I was lucky enough to be able to stay with Andy last night. We had to stay at a hotel in Lansing in order to ensure his arrival at 6:00am this morning. We were able to spend one last night together before he was off to MEPS and then later to bootcamp. Jamie rode with us to the hotel and also stayed, in order to drive me home today. It was quite nice to have something else to focus on other than just the situation at hand. Jamie and myself were able to go to MEPS with Andy and wait while he finished up his last weigh-in and paperwork before getting on the bus to go to the airport. It was a long wait, but well worth the last couple of hugs and kisses I recieved before he boarded the bus. His flight out of Lansing leaves (or left) at around 1:00pm today. He will arrive later at Great Lakes, Illinois where his bootcamp is located. I am hopeful that I will get a phone call today letting me know he made it there safely and is one step closer to home. It is quite a journey that we are taking and any step that brings me closer to Andy is welcome. I know it has only been a few hours, but my heart is already aching and I am ready to see him, hold him, and tell him that I love him.
I will be keeping this blog updated as I recieve letters.. and hopefully a couple of phone calls from Andy. Please keep our family in your prayers. Thank YOU!
