Basic Training

I wish that I had a cleverness about me when I wrote. My blog post are always so dry and boring. I love reading smart and funny blogs, but I guess that's not my style. Anyway I know that is a weird introduction to a blog post titled "Basic Training". But Aaron left yesterday morning for Lackland, Texas for the next 5 months. I wanted to write a post that relayed just how much I loved spending time with him before he left and how much I will miss him for the next few months, but I don't have the words to make it sound romantic or interesting to anyone else but me. Even that last sentence sounds cheesy to me. But its true Aaron is now officially in the military. I am proud of him right now and also glad that I am not the one who has to be yelled at by drill Sargent's or have to suffer through August in Texas. This is a new experience in Aaron's life and mine. I am excited for him and nervous. I can't wait till I get to talk to him and see how his first days have gone.

I am going to miss him. He has only been gone for two days now and so far Daisy and I are doing just fine. It helps that my mom has an open door. I drove up to Pinetop yesterday, I didn't want to be home alone just yet. I told Aaron before he left that the thing I would miss most is him and Daisy together. I can see how much he loves his his little girl. Anyway before he left I tried to take a lot of pictures of him and Daisy together so I could make Daisy a book of Aaron that we could look at everyday.

These are just a few...

 This one makes me laugh, it was right after a particularly loud Daisy fit. Don't their faces look so happy?
