In the Army Now!

For those of you who haven't heard, Brett has joined the Army. His goal is Special Forces. He left for basic training in Fort Jackson, South Carolina today. He'll be there for 9 weeks, then he will go to Virgina for an additional 6 weeks for his MOS training, i.e. specialty training, in small arms repair. As of right now, the plan is to have Brett return in December and then hopefully attend Texas A&M in Spring 2011 to finish his degree and do ROTC/Army Reserves. So I'm staying here in B/CS working. Brett's Marine buddy, Tanner, shaved his head on Friday so we both could get use to his new look. Check it out below. And of course, I took a picture of "First day of Army" right before I dropped him off at the recruiting center. I didn't cry...in front of Brett. It was surreal to take him there and talk to the Sergeant Murphy who has helped us get to this point. This is a path that I didn't expect to take, but I am totally excited. Brett and I are both surprised on how excited we are about this new adventure, but we have come to the conclusion that the reasoning is because it is the correct path for our family to take. We both have received confirmation that this is right and what the Lord wants us to do.

Goodbye hair!
