Eight weeks left! (Day 95 of 131)

It's been a good week after a very trying weekend.  B. completed all his scenario testing this week.  Another hurdle done.  We actually got a chance to visit him on Wednesday.  It makes for a really long day, but we love being able to see him.  We ate dinner at Broderick in West Sacramento.  The food was great.  They have a bunch of smothered fries and their salads are humungous. 

Dream Sheets came out this week.  All the conversations we had about which offices would be his top 3 ended up not having any openings.  It was definitely a surprise.  We had even considered putting in an interdistrict transfer for #1 in one of those cities we thought B. would be going to.  I really feel for those families that will be moving across the state or for those planning on commuting really far from home.  One of the positive things that has come out is making connections with several other wives/girlfriends of CTC II-13.  I had no idea there was a FaceBook group for this class.  Hopefully, they will find out for sure next week where they will be assigned. 

We made another payment towards his uniform.  Thankfully they have a payment plan.  I know the cadets are loaned $900 for the first set of uniforms.  Does anyone know when they actually get the money to pay for them?  If there is one piece of advice I can share, it is have a savings account set up prior to starting the Academy with a couple thousand dollars in it.  I feel like B. has had to buy so many things.  All of them totally necessary.

I feel like I've been saying there are only eight weeks left for the last two to three weeks.  We are getting so close.  Hang in there everyone.  Hopefully the Dream Sheet assignments will settle some nerves next week.  To class CTC I-14, you've made it through two weeks.  25 to go.
