. We finally get to move to Seaside, California on Thursday! I can't wait to finally get to be with my husband again I miss him so much. 2 weeks ago we got to go down to Fort Leonard wood, Missouri and got to spend some time with Jason. It was an adventure but it was a good one to be able to hang out with Jason. Wednesday Aug. 4th we went to the base for family day. We walked into the baker theater building and waited to be seated. We stood there for an hour in the 109 degree weather while the soldiers practiced for their family briefing. Then they opened the doors and we found a seat. We sat near all the soldiers who were sitting there no smiles and couldn't look around just forward. finally we began and they told us and showed us what they did the past 2 1/2 months. Then we went outside to meet our men but we searched and searched everywhere but couldn't find Jason anywhere. Families all around us hugging their loved ones and so happy. I looked and looked and finally after people started to leave Jason came walking down the street. I walked up to him and the water started to flow. I grabbed him and didn't want to let him go. Finally I did and he grabbed Jonathan. At first Jonathan didn't recognize him until he talked and then the smiles. We went to lunch and drove around the base. Jason showed us everywhere he had gone and told us stories. but then the 4 hours were up and we had to leave him there. I cried on the way back to the hotel but I was glad I would get to see him the next day. The next morning we woke up and got there early around 7:00.... graduation day! after Jason graduated and was officially a soldier we took him off base and we were able to spend the whole day with him. I took him back to the barracks around 7:00 and that was it for that day. The next morning we drove to St. Louis so we could fly out the next morning. Jason had a few hours before his plane left so we hung out at the airport with him till he had to leave. I broke down and cried after he left. I didn't want to wait another 2 weeks or so until I would get to see him again but I had to... its what we signed up for. Well that two weeks is almost up and we finally have a house. I get to move down on Thursday and we sign the papers on Friday and move in that night. I am so excited! It has been so hard and no one knows how it really feels until they live it. I think I am ready to move on with our lives... thanks everyone for all the help and support we love you all so much!
