Skyler left for Basic training on July 8, 2014. Wow was that a hard day for me! I took him to the Vegas airport and stayed with him until his flight departured.
I was extremely nervous because he wouldnt have his phone for 8 1/2 weeks so we didn't really know what to expect but we were hoping that he would get to call home soon after he arrived at Lackland AFB, TX. Well he got to the Dallas airport and let me know he made it. 3-4 days went by and still no call. I was getting really nervous that something was wrong but he finally called and gave me his mailing address. It was a long 8 1/2 weeks without him but we kept in touch with letters and he got to call home the 4th and 7th week! So that was something that we both looked forward to! Finally his graduation date was set for Sep. 5th! I was so excited to watch him graduate! It was such an amazing experience to see all of the new airmen graduate (There were like 500). It was hard to pick Skyler out from the croud because they are all in the same clothes and their heads are all shaved!
After I found him I couldn't believe I missed him lol! He got honor graduation which only the top 10% get so I was really proud of him.
I can't believe how much this experience has changed us and made us better people.
After graduation he left for Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. He still doesnt have a set graduation date but is looking close to the end of December. Bleh right around Christmas! But the sooner the better. ☺️ Right now we are going to be stationed in New Mexico at Cannon AFB! We are super excited and relieved it isn't that far away from home!
As of right now thats our crazy life! We are always waiting for whats going to happen next ☺️
