As most of you probably know by now (and everyone who heard me scream in Target), we are headed to Pensacola for flight school! No idea when the report date will be. Official orders probably won't be out for a while yet. We are more than thrilled and ready to have our family back together. Landon is also excited to know that he will be seeing Riley again soon.
Thursday I flew up here to try to clear out the clutter in the house and also spend some time with Dan as long as liberty was granted. We got to spend yesterday afternoon and most of today together before I had to give him back. For the first time in a long time we went to a nice dinner last night (went to a fine dining place at the Mohegan Sun casino) and this afternoon we saw a movie. Very odd for us to be without the boys, but nice at the same time.
This morning just as we checked out of the hotel Dan received a phone call from a weird number. It was someone from USAA calling to tell him he won an iPod Touch in a drawing! USAA was on campus yesterday giving the OC's information about a special loan they offer to newly commissioned Officers and had several prizes you could enter a drawing for.
So all in all the past few days have gone very well for Dan, and our family. I am so proud of him for continuing to not give up as he strived towards his dream. It will be a great lesson to teach our boys as they get older that if you really want something and continue to persevere it will happen.
I did take a few pictures, not as many as I would have liked due to the nasty weather. Hopefully tomorrow after our pre-move inspection is complete I'll be able to post a few!
