Basic Training...DONE!!!

I can not say enough how happy I am that Basic is done and over with for Tayler. That was such a long time to go without talking to him seeing him and all that stuff. I was so excited to see him on the family friend day. That was our first time seeing each other in PERSON since we were little. I had the biggest butterflies in my stomach and just couldn't believe that I was actually there with him. It was the funniest thing though.....he was forced to wear his BCG's (which basically are nerd glasses for the army)

Aw he is so cute as a little nerd!!

SEE!!! NERDY!! but I didn't care at all! I was just so happy to finally see him. It was really funny because the whole day we were just making jokes about them. They made him wear those things for the family day and also the graduation!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!? I mean I can see for the family day but seriously....graduation?? But like I said I didn't care.

After we all ate his family let us spend the day together and I was so happy and surprised! His family was very cool about me hanging around with them the whole time since his mom knows how it is since she has been through all this with Tay's dad. On family day Tay and I went to the mall and he was so sweet. Every store we went into if he saw me looking at something I really liked he would offer to buy me it. I told him no every time and to just save that money to fly me out to see him during his AIT in Texas. He should get weekend passes in about a month so I will most likely be flying there to spend a weekend with him.

The next day was graduation and I could not be more proud of him! I had a permanent smile on my face the whole graduation. It was such a fascinating ceremony. I really enjoyed it. Once it was over I couldn't wait to get down there on the field and congratulate him. Of course since it was a graduation I was dressed up which of course meant I was wearing heels. And EVERY girl knows that heels+grass don't mix. It took me awhile to get all the way to him and his family but I made it. He looked so handsome.

We made him take off his glasses for the pictures HaHa!

We spent the day together again and it was so hard because they can't even hold hands when they are in uniform but we made it work. I just held his arm like he was escorting me all day. It was still really great! I was so happy all day but yet....sad. I knew I was going to have to say goodbye again and I seriously did not want to. When it got close to it we said our goodbyes and of course I started to cry. I kept thinking to myself all day that I would not cry and what do I do?? I CRY!! oh well I still was happy. Ya they were tears of sadness but I was still the happiest I have ever been. He is such an amazing guy and he always makes sure he tells me how amazing I am too. I am the luckiest girl to have such a wonderful boyfriend like him.
