A smiling girl is a happy girl.

The title explains it all. I am a happy smiling girl at the moment. Since my last post, I have been nothing but busy busy busy. I got 60+ hrs a week at school, insane. I received more letters and phone calls on Sunday. Days like today are my favorite. Church, food, nap and a phone call from my soldier. I cant believe he's already been gone for 4 weeks! Its insane to me. Being busy with school definitely helps time fly. I just cant wait to go home and play with my family in Cali for the summer!
Steven is doing great! He actually is enjoying himself. yes, enjoying it :) He says his Drill Ssgts are very stern but fair, so its not too bad. His unit is split up into 3 different groups, His group is getting along very well already. If I remember right, they beat one of the fastest times in the mile run. go babe! They have learned to work together and listen to the Ssgts, because if they get ahead of themselves, they are usually wrong, and end up doing more push-ups. He told me that since they are doing so well I should expect to hear from every Sunday! As good as that sounds too me, I try not to believe it and get my hopes up and then for some reason they arent allowed to call that Sunday. You just never know with the Army! This past week they did the..dun dun dun... Gas Chamber! He said he felt as if he were going to die! The only thing he could say about it was that and "It just SUCKED" but its over with! They are almost out of Red Phase, which is one of the hardest phases he said. The next phase he gets to play with guns...oh boy, now I know why hes excited to be done with red phase! Steven also said that basic training isn't really all that hard, you just do what they tell you, the only hard part for him is being away from me. awwww :) hearing that today definitely made me teary eyed! He only has 5 1/2 weeks left of basic training, and then its on to the easier stuff; his specialty training. And during that time, he might even get his phone every night! He will be getting more privileges as the time goes on. And before we know it I will be going out there for his graduation! I cannot wait for that day to come!! I'm so excited :) Oh, he also had to mention that he already has a six pack and that its only been 4 weeks, so come time for graduation he will have a 20 pack. haha yep stevens still got his humor! It was great to talk to him today and laugh and cry and express our love for each other:)

I only have about 2 weeks left of school! Time really is flying. I am so excited because not this coming weekend, but memorial day weekend my family is coming!! It cant come soon enough! I have so much to do and so little time. Better get started now! Hope everyone has a fabulous week! And once school is over with, I will try to update this thing more often when I get letters from him :)
