People have been asking about if he looks different. It took a little while to get used to his shaved head, but by the end of the weekend I liked it. He's not really skinnier. He's still hot as ever.
We went and saw Batman, which Spencer has been DYING to go see since he first entered. He kept saying that he was going to be so mad if it had been taken out of theaters when he was allowed to go. He thoroughly enjoyed the movie. We also got to watch some college football, and Spencer was able to catch up on some MUCH needed sleep. I was seriously entertained watching him sleep. Before he entered OCS, he was the lightest sleeper I've ever seen. If I stepped foot in the room, he would pop up, wide awake. Well this weekend he'd lay down and be snoring in about a minute. One night I even got up, turned the air down, went to the bathroom, got some water, and he didn't budge. I guess I'm the only one who can really appreciate this.
Sunday we went to church then drove around Newport. Newport is BEAUTIFUL. Right on the water, a lot of greenery, and sailboats everywhere. Saturday night the storm Hannah came through, but luckily it was while we were sleeping. The rest of the weekend had perfect weather. Spencer got special permission to stay out longer since I was in town, so instead of reporting back at 4:00, he got to stay out til 8:00. I was very grateful. So then he left, and I stayed in the hotel room watching "America United" which is a concert in support of the troops. So there I was, crying, proud of my officer. It was great walking around with him while he was in uniform and seeing the reactions of everyday people. Many of them paid their respects and thanked him for what he was doing. Oh, and not to mention getting military discounts...a definite plus. I'm definitely glad to be sacrificing my husband for the good of the country.
These pictures are from his dinner he had Friday night. It was formal, so he got to wear his dress whites. Handsome, huh?? And now there are only 2 weeks from tomorrow that I will be back to Rhode Island to reclaim my husband for, well, the next couple of months.

That's so great you had a nice time with him! And how cute you were all anxious like a first date Stacy!
It's nice to hear that they let him stay out til 8! It feels like you've been posting a lot of the hard times, so it's good to hear that they do let them stay out longer for the wife in town!
Let's keep hearing some of the good stories from OCS! And yay, just about two more weeks!
I love how he's cheesin' in that one picture! hahah thats awesome
So glad you got to see your honey. Scott and I have been married for 8 years and it's crazy how time apart brings back that feeling of the first date. Silly. Best Wish for graduation and I know you are proud of him. Keep us posted on what's next for ya'll.
how exciting.... is it just me or does he look even better in his dress whites than on his wedding day? jk jk.... glad you got to see him. will you be in georgia when i come home?
I am soooo glad that you got to see him!!! It looks like you had a great, much needed weekend!
I glad yall had a nice weekend! I can't believe yall are moving in about 3weeks!!! Bex will be happy.
OK I just totally laughed out loud when I read "like a second honeymoon..." umm that's close to the same level as, "we're working on it". I know Spencer's feelings on that so I think I will leave it at that. So happy you guys were reunited. That's super duper exciting and very romantic too! :) See you soon!
I was sad that I missed you this weekend, but so happy that you got to spend time with Spencer. I am sure you have amazing you know what :)
There is a sense of pride us military wifes have for our men in uniform. Rather they are veterans or active duty, THANK YOU!!!! I just LOVED the feeling of the first date........I got that like a million times because Patrick was gone so much. Instead of being gone 6 months at a time, it was 2wks-28day deployments every month......I don't miss it. I hope you have an even sweeter reunion when you move up there, GOOD LUCK!!!!
Congratulations on commissioning! Yea those discounts are great.
