Sorry there have been no posts. Not too much has been happening. Josh is right now at our old high school working out with the Ranger team. Last night at the gym a guy came up to him (he was wearing an old ranger t-shirt...) and asked who he was. The guy is this year's ranger commander and told Josh he was on the wall in the ROTC room and of course this caught Josh's attention. Long story short, the guy said he should come say hey to Sgt. Barnes and work out with him so he's there.

Josh was supposed to go to a future soldier's competition on Sat. but they rescheduled it for a different weekend. He was sad, thinking it would have been nice to look good against all the others :)

He talked with his recruiter this morning and everything is still in order.
Josh's (and mine too ) best friend Daniel is headed to MEPS ( Military Entrance Processing Station) this weekend to take the ASVAB and have his physical done. It's in Knoxville. We are hoping everything stays in line there for him. They both are hoping to go to basic together.

I am going to order the invitations for Josh's party soon. It just makes it seem that much more real. I know I have had my one big break down over all of this, but that doesn't mean I won't have a bunch more too! It is a strange feeling to look at him and touch him and know that two months from now, he won't be here for that....
