Virginia and then where?

Okay, here comes long-awaited post #2! I wouldn't know where to begin to catch up on all that has gone on since post #1 but here are the most important things I can think of. Kenny graduated from Basic Training and is now at Fort Lee in Virginia. Thanks to his awesome family I was able to fly out to the graduation and enjoyed almost a whole week in beautiful Georgia. I stayed with Kenny's brother Andy, wife Amy and their two cute kids! Kenny's mom and her new husband Dale came also. We had a great time and caught the tail end of the gorgeous fall colors!

Once I got back it was a rush to get ready for Christmas and before we knew it Kenny was flying in to spend almost two weeks with us. We had such a great time together. One of the highlights was going skiing! We stayed 2 nights in Pinetop and learned what it was like to be truly cold again as well as how to ski, sled and walk on icy sidewalks!
Poor Kenny had to take a major cold back with him to Fort Lee at the end of the trip but we had great memories to warm us also! Kenny graduates from Fort Lee on February 20th. It seemed so far away but now it is practically upon us. I can't wait to find out where he will be stationed next. Kenny heard speculation that he may have to spend 6 more weeks in training in Missouri learning how to drive all the big army vehicles. After that he would receive his first official post. Wherever he goes, I'm sure this year holds a lot of change for our family. For now I'll be busy at home so we'll just see what happens. Well, this is a poor excuse for a summary of all that has been happening lately but I'll get better as I go!
