Doing great

Josh is doing awesome and there is talk about moving up his graduation so I will be sure to let everyone know! Sorry I never write here! Give me a call if you want more info. Love everyone!

Hey guess what everyone???? I get to see Josh in 57 days and a wake up! That is what is keeping me motivated!

I talked to Josh on Sunday and he is LOVING his life. He is doing awesome at everything and is very pleased with his decision. Graduation is still planned for May 21st! I can't wait! Give me a call if you have any questions about it.

Thank you to everyone for all your prayers, I know they are helping us both!

SOOOO SORRY!!!!

I know I am supposed to be doing this everyday, but I have been trying to stay so busy that it seems to be taking the back burner! For all who want it and don't already have it, this is EXACTLY how letters to Josh need to be addressed:

PVT Philpott, Joshua W.
B Co 1/48th IN BN
1st PLT Nightstalkers
495 Iowa Avenue, Unit #15
Fort Leonard Wood, MO 65473

Also, the back side of the envelope, under the pointed part needs to say in pretty good size:

1st PLT

He would love to hear from anyone I am sure!

On a side note, he is doing well. His letters are full of excitement and thrill at his life and what he is doing with it!

I feel like if you don't get to see me everyday, sometimes this blog would come off as a mopey, sad outlet for me, but I really am doing much better than I expected and am counting the days til I see him again!

G'night!

I talked to Josh for 15 minutes yesterday! He is doing amazing! Loves his life and thinks I should be able to talk to him every Sunday. I will post his address tomorrow for those interested in writing him.

He sounds absolutely certain that this is where he is supposed to be in life and for that I am truly greatful!!!!

He called and I got some letters!!!!

Well everyone....Josh is doing excellent. He said he has been stressed but is loving every minute of his life! He is still in processing but hopes to ship to his basic unit Monday.He said he has been told he sounds funny. I was sure that would be the way that happened. He said that he is in awesome shape and is ahead of pushups right now. He sounded amazing and I am just on cloud nine!

I have no news from Josh today. Just missing him and trying to stay busy! Keep praying for him everyone!

One Week Done!!!

Sorry for the no update but nothing much has happened. I am finally getting used to the house without Josh and I don't find myself avoiding home or sleep so that is a definite improvement!

I got a generic, pre-typed postcard from Josh yesterday. It just said he was there and safe and would send me his address soon. He mailed that from the processing unit so he has not yet transferred to the basic training unit. The postcard was pretty much the same information from the short phone call the other day.

The weekend is coming to a close. In my book that means I have made it through the first week Josh has been gone! 16 more to go!!!!

Be sure to keep checking. I hope to hear from him soon. It is easier to write on the weekdays.

Bye!!!!

What a difference a day makes! I miss him, but am settling into this life day by day.

Not much news. I did get his confirmation of arrival call. It lasted 25 seconds! Hesaid he wanted to tell me he was there and safe and adjusting. He said he hoped to call me soon and give me more details. He sounded ok. But not great! I am sure there were tons of people around though.

Pray he was ok!

Well I slept so bad last night it was unbelievable. Josh called me at 4 this morning. He said he didn't sleep good either. He was off to MEPS for processing. He called a little before 8 asking me to fax a copy of my drivers license. I thought he had this but oh well!

Heard from him around noon and he was at the airport about to board a plane to Chicago.

He got to Chicago and ate McDonald's and then they boarded to go to Missouri.

He was made group leader of the three people headed from Knoxville to Missouri. He said it was pretty cool. I guess he was in charge of making calls if flights were delayed and getting them all there in one piece.

I hope I sleep better tonight. I was so proud of Josh everytime he called me today. I love and miss him so much.

It finally arrived

Well today is a bittersweet day. I am in bed and so is Josh. Except he is in Knoxville and I am here.

I dropped him off at about 12:05 today. I came home to get him and we had our nice cry and goodbye and then I think we were good to go.

He rode in a van with 6 other guys to Knoxville where they checked into a hotel and got meal vouchers for the evening. They are going to get a wake up call early in the morning to go to MEPS and process and then leave town. Josh thinks that he will get to fly because he is the only one going to FLW. He got to call me a lot tonight and will call me in the morning, but that will be it for a few weeks. I am so proud of him!
