It's been a good ride. Eric and I got in the car Wednesday afternoon to make the long journey to San Antonio, TX. I'll be here for 9 weeks doing training before heading to my duty station at Fort Hood, TX. I'd say we're pretty good travelers. We keep each other company and try to trade off driving so the other can sleep. Even so Eric typically does the majority of the driving. After 2 days of uneventful driving, which is a good thing, we made it to San Antonio. We found a hotel just a half mile from the riverwalk so we could see what all the hype was about. We didn't do much that evening except get ready for bed and knock out. It's amazing how exhausted a person can be just sitting in a car. Weird.
Friday morning we woke up with one plan on our agenda for the day...find something fun to do. We managed to find a great military deal online for SeaWorld and spent the day there for FREE! We saw pretty much every show they have available and hit the highlights for rides. We were at the park for around 8 hours. Trust me, my legs were about to fall off. It was a great day and we were soaking it up like a couple of little kids.
Saturday morning we met up with some friends of a friend, I guess you could say. It was a couple with military ministry who is an acquaintance of Eric's boss. They took us out for lunch, which was delicious, and then showed us the Riverwalk. What a place! I had a picture in my mind of what I thought it would look like, but I have to say, it's so much better!!! It's literally a world of its own in the middle of the city, sunk down out of clear sight. I thought my legs were dead after SeaWorld, I now have inherited a limb. Wonder how my PT test is going to go here in a couple days. We are exhausted!
This morning was so bittersweet. I'm glad my training is finally here. I have felt so behind not having been to training yet. I know this is all God's plan and I need to trust that. He's never let me down. In fact as I recall, most things have turned out quite a bit better than I had imagined them to go. Can't complain there, and for that reason, I won't complain now. It's here and I'm ready to do it. On the other hand that means that Eric can't be here any longer. I dropped him off at the airport about an hour ago. We promised we wouldn't cry, but how could we help it. He's my best friend and soulmate, of course I'm sad he had to go. Even so, I'm thankful for the time we had traveling down together. It was great.
Well, I'm off to get myself ready for the day. In processing is this morning...and so it begins.
