Well it's been a little while...this is becoming a trend with my first sentence.
Nate and I were able to go out last night for an amazing date night. He took me to our favorite Japanese restaurant and then we went to Best Buy to buy Blind Side and New Moon. After that we went to see Alice and Wonderland. It was a great night. Normally I am more of a home body and just like to stay in and come right home after we go out to dinner bc I would rather spend time with Nate and I know he has to get up early. He really wanted to go to the movies and since he is leaving tomorrow of course I was like, "sure". Funny enough though it was really cheap. Tuesday's are their $5 dollar movie days, which we knew, but, they also give you free popcorn when you order a drink. We got two movie tickets, two drinks, and two popcorn for only $16 bucks. I am going to the movies more often. All in all it was an amazing night out with the hubby. We haven't gone out in a while bc I was out of town then we are trying to save money for our move to Hawaii. Nate will have a couple days after we get there and before he reports for us to spend some time together exploring our new "home" of Hawaii.
It is crazy to think that in about 6 months I will be living in Hawaii!!! I am very excited to start this new adventure. It is very hard to be SO far away from family and friends but that is what military life is all about. Soon after we get there Nate is getting deployed to Iraq. I am a little scared but when your in the Army that is what happens. He needs it to further his career. It is hard to be promoted in the Army when you don't have any deployment times. It is a huge blessing that it will be in Iraq. Hopefully this mean a little less danger.He is only going to be gone for 6 months so that is also good. I feel bad that he can't deploy with the unit when it does but we won't be there yet. I am not as worried as I was when I first found out that Nate was joining the Army. I have decided that if God chooses to take him home it could be driving to work or be overseas, when God wants us he wants us. I have no room to complain or pout. Some women get married then their husbands deploy for a year then come back and are gone a year later on a terrible cycle so Nate and I have been very blessed to share our first year and a half together. We are just looking forward to what God has in store for us and our future.
On another note Nate leaves tomorrow for 3 weeks to go to Airborne school. He has been running around like a crazy man making sure everything is signed and good to go bc he wasn't supposed to go until July but the slots were filled. In the Army it is a big deal to go to schools it looks better when you are in a Unit and it looks better for promotion and it is just good training. Nate is very excited to go jump out of airplanes, and I am praying that he always lands on his feet. I will just ask that maybe when you look at your feet or put your shoes on that you might think of Nate and say a little safety prayer for him.
Well that is all for now I might make another post later about something the pastor called us out on at church that is really getting me thinking...
