I figured I would post once a week now. The girls and I got to talk to B. every night. We had a really clear FaceTime on Wednesday, since he got liberty and went off campus. I think we've given up trying to FaceTime when he's in his room, the reception is bad and we hardly ever get a clear picture of him.
This week seemed to go by really fast. Work is keeping me busy and of course the girls are a handful at night. Somehow I found the time to read the Cross Series Trilogy by Sylvia Day. If you are a fan of Fifty Shades, you'll like these books too. The books were a super fast read and I ended up reading one book per day.
#1 drew her Papa a great picture with a police car. It had a pink star on the door. #2 is even saying, "Papa is training." I'm still letting them sleep in our bed during the week. It just makes me feel safer that the three of us are all together. The Cal King is definitely not big enough for the four of us when B. comes home for the weekend. I found myself sleeping at the foot of the bed.
B. said that Friday was by far the hardest day. He's thinking they poured it on because Cadets were focused on going home. B. is one of many at the Training Table, where they regulate what and how much you eat to lower your body fat percentage. B. says he's hungry all day. He definitely looks skinnier than when he left. B. has to write down everything he eats while he's up there.
B. got home around 8:30pm on Friday. The girls downstairs waiting for the garage door to open. Their smiles are so big when they see their Papa arrive home. I can't imagine being in B.'s shoes, not seeing his little girls during the week. There have only been three nights where #1 was not sleeping in the same house as me and it was only because #2 was born. I have yet to be away from #2.
B. and I love where we live right now. We love our neighbors and the distance it was to our jobs. Having B. so far away wishes I was closer to my parents and sister's family. We are close enough, yet just far enough where it isn't convenient to see each other more during the week. We've discussed the possibility of moving closer in the future. We don't want to disrupt #2's preschool, so we will be staying put for the next few years.
They've lost three Cadets so far. I think they are now a class of 140. Two weeks down, twenty-five to go.
