Another Month To Go!!!!

Trevor has exactly ONE MONTH to go at Basic Training. He is doing amazing, and kicking butt with every challenge he is faced with. He missed the "Expert" Marksman on the rifle by 2 shots. I do know that he had water in his scope, so we're both confident that he would have made it if it were clean.

Kara is trying to scoot and growing by the minute. She tries so hard to pull herself up into a sitting position while laying down and has succeeded just once. Both of her bottom teeth have popped through, but they didn't seem to bother her much.

Next weekend Gary and Linda are going to swing by on their way to Minnesota and I couldn't be happier! I know they're coming to see Kara but the visit will be fun I'm sure!!

Hopefully everyone else is met with better weather than here - 50s, wind, snow/rain is NOT ideal for this lizard wannabe!!

Have a happy day :)

Update on Trevor!!

He is doing well, and is finally over his sickness. I spoke with him today, and the Drill Sergeants have backed off considerably. They more or less are giving direction now, instead of just physically tiring the guys out. That was nice to hear... not that I could do anything about it, but I'm glad to find out that he'll finally be getting some rest.

For the next couple of weeks he will be qualifying on the rifle, perfecting his Physical Test score, and practicing for graduation.

We both have a countdown going, and we can't wait to have this milestone under our belts! We're not even anywhere near done with his training, but I definitely look forward to actually talking to him daily!!
