I SEE SAM IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS!!! 

So...this weekend was great...

Not only did I have my first day of work, (which went really well, by the way), I sorta kinda got to see Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Here's how it happened:

Me, my mom, and my brother were headed down to southwest MO to see my cousins graduation...well since we take I-44 the whole way there and Ft. Leonard Wood (where Sam is) is on the way, I convinced my mom to stop and take a look around the military base in hopes of finding and seeing sam...(THANK YOU MOM!!)  Well, we drove around for a bit, saw some things and some privates...but no Sam.  Eventually I just decided to try to call him to see if he was on his break yet, but no answer...darn...   So we went to the PX (a little shop thing on base) and there my mom went in to buy something and see if she could maybe find something out without being obvious.  No luck there either, but while I waited for her I decided to call Bob.  Great Idea!  He had his phone and he was sitting next to Sam on a bus and they were getting ready to head to Lebanon for their "Free Day Away."  They were like 2 streets away from me!  I was so nervous!  We found a spot to wait where we could see the buses, and when they left, we followed (since we had to go through lebanon to get to our destination as well.)  Once we finally got back to the interstate my mom drove up next to Sam's bus and I got to wave at him while I was on the phone with him...  to most of you that probably sounds like no big deal, but for me it was!!  I hadn't seen him since MARCH!  and before that I was used to seeing him every single day!  So that was wonderful and made my day!   THEN...our timing couldnt have been better on the way home becuase right as we were driving through Lebanon, they were leaving Lebanon, so we got to pass by and wave again!  Man, it was GREAT!

Ok thats really all, may not seem like much, but for me and Sam... It was perfect!  YAY!
