I think every Saturday I will share an unknown fact or secret about me...
*Even though I am pregnant, I get jealous when I see people with babies*
Explanation: I think I am just so anxious to meet my son, that I get jealous of the people who already got to meet theirs!!!
I know its silly, but we can't always explain our emotions can we?

I'm back!!!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while...Life has been pretty hectic!!!
Updates:
I went and saw Jeff again over Easter weekend. It was hard for us because we had to come to terms with the fact that the Army controlled when we got to see each other and how we were able to spend that time.
He graduates AIT in 4 weeks though :) And that is sooooooo stinking exciting because I am SO SO SO ready for him to be home. We've started a list of things we want to do together. First being ZIO JOHNOS!!! ( a local italian restaurant that is DELICIOUS for those of you who don't know what Zio's is!) The first weekend he is home, we are going to order the family meal, bring it home, sit on our couch, and watch movies...one of our favorite traditions!! We've got quite the list started already, and I'm sure we'll keep adding to it.
9 weeks until our son is due! WHOLEY EXCITEMENT!!!! Jeff and I are thrilled. We can't wait for our bundle of joy to arrive (well, we can and we can't! We will miss our time as a couple alone!) But we are so excited to meet this beautiful child that we created and that we will both love immensely :)
School : Finally finally finally is coming together! Unfortunately its just under 4 weeks until I amd one with the semester- so It took a while for me to get into the groove of nursing school! My finals is the same week I go to get Jeff from AIT, and then I get a 2 week break before the next semester starts! But I'm happy to finally be getting the hang of it :)
But other than that, there isn't much going on in the lives of Jeff and I. Just Army, Nursing School, and Baby. thats what our lives consist of now!!!

Somebody to Lean On...
I am very fortunate to have the people in my life that I do. I may not have many close friends, but I have the few that mean so much and are there during the hardest of times. These are the people that I can cry to, vent to, laugh with, and just depend on. They are sympathetic in my times of need and let me cry.
Then, I have Jeff :) He lets me cry, but then tells me its time to buck up and take action.. And believe it or not, this is EXACTLY what I need. Otherwise, if given the chance, I may spiral and stay mopey for way longer than necessary. Its crazy to think that I had forgotten this about him in the last 10 weeks. He'll let me explain what is bothering me, and let me cry, and laugh, and vent. And then he's like "ok..here are your choices...you can do this, this, this, or this...but if you have a better idea, let me know and we can weigh our options." He'll exhaust all of his resources to help solve problems that we have, or that even I just have. I will admit, that used to drive me up a wall. I just wanted him to hug me and let me sulk, for as long as I needed. But now I love his swift kick in the butt to get things taken care of :)
*peace and love,
Jen

For Your Viewing Pleasure....
Yes. The day that we all have anxiously been waiting for FINALLY arrived. My husband graduated BCT. It was the first time I had seen him since January and it was everything from happy, to weird, to overwhelming...every emotion you could think of. He is a new person (in some aspects) and that is not a bad thing...it'll just take this girl some getting used to!!! He picked up some funny habits from his battle buddies in BCT and they formed a lot of inside jokes that he'll whip out and I just look at him like...UH??? All in all, he is the most amazing person and I am so proud of all he accomplished the last 10 weeks... p.s- watching him shovel his food down at Ryans was hilarious...we told him that he wasn't being timed but he just was so used to Eat Fast or Go Hungry!
Here are just a few of my favorite pictures from the first two days of the trip..
Jeff with his Drill Sargeants
WILD DAWGS was his platoons nickname :) They are some WILD DAWGS too!!!
During Graduation...(he's the one in the middle)
Battle buddy!!! Those two were a hoot together... "Guy, come on...seriously guy"
First hug and kiss in 2 1/2 months...needless to say..it was perfect.
I'll get to spend part of the day with him tomorrow and then its back to good ole Iowa. It'll be a tearful trip back on Sunday. But I did reserve a hotel on post for next weekend and will get some time with him.

Perfection...6 years later
Baby just look at us
all this time and we're still in love
Something like this just don't exist between a
Backwoods boy and a fairytale princess
People said it would never work out
But living dreams, we shattered all doubts
Feels good to prove 'em wrong
Livin' our love song
Darling, when you look at me
With my heart beatin' fast, and my shaky knees
It's pretty hard to believe
After all these years, I still need you this badly
Today is the big day!!!!!!!!! I leave to go see Jeff!!!!!! He graduates BCT tomorrow morning at 9 AM!!!!! I'm officially GEEKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff and I have been through a lot the last 6 years...more than a lot of couples endure...family issues, personal issues, questioning whether we were to young to know whether we belonged together, depression, crazy wedding plans, getting pregnant WAY to soon, and now being apart during our marriage...but you know what, it's really made us stronger and really made us appreciate this amazing and beautiful love that we have. I consider myself the luckiest girl in the world to have him next to me in this life :) We were truely saved for each other <3>
