What an uplifting day.

Oh how I love my Sundays. I forgot that today was Regional Stake Conference..:/ oh well. I slept in, which was VERY much needed. although I still woke up at 6:40 and went back to bed until 9. I guess I cant sleep in like I used to when Steven was around. weird. The dishes are done, another box is packed, most of the pictures are off the walls, and my house smells clean :) I finished my book Sarah's Key today! It was soo good! I don't know why, but the Holocaust is something that has always interested me, maybe that's why I loved the book so much? Now to find another good book...suggestions??
Once the house was to my liking, I sat down and read some general conference talks from this last session. Why I never took much time to actually read the talks after wards I do not know, because I feel like I get more out of them when I do!
As I was printing out a few talks, my phone rings, Its my hubby! I got to talk to him for 15 minutes! It was so nice :) He's doing great! When they went to Basic Training on Tuesday he said they all went into a bit of a shock. The drill sergeants at basic are a whole lot worse than in processing. He said they yelled the whole morning when they first got there while cursing every other word. I could only imagine the look on Stevens face. haha The showers are fast paced and cold! They have just a few seconds to take a group shower and get out fast. He said there are guys running all over the place in there with their towels, Sounds interesting...He said hes gotten faster at eating..I don't know how that's possible. I'm curious to see what Steven is going to be like when he gets home and we have dinner together, Hes going to finish while I'm taking my first bite! They started their physical training and he says hes one of the fastest guys in his group! So proud of him :) There are about 150 guys in his...unit i think he said, and they split them into 3 groups...If I remember correctly. He said he wrote me a letter with his address. So when I get it and any of you readers would like to write him, let me know and I'll pass it on! The only sad news I got from him today was that he wont be done until August 25th, instead of on the 18th. an extra week:/...only because he was in processing for longer than usual.
Despite all the hardship of not having my husband by myside as I finish out my LAST MONTH OF SCHOOL, I love him so incredibly much. After our phone call, I sat there and just thought to myself how lucky I am. Lucky to be his wife. Lucky to have someone love me as much as he does. Lucky to have him gone for only 4 months vs 1 yr. Lucky to have the good example that he is to me. Steven has joined the army, to better not only his future, but OUR future. Our future family. He loves me that much, to go through all the pain and hard work, to ensure we have a good future together. That just amazes me. I love my husband, my religion, and my life. I couldn't ask for any better man. I love you Steven Crosby, and am waiting here for you, strong and proud! :)
