Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Tonight is awesome because it is the first day of my 4-day pass away from AIT - my specialty training that I'm taking in Ft. Gordon, GA. I'm currently at my Aunt and Uncle's house near Atlanta and it is the first time I have felt free and relaxed in awhile.

It's been a few since I've streamed my thoughts on here. So sorry if you've been wondering about my latest experiences. I haven't blogged about AIT for a few reasons... I am kept super busy there, and I sadly don't have a lot of positive things to say about it :(. Basic was awesome - it was a welcomed test of strength and mental endurance. AIT is neither of those, it is simply a test of patience since a large percentage of time is wasted in long formations and performing pointless tasks such as raking sand.

The other night during "bed-check" (our nightly roll call to make sure we haven't escaped) the sergeant on duty made all of us choose a female stripper name as our first name. I went with Daisy since that was the one he suggested to me the night before. I will leave you with that to summarize what the Fort Gordon experience is like Haha.

February can't come soon enough!! I have so much to look forward to, so it isn't very difficult to make it through the not-so-fun times. If anything, AIT has made me EXTREMELY thankful on this lovely Thanksgiving night for the real world outside of military training. My family is awesome. My girl is awesome. I know this will all be worth it.

It has been way too long since I've seen everyone... so I just want to say I hope you are having awesome times and I probably owe you a visit this Feb. Yall know who you are!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
