Yay! Anyone who knows me, knows I HATE not knowing what's going on. (Though I have gotten a bit better over the last few years.) So, while I have mixed feelings about the way our lives are going to be this year, I'm at least glad to know SOMETHING! Lol!!
Michael has officially sworn in! They gave him a start date of March 10th. We were definitely disappointed w/that date, as he would have loved to start MUCH sooner than that, but such is life with the Army! He will have a 9 week boot camp at Ft. Jackson, SC, then a few days off, then he'll start AIT. Unfortunately his AIT is a pretty long one (19 weeks!)...BUT he will only be about 2 hours away from me and the kids at that time, so we'll get to see him every weekend! Praise the Lord! I really thought it was going to be a huge prolonged time that we wouldn't get to see him at all, so to find out that we'll get to be together every single weekend is a huge blessing! He will be training as a Chemical Operations Specialist. He said it's also referred to as 74 Delta, or NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical). Makes him sound smart, huh? Well, he is! Lol!!!
So that's the latest update for Michael. The kids and I are doing pretty well, other than battling a pretty nasty flu bug that has been running rampant at church and school. Laynie got a pretty mild version of it, but poor Jared - he got hit pretty hard. It's so pitiful when they're sick! I think they're both on the mend now though, praise the Lord!
Teaching P.E. is going very well - I'm really enjoying it! I'm having a contest with the girls to get them exercising outside of P.E. time, and they are so motivated! I told them that I would take the person who got the most points from now to the end of the semester to go get a manicure and boy, that was all the motivation they needed! They're pumped! They're really great girls.
Anyway, I think that's about it for now. Hope all is well with everyone, I'll try to stay on top of things and keep this updated!

Wow! Glad to hear the good news about Micheal. What will he be doing from now till March 10th and will you be staying with your parents the whole time till then also?
Thanks for the update. I'm glad he will be close to you during AIT, that will be good for y'all. I'm praying everything works out smooth.
At least you finally have a date to look forward to! That will be nice to at least get to see him on weekends.
Hope you all are feeling good soon. It seems like every family I know has had someone with the flu lately!
Man - you're a brave girl! I admire you!
Glad you at least know what's about to come your way, and how nice to be able to see your hubby on the weekends! Happy for you, Laura!
I'm so glad to hear that you will be able to see him every weekend!! I know you must be so excited. I couldn't imagine being away from my hubby for 29 weeks. It's so good to know that people are still willing to fight for our freedom though!! It's a very noble thing. I hope all goes well with the transition.
Great idea, Laura! I didn't know Michael was even considering the Army. Good for you guys!
