Latest Update from the Army

So to give a little background so that everyone understands what is happening. Chase is currently in Alabama finishing the first 10 weeks of his advanced training. After those 10 weeks, he will be heading down to Florida to finish the last 30 weeks of his training. While he is in Alabama, I am not allowed to be there with him, but once he gets to Florida that is when I am allowed to join him again.
Last Monday, I got a call from Chase telling me that I would not be able to move out there until as late as August due to an over-booking of classes in Florida. This news was devastating to me because it has already been almost 2 months since I have seen him last. So I talked to my parents and we decided that I would stay with my parents because I do not have school or work to keep me in Utah this summer.
But then Tuesday, we found out that it was mainly a housing issue and since the married guys don't live in the barracks, we would still be able to go sooner, because they were giving married soldiers the priority, but they were not able to give us a time frame at that time. So that lifted my spirits slightly, but still sad that I would not get to see him as soon.
Thursday, I believe, but it may have been Wednesday, Chase found out that they were holding back all the female soldiers in Alabama and convert the female housing into male housing for the time being in Florida. So theoretically, Chase should be in Florida by the same time he originally was going to be in Florida. But since there is still some uncertainty, I am not allowed to go out there until after Chase is already out there and makes all the arrangements for me to follow.
So we are hoping to be together by the end of May, but there is still no guarantees, but that is our hope.
Chase graduates April 23 from his classes in Alabama and he has been told that he will be in Florida within 7 days of that, so by the 30th of April. Then we are hoping that within 2 weeks all the arrangements for me to move out there will be ready and he will get leave to fly out here and help me move the stuff out there for the summer. So that is the plan. Hopefully that will be the way it all pans out, but we are not sure and only time will tell, but we will keep you updated.
Love you all and thanks for reading! -- Chase 'n Ashlee
