The days go by so slow.....

The days since Gavin shipped have gone by so slowly. I find myself constantly wondering what he is doing, what they are feeding him, and how he is handling all of the changes in his life? Yesterday, Stephen and I made a trip to Walmart, and I walked by GI Joe's and started tearing up, I am wondering is this normal. Yesterday was a very difficult day for me, I went to medical office class, and the teacher started talking about hero's and servicemen, of all things to talk about in a Medical Office class... She had forgotten about Gavin leaving on Monday. I have found that although my life seems to be standing still, life around me goes on. I have never once been concerned about Gav making it through boot camp, I know he is a strong young man and he can do anything. I don't like that my kids have grown up so fast. It seems like just yesterday we were breaking up arguments over hot wheels, or going to Chuck-e-Cheese. For those of you who have kids still young enough to enjoy all of those things, cherish those moments. Even though life is hectic when they are that age, and sometimes frustrating, it all goes by way to fast.
I am so happy that I have Taylor still at home, and am enjoying time spent with Taylor's girlfriend Ashley, and Gavin's girlfriend Alyse. We are getting through this together, and girls we need to do ice cream at Bruster's with three spoons soon. Have I mentioned how wonderful my husband has been through all of this? Stephen is missing Gavin so much but we are leaning on each other, and knowing that Gavin will be so polished when we see him in October. Now if we could just get an address.....
