News on Husband

Today was a good day. I heard from my hubby! He is doing well, as well as you can be doing while at "boot camp" for Naval Officers. He has no hair and no voice. If you're wondering what to pray about, his knee is a little swollen so if it rips again he'll have to stay for however long it takes to heal. He has an important physical test on Tuesday and if that goes well Wednesday he gets his Drill Instructor. All things to pray about. He got to go to church so that is a major plus.
Missing him is like a dull physical ache. I feel like someone took half of me away when he left. What I'm thankful for is that I feel like when he comes back we are going to appreciate each other more. It's amazing what three months of marriage will do. Back when Nick was just my boyfriend I think this would have been way easier, but now he is my other half! I'll be praying my other half makes it home soon so I can feel complete, whole, and normal.
Meanwhile my friends and fam have been making it a whole lot easier for me. LP came over and I helped her celebrate her b-day by baking her a cake. See below!

Tuesday we have off, thanks Judaism, and I think I might change out my summer clothes to fall clothes. It's sure to be an enthralling day off with no husband. Kitty and I will hang out and I'll watch her lick the couch maybe.
I know your dying to read more, but I'm going to sign off for now!
Love, Kaley & Kitty (and Nick in spirit, who probably longs to be blogging and not doing push ups in a sand pit)
