Boot Camp

Nathanael finally arrived at boot camp in Chicago around 1:15 a.m. today! The plane couldn't get out of Columbus for quite awhile due to poor weather in Chicago and then the 30 guys that had made it to Chicago had to wait for more to arrive before the bus would take them to boot camp! Anyway, the first 2 weeks are going to be the toughest. Now we look forward to his first letter!

Nathanael

Ok-Nathanael is headed to Col. again. He is supposed to leave for boot camp Weds. A.M.. I thought I'd share a picture from his anchor's aweigh get together.

Update

Just an update here- Nathanael was ready to go to boot camp on Mon. He was in Columbus and was cleared to go except -he needed a Dr. to sign off on him! He had seen a Dr. in Findlay the Friday before and was on antibiotics- hence the need for the Dr. to sign off on his care. Well- it couldn't be done without a visit to the Dr.! so- his recruiter brought Nathanael back to Findlay to see the Dr. and faxed the needed paper work into command right away so there would be no further problems. Now he will leave on the 21st-barring no further problems! It worked out in Nates favor since he isn't feeling good at all. The Lord does know what He's doing!

Old and new news

Ok- so here I am-Finally!! I'm posting some photos from Hannahs FL Christmas trip so you can see what kind of family she's marrying into! (I think we'll get along fine!)Really- she is gaining a great family. We're getting ready to see Nathanael off to boot camp at Great Lakes. No communication for 2 wks! After 8 wks. of that he'll have a few days then he'll start A school. That will be abut 18 months. We went out to Olive Garden last Sat. night-compliments of Nathanael, and had a good time. (A certain young lady came to visit!)Becky Pearce is Nathanaels special friend. She is a very nice girl and a go-getter. We're also on the count down for the Wedding June 9. Meeting with the caterers tonight(2 of my sisters!)Aren't things expensive! Tom and I could do a weekend get-away for all the postage we're buying! Now- there's an idea! Really- we're having to much fun and excitement! Life is great!

Weekend update

Busy weekend! Aaron and Nathanael are on their way to Fl. as I write this. Aaron will be staying with Sam and Robin Ogg and working for Sam. He'll be staying until--?? He doesn't know how long he'll stay. Nathanael will be flying back Tues. Andy is coming for the weekend. He and Hannah will complete their premarital counseling with Bro. Nichols and then Andy will return to FL. on Mon. eve. Life just seems to stay busy! Hope your weekend is great!

Spring!

Time to start thinking about Spring and the garden! I have really enjoyed my garden the past 2 years. I've had very good results and it yielded much for it's size. This year I think we may enlarge quite a bit. So- I'll get the opportunity to plant some things I couldn't in my smaller garden. Lot's of work but, it also offers a lot of "therapy"!
