After the liberty run we move to a different area and the recruits finish their 5 mile run (I believe that's what it was), then they run into this spot we are standing in and we listen to a drill instructor for a bit then the recruits are released to go back to barracks and shower. This is him running to their assigned spot. Again, we got into the perfect spot!

Talk about lucky! We found our spot behind Kenneth's platoon number and waited for the moto run. I had to warn Kali if she by chance saw her brother NOT to run to him because he could still get into trouble. Well, here they came, the crowd is screaming, the tears are flowing and yep.........he stopped right in front of us! He's behind the guy in the middle row. We were crying and screaming that we loved him. Kali's trying to get somewhere where she could see his face, i'm sure it was hard for him but he did a great job focusing because we weren't making it easy!

Haven't Been On In A While...
Well, I haven't been on in a while. It's been a crazy few weeks since Kenneth has left. I've been trying to send a letter every day or every other day. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Kali has started school and will start clogging this week. We've been staying busy by going to football and volleyball games. Trying to support Cori as well as a good reason to get out of the house. Kayla has had a rough summer. She contracted a staph infection and has been in and out of the doctors for that. She's on her 4th blister. She also had a biopsy done this past week. We are hopeful everything will be okay with that. My sweetie has been poked, prodded and sliced so much these last few weeks. We are all anxious for her to get better.
Kenneth graduates on the 24th from boot camp. We are so excited to see him! Us girls are fighting over who gets to hug him first. I'm giving up my spot for his little sister. This has been a hard time for her and she is so anxious to see him. She makes a wish to a star every time she see's one to please hurry and bring her bubba home. I'm sure I can wait a few minutes for my hug and kiss.
We will be staying for a couple of days after graduation. We are going to go to Sea World and Universal Studios. Can't wait!

For Kenneth

Where Has The Summer Gone?
That's what I'd like to know! Kali will be back to school for orientation on the 20th and full day the next Monday. I can't believe the time is here. However, I am looking forward to attending volleyball games and cheering for Kenneth's girlfriend Cori. I'm also ready for football! I'm hoping that these will keep me busy and the time will go by faster than it has.
Kenneth will only be gone 3 weeks on Monday the 18th. It's not going by fast enough! I have finally gotten some letters from him and he's so homesick. It breaks my heart to read his letters. I miss him so much!
Kayla's been busy working. Her and Paul came and spent a weekend. We went and watched "Momma Mia"......hahahaha, poor Paul. He thinks we set him up! Anyways, what a great movie!
