11 weeks down, 18 days to go!

18 days. Wow. That’s fantastic. Bring it on!

My boy has taken his 5th of 6 tests and scored a beautiful 98 on it, which keeps him as the top candidate for the Distinguished Graduate award, which he desperately wants. One more to go and he’ll know for sure! His schedule is still very full, his meetings aren’t as frequent and his running (on his own time) is on the upswing as he wants to train for the USAF marathon in September. (Maybe his girlfriend will go along with him and run the 1/2 marathon…?)

He is terribly anxious to get home, and I’m certain that will only increase over the next 18 days. (I really think it’s more like 17, but I’m at the point where I don’t care about the math anymore!) Of course he can’t wait to get back to a sense of normalcy again, though for the first month back, it won’t be normal as he will be on active duty at the base. BUT HE WILL BE HOME.    There will most definitely be a period of adjustment when he returns, which I am not looking forward to (let’s just be honest), but we will get through it! I wonder how many other couples get to (read: have to) go through things like this…? 

I like looking forward to the end of his time in Texas. I’m just about over this stuff… 

Continued prayers requests include ability to focus, continued buffered immune system, an injury-free body while he starts (and continues) his marathon training program, continued communication with the ones back home, time to study and time alone with God. Thank you all for your continued prayers! 18 days to go- almost there!
