Kevin left me late this afternoon to Harrisburg, he is being put up in a very nice hotel so he can be at MEPS in the morning at 4am.
This is where he will be doing his physical, haggling over his MOS (He wants Finance and Accounting) and etc before he officially signs his name on the dotted line and his life becomes the U.S. Army's and no longer his own.
*sigh*
This is the first step... besides the one where he contacted the recruiter and began the journey, I guess you could say this is where the journey becomes "official".
After he does this visit to MEPS, he will wait about 10 days or so and he will go back to MEPS. He will then sign the official contract and then leave immediately to AIT school. - That will be about 8 weeks long.
Since we have the Holidays coming up, Kevin will get to come home for Christmas and then go back and finish before coming home on leave. Then we go to his first duty station.
That will be a hectic time. We will have to get the movers and all else to move us to his duty station. The car and Momzilla shipped, etc.
At least Kevin will be home with us again. For how long, who knows? But, we will appreciate and cherish every day we get together. Hopefully, he will be there when the new baby makes his way into the world. Hopefully, We make it to May before that happens!
I am glad we went to the Borough Days here the last weekend in Sept. It was a local street festival and Kevin and I took the little ones just to putz around and get out of the house. We happened to stop at an ATM where a photographer was taking pictures for people. $23.00 later, we signed up and took a nice fall picture.
So, he will at least get to take this with him when he leaves for AIT.
I will miss him so much. I miss him now, but I know this is only one night. I don't know how "well" I will be when I know he will be leaving for 8 weeks.
I guess we will see then.
Many prayers and tears will my pillow see during that time.
God Bless My Soldier and My Family.

You will do just fine. I mean..its going to stink, but I think you will find that you will "deal" better than expected. You will just have to. I'm sorry that things have to be this way. You will get to have a WONDERFUL Christmas though!
The fall picture is amazing. I don't know how you managed to get such a great group picture! That is one task that I never look forward to!
