June 5th

We finally have a date! June 4th we will be leaving for CRC (training) at Fort Benning in Georgia. When we are there we will spend one week getting physical, vaccinations, and training for being in Iraq. After that "we'll hop the puddle to the sand box" (yes, that is clever military lingo for go overseas to Iraq haha).

I ordered boots today. And if any of you know me very well, you know I hate shoes. Well, only shoes that tie, zip, or cover the foot at all. And, yes, I am willing to sacrifice comfort for style. So ordering my boots was a big deal....because I had to find cute ones. Even if I am in Iraq, I am not wearing dumb looking shoes. After hours of searching, I ordered three pairs. I may or may not send them back. But I was told cute strappy sandals are not allowed, so I'll have to find something.... :)

37 days to go. Start sending up prayers... I'll need them.
