Ok, man I'm failing at this whole keeping up on my blog thing. So since I last wrote I actually went to visit Brandon on the 12th of August and stayed for the weekend. We had such a good time just walking around San Antonio, especially the river walk which is really neat. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures all weekend, which kind of makes me sad now that i think about it. But hey we will always have the memories...that is until i forget them hahaha But seriously, it was such a good trip, and so nice to see my Brandon again.
In other news, Brandon has volunteered to go to Airborne training. He did get my permission first like a good husband, and as much as I don't like the idea of him jumping from planes, I know its what he really wants to do, so I'm going to be the supportive wife from my position on the ground as I will constantly be on my knees praying for his safety. To be in an Airborne unit Brandon will have to go back to Fort Benning for a 3 week training course. What does this mean for his plans to take his leave after graduation and help get us ready to move to el paso? It means for right now we are no longer going to El Paso, and we are now back in limbo not knowing if he will get to come home, or if he will have to stay in san antonio for a little while, or if he will go straight back to Benning for airborne training. Another wonderful piece to this puzzle that is our life, Brandon is currently at Camp Bullis until the 23rd, so he has no access to his phone or computer. This means that if he gets his orders soon, he probably wont get them till he gets back to Fort Sam, so that gives us a week to figure out what our plan will be. The whole situation is kind of ridiculous, but I suppose it is just giving me a small taste of what our life in the army will be like.
Let's see what else - Kale decided to eat one of his toys a couple weeks ago, and had to go in for surgery the have it removed from his stomach. Pretty much the most expensive and horrible weekends I have had in a very long time. But it is sooooo nice to see him more like himself now. We are back in his training classes, and I have decided to teach him to shake hands on my own. No major progress yet, he did lift his paw once without me doing it for him, but it didn't happen again, so it may have been a fluke. Oh well, he will get it eventually, for a dumb dog he is pretty smart - or is it the other way around? hahaha
