It's Been Awhile
Things have been hectic and interesting around La Casa Sabin. All the changes related to my job have been stressful enough and we added to the chaos by staining the deck, adding a misting system to the back patio, the garden and hosting various yard parties. What has truly kept my attention the last 6 or 7 weeks however, has been the preparation work getting my son into the military.
Yes, this morning, Josh shipped out for basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, MO to attend the engineering school as a 21B, Combat Engineer.
Being former Army myself, I'm proud of him for choosing this branch and he was gracious enough at dinner last night to inform me that I was his biggest inspiration, a thought that makes me teary eyed even now. He's matured quite a bit going through this process and it goes without saying that the maturing will be continued by his Drill SGTs.
Please keep him in your thoughts.
