Photo Updates

I've updated the flickr site with the photos from Kyle's graduation and some of the surrounding area. Kyle is now in Gulf Port, MS. He is doing good, and has bought himself a cell phone. If anyone would like it, let me know. He is very happy. You can see it in the pictures and hear it in his voice. He is very happy with the choices he has made for the beginning of his life. He enjoys the training so far, and is absolutely in love with Rachael. He has made some very good decisions concerning his pay, saving for the future, and for college. It looks like some of the things I had hoped he would learn he has, he was listening after all. I am so very proud of him.

Finally got a letter from Greg. He has been very busy with his training, and was unable to write. I've always understood that he may not be able to write much, so when he does get a chance to write, it is always a good time for a "happy dance". He is doing very well. He is now looking forward to the things he has to finish before graduation. In a couple of weeks they will be going through the crucible. The best way to describe it is this, it is a very difficult obstacle course. ("Difficult" is putting it mildly.) Then there is the practicing for the graduation ceremony itself, then it will only be a few more days and he will have leave before going on to combat training. He sounds happy, no more aches and pains of muscles that are growing from all the exercise. He will have some time to come home for a visit, and hopefully will be able to stay for Thanksgiving. I am having a hard time waiting to see him again.

Will update again when I get more news.

Live fully....
