The scoop

Hey guys,
It has been 30 days since Josh left for BCT and he has only completed one week of actual Boot Camp because the facilities where they train people were over crowded. He spend three weeks doing nothing. He was pretty frustrated about it. He has eight weeks left and his graduation is Dec. 14. I would be lying if I said it's been easy, but, I am so proud of my hubby. I know I'm being biased, but, come one, he lost over 40 pounds for this! I can't even lose 5 pounds. If your wondering how he did it, he was on the Lemonade diet for one mth. Anyway, chubbs and I are trying our best to stay busy. While he's in school I work, and when we're not working and at school, we distract ourselves with Larry Boy video games and Friends. We are also helping my parents out with their church and have been working on several projects. We are getting ready for Christmas here at the Salvation Army. For those of you who don't know, Christmas is the busiest time of year for the Salvation Army. I am in charge of the Adopt-a-Family, which is a program for families and companies who want to pay for another families' food, clothes, and toys. I have to screen all of the applications and decided who gets who. Anyway, four times a week chubbs and I go to the YMCA to workout, (they have a daycare where they let the kids workout too). And, we go to Boise often to walk around the mall and window shop. So, we're doing pretty good. After Josh finishes boot camp he gets transferred to Fort Gordon, GA for Advanced Training which is 4 hrs from Cleveland and that's when I move back out there. So probably after Christmas I'll be moving back to TN. Crazy I know. But I'd rather be close to Josh so I can see him over the weekends instead of far away like this. Overall, I am glad that he is doing what he's always wanted to do and I have peace that we are where God wants us to be at this point in our lives.
