Days 124-127

Just 10 weeks to go y'all! To be honest, I don't even remember what J did at the academy Friday- but it must not have been anything crazy since I can't remember haha. This weekend J stayed at his brothers place nearby- unfortunately the pass got pounded with snow which would've made the drive for J super difficult. Saturday and Sunday were both relaxing days for the both of us. Saturday morning J and I FaceTimed and worked on our dream sheet! Luckily for me, J actually ranked the offices already and I only asked for 1 change to be made. We talked about the different areas, where they were, etc. It was a pretty easy task for us and to be honest, I'm kind of excited where this could take us! For the remainder of Saturday, J did his laundry, watched soccer, NAPPED, and just overall relaxed. I spent the day hanging out with my mom and relaxing as well. Sunday was the same also. I had work and J had to head back. When he got back he did the usual Sunday academy routine- iron his blues, shined his boots & brass, dusted and unpacked. He had to finish 1 report (I think part of the scenario testing?), then got some dinner and went to bed. Today, I woke up to my daily good morning text from J. I had to work an earlier shift today so I got ready, worked my shift, then got home and ran. My mom and I worked out in our little garage gym and let me tell you- the TRX "machine" we have is FREAKING AWESOME! I'm so happy I went ahead and bought one for our future home haha. I heard from J around 5:30pm and showed him the awesome video that the academy's Facebook page posted. He took a screen shot of himself and his 2 roommates and I was so bummed I didn't catch it earlier! In my defense, you literally cannot blink, otherwise you'll miss him! Buuuttt guess what they got today!? Their "cheese its" and J got the yellow guidon! I BELIEVE that means they've officially been given senior status, but also means it can be taken away now. J said he got gigged today too because when he went to go in to switch flags, one of the staff officers said his boots looked nasty. J wasn't going to argue with him, even though he literally shines his boots every night. They had a test today on PMA and J got 100% on it 🤓! Unfortunately though, they lost 1 cadet today during scenario retesting.. I believe they're officially at 129 cadets left out of 150 I think started.. It does suck, but it goes to show how serious the academy is. After everyone was winding down, J said himself and 6 other cadets went out to go for a run! They did 4 miles, then him and another cadet added 1 more mile on the track. I could tell J was super stoked! Whenever he usually asks other cadets if they want to run, he struggles to find 1 other person to go with him. I'm glad a bunch of them decided to go out to run, I mean 1. It's good for your fitness 2. Their Capitol run will be happening in 10 quick weeks and 3. Did I mention it's good for your fitness?! We talked for a little bit longer, then J decided to call it a night. Just 4 more days than J is home for the weekend!! 48 academy days left!!

127 days down... 67 to go!
