Letters from Luis

nWell, I thought I would update my blog. I have really been busy this last month trying to get everything organized at my parents house and trying to feel at home. It has been difficult because my sister and her family live here as well. They were supposed to be moved out before I moved in but finances are short and so we all live here together. I have a lot less space then I was planning on and I brought too much stuff to fit into that small space. Well, I think I have finally got everything organized and settled.
This week I received 4 letters from Luis. He is doing well and working hard. He has passed his first set of Physical Trainings and also his swimming test and float test. We are really proud of him because he was so worried about these tests at Bootcamp. He is also studying really hard for his next set of tests on all the procedures, aircarft info and gun handling. I'm not too worried about these because he does really good on tests so we are just praying that he passes with flying colors. If he passes all of these tests he will graduate on Feb. 12th. This is really exciting because this is the day after his birthday and right before Valentine's Day. I will be attending his graduation but have decided to not take my girls to save myself the pain of having them see their Daddy and then having him leave again. I have thought about it a lot and I don't think I could handle it, let alone Luis handling it too. Anyway, I look forward to seeing Luis again soon, only about a month to go. After he graduates he will be going to Mississippi for his job training. He will be there for about 5 weeks and then we will find out where we will be moving to. So for now we still don't know for sure where we will end up.

Luis is off...life goes on...

Well, I guess I should let everyone know how things are going. Luis left for bootcamp yesterday and he got there safe and sound. He called me to let me know he was there but by accident I pushed the ignore button on my phone and missed his phone call. I was extemely upset seeing as how this was the last phone call I would receive until who knows when. He left a cute message though and that sort of makes up for missing his phone call. He left a day late because of the massive snow fall in the Salt Lake area. And the lastest on our house...yeah touchy subject. We were supposed to close before Luis left but they asked for an extension so we were nice and gave it to them. Well yesterday we cancelled the contract because they just keep asking to extend and I'm tired of it. We are now in the possess of finding a new buyer. Wish us luck...we will need it...and any prayers you would like to send our way we would appreciate it. And so now the girls and I are at my mom and dad's house in Hurricane, UT. It's crazy here with 5 kids and 5 adults (my sister and her family live here as well) but it will work out. I'm going a little crazy with nothing to do so I'm looking for a part time job just to get out of the house every once in awhile. Well that's about all for now.
