For some time now Justin has been interested in different forms of the military. After much consideration on both our parts, he has decided to join the Oregon Army National Guard. I am nervous, excited, scared, happy, proud, worried, etc. A whole slew of emotions. He'll leave for basic training sometime early next year. I'll be a single mom during that time. Yikes! He'll be gone for about seven-eight months. Double yikes! We're trying to get pregnant so I may have a baby while he's away. Triple yikes! Okay this is getting scary now.
I'm not looking forward to this being us.
We've decided that this is what's best for our family. Not only do I get to be a stay-at-home Mom which I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about that!! The biggest seller for me is that we will qualify for a VA home loan. It'll give us many of the things that we've been wanting. This would all be completely out of the question and a home loan is not a good enough reason to do it except that Justin really wants to join and as hard as it is, I support him.
I'm just trying to look at all of the positives.
If I think about the negatives I get really upset and that doesn't help anyone.
Another plus? Those uniforms are sexy as hell. Ohhhhh yeah!! So here's to thinking happy thoughts!
