We had a blast before he left though. Saw family members, had parties, went to Disney and Universal, and went to Gasparilla. For those of you that may wonder what Gasparilla is, it takes place in Tampa, FL.
Gasparilla is basically a Mardi Gras but with Pirates and let's face it. You are never too old for Pirates. We went to the day parade which by the way was a 3 hour long parade. It was a fun time and was great to spend it with the hubby before he left.
As for other news. I just heard from the hubby today!!!!!!! I was so excited to get his call. He informed me that he is going DR tomorrow. He and the others can not wait. They have waited long enough. Also, he let me know that I was approved as a dependent.
Yes we are married. We have been married for almost 3 years. But this monday I got a voicemail (because AT&T doesn't get good service here in MI where I am visiting) stating that he needs a new copy of our marriage license that according to the Army we are not technically married!!!! I was freaking out. So I hurried up and got ready to go to the courthouse and get a new one. Well as I was getting ready it dawned on me that I have to drive 2 hours to the place that we applied for a marriage license in order to get one.
I called the courthouse up there just to verify that I could get a copy on the same day. The lady started to ask questions and search for our license. She informed me that it was lost and they couldn't find it!! I drove the 2 hours up to the courthouse to raise a lil. Needless to say after approximately 45 minutes of being there they found it. It was filed under the wrong name!!!! Finally after almost 4 hours of dealing with the courthouse and others it was faxed down to Fort Benning. So now you know why I was so excited to learn that I was approved as a dependent.
Now I just rambling on. I promise to not desert y'all any more. Just had to get a lil fun in prior to his departure. I will however leave you with a picture that I received today.
I love this man. But boy does he look goofy!!!!
