BBQ

Well, tonight was Ben's going away party at his house. Big bbq, family, friends. It was quite a bit of fun. He tried to make rounds and visit with everyone he could...I'm sure he's exhausted. I gave him the scrapbook I made for him. He wasn't as thrilled about it as I had hoped, but he said he liked it a lot. I just wish he would have been more excited at seeing all the hard work, effort, and old pictures I had put in there. Oh well, he doesn't get excited about much. Ben's mom had a notebook for everyone to write words of wisdom or funny stuff in for him. Ben's maternal grandfather refused to write in it. He said something like, "I've given Ben enough advice throughout the years. If he doesn't remember it, that's his problem." SWEET.

I work tomorrow night. (BOOOOO) Ben's going up to see Chip's house that he's buying. I'm pretty excited for Chip. It's such a big deal!

On Monday, I pick Ben up at 10:30am and drive him to the recruitment office. From there, he'll ride to the Marriot hotel. So from the point I drop him off, I'll have nothing to do until he gets to the hotel. Justin said I could come over to his house and just ride with him because I have no idea how to get to the hotel, and he does. It'll be nice to have some company. I'll feel weird crying around him though. I KNOW I'm going to cry once I leave the hotel.





These next few months are going to be hard and weird.
