13 weeks down… 4 (FOUR!) DAYS TO GO!!!

I’m literally having to keep myself from bouncing up and down as I write this. I. AM. SO. EXCITED. I. JUST. ABOUT. CAN’T. STAND. IT.

I have a great big honkin’ surprise prepared for him- you who follow this blog (all..what, 2 of you?) will be the first ones to find out as soon as it happens. Well, that and anyone who sees my Facebook status that day. (By the way, Facebook is fast approaching one of the top things I’m so grateful to technology for- and to the nerds that started it!). Anyway- just stay tuned- it’s gonna be great. He’s getting daily hints of what his surprise will be, and it’s keeping him in complete suspense. He has no idea (I don’t think…hmmm….), and I intend to keep it that way. As technology is SO great these days, should I put it on my blog or on Facebook, it’ll be JUST my luck that I’ll ruin my own surprise before I even get to dish it out. SO. Mouth shut!

In 4 days I will see my boy for the first time in 3 months! Unbelievable! Mentally, he’s already gone- already outta there, checked out, paid the tab, done-zo, etc. Unless he miserably bombs this last test (to be taken Thursday evening), he will make his coveted Distinguished Graduate award. YAY! I’m so proud of him, as this has taken hard work, lots of studying, dedication and sacrifice on his part to excel at something few have the drive to accomplish. He deserves every bit of that award and so much more. Way to go, babe! (I’m assuming here- guess I’ll have to wait to congratulate him!)

I just realized this! I guess this is the last post asking for prayer for my guy as he goes through his training at tech school! Awww- that makes me a little sad- but I’m over it now. HA! Just to see how far we’ve come and what we’ve been through in 3 months and what we’ve learned…holy cow. It’s been a long 3 months. We (BOTH) are so thankful to have this trial almost finished and be on the verge of getting back to something resembling normalcy. He’s packing stuff up, going through processing details, closing up mailboxes, readying himself for graduation day and to get the heck out of there. Don’t think we’ll be taking any trips to Texas anytime soon, will we?  He won’t go back there for awhile!

Thank you all for you constant prayers for him, for his family and for me as we’ve been through this. Thank you all for praying for him, for praying specifically for him and the requests I’ve thrown your way. We know that this is our duty and our privilege as brothers and sisters in Christ, to interced on each other’s behalf and carry burdens for each other that are difficult to bear. This was very unexpected and very new for him, as he wasn’t planning on having a girlfriend back at home to “have to” take care of and call to talk to and worry about and blahblahblah. He did great, we both learned a lot and his family and I have grown soooo much closer (love y’all, by the way). It’s crazy, but I believe I know them better than I do him- but that’s what happens when you get to know someone(s) in 3 months. Ya get to know each other! I LOVE THEM!

All that said…the next few posts should be really good, so STAY TUNED! Good things to come!
