And he's off

The last couple of weeks have been very challenging here in the West household. With graduation and preparing for Bubba to leave we were either running errands, having parties or just tired. It was an interesting two weeks but Bubba is finally off. I took him to San Marcos yesterday and he took a bus to San Antonio. We met up for dinner with my brother, Grant, and his friend, Landon. This morning he got up at 4 am and headed to MEPS for processing again. He went through his physical. He swore in around 10 am. And last I heard was still waiting to leave. His recruiter told us he would leave MEPS around 4 pm and head on to Lackland AFB where he will be for the next 8 weeks. It was hard to say goodbye but we made it through. He said he was really nervous when I talked to him earlier today... I wonder why? LOL. In the next couple of days he will finish being processed and given clothes. Actual training will start next week. They will start some PT this week, but not much. I should be receiving a phone call on Sunday with his mailing information. If you would like to mail him a letter you can email me or facebook me and I will get it to you. This is going to be a challenging 8 weeks for both of us, but I am super excited to see what God has in store for our family!
As soon as I hear something more I will post again! Thanks for all of the prayers and support!
