1 yr ago today

One year ago today the LT graduated from College and commissioned into the US Army as a 2LT! One year ago today, we officially started our journey to Hawaii. Sure, we knew we were going to Hawaii before this, but his graduation and commissioning solidified it. It made it more real, if that makes sense. I wish I had some pictures to show of his graduation and commissioning, but I'm not sure where they are.

I forgot that today was his "anniversary" until he said something last night. I felt bad, it was such a big day for him, and I guess I didn't think about it because we have so much other stuff going on, and I've been sick. But he wanted to go to dinner, so we went to Cattle Company because he wanted steak. It was SO good! I was a little bummed, because I thought we were going to Outback and I was kind of wanting a blooming onion, but we got shrimp cocktail instead, and I got a really juicy, cooked to perfection Filet Minon. OMG, that steak was SO good! And I got the onion rings, those were good too. And their bread, to die for. I felt so bad for eating it in front of him, because we think he might be lactose intelerant because he's had some symptoms, so we got him some pills, and the first two days you have to not eat dairy. Wow is that hard for him. I feel bad for him, but only one more day! :) Woohoo!!

Anyways, just thought I'd update ya'll, and write about his 1 year anniversary of sorts! I am very proud of him and he's come a long way. He's learned a lot, and there are some things he wishes he had done differently, but that is how life works, you learn from your mistakes, and short givings and move on.
