So as many of you know my Soldier completed his paramedic course on the 18th (woohoo!! he's a licensed Paramedic!!) and got to come home! It was such a wonderful, wonderful day!! It's such an amazing feeling to have my family together again. We spent a wonderful weekend in California with his family and finally returned home on Monday the 21st.
In true form, we were back to reality on Tuesday. I went to work, the kids to school and my Soldier reported to his unit to check in and do paperwork yadda yadda yadda. It was not an hour into my day at work when I got a text saying "I have to leave on Saturday for training." Devastated instantly, I refrained from breaking down in tears in the middle of work. My brain was reeling. "What do you mean you have to leave?!?!? Don't they know that you just got home!" As my title states, Army wins. So this morning I took my Soldier back to the airport. I'm beginning to think I should apply for a "frequent parker" voucher to the parking garage. Maybe they have a discount for something like that.
Today's a special day for us and I had some big plans. (yes I'm learning to stop planning because it continues to get trumped by the Army's plans) Nine years ago today, we got engaged!! I am quite sure that I had the entire wedding planned 5 hours after he asked me. :)
Anyhow, with my plans to re-celebrate our "engagement" on hold we are back to the count down to Friday! Is it Friday yet?!?!
I am grateful this training is only a week long and that he is getting some time to bond with the other Soldiers in his unit. I, however, miss him and it's not even been 24 hours! The Army adventure continues in the Roseberry household... I am very proud of my Soldier and all his accomplishments! Now he just needs to hurry home!!
