It's been awhile! Simply because Joshua has not left for boot camp and we don't know when. I believe the last time I posted, we believed he would leave February 26th in the mechanic field. Shortly after that, he went back to San Jose (where our local MEPS is) to take one final test, which would give him another job, I think it falls under the Technical Application Specialist (not 100% though). He passed it, and opted for that job.
So what does that mean? That means his mechanic contract is void, and we are now waiting for this techy Macgyver job to open up in the Central Valley. Joshua takes pride in his job, he's one of three qualified for this job in the Central Valley. On top of this, because he's unsure when his job is, we don't know when he's going into BMT, thus don't know when the wedding will be. I hate the waiting game.
My mom thinks Joshua will get in soon because of the North Korea drama. Honestly I want to see N.K. try something. I'm not concerned one bit. Not for America, at least. The closer countries, like the obvious South Korea and Japan, I worry for. But if they bomb those two countries, I doubt America would sit idle. I don't like the idea of war, especially when my fiance is in the process of joining, but if they want to kill millions of people, I really hope President Obama steps up defends those whose lives were ended for too early.
I personally want Joshua to leave ASAP too. It sounds mean, but I want the planning of the wedding done, so no more drama can rise. I want to get the separation for months to be done and over with, and I want the wedding/reception to be done and over with. I hate being the center of attention, and being the bride, there's nothing less to expect but to BE the center of attention. But besides the wedding, the sooner he gets done, the sooner I'm medically insured, as well.
Joshua was recently really sick with Strep Throat. We knew he was sick over the week: headache, fever, coughing... But one Friday morning, he hacked up blood bits. Now, he would have been on Sheri and Brian's insurance if his original recruiter hadn't said NOT to put him on insurance. At the time, thought "Okay, weird, but Joshua doesn't get sick often." He doesn't. But when he DOES, boy is it bad! It was $90 to get him into an urgent care. I was worried, after he fell asleep thanks to the meds, about me. I'm uninsured as well. I couldn't afford $90 if I got Strep. Thankfully, I didn't. But it was an eye-opener.
That's all that's new with me and Joshua!
