Today we got some really CRAZY news. I decided not to post it on my facebook status, just blog about it. and link to my blog of course haha. That way those who actually follow my blog will know and be special. and if it doesn't happen I didn't post all over facebook haha. Plus I dont want to embarrass my husband. :))
Today Justin got offered to go to ranger school. Those of you who are in the army know all about ranger school (well have heard of it). For those who haven't -its HARD. And its not easy to pass. But I really believe that if you set your mind to something, and if its in GODS plan, you can do it:) Needless to say he is a little nervous, he has watched those videos and they are scary haha. His SGT told him that this is a great opportunity for him (which we knew) and he has plenty of time to start training now! If he passes Ranger School -not only will he be known as tough (or whatever). He will get a ranger tab. He will be automatically promoted to Sgt if he passes AND its $200 extra a month just for being a ranger. So needless to say I really hope he gets it:) Even if he doesn't pass, or they don't end up sending him (its the army anything can happen) I am really proud of him for getting this chance, and for them thinking of him. Right now they are only sending two people, which I have to say I am so proud of him too!:) (won't say names incase they don't wanna tell people yet). The army has given us so many blessings since we have joined. I just can't thank them enough. But -with all good comes a little bad. Justin is already missing finding out the sex of our baby, because he will be in the field. Honestly, I am a little sad about it. But I think when you go through TTC and then miscarrying it helps you be thankful. So I am just thankful that GOD gave us the CHANCE to be parents. Besides his Sgt said he will make sure I can get ahold of Justin to let him know the sex:) Which is amazing. But now they are talking about sending them at the beginning of the year, right now they are saying Jan...which if its Jan would be perfect because he would be done before I had the baby (Hopefully, unless I go early). But if they push it to Feb, theres a chance he would miss the birth. His SGT said he could go after the baby was born, but honestly we know the army and if you skip a chance -you can probably kiss it goodbye. As much as I want my husband at the birth of our child. I really think GOD has a plan, and everything will work out. So many of friends husbands have missed their children's births and it wasn't the end of the world. Again, I am SO thankful for this chance to have a baby that really nothing can get me down about it. I pray he goes in Jan, it would be perfect. Although then he would be gone most of Oct/Nov home Dec gone Jan and part of feb and field time in March, so I would be missing a LOT of him. But come on, this is the army. And we have been in 2 years (in oct) with no deployment so we have been extremely blessed:) Justins reaction to being told he was going to ranger school was that hes going to get starved hahah. And hes really nervous, and he said that hes glad he quit smoking:)) He hasn't had a cigg since the day before yesterday! I am so proud of my husband, I dont think he can even begin to realize how amazing he is to me! Even if they end up telling him hes not going, Im still proud that he was offered it. <3
