Yesterday was Wednesday and I got to see Brian. I am so grateful that we live close enough to drive up and see him. We met at Chick-Fil-A (so good) and the girls got to play. Once again Brian was full of conversation. He got 100% on his test! PT is hard but do-able. He is doing well, and feeling confident. He was happy to announce that he has been...uh...more regular. Actually, what he said was that he has been able to "read a magazine," or "drop the kids off at the pool". His roommate called it "freeing Willy". I know it is gross, but apparently it is a big deal, worth high-fiving over. For some reason, maybe the food, the pipes have been slow moving for all the cadets. I wasn't really sure how to respond to his announcement. Congratulations? When M poops on the potty I praise her and tell her how proud I am of her... :)
Today was Thursday and my last day for my growth group until mid September. I loved my group! I will miss the time with them during our break. I am excited, though, for the Beth Moore study on the book of James! Thursday also means time at the local PHC, which also involves a group of great women! Let us not forget movie night! Hunger Games! My BFF, her daughter, and another friend came to enjoy popcorn, chocolate, and great girl time. We were missing one of our friends and of course, her sweet baby boy. I am keeping hope alive that she will be able to attend soon, it is not the same with out her. :) It was still a great evening! I have some pretty awesome friends. :)
I did get to talk to Brian some more before the start of movie night. He said today was smooth, he didn't have multiple uniform changes like he does tomorrow. The more times he has to change the more stressful it is for him. He had a spelling/knowledge test today and only missed two! I found that funny since A had a spelling test today and missed two. He said another person quit the academy today. Brian is still going strong! I am very proud of him. He has a healthy view of what he is going through. I know he still needs encouragement, and there might be a time when I need to talk sense back into him, but for now he is doing great.
Tomorrow is Friday! Brian is coming home! I need to find the nutritional information for dinner tomorrow night. Most likely taco casserole, Brian's favorite, but that might change. :)
Blessings,
~Cara
