It's winding down........

I can't believe we're down to the last few days of basic training!!!! I thought these days would never come! Jared and Laynie are sooooooo excited about seeing Daddy again. They miss him so much! Next Wednesday I'll be flying to South Carolina so I can be there first thing Thursday morning for Family Day, then graduation is on Friday! Then I get to have a nice looooooooong road trip with my Sweetie (and my in-laws, who will also be there for the graduation), back to Missouri. Hopefully things will stay super busy between now and then so the time will fly by quickly!

Nine more days!

Well, I'm glad to report that a light at the end of the tunnel has been spotted! Praise the Lord! I was starting to wonder if this was EVER going to be over!! I haven't gotten to talk to Michael in over a week now (which isn't the longest we've had to go, but still a long time!), and I'm so excited to get to not only get to talk to him soon, but to SEE him!! Woo hoo!! :)

The kids are also very ready to see Daddy, of course. Laynie says to me every single day, "I want my Daddy!" Several times! And he was worried she would forget him!!! While he's been gone, Jared lost his first tooth, learned to ride a bike without training wheels, finished his Kindergarten year of school, he'll also have his graduation and first speaking part in a play before Daddy gets back. Thank goodness for video cameras!

This Friday is the last day of school, though J has been done with his work for a week now. He does still go to reading class with the first graders, art class (twice a week), and Bible class, but he's done with all of his videos. Sunday is Kindergarten graduation, awards ceremony, and elementary school play, then on Wednesday is when I fly out to SC! It's coming up quickly!

I want to thank everyone who has prayed for us throughout this difficult time - I truly don't know how people make it through difficult situations without prayer! I hope everyone is doing well, and I'll post again soon! :)
