First Week of School

What a beautiful day we had today–67, sunny & not a cloud in the sky!  It makes me want spring to be here NOW.  As beautiful as it was, I would have loved to be in Indiana and gotten that snow!  It has been too long since I’ve had snow (the slight dusting we had at Lewis doesn’t count!).

Jim is almost finished with his first week of school.  Today they had a PT test, dental exam & eye exam.  Yesterday was a day full of briefings (about medical care, etc.) that he’s heard many times already.   Last night he had to write a two page biography.  He wasn’t much amused by that.  It took him only two short paragraphs to write about the first 22 years of his life!  I wasn’t around for 17 of those years and yet I could have written at least twice as much for him. :)

Beginning Friday, he *should* be able to live at home!  He has to maintain a room at the barracks but they are letting them live elsewhere if they wish.  We aren’t sure how much time they will be spending out in the field, so he may not be home much.  But we’ll take whatever we can get!
