I know I know.... where have we been?????

Those of you near by know where I've been. Sick. And Tired. Really. I just finished my THIRD round of antibiotics to kick the crap I have had since January. I'm feeling better and, Lord willing, will maintain my health. I better. I have a triathlon to compete in May 2!!!

As for the last 3-4 weeks, I ready to update you. It will take a few blogs to cover, but stay tuned.

Starting with Cadet Mikey.

He is doing amazing! They received their official name badges:

When asked if this was exciting, the answer was "Yes, but really it's just one more thing to polish."

He brought home a few more pics of his Cadet life:

His "view" from his dorm room:

The handsome boy in his Cadet Uniform (It was the end of the day Friday, so he is not as tucked as he should be...):

His locker. This is the only place they have to store any personal items/school stuff.


Everything else is going very well for him.

He is now baton certified (no, not the parade baton, the self defense baton).


He passed his second EVOC (driving) "Skid Pan" test on the FIRST try! That is when they wet down slick concrete and make them drive and skid with bald tires and see if they can maintain control. He did. WOOHOO!


AND they get their guns tomorrow. What more could a guy want right?


He is in week 11. Almost halfway.


Keep the prayers coming. They are definitely appreciated. We know we would not be getting through this as painlessly as we are if God was not in control of it. Our faith is with him and we know he is working for us!
