Today is 39 days since Chet left for Basic Training! He only has 20 days left of BMT. I have to say the past 39 days have gone by quickly but I hope the next 20 days go by even faster. I want to see my husband so bad. Well, I got my 2nd phone call today from my wonderful husband. It was only 7 1/2 minutes long, but at least we were able to talk. It was so great just hearing his voice. This time I didn't cry, which is a step better! I was proud of myself because I was balling during the 1st phone call. He is doing well for all of those who are curious. He said he can see the light under the tunnel and can't wait to be done and home with me!!! He is still the element leader and has to watch over 12 other guys. If one of the 12 guys mess up or are not moving quickly enough then Chet has to do push-ups with them. He said that next Monday they leave to go camping in tents for five days. So that will be interesting to hear about. That's about it for now, but he did say that they got a new instructor this week so he might start getting phone calls once a week, which is what he is supposed to have in the first place.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers, especially my love because he has it far worse than I do. Pray that he has the courage and strength to get through each day. Thank you for your prayers. They are helping both of us tremendously. It is because of God, family, friends and your prayers that we are both getting through this hard time in our lives. I continue to remind myself that this is only one short chapter of the rest of our lives. It will be over before we know it.
