My Soldier ♥

It finally happened.

I finally got to see my handsome husband & soldier. Finally after 10 weeks of waiting & hardly any communication I got to be in his arms. It was the best feeling in the world when my husband walked out the doors with a huge smile on his face & I ran into his arms.

The next day we got to watch Matt graduate... It was such an amazing experience.

I am so proud to be an Army wife.

Matt is in training until March but luckily he will be home until Christmas! Less than 4 months & he will be home with his family. 

Tonight I couldn't wait any longer so I went ahead & got all the Christmas decorations out. Won't be getting a tree until Mr. Mathia gets home for Christmas of course but figured I could go ahead & put everything else up. :) I love Christmas time. 

Our bedroom Tree & wreath

Okay, I'm going to finish up my peppermint hot chocolate & go to bed. 

Tip- Put a candy cane (one of the small puffy round ones) in the bottom before you pour the water in the mug. Sooooooooo GOOD!

Three Days.

Almost there......
Currently, I am trying to find my favorite outfits, folding them up, & packing them in a suit case... YEP! You guessed it! I am packing to go to see my husband!! After 10 long weeks I will finally be in those buff arms that I've missed so so so so much! I do have a helper...

He really isn't much help at all as you can see. This is his new bed that, as of this weekend, he has just figured out was his bed. Now every time he lays down he's out. Ha ha.
Anyways, back to the trip. So I will be leaving early Tuesday, 12 hour drive. I should arrive early afternoon. Then Wednesday morning, I will finally see him!!! Then on friday I will be a VERY proud wife as I watch my amazing husband graduate from BCT and move on to his job training. That will be about 18 weeks, which I hope goes by extremely fast just like Basic did. Before he starts that training though I will hopefully get a long & peaceful weekend with my husband. 

Okay, well I'm going to go change the laundry & fill up my coffee cup! 

I'll make sure & keep you updated!
