Update

I was hoping Brian would have liberty today so that he might have the chance to update the blog, but it seems that may not be the case. Brian is doing well, ready to be done with basic, but it is almost over. Next week warrior week begins so the hard part is almost over. He says that it can be stressful at times, that he doesn't get much sleep, that a lot of information is covered in his classes, and that they started with 52 recruits and are now down to 46. Pretty normal - especially since his TI wants them to graduate with honors.

From what his counselor said he will be in Mississippi for the first part of training - making it next to impossible for me to be with him because of when the baby is due. His training will mean another 3 months apart, but the second part of his training should still be in Wichita Falls. My summer plans have changed and I have scheduled some work in Arizona until about a week before I am due, and then when he is transferred to Wichita Falls (August 9th) baby and I will move to be with him.

Packing is going well and Brian and I have agreed to sell just about everything we own and start over again. (Obviously we are keeping a good portion of our kitchen because we got most of our stuff from the wedding) When I talked to him on Monday he said it would be better because if we get stationed overseas we'd have to do it anyway, and if we do it now we won't be hauling all this stuff all over the country. Plus I've been wanting to downsize - material possesions are kind of a pain and cause clutter, so I have 6 boxes packed so far and a living room full of stuff that has to be priced for the moving sale next weekend.
