He's finally starting
I am so happy he is finally starting! The longer he had to wait the longer I had to wait to be living with him again. He starts today though I am so relieved we thought it was going to be another week. Kaeson keeps asking where daddy is, I have been saying work. So now he constantly wants to go to work because daddy used to work there when he doesn't see him he cries and asks again where daddy is poor guy!
In other news I have a doctors appointment later today to start back on my meds so that should be interesting.

He graduated!! :D
My baby is no longer a trainee!! I am so proud of him! His Nana and I road down to Lackland together with our son, Kaeson. It was supposed to be a 6 hour drive but with a potty training 2 year old we added on an hour and a half, but still not near as far as some people traveled. When we got there, we got lost a little bit on the way to our hotel. After we got there and unloaded, we decided to look around a bit and try to figure out where we needed to be the next day for the Airman's Run.
It was really hard to sleep because I was obviously super excited and nervous! Kaeson went to sleep rather easily considering it was a new place and he was sleeping with me- which never happens. I on the other hand did not get much sleep. I kept messing with my hair, which actually made it worse. I had used a new body wash in the shower and it made my legs breakout and hurt- damn coconut. Oh and to top it all off I woke up the next morning with a MONSTER pimple!!
I woke up at 5.30 because we wanted to get to the Airman's Run by 7. Well after fooling with my hair, waking, feeding, and dressing Kaeson we were running about 15 minutes late. When we got to the Reception Center it became clear that 7 would not have been early enough- I suggest getting there around 6.15-6.30 bring a chair and a blanket, if there's a chance of it being cold. We had our work cut out finding a place! Luckily there was a little whole close to the end and it was enough room for me to put Kaeson's stroller in front with me behind it and Nana behind me, thank goodness I am only 5'4. The wait was not bad- they had a "hype" woman getting everyone ready for cheering. When the Airmen started to run it was this exhilarating feeling. Even when I saw TRS 320 I knew K would be close to last since he was TRS 326 I was so excited to see men in Air Force work out clothes singing their jodies. :) When TRS 326 finally came around his brother flight was before his. It was really cold outside Kaeson was not paying much attention, I kept trying to get him to watch the men and women pass. Then I saw K and I didn't even worry about Kaeson seeing him- so I am not sure that he did. Anyways he looked so different- so bald! K usually has a mini, compact fro going on and lots of man scruff, now there was no facial hair and no hair! Well it didn't really look like it. After that we were going to go to an events briefing, we decided against it because we thought the bleachers were filling up rather quickly, and they were. So if you are in a big group like we were I suggest you go ahead and find a seat if it's only a few of you I think you should go to the briefing to pass some time.
Anyways the wait for this was excruciating, probably because I was super anxious about tapping him out. When it finally started they started with honor graduates. By the time it was (finally) over and they told the families to come tap out their airmen; we could not find him! It took so long! Kaeson and I got to him first! He picked up Kaeson and Kaeson fell asleep about 2 minutes later. I got a hug and a small kiss; I tried to get another but that damn PDA rule and my lovely husband is a rule follower so I did not get another one. Then his family caught up and the pictures ensued. I kind of got annoyed because the reason we couldn't find him is because there were so many families on the pad- now we were that family. But when you have such a big group it's hard to get them all to listen! Anyways I was just ready to go eat- it was about 1.30 and I had not eaten, and I needed to get my baby in bed.
We ate at the BX not an original idea by any means, but the airmen couldn't go off base so we were limited. If we had to do it again we would have just ordered pizza and gone back to our hotel! With a big group of people it was hard to find a table. After scavengering up enough chairs and eating we just went back to our hotel, Kaeson went to sleep and so did K and I, Nana was in the living room watching tv but she fell asleep. When we all woke up we made a run to Subway then we had to take him back soon after eating.
Falling asleep that night was hard! The next day was graduation and off base liberty. We were going to a minor league game so he didn't have to be back so early. After graduation, which we were late for waiting on family, acourse lol. But it was fine because the graduation went by so quickly and the grandmothers (3 of them) found a place to sit which is all we really cared about. After tapping out I basically grabbed my dear husband and took him off the grounds before we got trampled by other families. Then we took our picture {above in my title collage} and moved along to find his family. The only thing that annoyed me this time was KK told me we needed to hurry because we had the squadron tour so I was trying to hurry people up while his mother and stepdad were taking every picture possible. His dad wanted some pictures and at first I was like later, but then K started talking to others (ya know the man who told me to hurry -_-) so I made him take pictures with his dad. Then we got to the car and something else that annoyed me is Nana (love her to death) did not wait on K's dad and stepmom to go to the squadron but made sure her daughter was there, I did not like that. But after the squadron tour we went with his sister and 2 cousins to the mall. We planned to meet everyone for dinner I told everyone to be there at 4 but planned for 4.30- people in this family are usually late, I didn't expect them to be an hour and a half late -_-... especially Nana she's usually pretty punctual, his dad's side were on time, so we went ahead and started. We had a lot of fun at the baseball game which is weird because I don't even like baseball but the environment was so welcoming! We got back around 11, we ended up leaving the game early.
The next morning I went to get K alone, because it was simpler. K and I had planned to take Kaeson to Seaworld we hoped to take his brothers whom are 8 and 5. We got to take Kolton, 5, but his dad and step mom had to leave. K felt like he really didn't spend enough time enough time with his dad I felt kind of bad because I took up a lot of his time :/. So we ended up going to Seaworld with his youngest brother and his cousin/best friend. We were not ready for this park! I thought it was just like an aquarium- HA! We were only there an hour. His cousin and brother stayed all day, the hour that we were there I got sunburned and so did Kaeson- yikes! Neither burn was very bad thank goodness, we still got to see the dolphins which as a girl is the only important one! Anyways we got back and Kaeson went to sleep. We watched movies and got some Taco Bell when Kaeson woke up. It was a very relaxed day. Then next day, we knew was our last so it was kind of depressing. I went to get him again. He helped us get packed up because our check out was 11. Then we just checked out the BX and the housing on base. We basically window shopped the whole day. We were going to leave at 3, Nana wanted to be home before dark. We ended up leaving around 5. Leaving was just as hard this time as the first time, even though I knew I'd get to talk to him the next day. I got a cute bear in some Abu's and Kaeson got one that was in blues.
Overall the weekend was pretty good, a little stressful at times, but with so many people I guess that's to be expected. My man graduated and I am so proud of him! His tech school doesn't start for 2 weeks and then it won't be long till we are back together!

So Relieved!!
K called today and he passed all his exams and PT. I am beyond proud! He almost made Honor Grad but he didn't which means we can't go off base on Sunday- I am fine with that! I am so relieved. It won't be long till I am tapping him out at the coin ceremony. I cannot wait to see him with Kaeson! I imagine it to be full of happy tears and hugs. Of course they have a rule against too much pda so... we'll have to make sure we don't get carried away. I have been so blessed that nothing drastic happened while he was away *knock on wood*. I didn't do a horrible job with our son. I am so happy, I don't know how to express it! I can say it's 12:18 am and I am wired so I am going to clean my kitchen! Happy Easter guys!

Waiting for a Phone Call!
Just so you know I am on letter #75! I was on #62 5 days ago. I am a letter writing BEAST! Speaking of beast I am still waiting for my post BEAST week phone call. On my facebook TRS/FLT group (it's closed but to find afwm on Facebook go here for their site here) they told us not to get discouraged until Wednesday. That is easier said than done. I got a call from a private caller, I usually don't answer those but when you are waiting on a call from your Trainee you will answer everything. Still nothing though, and I did not wait till Wednesday to get discouraged. K's name needs to come across my phone!!
AFWM stands for Airforce Wingmom, they share a lot of great information on their site and on their Facebook page. Although it says wingmom the page/site is really for any family member or friend who is looking for information and support. They have MTI Monday where you can ask an MTI any questions you have that pertain to the AF. They also have a recruiter that comes during the week to answer questions. They set up private groups for families who have trainees in the same training squadron. It's all about support and it really helps to know that you have people that have been there that you can talk to.
This week I have so much to do! I am trying to stay as busy as possible so this week will go by faster, it cannot go by fast enough that for sure!

Two Words; Les Miserables!!
It's out today!! OH MY I am beyond excited, last trip to Walmart for the week I do believe. Then I can watch it all the time. I am excited to see if there are any deleted scenes or commentary!! I usually do not give a rat's ass about commentary but this movie is amazing! It's all about love and faith. It's terribly tragic while empowering... I know sounds boring to some. My husbands cousin/best friend in the whole entire world did not like it and I almost had to disown him!
I need to go to my mom's at some point this weekend. I haven't been going over as much. I haven't really been going to see anyone the past couple weeks. In my defense, I stay pretty busy.
I have not been posting great long posts I shall find a topic on Monday and write/rant about it! I am sure it won't be hard. I already have a few in mind.
