Well, here goes...

I suppose that since this is my first ever blog post that I should introduce myself.

My name is Caitlyn, and I graduated from high school two months ago (approximately). I am headed to Saint Louis University in the fall to get a BA in psychology and a secondary certificate in legal studies. I am a pre-law scholar at SLU.

My boyfriend's name is Cody, and he is a basic cadet in the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. He plans to study electrical engineering as of right now, and he hopes to go to pilot school and be a pilot for the US Air Force.

On June 25th Cody left early in the morning for Colorado, and on June 27th he started Basic Cadet Training (or BCT). BCT will last for six weeks, and the basic cadets are only allowed to have their phones for one day in the middle of it. Having our only contact be reduced to letter writing has been really tough, especially because I live in Illinois, and it takes about four to five days for mail to get to Colorado from here.

So far, I have received three letters from Cody, all on the same day. It was really great to get those letters, because I miss him tremendously. I'm hoping I'll have more tomorrow, but it's dangerous to get too excited over it.

I plan for this blog to be mostly about what's it's like to be the girlfriend of a student of the USAFA from start to finish, as well as my journey through college. I'll try my best to keep up with it and write regularly.
