Day 1

Today Ryan left for boot camp in South Carolina. We decided to say that he is going Boot Camping because it sounds more fun.

Last night me and Ryan said goodbye to each other actually we said see ya later. It diffidently was a difficult thing to do, i never want to do that again. We decided to spend our last few hours together by talking about all the things we loved about each other. We tearfully prayed together and sang the song I Cry Out:

I cry out
for your hand of mercy to heal me
I am weak
And I need your love to free me

Oh Lord, my rock
My strength in weakness,

Come rescue me oh Lord

You are my hope,
Your promise never fails me
And my desire
Is to follow you forever

For you are good
For you are good
For you are good to me
For you are good
For you are good
For you are good to me

We decided that this was going to be our song while he was away.

Once it got time to say the actual see ya later we had to open up the second box of kleenex. We danced for a little bit even though we both aren't good dancers. We just laughed and had fun. Said our farewells and I was on my way home.

Ryan was picked up at 7am this morning from his home, he was taken to San Diego Airport where he got on his flight to South Carolina with a Layover in Georgia. We got to talk before he left the Airport. He said the people at the Airport were really nice, one lady who worked at baggage claim told him that she prays for the troops every day and thanked him. He was given $30 worth of food vouchers so he got a turkey sandwich at the airport and a Almond butter and Jelly Sandwich on the Plane. He was also thinking about getting a quiznos sandwich last time I talked to him. He said it was cramped while flying to to Atlanta but he did sit on an isle so that helped. He didn't get much sleep because some people were really loud around him, but he said he did get about an hour. His second flight was quick and was filled mostly with soldiers going to basic training. We didn't have much time to talk but it was still amazing. I think he might have sneeked away to the bathroom because i soon got another call from him and he said" I had to tell you I love you one more time". So now he should be on post.

I miss him so much already ... but I think it will really hit me tomorrow. I wrote him already today, i don't have his address but i will save them until I do!
