DH's Army update

DH took his ASVAB and scored pretty high (we think, we're still not sure what the scale is). He also managed to lose enough weight to squeak by the first round of "Are you skinny enough?" The second time he wasn't so lucky so it's crash diet and running around the park wearing a garbage bag time. If he makes weight on Monday, he's off to K.C. for The Physical.

That's the last hurdle.

Of course, I'm freaking out. Yeah, the Army is a great idea when you have a mountain of student loans weighing down your marriage, no real job skills and no prospects for a better life.

But now? Now I'm starting to realize just what DH leaving for three years is going to mean.

So, yeah, freaking out.
