Fort Jackson, South Carolina!!

Just got home from my trip last night! I went down to Fort Jackson, SC to see Tycen graduate from Basic Training. Oh, I wouldn't have missed it for the world! I am so proud of him. I got in Wednesday, and went out with a bunch of girls that I had been talking to for 11 weeks on Facebook. It was good to meet them! Thursday, Family Day, was awesome!!! The soldiers came running out from smoke that they set off. Everyone was so happy to see their soldiers. I was the first one to get my husband, no joke! We spent the day together with his friends, eating, and seeing the sites on base. It was fun to see where he has been for the last few months! The next day rolled around, graduation day, you would not believe how much of a cry baby I am. I am just too proud, and he has done so well. We got to go off post to eat some lunch, and of course, we watched Dear John together. Later that night, I had to let him go back. Way too early Saturday morning, I got to the airport to find out that my flights were canceled because of all of the snow, so I stayed over night in the airport until Sunday morning when I got to fly to Detroit, for guess what? Yes, a 10 hour layover until I left to come home. So, today, I am finally home, and Tycen is in Virginia. He may be home sometime in July, we are hoping. I was just glad that I could make it to graduation!

I'm SO glad you got to go out!!! You guys are so great together. I know this is just the beginning of so many great things for you!!! (Sorry it starts out with so much time apart. Gordon and I always thought of it as keeping it like dating. There were always new things to talk about and we were so excited to see each other since it had been so long.)
