Well Dustin left for Marine Corp bootcamp Oct 27th. He was supposed to leave in Jan but they gave him some incentives. :) :( I 'm sad and happy, I'm sad because this has lead to me and my husband being away from each other for now 2 and a half months. Happy because He's becoming such a incredible man they're really toughening him up. He sounds great on the phone. I've got a couple of calls and he says he likes it. He has a great attitude. He only haves 2 and half weeks left, thank God! :) This has been the hardest soon to be 3 months of my life. I am so excited to see him.
A few updates as to his status. He came down with bronchitis then pneumonia the first few weeks but has recovered from that. During what they call Swim week Dustin got Swim Qual 2 which is the highest qualification you can receive. Then during field week when they practice using their rifles Dustin got "expert" which is also the highest you can acheive. I am very excited that God has given him the strength and endurance to complete these tasks. The last accomplishment he has is the "crucible" which is a 52 hour obstacle course, hike, really hard course. He has that in a week and a half.
The holidays were a bit of a blur everything went by pretty fast (mostly because I wished it too) and were a little uneventful and sad because Dustin wasn't here.
Thank you so much for all the friends and Family who have supported us in this time. We really appreciate you!
