very proud

We are so proud of Nic. Standing on Hilton Field during Family Day and Graduation it was overwelming how much pride was in the air. These soldiers have given up so much and worked so hard to get to this point. I am very thankful we could be there to see him honored and be apart of that.

Nic starts AIT next Monday, after Alex graduates and his platoon joins them. Finally, the two of them will be together! Different companies but closer than they have been.

After the third week they will get their phones, ipods and laptop. It will be great to have more communication with him.

After AIT they both come home for two weeks...and Alex' wedding!...then Nic is off to Jump School, Ranger inprocessing and 2 months of Ranger School.

Thanks so much to everyone that has written Nic. He said it really kept him going and felt bad he didn't have time to write everyone back. I have his new address and if you would like it please send me an email.
