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!



Kenny and Andy on Graduation Day

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!

Here We Go!

Wow! I never thought I'd be doing this but we too are jumping on the bandwagon. For those of you who we see rarely I'm including an update on our family.
We currently live in Florence AZ. This could change within the next year as Kenny enlisted with the National Guard and reports for Basic Training on September 4th. Basic Training is in Georgia for 9 weeks and then he will be off to Virginia for job training. In February he will receive his first official post. We have no idea where that will be and I'm curious as to how that will change our lives. For now, the rest of our family will stay put in Florence and cheer Kenny through his training. When we find out where his first post is then we'll have to decide about our house, moving or staying and another myriad of questions I'm sure. Anyway, please keep Kenny in your prayers as he embarks on this new adventure!
