One week and counting....

In exactly one week I will say goodbye to Nathan and send him off to Basic Training at Fort Benning in Georgia. I'm excited to be walking forward to this next stage, but more excited to welcome him home at the finish line. :)

He does get an "Exodus" at Christmastime, so that's good! He'll get home on Christian's first birthday which is awesome! Then he reports back on Jan 1. He'll be gone until March. But this will open all kinds of opportunities for us. Is it weird to be excited about this? I mean I am not directly excited about sending him off...just what it means. :)

In any case, we're savoring the last moments this week and will send off our soldier with pride!
