Kellen had liberty this weekend and was free to call me/whoever and be called all weekend, which was so nice! He was pretty bored though. That is a welcomed change from the pure stress and go-go-go mentality of OCS. He actually phoned tonight and had me order and ship his books for his summer class that starts in 3 weeks. He has a big test for ODS this Friday, and after that it's just leadership training and graduation marching practice; so nothing testable I guess.
He got his "choker" uniform (I think that's the white one) today and it apparently fits him very nicely and he has received compliments from "the nurse across the hall".... hmmm. I, of course, think he's handsome anytime with my wife goggles, but I'm sure he makes a suit/uniform look good with his broad shoulders.... I can hardly wait to see him in person! We're almost down to 2 weeks... I get giddy just thinking about it!
This weekend is the Sharpe Family Reunion (my mom's mom's side of the fam). It's every summer, but this will be a different year with both my siblings & their spouses/children and Kellen away. They're kinda my "go-to" people... it's always a fun time and everyone is wonderful, but there's still that void that I'll notice. I'm glad to be occupied for sure! I'm also looking forward to spending some time with my BFF (hehehe) Tina. It's been much too long since we've done this, but a sleepover and day by the pool is just what the doctor ordered :)
I updated Kellen's ODS address in case there's anyone mailing things- just check that blog post.
Thanks for your thoughts, prayers and encouragement!
