Leaving for basic training

Well, the day has finally arrived. Josh will be leaving first thing in the morning for the Air Force Reserves. I have dreaded this day but I'm so proud of Josh's choice to serve this great country of ours. Josh will be leaving behind a girlfriend this time though. Stephanie came into his life shortly after his return from his mission (thanks to his little bro's cell phone!). We all love her and hope she will be here when he returns in September.

Josh will be at basic for 8 weeks at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio Texas then on to Shephard for Tech School. We are planning on going in May to San Antonio to attend his graduation from basic. We will miss him terribly though and our house will be a lot quieter without him. I'll keep ya all updated on the happenings in his life on the link to the right of the screen under Josh's jaunts (corny but true) if you are interested. Good bye Josh and Good Luck!!! See you soon and make your mama proud!

Good luck, Josh! And Diane, I hope you are handling the day okay. It's got to be hard to have him leave. As for the quiet house, if it gets too bad, you can borrow my kids for an hour. :-)

He's a great kid....or is he considered a man now? Nah!
